I would just take this opportunity to continue doing well in school. School is far more important right now. If you don't graduate high school, you will work minimum wage your whole life. Once you finish high school, you can get a job, move into your own apartment, then whatever you want is up to you. You say you're mature enough, but that is obviously not true. You should accept the decision that your parents made. Continually pestering them only shows arrogance, the exact attitude they want to get rid of. Maybe showing humillity might work better.

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"]Are you aware of how many people you are going to have to help? There are already people who work hard for their money who are seeing their jobs cut to 28 hours a week so Obamacare can be avoided. Who cares about these people I guess. Now not only are they not going to get company insurance but now they are losing wages that help put food on the table. toast_burner

Sorry that I think hospitals are hospitals and not businesses

Hospitals are not hospitals anymore. They don't treat people like they use to. Hospitals today are a business, a business built to be a cash cow for the big pharmaceutical companies that run the show. Have you ever wondered why when you go to the doctor, the only real help they give is a scribble on a prescription pad? It's because there's enormous profit to be made in a pill that costs 5 cents to make, and sold for $100. Gone are the days that diet and exercise where considered the holy grail of medicine. Now, if they can get you hooked on a drug, you're a customer for life.

[QUOTE="JasonGriffee"] Excuse me? Why should those who worked hard not enjoy the fruits of their labors? Why should it be stolen to be handed to a lazy bum who acts as a parasite to society? Pre-socialist society was far better off. It allowed for natural selection. If you dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator, progress is guaranteed to become impossible.

Perhaps if people where forced to work for what they want (money, healthcare, etc.), they would cherish it a bit more. Then we might see people acting less entitled, less stuck in the "hand me things" mentality, and society can move forward.

Most Americans are Christians so yeah I'd kind of hope for their own beliefs that they agree losing a little money to help others is right. Wouldn't want them to think they're going to rot in hell for eternity. What even is this "pre-socialist" society? Sweden? US? Canada? None of those have ever been socialist countries. Perhaps you mean before any sort of socialist ideas were implemented in any way? When would that be? The gilded age? At any rate I find calling any period in time better off than we are now to be extremely suspect. But seriously, why are extremists always incapable of seeing anyone else as anything other than an extremist? To these people it seems like it's all one way or the other.

My objection is not to people giving charitably, that is something that should be encouraged. My objection is rather that we a FORCED into giving our money to others, which ultimately constitutes theft.

To your question about Pre-socialism, I was referring to America. Americans have been slowly re-educated into the socialistic mentality. If a politician where to propose ideas that they do today, back in the 1930's to the early 1950's, I can tell you that their political careers would be very short. The socialistic agenda has been slowly inched into society over the last 50-60 years. Do you think that we had gun control in the years after America was founded? No, of coarse not. We still cared about the Bill of Rights back then. But over the last 50-60 years, there has been a big push to put it in place. I finalize my point with this:

The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as government is perceived as working for the benefit of children, the people happily will endure almost any curtailment of liberty.Adolf Hitler

Have you noticed how when there's any kind of shooting, "protecting the children" is always yelled loud and clear? Especially with Sand Hook? Regardless of your opinion on the facts, you have to agree that Obama is just plastering these children's faces on every news conference about gun control. This is not a idea that he thought up himself. This is simply copy/paste policy from the socialists/communists that came before him.

As to your statment about "extremism", I could accuse you of the same. Why is it that a so-called "right-winged extremist" gets demonized, but left-wing radicals that are trying to comletely dominate the discussion are somehow exusable? Is our democracy not for debate? For people and the media to silence one and not the other is nothing short of proparganda in my honest opinion.

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"]America is the only place where people would literally rather burn their money than have it used to help someone else. A country that literally hates itself. Personally, if my taxes go to helping everyone else have a basic level of living, I'm fine with that. Is it the mentality where u cant be happy unless ur neighbor has less than you? People need to suffer so u can see ur achievements? is that it? I personally dont get it. Even if you are a bum, and a freeloader and a complete waste of space, I believe that if you get sick, you should be able to get help. Im willing to lose a little money off my paycheck so someone can live a day longer.whipassmt

I think most Americans agree with you about losing a little money to help someone else live.

Excuse me? Why should those who worked hard not enjoy the fruits of their labors? Why should it be stolen to be handed to a lazy bum who acts as a parasite to society?
