50 degrees f below your body temperature is extreme.

No it isn't, retard. In Chicago that's shorts weather.

Maine is a fabulous place. none here would make it through a night without adult supervision.

it is cold, harsh and unforgiving in the extreme.

High of 40F this Thursday. Sounds pretty hardcore, dude.

Paul must have sponsored some anti-pedophile legislation back in the day. I've never seen Shoefox get so worked up over anything else.

Who cares? So long as Obama, the media and libtards keep perpetuating the myth that NATO and the US are mutually exclusive entities, our war crimes can go on unnoticed. And the libtards who used to bitch and moan non-stop about "slaughtering civilians" will remain invisible.

Just think, two million Corkys running around spinning every single thing Obama has ever done or failed to do. Every single event in the Obama presidency was either a grand success or something he was forced into by Bush, congressional republicans, et al. He has never made any poor decisions. Ever.

The people who will get the most "help" from this are those who do not make their mortgage payments. Welcome to Obama's America.

I'd like to see BradfordWinston's opinion on this topic.

Would you support this program if it was 100 percent free of waste?

No. I think phones can be paid for out of the welfare we already give to poor people.

A better question would be "why do you lean on hypothetical and non-existent "waste-free" scenarios for your support of this program rather than denouncing it as it currently exists?"

Calling contraception a medical treatment is based on politics, not on the reality of what a medical treatment is.

Great points, NW flag.

It depends. Can I start a religion which believes --- fervently, mind you --- in not paying any taxes?

That's the point. Carried to its logical end, the "reasoning" behind this decision is flimsy.

This is a strange reason to be providing someone with an exemption. They "don't believe in" the treatment, so they don't have to pay for it. Literally, something they think in their head is sufficient reason for Obama to shift the financial burden from them to the insurance companies.

Anyone else have a problem with this?

I'm going to start a religion that doesn't believe in health insurance. Do we get an exemption from Obamacare too?

And you wouldn't support this program even if it was 100 percent free of waste.

There you go, back to fiction. Look at the program for what it is instead of pretending it's something else.

My comment already made clear that my support is conditional on whether it's properly managed to avoid scammers.

So your comment is limited to a fictional scenario that doesn't exist. Good to know.

Nobody needs to fictionalize Obama to understand why he is a failure. He spends trillions more than we take in every year, kept GITMO open, tried to extend our war in Iraq, expanded the war in Afghanistan, re-signed the Patriot Act, murdered American citizens without trial, invaded Libya without a declaration of war, killed civilians with drone attacks in Pakistan and Syria, has failed to take power away from Wall Street, signed new "free trade" agreements, etc., etc., etc., etc.

Nothing fictional about that. He's another piece of garbage in a long line of garbage Presidents.

Fuck...250 / 30...I'm out of here.

It's a bare-bones cell phone with only 8.2 minutes a day of time paid for by the government.

That's funny, since the article says it "covers up to 250 free minutes each month."

I think it's a justifiable use of government aid for the poor

That's funny, since the article says "phones go to people who don't qualify."

as long as there's a limit of one per person

That's funny, since the article says "hundreds of thousands of those who do qualify have more than one phone."

Are you that desperate to support an idea in the abstract that you are ignoring how it plays out in real life?

If run well, investments like these can pay for themselves over time in the overall economy.

I won't hold my breath waiting for the federal government to send me my money back once this "investment" has "paid for itself."

They say most of the stores' customers come from the reservation, which spans southwest South Dakota and dips into Nebraska. "You cannot sell 4.9 million 12-ounce cans of beer and wash your hands like Pontius Pilate, and say we've got nothing to do with it being smuggled"

Suing a store because it exists? Nobody forced them to walk in and buy the beer. What a bunch of fucking babies.

Jock Strap, every single one of your posts directed to me has been based on the incorrect assumption that I don't think anyone has fucked a monkey. Clear that out of your tiny brain and understand the following:

You cannot be 100% certain that someone has fucked a monkey simply because lots of people live in Africa. You can think that someone probably has, and you can be 99.9% sure. But unless you did it yourself or saw it happen, you cannot be 100% certain.

But maybe it was you who fucked a monkey, and that's why you're so sure. I can't see any other reason for you to have such a high level of certainty based on so little actual evidence.

The America you remember was brought to you by Democrats and the New Fucking Deal.

And it was destroyed by the Democrats and Republicans of today.

Look at the state of government and business in Illinois and tell me what good Democrats are doing there.

Just to be clear, I think someone probably has fucked a monkey.

I just don't go around telling people what science is, demanding "fact-based evidence," and then say that I'm "100% certain" that someone has fucked a monkey just because lots of people live in Africa.

I would bet that I could find a monkey sex video online with 10 minutes maximum

Then do it, and prove it occurred in Africa. Then I will stop criticizing you you claiming 100% certainty. As it stands, your only "evidence" is that "lots of people live in Africa." I'm guessing you realize how foolish that is, which is why you're lashing out like a little bitch.

trying to create reasonable doubt

More straw from jockstrap. I'm not here to create a reasonable doubt. It just seems like you'd need a little more than "lots of people live in Africa" to be 100% certain that they are fucking monkeys.

you got fact-raped

Your only "facts" are that "lots of people live in Africa." How that leads you to the 100% certain conclusion that they fuck monkeys is beyond me. You could use those "facts" to say that anything has happened.

Lots of people live in Africa, so I am 100% certain that one of them has eaten a case of business cards.

Lots of people live in Africa, so I Am 100% certain that one of them has fucked a snake.

The logic of JockStrap, hard at work.

do you think a person in africa fucked a monkey in the last 100 years?

"Think" is one thing. To be "100% certain" is another. You said the latter. Deal with it.
