    mathloom,

    First and foremost, stop comparing Jesus to the rest of mankind, we will always lose.

    The problem with your statement is that you're saying it's got to be all or nothing. You are saying that because Jesus spent a great deal of time helping others, that his carpentry had to be given up? What if his carpentry provided shelter for those that he helped? Why must we choose between self advancement and the greater good? You talk about Jesus as if had he chosen carpentry rather than prophet, the world would be worse off, who are you to judge, YOU go against the very word he tried to preach.

    If anything, a man should live his life to the upmost of his abilities to maximize his talents. It's up to man to give back from the fruit of his labor, he should not be forced or required, to me, that's the question God poses for us, how are you going to help your fellow man? Do you help your fellow man by working your tail off and giving him a portion of your earnings or do you teach him how to work and get his own? There's a big difference.

    So bacically, help the poor and the vets. Ok, I can get behind that. Wonderful, ok, explain to me what the hell a workforce center is? Have you just admitted that government ran health care is garbage? Are you more worried about GOD in our pledge of allegiance than your are about our border security?

    Please explain what my "warped views" are. Icepick, you claim that you are this cutting edge intellectual but what have you done? What do you do? You b**** and moan about the most trivial bull**** "social" issues that one could possibly conceive. You worry about the vets, good, as every single american should, but you fail to accuse the culprit which is our governement. Do me a favor and keep our vets out of your "progressive" talk. You talk about conservatism as a "necessary evil"? Did you know that the majority of Americans identify themselves as conservative? So you do hate America! You think that anybody that is not a progressive, is devoid of intellect? Your ego and bizarre description of America as a socialist/capitalist country is about the most ridiculous assessment I have ever witnessed. YOU are the evil and garbage that unfortunately lurks in this country. YOU are a part of the mentally disordered left. YOU are a disgrace to this great nation, may GOD have mercy on your pathetic, spineless, cowardly soul.

    Why not do both? The majority of welfare recipients are elderly. Most of welfare goes towards medical expenses. Are you saying we need to teach elderly sick people how to work but not help them out monitarily?

    Why not teach those that are able which is a very small percentage of welfare recipients, and provide aid to those that need it but can't work.

    Because in his ideology, people that can't fend for themselves deserve to die. After all, their burden to the rest of mankind diminishes quality of life. All that money to feed disadvantaged people could buy some really nice Rolls Royces.

    I think I'm heading for the wealthiest subdivision in town, carrying a ****ing chainsaw.

    Bring on the ******* class war already. At this point, it looks like the only way to make things right.

    The wealthy profit-whores have too many working-class idiots brainwashed.

    You will not be able to stay home, brother.
    You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
    You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and
    Skip out for beer during commercials,
    Because the revolution will not be televised.

    Why don't you start here like this guy did? A 1.6 million dollar home is pretty outrageous.

    It's a shame because he would actually make some good points and appeared to be somewhat intelligent, then he let his stupid/profane/jingoistic side get the better of him.

    oh please

    it has absolutely NOTHING to do with political stance.

    the guy who decides who gets banned is a conservative...

    guess that blows your whole liberal conspiracy theory all to hell.
