Who pays their salaries, the federal government, or the state?

The funny thing is that it is always people like him (or her) who get bent out of shape when I say that government is just a Mafia family with official letterhead.

I don't think that matters much. In fairness today's workforce may or may not be state fund educated, tomorrow won't be.

But back to what matters, public school education hardly makes anyone what they are in the workforce.

My daughter is 2, knows her abc's and 123's an hasn't attended school yet.

She is also bi-lingual. So she speaks, knows numbers an her alphabet. Pretty much all school offers you once you leave the 12th grade.

There was no disrespect to the vice president at all! the man totally disagree with their policies and refuse to help them in any way shape or form to publicize their crazy agenda i would have done the same!

Let me share something with you
I HEARD his words I do not need it to be told to me
I also hear his words trying like hell to say he didn't
if you choose to be blinded by this son of a bitc*
then you have that right
but do not insult me by thinking telling me the sky is really green when I can plainly see it is not!
Go peddle your bull crap to some one else

The funny part was when the owner of the pork chop tent told the secret service to go to hell and that Obama could stand in line like everyone else. As a result, they did not lose a dime with Obama's vist. Incidentally, a secret service guy DID stand in line and gave it to the anointed one.
Um, so a business that donates to keep fellow citizens from having a right that THEY HAVE isn't bullying? Gay people have EVERY RIGHT to get married and anobody who thinks otherwise is a BIGOT. If you are FOR HETEROSEXUAL marriage but are against GAY marriage, then YES you are a bigot. since in this country the laws are to apply to EVERYBODY EQUALLY. this means that either EVERYBODY can get married or NOBODY CAN. Are you saying being against the ku klux klan is bullying? conservatives and their circular arguments. Being against bigotry is NOT BIGOTRY. and we are NOT FOOLED by your circular argument.

Tolerance has to do with tolerating people for traits that they have that they didn't choose like skin color, sexual orientation, gender. it has NOTHING to do with TOLERATING EVERYTHING. if that is the case why not be tolerant of the views of the klan or the nazis?

if you're a muslim i tolerate your right to have fast and celebrate etc. UNLESS it started to affect MY LIFE.

GAY MARRIAGE only affects the lives of GAY PEOPLE.

Any STRAIGHT person that thinks that THEY should get a SAY in a GAY PERSON"S LIFE who has NO CHOICE but to be gay, is called a BULLY.

as a gay person, if i can't get married that just makes my life harder and hurts my family emotionally and financially. NOT being able to get married doesn't make me NOT GAY.

in other words, STOP TRYING TO CAUSE PAIN and SUFFERING to strangers because they have an unchosen trait that you don't like, and then claim that you don't hate gay people.

Um, if you think he said that and you actually LISTENED to it, than you need to see a mental health counselor, for either being delusional or lying. i swear to God people like you suck, who don't care about truth just 'politics' . everything's a game to you.

I think what he's doing is trying to tell you the sky's blue because YOU think it's green, which means you have issues. so i don't want to hear any smack out of you, since you just BLATANTLY LIED it means you can't be trusted and are not to be respected. you just lied to everyone's face here on citydata.
