No, it isn't "natural" if you think it's natural for men to fight each other over meaningless pussy like animals in the wild.

MGTOW demands that a woman bring something to the table. They look after their own needs first instead of being a slave to someone else. They don't allow their hormones to dictate how they should take care of themselves.

That postal worker murder...
I read somewhere that some extreme gangs of color culture require a person to kill a light-skinned person to gain full membership.
None of those crimes are ever listed as "hate crimes."

Hmm, no claims of whites being oppressed by a black man with a gun. No mention of race at all. Just the truth of a victim and a criminal.
Race-baiting only goes one way.

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job?
Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community organizer"; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote "present"); and finally an unaccomplished single term in United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions. He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as legislator.
And then there was the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama's "spiritual mentor"; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama's colleague and political sponsor. It was easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?
Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal:
To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberaldom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass.
Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass -- held to a lower standard -- because of the color of his skin. Podhoretz continues:
And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) "non-threatening," all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?
Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon -- affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.
Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't care if these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self esteem resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin -- that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is. And that was what America did to Obama.
True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary. What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama speaks?
In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama's oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people -- conservatives included -- ought now to be deeply embarrassed. The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and that's when he has his teleprompter in front of him; when the prompter was absent he could barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth -- it's all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years.
And what about his character? Obama was constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. It was embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?
In short: our president was a small and small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.
But hey, at least we got to feel good about ourselves for a little while. And really, isn't that all that matters these days?
Three reasons why Obama was an unremarkable student and that he benefited from affirmative action.
1) As reported by The New York Sun: "A spokesman for the university, Brian Connolly, confirmed that Mr. Obama spent two years at Columbia College and graduated in 1983 with a major in political science. He did not receive honors..." In spite of not receiving honors as an undergrad, Obama was nevertheless admitted to Harvard Law. Why?
2) Obama himself has written he was a poor student as a young man. As the Baltimore Sun reported, in:
"'Obama's book 'Dreams from My Father,'....the president recalled a time in his life...when he started to drift away from the path of success. 'I had learned not to care,' Obama wrote. '... Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it.' But his mother confronted him about his behavior. 'Don't you think you're being a little casual about your future?" she asked him, according to the book. '... One of your friends was just arrested for drug possession. Your grades are slipping. You haven't even started on your college applications.'"
3) Most damning to me is the president's unwillingness to make his transcripts public. If Obama had really been a stellar student with impeccable grades as an undergrad, is there any doubt they would have been made public by now and trumpeted on the front page of the New York Times as proof of his brilliance?
To me it all adds up to affirmative action.

It's amazing even with a strong state propaganda industry behind the Dems, they still can't beat Trump.
I'm wondering if it is even possible at this point for the Dems to fix themselves. It's been how many years since Bill Clinton? Affirmative action president doesn't count.

Obama was and still is the most powerful president in the history of America.
Never since Stalin has one man controlled state propaganda so absolutely.
Even more than FDR, and that's a high authoritarian bar to hurdle.

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink.
The people responsible enough to have kids are the ones responsible enough to use birth control.
Making birth control more accessible won't stop people from choosing not to use it.

Booze, cigs and lottery tickets were deemed essential reasons to congregate while education, church, and political protests were deemed non-essential.

I went back to re-read your post #33. I agree opportunities are there, but there are a good chunk of people caught in the fake promises of prosperity from government agents vested in the welfare Ponzi scheme.
For example, the state I live in has 7 million people and about 10% live below the poverty line. Last year the state took in 1 billion dollars from the state lottery, which is mostly funded by my state's 700 thousand poor. Most of those poor people contributed a whopping amount near 1000 dollars on average per person per year. If those people had invested that money in either bettering themselves or investing in something with a positive return rate instead of a near 100% negative return rate, they would have far more wealth and security, but they believe the government will keep them safe even from their own individual poor personal lifestyle choices. That propaganda needs to be exposed and shattered for wealth equity to have a chance of closing the wealth gap between the savers and the spenders.

Maybe public schools need to teach gun safety, Like don't grab a police officer's or anyone else's gun.
Maybe a few catchy safety videoes about why you should respect the property of others.

Everyone here is anonymous, so everything posted to this forum is attributed to a person with no identity and next to no contact information considering most people use fake emails for these kinds of anonymous forums and IP traces don't guarantee identity confirmation. The idea of people claiming ownership by posting on this forum is beyond ludicrous.

As the GDP rises, the money supply also has to rise to prevent deflation, which is much worse than inflation as it encourages people to hoard money as the value of money rises.
Economies are designed to have a slight oversupply of printed money (usually around 3%) to encourage people to spend and invest instead of hoarding dollars in a mattress or a vault.
So yes, there is no set limit to the GDP and no set limit to the corresponding money supply level to support that GDP.

Also, value is not a static singular concept. The only reason why trade even happens in a free market is because your time and labor and products and services are worth more to someone else than it is of value to yourself.
Voluntary trade is always a meeting where 2 parties value the thing they are getting more than the thing they are giving. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

No I did not. People come here to discuss ideas, not gloat over credentials. If you want to publish something, this is not a publisher site.
If you want to commercially use ideas and profit off of it, and claim intellectual property of your ideas, there are other websites for that and other platforms.

Due Process requires equality between the parties in criminal discovery. Wardius v. Oregon, 412 U.S. 470 (1973), is the lynchpin to a defendant’s constitutional right to access to relevant documents and data that is equal to the government’s rights to access those documents as it prepares its case for indictment.
No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.
You can't order a person to court without a reason for doing so, even if the reason is "Orangemanbad"

Watch this neat un-ironic trick.
I will now plagiarize Wikipedia.
Fair use is a doctrine in the law of the United States that permits limited use of copyrighted material without having to first acquire permission from the copyright holder. Fair use is one of the limitations to copyright intended to balance the interests of copyright holders with the public interest in the wider distribution and use of creative works by allowing as a defense to copyright infringement claims certain limited uses that might otherwise be considered infringement.[1] Like "fair dealing" rights that exist in most countries with a British legal history, the fair use right is a general exception that applies to all different kinds of uses with all types of works and turns on a flexible proportionality test that examines the purpose of the use, the amount used, and the impact on the market of the original work. The innovation of the fair use right in US law is that it applies to a list of purposes that is preceded by the opening clause "such as." This has allowed courts to apply it to technologies never envisioned in the original statute including Internet search, the VCR, and the reverse engineering of software.

@ILikePie5
Close enough lol. One is a violation of constitutional law, the other is a violation of tax laws.
Although it's obvious to any judge who would hear arguments that both cases are frivolous in that it would be highly unlikely that Obama was born outside of Hawaii considering all the other evidence indicating that he was, and also knowing Trump has been under audit from the IRS every year since he crossed the multi-million dollar threshold for income. So the very notion that Trump had no tax return while being under an IRS yearly audit is beyond speculation.
Just looking at the case for due process, one is a potentially more serious offense than the other one. Neither is going to pass the threshold for due process though. Congress will never find a compelling reason to go to court to explain why Trump's tax returns are vital for proving a crime they cannot name yet.
Constitutional Due process demands that a crime be named.

Lol, technically they both fall under constitutional due process and both are objectively political in nature.
Ok now that I nudged you in the right direction, I will ask again.
What do you think the critical difference between those two cases might be?
