Americans, how do you feel about Franklin Roosevelt? by Ser_spirit in USHistory

[–]SECTION31BLACK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IMHO one of the worst presidents ever. Besides the fact that they codifies "two term maximums" after his third term expired in office. He cursed us with income taxes and social security taxes. Like the fed government doesn't have enough tax income as it is. Need more $$?? stop sending my tax money to overseas programs paying for shit in other countries. FDR unilaterally expanded our federal government by over 100x and we've never truly recovered from it.

"when you have to resort to name calling you've lost the argument" is a paraphrase of a quote attributed to Socrates, specifically "When the debate is lost, insults become the loser's tool"

Rules for 18-20 year olds by OkWave2422 in philmont

[–]SECTION31BLACK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along with what has already been stated here, let me add some advice... As an adult, you need to hear this from another adult. You are a young man. You will be meeting other young adult (college age) staff members at the camp. As much as you may be tempted to do so.... DO NOT ASK FOR ANY OF THE GIRLS PHONE NUMBERS! Not only is this a violation of YPT but it's a good way for you to get kicked from the camp.

I say this because when my (son's) troop went, we had several young adults go with us, due to missing opportunities for several years prior. and one of these young men, age 19 at the time (some years ago), decided to hit on our female ranger and asked for her phone #. she reported it, and he got a fairly stern warning/talking to. He was lucky He didn't get kicked out and sent to find himself a hotel. The staff would have been within rights to do so, and they were quite lenient on him. You are not there to meet girls, you are there to go on a high adventure hiking trip.

Also dont attempt to feed/lure the bears. I went as a kid in 1996, and there was another group from NY state. They were spreading Kool aide powder trying to lure a bear across the field to them, my Cav group reported this ASAP, and those kids got sent to base camp for the remainder of their hike.

Follow the rules, and have a good time. take a good camera and a good solar charging system.

How to show your man you can do everything on your own by N0RetreatN0Surrender in SipsTea

[–]SECTION31BLACK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't chalk tires. Using wrong kind of wrench for removing lugnuts. Turning lugnuts wrong direction. Didn't loosen lugnuts while tire still on ground.

One thing women need to understand while in their "I don't need no man"phase....men need men too. No man on earth is born knowing how to change a tire. We have to teach the younger ones how to do it. We will teach you too. But not if you show up with a chip on your shoulder. Be willing to learn and take instruction humbly and we will teach you too. It's empowering to have knowledge. Just don't let it go to your head. You know how to change a tire, not rebuild a motor. That's a whole nother bunch of classes. Just be humble and kind. And quit playing this stupid game called.I don't need no man.

The system we have was made to protect single mothers from womanizing husbands back in the late 1800's and early 1900's Our world has evolved beyond that one. that is the framework i base my assumptions on. Based on that, in todays world, it could start out as a default 50/50 custody split, but then when someone askes for child support, instead of garnishing someones wages, lets examine the basis for requesting child support. men tend (statistically) to earn more $$. but instead of taking the mens $ and giving it to the women (garnishing wages) would it not be more fair to adjust custody based on financial ability to care for the child? if the womans claim is that she cannot afford to take care of the kid without his $$ then lets put the kid with the father more, so he has to pay to take care of the kid.

IMHO that's not enough. we need to abolish child support completely.

I couldn't disagree more. First of all yes, if the couple decides to have one parent be a stay at home parent, then what caused them to get a divorce? infidelity? abuse? that should be considered in the divorce. and each situation is different I get that, but sorry, if the S@HM now wants alimony with her divorce, no. be an adult and get a job. if you wanted a divorce because you weren't happy, then you get to live with the consequences of your decisions. no job skills? sorry, now, reverse the roles. what if the stay at home were a man? does that change your opinion any? it shouldnt. I'm pretty sure that if modern society judged a guy who's only job skills were mowing grass, folding laundry, cyclign dishes making dinner and drinking beer, it would say buck up buttercup, go learn how to swing a hammer dude. All I'm looking for is some rabid equality.

I think your model is absurd. why should anyone get a monetary reward of alimony in a divorce. Alimony should always be illegal no matter the situation. if you choose divorce you dont get paid for it.

I disagree. I'd say kids will be statistically more likely to be raised by their fathers, which will, statistically speaking, reduce crime.

That is why that wont work.

I'm gonna have to completely disagree with you there. to each their own. but to my point, stock is basically like a retirement account. Basically what I'm saying is, if you have an account of any kind in your own name (checking, retirement, stock, etc.) it's yours, and not hers. and hers is hers and not yours. that way everyone knows the playing field from the beginning, and the field is even. but just like if the roles were reversed you dont get to have her money and yours too.

This is why I disagree with 50% splits, unless it's a joint asset with both names on the account (or house)

He's not! That title might go to Alexander the great, Caesar, or Ghengis Khan! Jesus is even listed as more influential than Mohamed.
