Seriously, this. How can we say we are free if we keep having laws put on us for everything? Right now there seems to be a push to limit people's medical choices and that bugs me to no end.
They just can't help themselves but be misogynistic or racist or fascist lol. some may try to hide that stuff but eventually their true colors come out.
I'll say one side is definitely getting on my nerves at the moment with their push for a Christian theocracy and those beliefs. I do like some conservative policies, don't get me wrong, but that's not one I agree with.
Their insistence on alternative facts, rejection of established science, willingness to overlook behavior that would have been disqualifying twenty years ago.
Mine is that capitalism is the cause of all the economic strife we have, and then complain about corporations despite the fact that they cannot exist under a free market. They also cheer for the shutting down of small businesses and the growth of these corporations because we had a flu-like case going around with a 99.9% survival rate.
To prevent an imbedded inherited wealth class and to repay for the infrastructure that created that wealth. It only effects a VERY small portion of the Uber wealthy.
@DrPepper12 u can gift it away before u die but if u die within 7 years of giving it away there is still tax to pay but it reduces each year until 7 years has passed
No one is for open borders but fox news script writers. Refunding the police Away from stuff they shouldn't be handling is a great idea. Let them focus on law enforcement. That's it. Not social services, schools, medical care, crisis intervention, hazmat, search n rescue, etc.
LEOs: no vetting, a GED n 6 mos training and then you get a gun and a monopoly on violence.
police need to be better trained and vetted with longer waiting periods and classes. Like 3 month long classes taught by responsible parties. As should anybody that gets an assault weapon. It's currently too easy.
Actually no, this is based on a 15 year long study.. Less than 0.1% of children who identified as trans as a child, continued to identify as trans as they grew up.
Even if dailymail was a reliable source (and it isn't, im sorry) a social transition would be reversible. Just stop wearing clothes that would typically be for the other gender, cut/let your hair grow. Go by your original name. It's easy to fix.
The daily mail has the source to the actual study.. So in this case it's reliable. In any case trans and children do not belong in the same sentence, I'm sorry, and nothing you can say or do or cite for that matter will change that fact.
Oh, I don't intend to try and change your mind. That's not why I'm here. Just digging into responses and seeing where people's thoughts are on political policies
Since you say the daily mail, which links to this directly, is unreiliabe, here is the original study which again is linked in the article, which you can click on your self.. Pretty reliable right? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043071/
I skimmed through it but didn't see anything citing those numbers. Just mentions of mortality rates, suicides, and crime statistics for and against those individuals.
Honestly, again, I'm not here to change your mind. You have your thoughts set and that's fine. I was just curious where you stood.
Strong take. Have they ruined it or just made it in an image you disagree with for the moment? I'd like to believe our country is malleable. Besides, right now, conservatives control the highest court in the country, so a lot of what may be going through can get caught there and sent back. Checks and balances at work. 😊
@Ez-Bri-Z_v2 It has been a tough four years. As bad as 2020 was with covid I now think of it as the good old days. There was a gang of illegal aliens from out of state that have been coming here and have done dozens of B&Es and a few were in two adjacent towns. I never locked my basement or my garage until now. I never owned firearms until a year ago.
nmy next door neighbor had his house broken into in broad daylight when nobody was home. I wss home recuperating from a hip replacement when the cops came by and asked me if I saw anything. It could have been my house they broke into and I was in no shape to fight them off id they did, That is when I deccided to buy a ahnd gun and a shotgun.
That makes sense. I moved into a gated community myself for protection. I don't think I could ever own a gun. I'm terrified of them, and I have kids who like to snoop into my things. I'd be afraid they'd get into it even if locked in a safe
@Ez-Bri-Z_v2 I have a friend from college who became a deputy sheriff. He is retired and has a training facility mostly for law enforcement. I took a weeks long training course from him. Gun safety, tactical shotgun and combat shooting. I go to the range a couple of times a month. I feel pretty confident sbout being able to handle fire srms.
I was shot at when I was still a kid (I wasn't the target, but a guy I was with was), and it has terrified me of them ever since then. I don't think I'd even want to hold one to start training.

The fixation on more and more taxes, laws, censorship, rules and every other form of busybody bullshit. Do what you want, just leave me the fuck alone

The funny thing is, both sides say this same thing about the other side.
yeah and yet only one side seems to actually do this when you get down to it.
😉
I'll say one side is definitely getting on my nerves at the moment with their push for a Christian theocracy and those beliefs. I do like some conservative policies, don't get me wrong, but that's not one I agree with.
yup that would be the group im talking about here lol
"So far this week...
The FTC banned the use of noncompete clauses.
The DOL strengthened overtime rules.
The FCC restored #NetNeutrality.
The DOT expanded protections for airline passengers.
This is what it looks like when the government works on behalf of the people."

The violence and the conspiracy theories and the chronic lying. Other than that, I'm sure they are all very nice people.
I'm sure they are too. 😊
LMFAO. "Both sides" Amirite?
@msc545. I can't stand that the left are all Lizard people 😱😱😱
Who told you? That was supposed to be a secret!
Being centrist I laugh at the brutal negativity of the right and the naïve policies of the left.
You and me both 🤝

Inheritance tax increases, it has been taxed once by the person who earned it. Why should it be taxed again
I'm not overly familiar with this topic, but it seems to me it shouldn't be. I don't mind them getting taxed at a higher rate though.
So u r for taxing inheritance?
No, I'm saying I don't mind getting taxed at a higher rate initially to avoid the second hit.
It would be taxed as income when the deceased earned it at what ever their usual rate of tax would be

@DrPepper12 not in the UK it doesn’t. It’s 40% of any estate over £500k
Wow!!! Didn't know that! That's STEEP!! Can you put it in trusts and investments if it's not real estate?
@DrPepper12 u can gift it away before u die but if u die within 7 years of giving it away there is still tax to pay but it reduces each year until 7 years has passed
I disagree with the Left's "Defund the Police and Open Borders" that's not helping anybody except Criminals.
That's fair though I do think people should still be able to come here and obtain citizenship, I just believe they should do it the right way.
Exactly
No one is for open borders but fox news script writers. Refunding the police Away from stuff they shouldn't be handling is a great idea. Let them focus on law enforcement. That's it. Not social services, schools, medical care, crisis intervention, hazmat, search n rescue, etc.

Dont tell me no one is for open borders. That's a lie
police need to be better trained and vetted with longer waiting periods and classes. Like 3 month long classes taught by responsible parties. As should anybody that gets an assault weapon. It's currently too easy.
I'm also going through a lot right now so I dont mean to be angry.
You know what, you're right!! The CORPROTOCRACY we live under is! Let's jail the employers!!
It's all good. Hope it ends soon!
And they can just terminate you for whatever reason. Well I'm not buying their shit anymore.
Thanks. I hope so. Apparently I need a job to eat shit that naturally grows on the earth.
Oh wait I already signed up for food stamps for the 6th time because I'm a 3d artist with 15 years of experience.
The right doesn’t trust science because it never agrees with them
They think it's acceptable to drug and mutilate children.
I'm assuming you are talking about transgender issues here, otherwise there is a bigger scandal I'm not aware of lmao
I'm perfectly fine with trans people. I'm not okay with parents doing that to their children.
There is more to it, things I experienced as a child not related to trans stuff.
So you'd be ok with a social transition for trans kids just not meds and surgeries?
Actually no, this is based on a 15 year long study.. Less than 0.1% of children who identified as trans as a child, continued to identify as trans as they grew up.

democrats have ruined this country.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you don't personally experience any crime based from that.

UK here. I hate when the Conservatives waste taxpayers money.
The left will only acknowledge pedophilia if it's someone on the right.
how come u didn't follow me :(
Lol that's your biggest pet peeve about politics? Ok I can follow you if that helps 😊
