Well in your case you should sue whatever university you got hoodwinked into paying [even though it was the Moody Bible Institute]. They let you down horribly. Poor soul.

Excessive government spending will do nothing but dig us into even deeper debt. Those of us who are intelligent enough to realize it should not have to pay for the follies supported by those who are too drawn in by Obama's charismatic nature to actually see the truth.

I'm starting to like the idea of secession more and more.

Texas was #35 on the list in 2005. I couldn't find more recent data.

#35 meaning 35th highest (or 15th lowest) amount of federal money provided to the state in comparison to revenue generated from the state. Less than $1 spent on TX for each $1 received from TX.

California was #43...yes. So I agree I got that wrong, but saying TX is even close to the top is very, very ignorant. We pay more than we receive, or at least we did 4 years ago.

Is your book report on Orwell this week? Please be sure to read every chapter & stop using Cliff Notes for a change. How can you expect to pass your English class this year by always cheating on your homework [otherwise you won't ever make it in that trade school you have been dreaming about when your grow up].

You know what's ironic? Calling everyone else a child makes YOU seem childish and immature yourself.

It's so petty. Let's get back to thoughtful, respectful conversation. We're all adults here.

That unfortunately is what it is like trying to deal with Republicans. Child-like & impulsive individuals who need incredible amounts of patience & elementary step by step explanations. Most Democrats frankly get weary having to spoon-feed the simple minds that frequent this forum, I'm afraid. Oh, what we must do to help our nation!

There you go again - you cannot hold a reasonable debate so you fall into the personal insults AGAIN.

Take my advice: You would be much better off if you simply did not respond - especially with your childish insults
