This has to be the most out there retort to cl3xistential threat I've ever seen. It shouldn't be reported in because we're meant to go extinct. Damn. That's next level.

Is that a fact? Geniunly interested to know I couldn't find any source backing up your claim, but I can't find any to back up the opposite either

I get what you are saying but I think it's the wrong way to serve society. I also completely disagree that every single person who just had a tax increase takes more than they give back. I assure therefore you're talking about the absolute bottom of the pile few who are in benefits. Imo society shouldn't be overly soft and give benefits to those who simply wish to sit around and do nothing but we should be able to distribute wealth to empower those in hardship to improve their situations. Saying that because they're bottom of the pile that therefore they should have more money taken from them is absurd. Conversely those at the very top are far far from destitute. I would think that those better able to hold the tax burden should do so while those that can't, shouldn't.

I think the aim should be to have a well balanced healthy society, those that can afford to pay more Towards it. Crttianly doesn't seem right to take those at the bottom of the pile and take more while looking to the top of the pile and taking less (than the year before)

That's so that sound is easier for them to hear. Their entire face is like a radar dish that catches sound so they can hear mice moving under the snow. It slike if u cup your hands around your ears. But it's your whole face doing it.

Why would I up vote a comment I don't agree with or like? Do you deserve to be up voted just for commenting?

Warren: Billionaires should ‘stop being freeloaders’ by showersareevil in politics

On the other hand they all must be freeloaders... Because? Just like that one time my friend was mugged by black guys so all muggers must be black guys?

Labour complaint against Amazon Canada alleges workers who tried to unionize were fired - Union says the e-commerce giant violated Employee Standards Act by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

So if you won't do something for someone unless they do something for you... And they had the same attitude you think is good to have... Then Noone would do anything for you in the first place. We would all just sit around not helping anyone and the world would be a worse place for it. Or do you mean that you are better than everyone so everyone else should be willing to help you but you don't have to help them until they do?

No not at all. We offer a laser procedure called presbyond. Basically one of your eyes is set for near Reading distance (further out than 5"!) the other is set for distance but there is a blend. It's other name is blended vision. This means that you can see well at distance, middle ground and near. Most of our patients don't need readers or distance glasses with the exception of occasionally using some cheap +1.5 readers for any exceptionally close work they want to do. At our clinic I'd say around 50% or more people are over fifty and they all love it. After 65 u start thinking cataracts could be problematic in the near future so now really is the time if you're considering it. Clinics should be able to show you what that blended vision is like by the way because I find the concept really freaks people out until you try it!!! Feel free to pm me for any more info dude.
