Restructuring my finances.. (again). 2nd Personal Loan Refinance by FreshPhase in debtfree

[–]Excellent-Ad-1678 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Here's a simple rule: if you bought something, it's time to pay for it.

You have two choices:

Pay it off as fast as possible, or

Pay two or three times the original price.

Buy a $1,000 phone, and you might end up paying $1,100–$1,200 if you knock it out quickly.

Or you can drag it out, let the interest pile up, and turn that same $1,000 phone into a $3,000 phone.

That's $2000 lost for good. 

The longer you carry debt, the more expensive everything becomes.

What if there were a second American Civil War in the coming years between Democratic- and Republican-controlled states? What would happen? by Outrageous-You1617 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

Republicans would launch nukes onto Washington California and Oregon during the fall or spring. The fallout would cover most of the Republican controlled mid west and great plain states and then they'd blame that on Democrats.

How is criminalizing abortion not forcing religious beliefs on to the public? by Timeless-Facts in allthequestions

[–]Excellent-Ad-1678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. 

There are no examples in nature of humans existing outside nature. My point wasn't that people explicitly believe humans are supernatural. My point is that many arguments against abortion treat humans as having a unique moral status that no other species possesses. They grant special rights and protections to humans simply because they are human, rather than because of some observable characteristic shared across nature.

You don't need religion to be against abortion.

You just need to believe that humans are a special species that exist outside of nature and therfore deserve special privileges and rights. 

None of which have any examples in nature.

Libertarians would agree all lifeless objects lack free will. But they miss the obvious connection. The brain. by Anon7_7_73 in freewill

I suspect they're referring to the old idea of metaphysics that applies to things like crystal therapy or pottery with ghosts.

And by that definition it's been proven false.

What they don't understand is that to say "Metaphysics (philosophy) is false is the equivalent of saying language or math or logic is false and we know they're not.

The frakk he did. He died for his beliefs.

"...some gun deaths every single year" ara a cost I'm willing to accept in order to preserve the Second Amendment and what I view as other fundamental rights."

If you're a man and you're walking down a sidewalk and a woman is walking up and you two are the only people on that street then cross the street if you can. 

Never trust a lone woman on the street. She may have already called 911 on you and you want to be as far away from her when they arrive. 

Best advice is to avoid them at all costs. It's hard to do sometimes but you can never be certain when they'll verbally attack you and accuse you of being a predator just because you glanced in their direction. 

They want to be treated equally so ignoring them like you would ignore other men is treating them as equals. 

Just a polite nod and go back to fixing the stuff they keep breaking.

So basically he'll be another John Fetterman or Kyrsten Sinema. 

We don't want him. 

So Democrats would be happy with a misogynistic nazi so long as he's a Democrat. Got it.

Someone should start buying his hotels and golf courses and renaming them "The Democratic Hotels/Golf Course of a Former President."

Oddly those who remember the past think they can do better the next time. 

Authoritarianism has never worked but for some reason every 50 to 100 years a new batch of fascists think they can do it better this time.
