its not like Pelosi is the only person in America, republican or democrat, that wantes to raises the minimum wage (despite what she may tell you:laughing: )

I think we should have staggered minimum wage like the UK. Where the older you are the more you have to be paid.

i dont know about that. if a 30 year old has a wife, 3 kids, and a mortgage he should be making more than a 70 year old that lives alone with her cats. he would have to just to survive.

No. Under 18 would make a certain amount. 18-21 makes a certain slightly higher amount and 21 and higher makes a slightly higher amount. That's how it works in the UK. I think we should just impliment an over 18 and under 18 system.

thats *** and retarded
**** that bull****

Gee you're smart.

ok, just because you are older doe not mean you should make more.
infact there should not even be a monetary unit.
bartering is betetr than giving *** ass aper for soemthing that you don't really need

nah, it would be seen as discrimination. besides it is kinda like that already, considering minors (under 18) are limited on how many hours they are lagelly allowed to work per week.

dont need money? what city do you live in?

no no no, i said itd be better if we didnt have to use a monetary unit
of cours ei need money, i have habits to support

Well some 16 year old who's only working for some nice sneakers and gas money shouldn't make as much as a 20 year old who's parent's never encouraged them to get a good education, has two kids to feed. To me that's common sense. I think under 18 minimum wage should stay where it is and over 18 should be raised. That's fair. Under 18 isn't really getting jipped because nothing's being taken away.

its not common sense if they are doing the same bloody job
if the 20 yera olds got two kids, he needs to learn to use a ****ing condom

child labor laws are enforced to protect the well being of children and give them on less excuse for why they're missing shcool.

I personally think people should get paid for the work they do. if a 21 year old dropped out of high school, has two kids, and is working at wal mart, i expect that i as a 17 year old i should make more money than he does if i do a better job.

Bartering would rule, I could buy New York off the Indians for a few cartons of smokes

exactly. if women and men are going to be paid equally, so should all ages. thats only fair.

:laughing: or maybe 13 beads and a couple dollars

32$ i think? a couple of beads, i shall give you my beaver pelts for your tobacco

Men and women do the same jobs and men get paid more is that fair?

And shut the **** up I was the second kid when my mom was 21 and we lived off of welfare and food stamps. Now we live in a big house have 2 cars nice yard but, **** without that help I don't know whered we big.

I'm Canadian.......................................we got TONS of beaver

me and my mom lie off 600$ a month im not complaining about people who get more or less, alls fair for the work you do, with work you get money for condoms

Did someone mention beads? i give it 5 minutes before Dirt McGrit shows up:laughing:

weell i shall trade you one tri corner cap, for your beaver

glad to know i wasn't the only one that this was funny

I would look mad sexy in one of those

You all had better get back to talking politics before old man Urban sees this and goes delete happy:laughing:

The best form of government would probably be either an oligarchy or a dictatorship.

Nothing says happiness like totalitarianship.

nah, a semi anarchito communistic republic with a minibar is

yeah, and guess who's the dick!

since you have one and i don't . . .

Tom Vilsak just officially announced that he will be running for president in '08.

(I'm counting on Hilary to run, win, and then divorce bill)

Who is Tom Vilsak again?

he was born in pa an orphan and he is the governor of iowa.

has he announced a VP?

not to my knowledge.
I just found out about this in gov and politics.

But i do know that he's a democrat. No republican would announce that they're running for president so soon. :laughing:
besides it's not like republicans have a shot at the white house

Our next president will be a democrat, thank f*cking god.
We need to keep christian conservatives out of our government.

^ yeah, but..i think we need a new type of party

Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the first Muslim elected to the United States Congress, has announced that he will not take his oath of office on the Bible, but on the bible of Islam, the Koran. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

I'm for it. although personally I could care less.
although he couldn't be jewish and do it over the torah

i assume your joking, right?
