Why do you want people to thrown in the streets so much? What do you have against people that struggle and the organizations that assist them? Why? Because of the "ten cents" you pay in taxes, a fraction of one penny could possibly help them? These feelings come "from" a place deep inside. You should just quit pussyfooting around and get to your "real" feelings instead of tip-toeing around the fringes. It's dishonest.

You're damn right my feelings come from deep inside. It's called self survival. I'll help anyone who is willing to help himself, but I don't like the government telling me who to lend a hand to. What I do is charity. What you want is socialism. I'm a capitalist, you're a communist.

Is that clear enough for you?
I don't think that's quite what vision was getting at, but sometimes it's better to just not look under a rock to see what's there.

There's another one of Dakota's posts that have nothing to do with reality. Why don't you STFU?

If raw insults is the best you can do you need to take a serious break from reading this side of the forum.
So says the big dog!

Who put you in charge, Howard?

I learned how to read when I was 5, Rgr.

By friendly, we mean just that. Please, no name calling in jest or otherwise.

Why is it hard for you to behave respectfully towards others?
How can you possibly be any sort of a model for your kid when you think people should communicate by screaming "STFU" at each-other?

You are a repulsive human being, swampy. How do you get off calling people a communist?

Well, if you support a government that wants to take _my_ money and give it to someone else, I can't call you a capitalist so the opposite is a communist. That's what communists do. Nationalize the banks, take over private enterprise, control everything, share _my_ wealth.

swampy, that is some of the most screwed up "logic" I have ever read.

Communism's got that little "no personal property" thingie.
You're talking about socialism, swampy. Normally you seem to understand a distinction like this-- what's up?

BLACK..."Got a better source, swampy? I'm sure you're big enough to admit that this one's not credible, as it's based on information from "Consumer Rights League" and treating it as a solid source."

I've posted 2 sources. That the sources do not meet your stringent requirements for credibility, I suggest you google your own. There's plenty of source material out there. I even managed to find a 990 tax form filing for an ACORN group in Louisiana.

I don't understand why there are so many here that don't want anyone to even question the possibility of ACORN's graft and corruption. What is so sacred about ACORN? Do you deny that the FBI is investigating their financial records for malfeasance?

[Dennis S]

ACORN is probably about number 2,376 on the list of things that need to be investigated.

I do not like ACORN at all. I have seen their work on a couple of issues and really dislike their tactics. But I also believe that if you are going to hang someone, hang him for a crime he has actually committed. ACORN is not guilty of the things the Republicons keep screaming about.
