People who refuse to work. Spoken like someone who hasn't taken two seconds to look at the stories of overworked professors, people in dead end retail, the subhuman standards of restaurants, the unsafe working conditions in places like Amazon warehouses and ON and ON and ON.
But yeah, none of these people are working lol.

Look, I just rather some of these Conservative voices to just say "*** you, I got mine" and be done with it.
At least you'd be honest instead of the disingenuous tripe.

You guys want to use a service for free. No service is free.
That is the impasse that you refuse to acknowledge!

What are taxes?
A miserable pile of partisan gridlock. But enough of this, have at thee!

If Colonel Sanders could call himself a colonel, why can't I call myself a Captain? I got that Assault rank fair and square.

That is the impasse that you refuse to acknowledge! Look... Some services are free to use and that's usually because no one or very few would pay to use them but a Great many would use them for free take Facebook... They usually pay for this by capitalizing off our idiocy and market our lives to anyone willing to pay...
I don't like people pirating ***or wanting certain entertainment for free like they just expect it to be that way since they can't afford it... It's ridiculous to me... Though as a nation we should be able to feed and shelter everyone... I'm not saying 5 star meals and everyone gets a home but we should not have people starving or dying on the streets of our nation... We should take care of our own.

Yup, that's me. Whining because I think other people owe me.
By Altimaomega 2016-03-07 14:45:14
How?
You are paying to use it somehow.

Food banks are literally everywhere. EBT is easily available. It is not free that money comes from somewhere.
Untrue. Even Food banks require someone buying the food that is distributed.
Nothing is free.
Edit. Fixed since people refuse to think.

He said "free to use", not "free", and there's a big difference. Don't twist it.
Free to use just means you're the product.

Free to use just means you're the product. It isn't free to use though.. You are paying for access to it somehow. Phone bill. Internet bill. Electricity bill.

Facebook? Not necessarily. The internet itself is the most obvious barrier, but libraries have publicly available internet. So, someone who didn't pay taxes (no income, tourist, whatever) using one of those would be getting it completely for free.
[Edit: also, mark edits if you're going to make them. Seeing extra ***show up in a post after people have replied is really annoying, and you do that ***all the time. Write it out correctly the first time, for ***'s sake.]

It's a resounding no on equal opportunity. Being born in a shitty neighborhood and having to attend an underfunded public school is already a huge minus before you can think for yourself. Parents also qualify. As does your ability to access extracurricular activities which are fundamental to developing hobbies that could become marketable talents.
It'd be a hard argument to make that future generations are going to be better off than the last two.

Okay, you got me. They get to use Facebook for free mooching off the taxpayers that fund the library.
The First few times. Every library I know of requires you to get a library card to use the computers. Costs 2-3 bucks for the card.

Not all libraries are funded by taxes.
In some places a photo ID will suffice, and thanks to the waste of time that voter-ID laws are, in some places you can get those for free (they should be anyway if they're a requirement to vote).
Keep clawing.

What's the difference between libraries being funded by taxpayer dollars and college education? In both cases the rich are paying for the poor right?
If you want books or internet buy them yourself. Stop looking to the government for copies of the latest hentai.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
