Disciplining Europe? What? Discipline them for what? Doing something about immigration? What? What is wrong with immigration? Immigration is a growth engine. No immigration and you're sunk. Our high standards of living are based on immigration. Firing Comey? What? It's all about me types? What are you talking about? Comey was the head of the FBI. The FBI generally has nothing to do with the president. The FBI is apparently aware of a criminal president, but otherwise they would seldom interact. I'm sorry, I can't play your game.acnjusa said:el doc - wtf do i know but it appears to me that you are focusing on trumps negatives. which is easy to do.

On one level I agree with youKento said:No hatred.BillyOcean said:your hatred for the common man is sad
Perhaps you feel more in common with aristocracies that have suppressed commoners throughout history
No doubt the English aristocrats thought all Americans were dumb drunk bumpkins
I'd say it's closer to them suppressing themselves. The jobs won't come to you - you have to get them. Companies aren't coming to the sticks. You can't just be a slacker and expect to have everything fall in your lap.
Globalization is a fact and it's not going away. It's been easy for all of America to be complacent but the reality is that people in other nations are hungrier and are catching up if not surpassing the US. Surfdog has made a great point many times about the demographics of who is filling up STEM programs, especially in grad school.
That's self contradictory.manbearpig said:Diversity at its premise is a more equal playing field. So if there's an issue with that then the dominant group will suffer when diversity is promoted. Historically white people have been in more prominent positions economically. Continuing that trend is anfi progress and a step backward. Better our economy by hiring competent people based on their skill set should always be the first priority.
