mnealtx 0 #176 March 4, 2008 QuoteOh very funny. How many criminals report thefts of their illegal guns? Enquiring minds want to know. Well, you seem to think that the same criminals are going into gunshops and passing the Brady checks to purchase guns (your incessant drone of "lax gun laws"), so who am I to argue with such a learned individual? Perhaps the next time you're asked that type of question, you'll simply be honest and admit you don't have the information instead of trying to twist the post around to set up one of your favored quasi-strawmen arguments.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

All the whining about the unfairness of the tax system is coming from you and your buddies. (Whine) why should I support people who REFUSE to work (whine) ...welfare queens (whine) the government is robbing me of my money (whine) income tax is unconstitutional (whine) it's my capital at risk... etc etc....

PS I can't seem to find where you posted any actual data about welfare cheaters (as opposed to anecdotes). Please will you provide the link....

PS I can't seem to find where you posted any actual data about welfare cheaters (as opposed to anecdotes). Please will you provide the link. Yes, I am, sorry - first you whined about the source of the info about who pays what in regards to taxes - when I originally posted it a while or so back I clearly stated that the info was from the IRS. Again, professor? Haven't I answered this about 4 times for you? If you're trying to allude that my experience in regards to living among and talking to those who were knowingly cheating the welfare system is invalid, then so is YOUR anecdotal experience of how "safe" Chicago's streets are. If you want to find out how many people are cheating the welfare system, perhaps you should start your search where the money is disbursed from and see if they have the information - seeing as I already know that it happens, I'm disinterested in doing your homework for you.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

mnealtx 0 #188 March 5, 2008 Incorrect, good sir - I *do* care, I just realize that as long as we have professional politicians, there is too much political hay to be made by pandering to the welfare subset for it to ever be fixed.

Evidence != prejudice, Professor. In point of fact, I have written my representative about this several times. Of course, given that it (until recently) was Chuck Gonzales, they most likely went straight to the round file.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
