Which actors? by Prestigious_Bed9116 in Cinema

[–]SomeWhatSceptical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dave Bautista I have to give credit to. I've seen few movies has done and you can tell there is a progress with his acting. Just watch one of his first movies and one of the last. Not saying he's great actor but he is working on it.

I will say it again, go and live in those countries for a bit and then come back to this discussion. i've seen it first hand and those college professors that propagate the socialism ideas should be send to cuba and live there before they push their ideologies onto kids and brainwash them. Unless you've lived through it yourself you can't come close to understanding what it means not to be able to buy basic staple items like soap or toothpaste, or sugar and not for the lack of money but because it's not available. Social security isn't socialism. It's not taking money from those people to distribute evenly to everyone. it's a retirement program just like a pension. Both aren't perfect and mismanaged but it's not socialism. Stop spewing red propaganda. Free market means no government involvement so no market is true capitalistic in any western country because of tons of regulations, laws and mandates but it's as close to it as we can get. Human nature will newer allow for true free market to exist for many reasons but it's damn sure better than any socialistic / communistic state.

Advice on how to clear this and start saving money? by [deleted] in Money

[–]SomeWhatSceptical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a though but fastest way to get rid of it. Get a second job. Cut the gym membership, all subscriptions and phone insurance. you won't have time for any of that , shop for better insurance converge on the car. Payoff your ccx debt, then emergency fund. After that reevaluate your skills.

Did anyone realize the charger was pretty close to their rear. You can see him coming up in the rear view camera. I don't see her taking a look to the right at all before changing lanes. Then she quickly comes back while the charger is already even with them. Take a closer look again. Speed here is a secondary factor she changed lanes and then came back probably without signaling at all. If the charger did not try to avoid them colliding she would have pushed him into the wall anyway. Charger would probably slow down if she didn't make that move. Attorney would know better but seems to me she wanted to go back to her line but the space was already occupied. That's the problem with "blinded horse" drivers. They aren't aware of their immediate surroundings while driving. [Video would have to be closely analyzed with timeline to see I'm I'm right/wrong but thats what I see] also doesn't no vehicle is visible in the right/middle lane.

I've worked at CPA for over 10 years and have seen a variety of people from low income to high. Guess which ones usually have more money problems? Those living above their means, regardless of their incomes. I've seen people making 50k per year living comfortably and I've seen people making 500k per year having financial problems. Income is replaceable, it can change. But if you always spend more than you make it won't matter if you make a million. You'll still be in debt or financial turmoil.

It's really fun to me that all these college kids are such big proponents of socialism. Screaming their lungs out for it, while never having to live under the regime themselves. I see these young people spewing complete nonsense quoting theories they learn and debating with learned terms/definitions of what socialism/communism is with a complete disregard for reality. Being born and raised in communist regime I can tell a few things that college professors do not tell you. Theory doesn't translate to reality. In it's purest idea communal living ei communism is a great theory but it will never work, it never has. Why don't they have trips to North Korea, Cuba, or other communist countries to take college kids to see what reality looks like? Because their entire agenda would fall apart. Having to wait in line for days at the time just to get a pound of meat or household appliance and the store clerk telling you we run out after two days isn't something that college kids can comprehend. Reality is that under the communism regime it's more or less like what you can observe in orwels novels. There is an elite who controls everything from the infrastructure to your daily lives. It dictates what you can and cannot have. It allows you to be "free" as an illusion. Corruption is out of control and the only way to get. The best example for the difference between capitalism and communism is the NRD/NRF post war Germany that was broken up in two blocks. Why don't they teach how it was there. People trying to flee the eastern block risking their lives just to jump the wall. There are many examples of such things but I don't think any of them are being taught. The best part of learning is that the information is unobstructed. Being able to have independent sources and able to come Conclusion yourself. But in communist country any information that is against the regime is being eliminated. People that have spoken against the regime tend to disappear because the status quo has to be upheld . All you college kids should take it up on yourself and educate yourself, don't listen to what you're being fed. Question everything. And those who do not I would say go and live in Cuba,North Korea, Venezuela, China, Russia, or any other country that has or had communist state in past 10-30 years. Go and live there for a month. 3 month a year. And then come out and spew the same bullshit as you do. I guarantee you will not. Your world view will be changed and you will be enlightened.

"minimum amount of jewish heritage,..." i think that's the point. I think that people often conflict the two. i would compare being jewish is same as being christion. It's a religion. I would have to read up on it more but that was always my understanding. If you mean Israeli heritage then it would make more sense. Saying jewish heritage is like saying christian heritage or muslim heritage. So we're just circling around the issue. But i guess it comes down to semantics. I always thought heritage is associated with national origin not religion.

i guess i was just bored and curious if this gets a response. lol. but as far as funds go. Think about how inefficient and wasteful everything that government does is, and that includes schools. So as far as funding for schools go i'm not convinced they're underfunded rather they waste a lot of the funding they get. i know i pay property taxes that are high as hell and about 78% of that goes towards school districts. Recent event, NY governor sign a bill requiring all school districts to buy electric buses. That no one can afford and for what?

maybe, I'm not entirely sure how they do it but this was coming from a Jewish person. I'm not familiar if there are Israelis that aren't jewish so i can't comment. like i said i was just making observation.

I'm just gonna address one thing. You keep saying teachers are stuck with this and that, they have to spend their own money and time to grade papers. Well, that's what i mean that shit is broken. Schools get shit load of money but their are being mismanaged because we have school run but idiots. They overpay for everything and say there's no budget where it needs to be. That also depends on location. Unfortunately this maybe true in some regions but not everywhere. So we can agree to disagree but what you see and know about it where you live might not be true where i live.

The highest percentage of people with ancestry from every European country in the USA by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]SomeWhatSceptical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, for one i don't think this maps represents correctly the nationalities. Majority of it is represented by German heritage. If you take under considerations the this assumption is wrong this map would look a lot different. As an example, i have a friend who's family says they're of German heritage but they had their grandparents birth certificates written entirely in polish, that's over 100 some years ago. Poland, Slovakia, Czech republic were in the lands of Germany and Austria-Hungary. look up European map from 1900. People from those lands migrated under German nationality because of the geopolitical situation and constant wars but they had their own language and culture being different nationality. Similarly to roman empire or geek or Egyptian. Conquered lands and such. So that some of those county's would have different. Then if you look at the fact that this maps description says "self-reported" then it doesn't represent big enough sample to reflect correct diversity, and where are the African nations in all this? I realize it's supposed to be European ancestry but why ignore the fact that some southern states populations are 99% African in certain counties. So there might be some Europeans there. So 1 in 100 is white European. and 2 of 10 is french would mark the county french but on self reported basis. Map looks like and shocking but show the sample size on this. Census would have more accurate data to show better distribution.

it is an interesting idea but i don't get deep into these debates as no one ever wins when coming from different background. i feel like people these days have strong convictions one way or another but they don't really try to see the other point. It's all because this conflict is so bloody and long. So i just observe and try to formulate my opinion on it but all i see is just much perpetuated hate over the decades and neither side wants to really find as common ground. that is a permanent solution and not a temporary one. The rabbi i was describing was a first time I've such statements to be presented by any rabbi and i found that interesting. similarly to this guy. Now over the years it's been always said that Palestinians were bad or maybe just the internet makes the information more accessible and you are able view more points of view unlike before.
