14. What conflict does Doug

iamct01 asked:

Let us ask Joe the Conservative.
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee.

The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.

With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer’s medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.

He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total
contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a conributor.

Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards.

Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s employer doesn’t want his employees to call the union.If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn’t think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. It is noon time and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe’s money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. He arrives at his boyhood home.

His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers’ Home Administration because bankers didn’t want to make rural loans. The house didn’t have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification.

He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn’t have to.

Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn’t mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.

Joe agrees: “We don’t need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I’m a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like. I have.”

vampyvampire asked:

I’m from a family of 5 kids, myself and my 4 younger siblings. My parents Do not work because my dad is off sick and my mum stays at home to help the kids since they do school at home and I quit college at 18 since I missed over 7 weeks being ill after getting glandular fever. So I missed my deadlines and even some exams. I only have AS levels which are minimal. So I’m trying to look for a job but I don’t even receive jobseekers allowance yet so I can barely travel and I don’t dare ask my parents for money. We barely have enough to live on and I was wondering If i can maybe find a course…or get work straight away so I can give them money. Even a job on minimum wage won’t do. So in what ways could i earn a lot of money? Probably getting a higher education but I had to quit anyway. It might take years but I’m willing to find a solution in the long run.
I’m scrwed. It seems skills like writing and music…basially anything artistic will never give you a good enough living yet it’s what I’m best at. I’m only 18 and it feels like i’m told old or something
can’t even type properly i’m getting frustrated I live in the uk by the way. So I cannot qualify for food stamps unfortunately. The recession here doesn’t help and there isn’t enough help for large families. Not to mention the medical system. It’s been years my dad has tried to get proper help for his depression.

Trying_Something_N asked:

Hi, I’m 25 years old and I’m getting married next summer. Currently, my Fi and I are planning our wedding and we are renting a home from a relative at a very affordable cost. I currently work as a teaching assistant in a public school and my Fi works full-time. He makes twice my income. I make very little money, especially since I hold a bachelor’s degree.

I’ve decided to go back to school to earn my master’s degree and my certification in elementary education. I’m already well aware that I will never have the luxury of being a SAHM. We live in Connecticut and our housing market and our cost of living is very expensive. We would love to be homeowners and we would need two incomes to make that possible in this area.

I could easily go about getting a job in a different field using my degree. But, I have always wanted to be a teacher and I love working with kids. In addition, teaching would allow me to be at home with my family during the summer time and in the afternoons.

But, my master’s degree is a two and half year program and I will start this fall (when I’m 26). I will be about 28/29 when I’m finished. My rational side is telling me to complete school before having a family and get pregnant. But, my biological clock is telling me I want to be a mother sooner and become pregnant after our wedding next year when I’m 27..

I’m torn! My fiance works nights; therefore, it would be impossible to take night courses. Has anyone else been in a position? What did you do?
Sorry, has anyone been in a position like this?

jeanette asked:

My mum is a single mum, 2 still live at home, one 15year old and one 17year old. She’s a nurse and her basic salary is around £32,000. She’s in a lot of debt and her wages just about covers her mortgage, bills debt etc, so for things like food, clothes, school dinners etc she has to do overtime. Quite aot of the time she has to work 60-80 hours a week working 14 and half hour shifts. As a nurse you get more money doing sundays and nights so she works every weekend and alot of nights. Bearing in mind she works in a&e so its very stressful and doesn’t always get a break

She got a letter this morning sayin she’s going to be put in the 40% bracket. Her payslip for January showed she earned just over £36,000. The bracket for 40% is £37,401- £150,000 so after this month she must only just be over this. Apart from this being appauling because theres over £112,000 difference but yet every1 gets 40% tax what can she do?

Theres going to be no point her doing loads of overtime this year as that makes her in that bracket just by a couple of grand and will jump her tax rate by double (its 20% for under 37,401). So could she inform them that this is because of overtime which she won’t be doing as much this year to get it reduced to 20% again. She phsyically can’t afford to pay 40%, stop doing overtime and then wait for a tax rebate next year, she’s really worried. Does anyone have any advice please???
I know they have to draw the line somewhere but why should someone earning £38000, even £45000 get taxed the same as someone earning over £150,000? Theres £112,000 difference in their wages!!!
*sorry earning £150,000. Not over

Carolyn asked:

Before reading, please do not judge me and please only answer if you’re going to give honest answers! I am NOT making this up, so bare with me.

I am 27, just finished my GED and was debating whether to go to college. I live at home with the folks, and have my very own bedroom- with home phone! I never have owned things like my own phone before. I find myself calling my girlfriends late at night and playing with the phone cord on one finger. Anyways…My family sat me down some time ago and said they were tired of me living at home wasting my life. I was a bit offended, but listened.

My family told me they saved up $60,000 for me to go to college, and that I should try to apply to some community schools first. I agreed, and was excited to already declare my major in front of them- business, with a concentration in finance.

I was accepted into a college, and my parents then deposited the funds into my bank account. They wanted me to be responsible for my own management, since it was my major after all.

But right before the first semester started, my best friend Besty took me on a trip to a casino (we live in Wisconsin). I sat down at a slot machine and put in $20. As I played the machine, I won! I won $100. I couldn’t believe it. I figured if it was this easy to play slots, I could earn thousands of dollars at the casino and save up to pay for an apartment. As the evening dwindled on, I sadly was losing…I lost over $2,000. Betsy understood, and told me we still had one more day. But I was out of money. Then it dawned on me- I still had the $60,000 my parents had put in my other account. And I happened to have the debit card on me. So I withdrew a quick $5,000 from the account and played on. I lost all of it. As I made my way back to the ATM, Betsy told me to stop, and that I was making a huge mistake. I told her to mind her damn business- it was MY life and I knew what I was doing.

I ended up losing $62,000 in one night on slot machines. It took me about six hours, with a dinner break inbetween at their tasty buffet. I was in shocked horror as Betsy and me returned home. I had no money left for school. I called my parents to explain what happened, and to demand $65,000- $60,000 for school, and $5,000 for a trip back to the Casino to try to make up Apartment Saving Money, but they flat-out refused! They told me I was cut off, and that I was very stupid for gambling the money. I was so mad at them calling me stupid, and for denying me the money.

Was I wrong to do this? I know gambling is addicting, but I had a system! I’m unique- I’m not like these other people who throw all their loot away. I was on a winning streak until the end. And My parents are awful to cut me off and tell me they’re done dealing with me. Thoughts?

Rickey asked:

Interesting story from a few years ago, A guy I grew up with and stayed somewhat in touch with through college turned out to be a crossdresser. I found this out when I heard he was divorced.

Being a life long friend he told me the whole story about why his wife divorced him. I’ve known him to be a decent person, he has a good job and earns serious money and he gave his wife a really nice home to live in and a comfortable life. The fact that he crossdressed was the main issue in the marriage. Things got so bad during the divorce that he had to personally tell his boss about the crossdressing because he feared his wife would call his boss. She must have threatened him with that, for him to tell his boss.

I felt bad for the guy and whatever his person tastes (being a crossdresser) didn’t make me hate him or think any less of him because I’ve known the guy for many years.

It occurred to me that as a guy I never felt I could force any of my girlfriends to do anything. I never even would pressure them to look a certain way or act a certain way. I never felt I had the right to do stuff like that because of the culture I was raised in.

Like once one of my ex’s cut her hair short I didn’t care for it, but I never said anything. Another of my ex’s got into the habit of constantly wearing sweats all the time. I wasn’t very happy with the lazy bum look, but who would I be to say anything without hurting her feelings. My last ex gf like to take the lead and make decisions & changing plans without consulting me, lol. If it made her feel good to be in so-call (charge) I just went with the flow. I just let her know on major issues she would hear from me. The truth is I really didn’t give a sh*t about many of the things she made decisions on to begin with. It made her happy, so whatever.

I hear all this stuff about women not wanting to be judged whether they’re wearing hot pants or sweat pants. If they’re career women and don’t want children or stay at home mothers. It seems women demand the freedom to look, act and be whatever and however they want.

So was this the stupidest reason for this guys wife to divorce him?
******** Grey cat 4

He told me he wasn’t gay and that he loved his wife.

He said what he liked to wear had no way made him gay.

I asked him that question too.

Heck, my ex gf use to wear my boxers if she didn’t pack a bag and landed up sleeping over my house.

I never assumed she wanted another woman.
********** CAustin II

That is funny, hahahha. Hey wait until your girl hits 40, lol.
********* Benny ********

Let’s face it. If a woman raped a 6 year old, you would have a good excuse for the woman.

No, telling his boss was just her being vindictive.
