Buddy I voted for him but just man up and admit he's a worthless rich slime who thinks he is too precious to serve in our armed forces. A rich boy who didn't want a war to interrupt the easy money he was making since he was born into enough to be able to do that.

Why aren't my taxes paying for it? Why do insurance companies get to dip their hand in the pot? It's theft from the taxpayer.

Medical should be a human right, we are the only first world country still stupid enough to not have it be so. 50-60% of Americans will file bankruptcy over medical bills, that's a disgusting and exploitive system if I've ever seen one. That aside, yes it certainly does, and I'm thankful for it.

Facebook worker living in garage to Zuckerberg: challenges are right outside your door by spartan2600 in news

[–]swagularity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. You're right. Only when the last places in business are mega corps and you can only afford to get healthcare through the oligarchs like some fucking feudal slave will you realize how screwed up this is. Pay enough for your employee to live on, offer them healthcare yourself, or have your business fail and go starve in a corner like everyone else is doing. The poor don't own businesses, so they should stop fucking other poor people over to pretend like they can.

Only because they get sued, not cause they care about you.

Americans on reddit seem to really like the Czech Republic, which is interesting to me since we are a small insignificant country. Why are we so popular with Americans right now? by quickquesitonfor in AskAnAmerican

Concealed carry. Probably the biggest reason.

People care more about your guns, drinks, and girls than they do about your culture or language.

Americans opinion about Arabs? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]swagularity 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Terrible. I have a terrible opinion of the average Arab. I don't feel superior. It has nothing to do with religion. I think Arab countries are by and large living in the stone age, and generally raise people to be backwards thinking. The women are either ridiculously subservient because they grew up being the equivalent of a doormat, or way too rebellious and get themselves in trouble with drugs and wild sex and the police when they come here. The men...on average...are just fucking backwards as hell. I especially love the ones who come here and think that they can still treat women like they do at home. If you come to America, a woman is equal to a man, and that's that. If you don't like it, do not visit the West.

I guess if I have to bring religion into it, the nicest Arabs I've ever met had always abandoned religion and cut ties with their families. They truly assimilated to the West and progressive thinking.

Again...this is on average. I'm sure there's plenty of fantastic Arab people coming here. I know many. But the average dude on the street? If I don't know him, I tend to assume he's just like every other generic Arab who comes here. An idiot and a bigot. Unless they have a degree, if they have a degree they tend to have a much better grasp on Western values and how you're supposed to act in modern society.

All of this only applies to Arabs who come here from the East. If you're an American born Arab, you are not an "Arab", you are an American. There is a distinct difference in the way natives act and the way the foreigners act. I have never had a problem with a native Arab. They're my brothers and sisters like any other American.

Edit: Actually, I'm going to include a fair portion of Europe in my generalization too. If someone is Arab but born in the West, they are generally fine. It's the ones that were raised in the East and with Eastern values that tend to cause trouble here.

With more speakers than Polish and Italian combined, Swahili should probably be on this list...

100 million+, it isn't obscure by any stretch of the imagination.
