    You should go to a doctor and have him look at your taste receptacles because Samoas are full of awesome.

    Just happened to catch this a couple pages back and it didn't get enough love.

    Alternatively, I think having a child should be more difficult than, I don't know, getting your driver's license or obtaining the appropriate permits to put an addition on your house. There should be fees, tests, background checks, waiting periods, the whole fucking works.

    Well, you couldn't per se, but what you could do enforce existing laws and enact some new ones, for instance;

    A father not supporting his child is a form of child neglect, punishable with jail time. Now, if the guy is convicted, give him a choice of whether he wants to go to jail, or he can get snipped and walk. Same for women.

    Something needs to be done, idiocracy is happening right in front of our faces...

    America would be better off if the president was an academic/intellectual appointed by his peers, and not some politician elected by the public.

    I get what you're saying and don't necessarily disagree but Congress is the real whore in our nation's political machinery. This is true whether there's a republican or democrat in the Oval Office. Any real change in the American political apparatus will need to focus on minimizing the overwhelming impact of K Street/Capitol Hill lobbyists.

    get rid of lobbyists
    term limits on senate/house

    that'll fix problems

    the presidential election does very little, by the time they're a candidate they've already been an academic/intellectual vetted by their party. its why ted cruz won't win

    There are a few bad cops out there. That being said, I wryly smile each time I see a video of a cop that tunes up a jacknut that doesn't follow directions, whether they deserve it or not.

    I'm not going to defend it, but I still think that way. However, I wouldn't even make that post today because the morality and usefulness of the estate tax are both obvious.

    the idea of a welfare queen is a myth perpetuated by a bigoted bogeyman to make people believe that low income minorities use welfare to buy beats and jordans. never mind the fact that most welfare recipients don't live in areas where there is a quality supermarket and end up shopping for food at convenience stores or at grocers that can gouge because they're the only option in proximity

    the law is perpetuating that stereotype while doing very little else to accomplish any means

    sorry, that got lost in translation

    yes, cruz is a very smart person, but i'm talking more about the inner party vetting process that usually winnows out the "extremist" candidates and gives us the candidates that are palatable

    I never said anything about a "welfare queen", nor do I buy into that. I simply said that the law as stated, makes sense to me. If you're accepting public assistance, which is money to support yourself that is coming from other people, then there should be things you aren't allowed to buy with that. Tattoos, visits to psychics, etc belong on that list. Besides, the law still allows them to withdraw $25 a day that they could ultimately spend on those things if they so chose. I'm sure there are probably a couple things on the list that don't belong, but the majority of the items seem like total common sense.

    It's a completely rational thing to do that won't even be that big of a change to the majority of people on public assistance, and it's just gotten blown out of the water by the left as a way to make it seem like all Republicans hate poor people, the same way that Republicans take any reasonable suggestion by Obama and basically equate it to the holocaust.

    If a guy is standing on the street corner asking for money with a sign that says "need a new tattoo", are you going to give him the money or the guy on the other side that's asking for food?

    Oh, I agree completely. The public's opinion of the executive branch is hilarious to me. It goes from "everything is about to change" to "this guy hasn't done a damn thing" over the course of a few years.
