Looks like the BDS People never thought about the grinchy corollary to the Golden Rule: Do unto others as they have done unto you.

Also known as the Leaden Rule:

The Iron Rule

In fact, on average, blue states are net contributors to the federal government, while red states are net takers from the federal government. In effect, the blue states subsidize red states allowing them to have lower state tax rates. The new tax law exacerbates the difference.

In fact, that's not true.

The analysis that was used to generate that meme was inherently flawed and dishonest.

Not a surprise that you'd reference it.

"Is not" is not much of an argument.

So you provide a link even though it's dishonest.

Comical that you have no honest retort, just a repeat your same lies.

Some things never change.

"Blue more than Red" is not much of an argument. It is simplistic - kinda like WalletHub's methodology.
Dependency: Military bases, National Parks, SS, Medicare?

Residents in high tax states like mine, California, have been able to take SALT deductions from their Federal Taxable income - essentially receiving a Federal subsidy.

Dependency?

DrTorch: So you provide a link even though it's dishonest.

Simply attacking the source is not a valid argument absent evidence showing the analysis is somehow in error.

Pretentious?Moi?: "Blue more than Red" is not much of an argument.

It's a conclusion based on evidence.

Here's another analysis reaching much the same conclusion.

Guess the Kiddiez missed this part of the article:

QUOTE:

Against a national average of $1,935 in intergovernmental spending per American, red states receive just $1,879. Blue states get considerably more, at $2,124 per resident. Purple states see the least of their money returned to them per capita, at just $1,770. Measured in this way, the blue states are getting quite a bit more than the red or purple.

Ahem.. another fail by the Kiddiez.

Here is how we turn one psychoanalytic research project into a money maker for millions. It's coming--wait for it--the new way to use this tried and true process will be writing in concrete that all people are born sexually neutral. Breaking down the barriers.

Case in point:

Why is it that young girls and young boys pursuing the dream of ice skating champion, who from early ages go through the same process of training. Practicing every morning of the week at 4:00AM at the local ice arena. Training with the same coaches, many of whom are male (just watch the guys greeting the kids getting off the ice in this weeks competition). For approximately 15 years these kids go through the same process, yet by the time they hit the spotlight 99% of the male skaters are queer. Why is that not also true of the female skaters? Could it be male grooming? Reading Taki's Magazine this morning it is clear that the situation in the UK with young boys being raped by "immigrants" and comparing it to the male figure skating team one can see clearly that "being gay" is NOT GENETIC !! Even dear Scot Hamil once clearly stated that his homosexuality had been created by his coach. He is now straight and has a family, but during the high years you can see that he is living in the homosexual world of coach and inductee.

There is a good case to be made that prenatal influence is the biggest factor.

A genetic loading seems to be part of the equation, and there may be some vague truth to the claim by man-boy pedophiles that they can "tell" who's gay - though that does remain mostly self-delusion for convenience, in the same way that man-girl pedophiles describe the girls as flirtatious.

But you are not wrong that early exposure to sex drives much of male homosexuality. I will remind you that you are not allowed to even think that.

Re: pot

The fact that something is potentially dangerous is not a reason for it to be illegal. I'll refrain from posting a long list of legal but dangerous things. Also, no mention of vaporizers or weed vaping — these seem to reduce many of the negative lung effects.

No one should go to jail for using a drug that a majority of Americans have both used and now believe should be legal.

FTA: How do we as a society benefit from legalizing marijuana?

Yep, as soon as you start intimating that the individual must subsume his pursuit of happiness for the needs of society, we're done talking. Well, except for my two-word rejoinder that I won't repeat here, but it starts with an "F" and ends with an "off".

About those Chinese amusement park rides.... I guess if you have 5 billion people, you can spare a couple dozen.

Are there food concessions in these parks?

#6 Ben David on 2018-01-08 14:48 (Reply)

I'm not buying it. That video is fake--it's a product of special effects, taking existing rides and adding those wild features. The g forces (especially on the last two rides) would cause severe injury or death were they even possible. The spindly extensions that flail the riders about, along with the unsupported aerial tracks in the next-to-last ride, would not withstand those forces--if they could be built at all.

Nice bit of moviemaking, though.
