Federal employees already have great salaries. It's nice to see Trump budgeting our money. I give him A+ for the week. REALLY?? you think that government workers make so much money that SUPER WEALTHY BILLIONAIRES need financial help more than they do?? so,tell us... just how much money do you think that civil servants make?? and,what is the cost of living in the areas where they live? [like in the washington D.C. area?] surely you wouldn't mind enlightening us on these facts,since you act like you know everything well enough to justify helping super wealthy billionaires,and not them?? [and,PLEASE,show your work!!! we need FACTS to back 'your opinion' up with,cuz as we all know,'your opinion' isn't always as 'factual,as it needs to be!] |

Well you want to piss off your boss. Disrupt business ..you get let go. Others in the industry ( and it is a industry) see what you did and they don't want you doing it while they are paying you. So you don't get hired Nothing new with that..business 101 My advice to him: Buy a Popeye's franchise before all your money is gone..which will be soon ..because either you owe one or in a year or so you will be working the drive thru window at one He'd done..out of the game too long and tainted..by his own doing Hope your personal protest was worth the unemployment, Colin You da man !! Lol not buying it. This man was not the only one to 'disrupt business'. how many of the others were cut out? I dont think the NFL any longer deserves Colin. I just want him to win the suit to send the message that certain types of retaliation against people's livelihoods for exercising free expression wont be tolerated. |

And then there are the mole people that live in hollow Earth that are far more advanced than us surface dwellers. And lets not forget about how when Atlantis sank its inhabitants learned to breathe underwater and became merefolk. Plus there are Nazi's living on the Moon and are plotting an attack on us poor Earthlings. Not to stress that aliens and UFOs are really travelers from a future Earth coming back in time to collect specimens because their genetic code is corrupted and cows are extinct. And lets see...every thing ever written is a true accounting because nobody would write or draw anything from imagination and legends and lore is always based in fact. Okay, got it. It tells the story of a group of Nazi Germans who, having been defeated in 1945, fled to the Moon, where they built a space fleet to return in 2018 and conquer Earth. See also: Rocket Ship Galileo, Robert A. Heinlein's 1947 novel in which Nazis establish a secret base on the Moon. It must be a true fact because two historical accountings align. |

There's a lot of people that don't fully understand what NASA is for. Space exploration is an infant endeavor. NASA is the test bed and in any test bed things fail. People expect cutting edge technology to work like a ball. Balls do what balls do, you can count on a ball being and acting like a ball. If I spend money on a ball, I get a ball. Cutting edge science and technology doesn't always do what its supposed to do. To get to the 'ball' stage, there's a lot of trail and error and trial and error costs tax money and lives of the test pilots. However, to get it to be a 'ball' all the kinks have to be worked out and the place to work out those kinks is in space and getting to the "test chamber" is expensive. SO, people say cut the spending of NASA because they are not doing anything of importance. The thing is, even the failures show us things we need to learn to get to the 'ball' stage. Its a species collective learning task. One nation can't do it all, all by themselves. I believe we, as a species, should pool our resources and work together to make space expansion a reliable ball. That means USA, Russia, China, Europe and every other country that is investing in the technology should combine and become one. Nobody 'owns' space. Nobody 'owns' planets. |

Three quotes that kind of sum up Trump for me (and what he thinks of his base): " I said, 'Wrong, Justin, you do.' I didn't even know. ... I had no idea. I just said, 'You're wrong.' You know why? Because we're so stupid. …" "And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything." "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters." logic doesn't penetrate that kind of insanely blind loyalty. lol ... Im not talking things people say about the POTUS, frankly I dont recall hearing anyone call Obama a Messiah, but I cant say that NO ONE Ever did, because people say all sorts of things about other people. But Im talking about the things the POTUS says about himself and his base. you're really going there? okay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFqCJfUKlls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhsSzIS84ks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps0GUGe6owk |

the government won't tell us about aliens untill they land on the white house lawn...maybe not even then What is the point of that kind of thinking? What could the gov't have to gain from such a secret and how much work would it require to maintain that secret? It makes no sense at all. If aliens did come to this planet, many people world-wide would know it. It would be all over the media and the words on everyone's lips. The gov't doesn't control people with telescopes. Why anyone would think that aliens, which traveled here from vast distances, would secretly seek out only government officials when they land. Plus, who says they even need to land at all? We have satellites that can look at people from orbit. I'm sure an alien that travels between the stars will have something just a lil bit better. The unknown scares the hell out of people. The whole UFO/Alien phenomenon is a fear based reaction to the unknown. |

John McCain, from someone who knew him: In all the time I knew John McCain, he never complained. He was not one for self-pity or agonizing over regrets. I never heard him talk with bitterness about his five years as a prisoner of war. I never heard him complain about the physical pain and lack of mobility he endured every day of his life after that. I never heard him complain about losing two presidential elections. I never heard him complain about his cancer diagnosis. So many times through the years, I called to wish John well on some holiday, and he would answer his old flip phone in some far-flung part of the world where he was visiting our troops. There was so little to brief him on. He knew what was happening in Cuba and Nicaragua and Venezuela. He knew the names of the leaders fighting for democracy, and he knew the names of the despots and dictators. John gave a damn about the people of the world. He understood a more democratic world meant a safer America. John was not a perfect man. He'd be embarrassed to be spoken about that way. He made mistakes. He had regrets. He erred in judgment at times. But John McCain was a good and decent man with a huge capacity to lead. . He was grateful for the opportunities life gave him. John was a happy man. He did not dwell on losses or the bad things that had happened to him. http://www.cnn.com/2018/08/26/opinions/john-mccain-country-first-navarro/index.html From his friend. And I personally, having observed the way he carried himself and spoke of the issues we face, hope we find many others of his integrity and character (and experience) to be leaders of this country. |

Mass shootings are terrible no matter what ethnic group the murderers belong too. Smh I agree with you!!! I think it says an AWFUL LOT about the character of any human being who would try to turn a tragedy like this into an opportunity to make racist comments!!! check out some other threads sometimes, that character is not so uncommon or unacceptable, depending on who is being focused on. I realize that,'character' is a matter of perspective. psychologically,though,behavior like that hints at a person who suffers from a GREAT INSECURITY,and also,a lack of intelligence,and compassion,and would be thought of as a severe character flaw by most people who are considered to be 'decent' people by most modern societies. there will ALWAYS be people whose 'character' does not live up to the requirements that modern society deems proper,but,luckily,those people are in the minority,and most of them do not have the courage to act like that,or say things like that in public,where they will have to own those behaviors,and face ostracization from anyone who does not share their antisocial behavior. just look at the 'white pride' rally that they tried to have to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the tragic event that happened in charlottesville.... the public opinion of outrage at that sort of behavior was so strong that only about 20 people had the courage to publically stand up and publically claim those views,and face being ostracized by modern,polite society,while the people protesting them numbered in the hundreds,and even thousands! so,while,in some circles/places,there might be people who think that sort of behavior is acceptable,LUCKILY,most people think that it is unacceptable in this day and age to think/act like that,and it is only mainly in places where the people who have those antisocial views can remain anonymous,and don't have to publically own them,and suffer for having them,such as on the internet,that behavior like that is practiced,and has the freedom from public outrage that allows that type of behavior to flourish. why is it that YOU ASSUME that my comments are ONLY focused on white racism when I was only talking about how 'racism' is an antisocial behavior that modern society is ostracizing people that practice it? I guess it all goes back to that old saying... "when you throw a rock into a pack of dogs,the one that yelps is the one that just got hit!",huh? [that is what psychologists would call "a Freudian slip" on your part!!] |
