Do you think you shouldn't have to pay for the gov services that you use

That quote was in the context of my social views, which are pretty much right down the middle.

Actually the facts back up most men's rights issues. But it usually takes a feelings over facts argument to convince people to care.

Anyway, I only came in to annoy somebody with that "immoral leftist" line. Guess it worked and bad mod etc. now let's get back to shitting on Trump before this thread is any more derailed.

I mean there's also facts behind pretty much anything you can throw that lame trope at. Still, saying "where is your compassion?" just makes you sound like a whiny soccer mom. Just sayin.

@ TH - It's not really an American thing. It's just easier to discuss this stuff through an American lense because America is to noteworthy.

I mean, I think the way that divorce works in favor of women over men is nonsense, and generic sitcom storylines about how men constantly **** up and women have to put up with us are stupid, especially in how it reflects society's views towards male/female relations, but there's not a whole lot of ways that men get the shaft in society. There are goofy feminist statistics about job ****, but we have it pretty ****ing good.

It's understandable. It's not their fault. The problem with that crap and modern feminism is the completely misguided finger-pointing. Feminists didn't get together and decide that it will be a societal standard for women to get half of all your **** when you divorce. They also didn't decide that they would have primary custody of your children. If anything I'd probably argue those things were pushed on them by the patriarchy.

Def. Women aren't given primary custody because of feminism. They're given primary custody cause men think women are the more caring parents.

Let's get back to this basic statement. It is so socially abhorrent as to render Goofle a jerk, plain and simple.

Hey buddy, my soon to be 28 year old son suffers from a mental disorder. In the last 10 years he's tried his ass off but hasn't been able to hold down a single job for longer than 3 months. He hates being a failure but can't fix it. I've totally accepted the fact that I'll wake some day to find out he's killed himself.

He gets $200 bucks a month from the government for his disability in order to try and keep him off the streets. That's less than $6 bucks a day.

Now let's talk about the billionaires like Trump who pay nothing in taxes because of having the clout to fully exploit tax loopholes designed for the rich.

Get a ****ing clue Goof.

Not that you were looking for sympathy but I'm genuinely sorry to hear that.

Unless they're gay. :laughing:

Me too. One thing you can take pride in, Chula, is that you have nothing to reproach yourself for if it happens (hope of course it doesn't): from what you have said here, and what I know of you, you've been an excellent father and Linda has been a fantastic mother. Just thought you should know that.

He does give a **** about personal criticism. Have you ever seen his Twitter? I don't think you have. He can't even take a parody skit from SNL without getting massively butthurt and tweeting about it. He tried to sue Bill Maher for saying he had tiny hands. Come on now!

You don't know Goofle's views on feminism. He takes the fringe views of modern feminism and paints the entire group with a single brush. He doesn't separate the reasonable feminists from the extremists.

:clap: They vote against their own self interest just to stop another group when it will ultimately hurt them.

It's not like he made one post and all of a sudden everyone turned against him. We legit didn't think he was serious.

This.

You assume wrong sir.

This is my thread and I will let it ride even if you are being sarcastic. It is more of an open thread for discussion. It isn't currently being derailed imo.

Primary custody is given to the more responsible parent. If a man or woman isn't in the position to take care of their offspring responsibly then they won't get custody. The fact that it leans more to woman than man just shows that those specific men suck ass and need not be anywhere near their children.

This is at least half of Republican voters I think

It's like getting nice and full at a restaurant and then being all outraged when the waiter drops the bill

All the services that got you well off cost our money

I was coming in the post something similar. Republicans scream about wanting small government while taking full advantage of all the current services that help them but not wanting to contribute to the system. They also love all the corporate welfare but god forbid someone poor actually needs slight assistance they are the devil and their funding needs to be cutoff and discontinued for being lazy slobs sucking off the system.
