    Governments should not be created as the means of providing anything other than protection of ones safety while pursuing their needs and wants.
    Basically, that boils down to, if there are no jobs available where you are that will provide the means necessary to support the life you want to live, you might have to move elsewhere to fulfill your dreams.

    As a Jew I pay 10% of all my money to Jewish charities. The Law is the Law.

    PS. Sabbath just ended.

    Being from Russia, I know that the Vikings are remembered as heroes.

    They did not want to work, but they were fierce warriors.

    First rulers of Russia were Vikings.

    Now Swedes are much more peaceful.

    Yes, the Vikings called themselves the Russ or Roos, which translated to "people who row." From ruling Dublin to conquering Russia (which is named after them), to settling Iceland & Greenland, and reaching the New World, they stretched pretty far for a tiny country.

    Vikings were heroes of lore. They were men of war.

    But they did expropriate property and capture people.

    While there is some romance in the idea of rowing hundreds of miles and then fighting the indigent people and stealing their women and property, basically they were kind of like Ghengis Khan. These "men of war" mostly just raped and slaughtered civilians and looted their possessions. By today's standards (which we seem to use to judge all people in the past, quite unfairly) they were barbaric savages.

    £4000 to pay the orthodontist would be nice.

    Unfortunately or fortunately I am not a politician. But I believe every Human has positive rights

    -- food
    -- shelter
    -- medical care

    The State has a right to tax citizens.

    I have decided work sucks. Where can I find my new house, and where do I pick up my free food? I really don't feel like going into a clinic, so please send a doc out on a house call for my annual checkup.

    I voted "free other". I will always choose "free honesty" over everything else. A little bit of honesty can't hurt nobody.

    Yes. And you believe the state should force people to provide you the means to exercise them.
    Why do you hate freedom?

    Honesty is already free. It is dishonesty that can be costly. And you don't want that to be free. ;)

    It's free but everyone avoids it. Maybe we should make it paid, cost highly, and then reverse again.

    That's purely contextual there is many times when being dishonest is the correct choice.

    For example if the wife says does my bum look big in this?

    Or is that girl more attractive than me?

    A man quickly learns how to lie, natural selection weeds out the honest.

    The letter of resignation for a republican member of Congress or a member of this administration. One a day would do this country a world of good in just a couple of months.

    You're going to be seriously pissed when Kavanaugh gets voted in tomorrow and then the Dem's lose both midterms and 2020 election.

    I will however be laughing as I do every day when I think about 2016 ;)

    LOL. Good point. Although if all men were honest, wouldn't natural selection weed out women who ask questions the really don't want the answer to? ;)
