OK so Muller turned in his report with no new indictments so this means Trump has been vindicated. I said all along this would happen, so many scoffed. I said way back before the election Trump would win, everyone scoffed. My next prediction is that the Democrat party is going to implode and nearly all the current top ranking Democrats today will all be sitting in jail cells by the end of Trumps second term.

People on the left constantly need to be told what they believe is acceptable. Why do you think they always use the courts instead of referendum to reaffirm their beliefs. The single greatest fear of anyone on the left is having their views put to public scrutiny by vote. When they do have a referendum and lose what id the first thing they do? Call it unconstitutional and have it over turned. Just look at the last Presidential election. They lost fair and square. What do they do? Try to take down the president by any means they can. The left cant stand to lose or have their views questioned or challenged. Look at our College campuses, a perfect example where the left cant stand to have any other point of view heard. They threaten and kick people off campus. Where am I wrong? Tell me this truth you speak of.

Do you ever read or learn from history. Your view of gold and silver is so short sited and as of today. What part of fiat currency never lasting don't you understand.

Not now it isn't, but when fiat currency fails, which it does 100% of the time every time it is used in place of gold and silver it will be valuable. You wont be able to buy shit with your worthless fiat currency. See Weimar Republic, The most recent example of it failing. The American dollar is 90% of the way there. When the US dollar ceases to be the world reserve currency which will happen, the federal reserve will no longer be able to issue worthless currency to pay for never ending deficit spending. Gold and silver will become king.

Because people on the left need to have their views reaffirmed constantly. That is why the left always uses the courts to affirm what they believe. If left to society the left would be laughed out of town. Debating simply makes them feel better about their views. They can't just know what they believe is right or wrong, they need to argue that it is. They need this to justify what they do and believe. I am on the right so I don't need to justify anything. There is right and there is wrong, To me it's simple. To them it one giant grey area. Right can be wrong and wrong can be right. Which way it goes depends on how it affects their life style and feelings.

@secularmerlin
Are you referring to fiat currency? If so then yes you are right, it's as worthless as two tits on a hog. People believe in currency much in the same way one would believe in god. The govt (GOD) tells them it has value but in reality it is worthless paper that isn't even worth the paper it is printed on. That also applies to all the coinage that is made of zinc. So yes money is an abstract. Gold and silver on the other hand, a totally different story. It never loses value. For example 150 years ago a fine tailored suit cost what was then a twenty dollar gold piece. That same suit still costs the same as that 20 dollar gold piece. But really it's even more expensive because gold should be around $10,000 an ounce not $1500. That is how worthless the US dollar really is.

Well from what I can tell, as of today, is that the Democrat Party represents everyone in the world except the citizens and the country that elected them. They all hate Trump and will never vote for anything that Trump proposes. The Republican Party is comprised of Trump supporters and Trump haters. 1/3 Trump haters and 2/3 supporters. The US govt is a worthless corrupt seething pile of useless shit. And every single person that works for govt in any way needs to be fired and replaced. It is impossible to distinguish who is corrupt and who isn't. The parties are the same pile of shit. My faith is in the private sector entrepreneur. I, like all entrepreneurs, succeed, work and persevere despite the govt and despite the political parties. Political party loyalty is for mindless dullards who think someone else has the key to their lot in life.

You hit the nail on the head. The spam is counted as traffic. Juggle then shows it to advertisers and advertisers say, wow look at all that traffic and buy ads from Juggle. From Juggles perspective, all that spam is advertising $$. I've said all along that DDO is a tax write off. I remember back in the day people putting links up saying DDO was worth $750,000, I just laughed. Juggle is a consortium of many websites.

No, life is good. I'm just saying you have to have a reference to know when it's bad. When I was young I used to think the same things you think. Now that I have experienced life for a while it's all baby stuff. Worrying about what people think and weather they care about your situation. You are learning they don't. Then you learn to not depend on people and look inward for happiness no matter what's going on around you.

Why do you keep responding? This discussion is over. You solution to poverty is to redistribute wealth. I get that. Been done for the last zillion years and has never worked. There will always be poor people, always. It's up to the individual whether they want to be one of the poor.

You are the one with the ego. This conversation is going in circles. You have made not one relevant point about suffering. I have made many. Suffering is part of life. it will never end. You can confiscate all the world's wealth and give it to who you think is poor and it will all be right back in the same hands of the people you took it from in ten years. You don't care about suffering and the poor, you give useless lip service and try and place blame on people like me that call out your BS.

Your attempt to paint me as a closed minded dimwit only shows your inability to understand that all the world's suffering cannot and will never end. You can only help who you can help. The fact that I don't act like a bleeding heart pussy doesn't change anything. I will ask you again, how many people do you help financially with your own after tax income? You won't answer because it is 0. I have raised 5 children in my life and paid all of their bills. I have fixed countless cars and houses over my life time for people who could not afford to have it done professionally for free or one tenth of the cost. I have donated hundreds of man hours doing such things. Tell us about how you help people other than giving lip service about how the govt should do everything at my expense the taxpayer. I already pay the govt 40% of everything I earn between federal state and local taxes and to this day have seen nothing to show for it. People are as poor as they ever were and there are no fewer but more.

@disgusted
Um I lived in my car for three weeks and survived on bread and bologna the whole time. I never once considered asking the taxpayers to bail my ass out. I know what it is to be poor and go without. That is why I have zero empathy for people living on welfare with their 3 bedroom house cell phones 60" wide screen TV and cadillac escalade sitting in their driveway. Nobody in this country knows what real poverty is. I wasn't even poor when I was living in my car eating bologna sandwiches. Human suffering is 99.9% self inflicted and I am no exception. I have learned to live without and expect nothing. That is why I am not poor anymore. In the end, no one cares about your lot in life except you. Look to no one for anything unless it is reciprocal by agreement by both parties. Never have pity for anyone who has destroyed their own life by obvious bad life choices, not ever. Let them hit rock bottom and suffer. Helping them only enables them to continue a destructive lifestyle.

That's Yemen's problem. I can't care about all the suffering in the world and wont try. I will care about the suffering that I can do something about and that is it. I can only care about the suffering 5 people at a time. I do not have the resources or the time to care about the suffering of any more people than that. To try to care about the suffering of anymore would make me suffer. You can't take care of anyone if you can't take care of yourself. How many people do you personally provide financial assistance to out of your after tax income? I will not give Govt one more dime of my money than I can legally not give govt. They waste all of it.

My children must suffer for my poor life decisions. My children are my responsibility and no one else's. You expect me to pay for your children because you make poor life choices? Only the mind of a liberal would think that. They are your damn kids You take care of them. If I wanted to take care of your kids I would take them away from you. If your kids suffer because you make poor life choices they should know it. That way they won't grow up to be like you. Kids should understand they have shity parents and learn from it. That way when they come of age they can get the hell out of your house and not have to rely on you and your shity life choices.

Like I said you would pick who wins and who loses. You would decide what people make and what they spend their money on. You would micro manage every aspect of every human being. I want no part of your collectivism, I would rather starve and suffer during hard times. I would rather starve and suffer for my bad life decisions. Which by they I did and still do. I'm just not dumb and naive anymore so my suffering is all but a thing of the past.

Your walls of line by line eye bleed are proof of that.
Just one question and we will bring this discussion to an end as we agree to disagree with everything with everything each of us say say.
Why did Venezuela fail so miserably and so quickly? It was a Democratically elected govt and the people by a huge majority chose to have a collectivist system. They had all the greatest minds in the world from Moscow to Hollywood and from Sweden to Mexico advising and watching to make sure it would work. Why didn't it? It wasn't because of a lack of resources. It is rich in oil and a vast plethora of other natural resources. It was once a very rich country with little poverty. What happened? They still have all that. Why doesn't it work?

@mustardness
Yes capitalism is the only system by which the individual through his own efforts and own risk can create wealth. No other system allows that. They all without exception pick and choose who will win and who will lose, pretty much like you would do. "You make to much money I have to take it and give it to this person who did nothing to earn it like you did." I on the other hand would handle all poverty through the private sector. I would give huge tax incentives to donate to private charities. Private charities would be more mindful of those who deserve help and those who don't. Your system doesn't differentiate a real person in need and a useless pile of lazy ass shit that will milk your system for every dime they can get.

"You confusing "spiritual/moral" with the some political parties." EH no, I never once mentioned politics. I have been citing history and the failed attempts at collectivism throughout history. Just because you say anything about how it will work it never has and never will. You are doomed to repeat history.

I've offered no "approach" other than a spiritual/moral basis of one-for-all and all-for-one. Ya that's called socialism, try to comprehend the words that come out of your own mouth. You are saying the individual doesn't matter, the individual's efforts are not for the individual they are for the state which will distribute the individual's wealth to other people who have done nothing "All for one"= wealth redistribution "one for all" = You work for the state not yourself.

@mustardness
History proves in no uncertain terms that your approach to poverty has been tried dozens and dozens of times in dozens and dozens of countries throughout the world over hundreds and hundreds of years. And they all without exception failed and made people poorer and striped them of their freedoms. Venezuela is the most recent. A once prosperous country and within 7 years turned into a poverty stricken shit hole using your exact approch to sloving poverty. Robbing Peter to pay Paul or if you like socialism or if you like wealth redistribution which always leads to communism. Socialism is just a precursor to communism and the total eradication of human individuality. You serve the village you owe the village and you will bow to the village leader.

And finally it comes out "it takes a village" No it doesn't. It takes good parenting and the teaching of self reliance. Teaching children that village will take care of them breeds lazy complacency. Why work when you don't have to. The village will provide. And the village leader will carry a big stick and beat the shit out of anyone who complains about working their ass off and having his wealth confiscated by force while that guy sits on his ass.

Whatever you say. There are no poor people and they are not poor because of collectivism. You are the man. You should be master and ruler of the world. But with that said. Don't ever try and do anything to help me personally with your collective ideas, you will destroy my life.

Maybe this will help. See, when you write three sentences that say nothing there is nothing to address. For instance "Ecology is social system of interelationships between biologicals/souls and the non-biological chemistry of environement.
All is connected and all has to be considered going forward.
Occupied space wealth is the finite set of resources of energy we have for Earth.
Ive been very clear what Ive beeen saying, yet like many others around here, you have difficulty addressing my comments as stated. Why is that?"
You think you are saying something insightful and intellectual. But you haven't said a damn word that even remotely could give cause to be addressed. It is blather. There is no cure for poverty, never has been never will be. Not being poor is a personal endeavor not a collective one. When one makes not being poor a collective endeavor it just makes everyone poor. I used to be dirt piss poor broke. I choose to endevor not to be poor, now I am not. I asked for no help and did it myself. I got rid of people of bad influence in my life and gave up what I thought were pleasures to not be poor. But in reality they were chains and shackles holding me down thus making me poor.
There are ways and paths that individuals can take for the individual to not be poor. There is no collective solution for everyone to not be poor. Poverty is an individual solution and can only work one person at a time and only works for those who endevor not to be poor.
