May I recommend starting a restaurant specialising in animelles. May as well put all this bollocks to good use.

I'm a lefty, people have accused me of fighting against freedom ), but I will be consistent enough to recognize I'm not that happy with the proliferation of islam in the US... It's just a personal opinion though. There's no ideological framework behind it. I wouldn't fight or demonstrate against mosques being built, that is an attack on freedom of religion (which one day could come back to haunt us); but I won't say I'm extremely thrilled by it either... Let them build anything they want. I just wished Islam remained closer to the Mecca and farther away from the western world.... 

There are more terrorists in America than in the Middle East. They are better armed too.

I think everyone here can agree with those statements, far right or far left or in between.



(PS, if you have trouble seeing why you agree with statements you can interpret them thusly:

There are more Arab and Liberal terrorists in America than in the Middle East. They are better armed too by our own liberties.

We have to remember the wise words: freedom isn't free, you have to fight for it!

Or;

There are more terrorists in America than in the Middle East. They are better armed too. They kill millions of innocents and despoil countries in the name of "freedom."

We have to remember the wise words: freedom isn't free. Living Standards in the United States reflect great inequality and rampant poverty, the mass of the people have no say in political decisions, while one has right to private property, which most people don't have, while personal property is the domain of the banks (shelter), employers (food) and big industries (health).

(Note the lefties get more words because they are generally wordier- don't we know!).

Talk about contradiction. Aren't they supposed to be the defenders of freedom?

Started washing dishes at an Italian restaurant at 13.  Great experience.  Taught me the value of hard work and earning one's own way.  Got to hang out with cool older guys and learn about girls.  Even if they can't work in businesses nowadays, young kids should have lots of chores and duties around the house to learn discipline and its value.  Of course, they should also have lots of fun too.  

Speaking as someone who wanted to work before I was fifteen and was forbidden to by federal law, yes, I think child labor laws are misguided.

So how about child labour laws? I hate those things.

Yes, I read that and I firmly believe it's BS.  You see it on Cracked too?
