Bloggers:
That's it, I'm going to wear an Obama mask so when kids come to the house for trick-or-treating, I'm going to reach into their bags and TAKE some of their candy. When they yell about it, my wife, in a Biden mask, will tell them to shut up, it's patriotic!
"Right away these trick-or-treaters are going to be tested. Someone is going to manufacture a crisis of taking their candy from them. We may stumble, but we'll need you all to stand by us as we take all those kids' candy. And we'll need your help."
-Joe Biden on October 30th

Whatever could you mean, sir? :toofunny
I do understand what you are saying. I've had this discussion with my children. I started saying the "c" word, which is really the "s" word in Spanish. She thought I shouldn't say it. I said, "Well, what difference does it make in what language I pronounce the word? It all means the same thing - fecal matter." :toofunny

Doesn't anyone else think that the top 5% of Halloween candy gatherers should be required to redistribute at least half of their "take" to the lower 50%?
(And once we get a majority to agree with this concept, then we'll REALLY make it the top 25%, making those just under 25% not even want to strife to collect more since they know it will just be taken from them anyways....)

If the top 5% of candy gatherers are typically given 10 pieces of candy for every one that the others get for knocking at least as many doors...sure.
I come from a blue collar union family. It's amazing how companies can pay employees so little that they have to work weekends instead of go to church or take on a second job....meanwhile the CEOs make out like bandits. To make matters worse....all to often it's the little guy on the assembly line working far harder and breaking his back just to put food on his family's table.
I'm not big on welfare....but I am for a fair and living wage (something Republicans disdain). And I have little pitty on fat cats who are filthy rich and making money hand over fist on the backs of hard working Americans who work for a substandard wage.

Racist or not...probably not a good idea to make your children into political symbols right before an historic election.
But it is stupid that it's only racist if white kids do it. Obviously there are a lot of white people who are voting for Obama. Kinda' seems stupid to tell them they can't dress up like their idol.

Which brings up that ever pesky question... What IS a fair and living wage? Is it the person making a thousand dollars more a year than you? This seems to be the thinking of most die hard union members. And if someone is already making a 'fair' wage, what incentive is there to make anymore if all that happens is someone else decides you have too much and thus need to spread the wealth.
And yes, there are fat cats. There always WILL be fat cats. But there is no BETTER economic system then the free market one for keeping their numbers in check -and in fact lifting the general economic condition of ALL people in the process.

So what did you think about the children using the "C" word? That should keep you up a little longer. :toofunny

So what did you think about the children using the "C" word? That should keep you up a little longer. :toofunny
I wish I could say bad things about those children, but I must confess that I have a bad habit of saying the "c" word. I've gotten better, with practice at biting my tongue, but in moments of distress, "God bless you" or "Hallelujah, angels among us" are not the first words out of my mouth.
In fact.
One night I was teaching my Sunday school class...(Okay, you can't hold this against me, I'm a pretty good teacher, and usually a sterling example of class and godliness....:aaa ) :D
:largehalo
Um. My stories have too many details, but I feel I must fill you in.
My object lesson had to do with mud, and I don't remember the exact reason for the object lesson...but the kids were supposed to dip their hands in a big bowl of mud, and then other kids were trying not to get dirty when they held hands, and...well....
Anyway. For some idiotic reason, I wore white to class. Yes, white. A white skirt and a white sweater. *dumb* And I accidentally splashed mud on the front of my sweater, and muttered, "Oh, c***" and then moved on, without really noticing what I had said to myself.
Later in the lesson. Serious appeal to the children to allow God to change their hearts. So I said something to the effect of, "We've all done things we need God to forgive us for. I have, you have, we all need His grace." BHILL's son raised his hand and said, "You mean like that bad word you said earlier?" :blink
"Uh, yeah, just like that. Let's all ask God to forgive us for our sins--including that word I shouldn't have said." *sigh*
Altar calls are harder to give when you're guilty, too.
Little kids are hard to condemn when they probably heard their Mommy say the "C" word. :D

I'd say a fair wage is a wage that is indexed against the cost of living and the poverty level. There are elements of the free market that are very beneficial. However, unfettered the free market would eventually lead us into another Guilded Age. A balance must be reached. If people are paid too little and the rich get too extravagantly wealthy while the masses suffer....it creates the environment where Socialism begins to grow. A mixed and well regulated economy is needed to head off the negatives of both extremes.
The lie is that one has to be either a full capitalist or a full socialist. No sir. There is such a thing as a mixed economy that balances the economy to prevent the extremes of both.

I am not fond of the "c" word either.
We were always taught to not say "slang words" such as that growing up. These words are a substitute for another word. You know what that word is. You wouldn't say the word that it is a substitute for. So don't say the slang word either.
This is also what I teach my children. Not from a YOU'RE GOING TO HELL standpoint... but from the standpoint that we walk, talk and live our lives by the wisdom of our God and, in our opinion, these are things we would do well to keep from our vocabulary.
