    ― Thomas Sowell, Barbarians inside the Gates and Other Controversial Essays.
    Good Poor, Bad Poor. NY Times, November 19, 2013.Timothy Egan (selected).

    "The House, has passed a measure to eliminate food aid for four million Americans. At the same time, Congress has let unemployment expires for 1.3 million people. These actions have nothing to with bringing federal spending into line, and everything to do with a view that poor people are morally inferior".

    Steve Sutherland, Republican Representative (Florida): The explosion of food stamps in this country is not just a fiscal issue for me. This is a defining moral issue of our time.

    Rand Paul, Republican Senator (Kentucky): It would be a disservice to extend unemployment assistance to those who have been out of work for some time. It encourages them to sit at home and do nothing.

    James Inhofe, Republican Senator (Oklahoma): People who capable of fully working are buying things like beer.

    Jackson, fearless wealthy BA businessman: Well, you know what he said under his breath.

    "No doubt, poor people drink too much beer, watch television, and have bad morals. But so do rich people. Republican representative of Florida, Trey Radal recently pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine. The median income of new members of the current congress is exactly $1 million more than the typical American household. The baseline benefit under the old food stamp program works out to $1.40 a meal, and the average emergency unemployment check work out to be $300 a week. Meanwhile, a wealthy Montana farmer was getting nearly $300,000 in federal subsidies. So one person deserves a handout, the other does not.

    Why? People are poor because they are WEAK. When a million Irish died during the Great Famine of the 1850s, many of the English aristocracy said that the peasants deserved to starve because their families were too big and indolent. The baronet overseeing food relief felt that the famine was God's judgement."

    "And making out the poor to be lazy, or dependent, or stupid, does not make them less poor. It only make the person saying such a thing feel superior.".

    Perhaps during the next State of the Union Address if someone blew up the capital building, as in Tom Clancy's novel "Debt of Honor", it would be a good start. The only loss would be some really historic architecture. Perhaps we could get some folks elected from both sides of the isle that work for living and can really do something other than morph into career politicians!

    Who cares who shot the shooter?

    But, he killed himself, the deputy didn't shoot him.

    Yes he shot himself, most of the time they do when confronted by guys with guns. The point is an armed person was the reason the shooter didn't kill more people, and the new Colorado gun laws had no effect on stopping or preventing this shooting. In this case there is no doubt he planned to kill more. From your USA Today link “A student who killed himself in a violent attack at a Colorado school had apparently intended much more carnage..."

    Gun free zones attract these guys like dollars attract hookers, it crazy not to have armed guards in public places like schools.

    Once again good guys with guns prove more effective than laws.

    Something I wanted to say myself.

    I wanted to write it, but Ben Carson beat me to it.

    Washington Times, December 17,2013. To Counter Coarseness, Choose Civility (selected).

    "The key to civility is thinking of others first. Civility and honesty are highly desirable traits. Those of us who can still recognizes imperfections in everyone, including ourselves, must not give up on decency, values, and godly principles of loving one's neighbor and developing one's God-given talents to the utmost. This has nothing to do with political parties, but has everything to do with the future of our nation".

    "Other than Bernie Madoff and a few notable others, not many of these individuals suffered any consequences for their part in the near destruction of our economy and the shattering of the dreams of millions of Americans".

    Another nail right on the forehead of those who have the mantra that Greed is Good (quite a few on AP). Carson maintains that there is nothing wrong with wealth itself when it is a natural product of creativity and industriousness.

    "It is unreasonable to expect a civil and compassionate society from a culture that tolerates and often even encourages cruel and dishonest behavior from its leading commentators and leaders. Blinded by their ideology, they are incapable of seeing things from the view of others".

    Hell, I've only been to Buenos Aires three times in my life, and never brought anything to anyone, except for a case of of the clap I gave one of the escorts. I figured since you get to this forum by clicking on the "Argentina" link in www.isg.info, it's reasonable to post about politics here. Actually, I thought it was important, since certain of the members posting in this thread, like Esten, truly need enlightenment from people like you and me. However, he has a point. I think in the future you should confine all your posts to ISG's separate "Cebu" web site, since that's where you live. No poaching on the ISG main board or AP. Just kidding.

    Hilda!

    That old Female Dog is working the bathroom at Hippo where she belongs!

    Unstable Female!

    Tried to kick my old girlfriend Out of Hippo one night!

    Now that's a funny story!

    A good way to flip this worthless thread around!

    So I take "M" to Hippo one night and she gets up on the pole by the stage and starts to strip, one of her fantasies that she had fulfilled at Jackson's the previous week but I guess the fantasy was still flowing.

    Anyway, I pulled out 300 "5" peso bills and let it "Rain" on her all over the stage, Texas Style! The 300 loose 5 peso bills were for the Chicas but I could not resist the photo opp!

    55 fucking Hippo Putas were huddled around the dance floor and staring at "M" with their hands on their hips so "M" picked up the "Rain Drops" and walked over and handed the worthless stack of "Toilet Paper" to them.

    It was priceless!

    The idiot manager that is not the one that is in my pocket walked over to "M" and made her run in to the bathroom where Hilda Reigns.

    "M" started crying about what the Putas did to her on the dance floor and Broom Hilda freaked out and blamed me!

    What a scene!

    It got worse after!

    This has to be more interesting than Politics!

    TL.

    I find it interesting you singled me out, even though I suspect I been to BA more recently than WT 69 or Blackshirt, and what about Tatu Hei the guys got six post and five of them are in this thread. I don't have a problem with that, but not a word from you about any of them, Oh but wait those guys are all on the left, now I get it. Your desperation is showing.

    I haven't been to BA recently because of the economic situation there but that doesn't mean I've lost interest or that I won't go back in the future. You know I've been to BA more times than you've got fingers to count with, and yes I've post about many of my experiences there. The fact that you lack longevity on the forum and haven't bothered to RTFF is not my problem, you see Esten I was a member of Jacksons forum before it even became Argentina Private.

    Not only have I post about my experience I also post photos back when we had a photo section and a private photo section, how many photos have you post?

    So you've been to the AP House well so have I, and I was at the original mansion in Vicente Lopez, as a matter a fact I've been to several Monger meetings around town and Thanksgiving dinners at the mansion and El Alamo. I even did the Heimlich maneuver on a choking member of this forum one night at El Yugo. (not bragging, he was choking, I had the training and I was happy to help).

    I've personally taken new members around the BA mongering scene and shown them the ropes.

    I've also supported the members of this forum as much as possible. I have taken some of the guys that live in BA everything from peanut butter to Xbox. I also supported businesses of members of this forum when I could, such as meals at El Alamo and l'Alliance and I attended Super Bowl parties at l'Alliance. I also used the services of Anna Luna and Roxanna, did you even know they were forum members? I have also rented apartments from members of this forum.

    Would you dare to compare the number of members of this forum that we each know personally? Not likely.

    Not only have I given back to the forum and its members I tried to give a little back to Argentina as well, I went along on several trips out to the provinces taking supplies, money and Christmas presents to several Comedores for kids, and yes I contributed both time and money. Would you like to see photos?

    I suspect your experience in BA pales in comparison to mine, but go ahead and tell us again just how you've "certainly contributed" to the forum, and who you've helped and how.

    Esten you've been labeled a liar more times and by more forum members than anybody I can remember on this forum, ever!
    Now your self serving attempt to discredit me is transparent and pathetic. So why don't you leave the moderating to Jackson.

    Sorry for getting off topic guys, I don't like writing about myself but in this case I think it was necessary.

    I remember when Jax once told me at the AP House (in a friendly manner), "Just remember what the purpose of the board is".

    LOL !

    Pope Francis and the Singapore Riots.

    Bangkok Post, December 15,2013 (selected).

    "An estimated 400 workers went on a rampage on Dec. 6 in a district known as Little India, injuring 39 people including police officers, and destroying 25 vehicles. The riot--the first in more than 40 years in the country-- erupted after an Indian man was killed by a bus. Singapore has a population of 5.4 million but only 3.64 million are citizens and permanent residents".

    This came about only about 10 days after Pope Francis made these following statements. Washington Post, November 26,2013. By Aaron Blake.

    "Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and discarded. We have created a disposal culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression but something new. Exclusion ultimately has to do with what it means to be a part of the society in which we live; those excluded are no longer society's underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised--they are no longer even a part of it. The excluded are not the exploited, but the outcast, the leftovers".

    He then went on to say, "When a society--whether local, national or global--is willing to leave a part of itself on the fringes, no political programmes or resources spent on law enforcement or surveillance systems can indefinitely guarantee tranquility".

    Take heed. Oh, and you don't have to go on about how the Catholic Church is the greatest exploiter of them all. We already know that. We can learn from the past, but history is being invented every day.

    Mitch McConnell's debate

    It was supposed to be a three day event.

    But on CSPAN I saw about 10 people in the room.

    What happened to the rest of the Republicans?

    Some of you Repubs Blow Hearts should have helped him out.

    Why weren't you there?

    Positions and Merits

    Imagine how constructive this debate could be if one looked at the merits of each others argument instead of wasting time with repetitive character assassination. Common ground & common sense makes history.

    Imagine talking about a political concept in a thoughtful way, without labels or parties, just asserting common sense. Perhaps were all closer than we think.
