So how did you get to work?

Did you have to worry about your work environment?

You are making one very large and unfounded assumption in those questions.

You have no right to use government services and not pay for them.

It's the 5 year old version of flirting, where you pull the hair of the girl you like and put her down to show you care.

Sounds awfully similar to how the right behaves. Has anyone considered that extreme right-wingers actually have a crush on all of us sane people but only know how to express it like a young child?

Taxes are a necessary evil but I'm tired of the damned government using it on stupid shit like military. Over 55% on military, we need to get out of the countries that don't like us and just defend America. I'm not paying to defend some tiny ass country in the middle east.

If you didn't want an honest debate, then you probably should have written a blog, not start a thread on a website that explicitly bans blog-like threads.

Doesn't answer the question! Why did you even bother making this thread if it isn't to convince or force people to listen and follow your ideas?
