• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Really?? That comment is so not well thought out (stupid?) that I won't comment on it any further. "Snowflakes don't know when to quit", sooo accurate. Getting a grip on real life seems to also be rather difficult.

Well the government puts restrictions on how many wives you can have, but it doesn't stop those fine outstanding citizens that live in Utah. ​

The "gubmint" didn't put limits on anything - the people did - through their representatives in Congress or through state or local gubmints.

You should read up on our gubmint. Find out where the laws come from.

My point is, law breakers don't abide by restrictions no matter the subject matter is.

Well.....duh! That's why they call them "lawbreakers".

In our area you can always find the less fortunate setting up with their signs at street corners/stop signs/stop lights asking for your support. I'm sure you must have the same in your area. Are you doing your part to redistribute? What is the dollar cutoff point for ample income?

How did we go from healthcare to the well-to-do and redistribution of their ample income? On second thought, maybe the OP was not really about healthcare, and more about the generosity of others, and we actually took it off track.:dontknow:

there was a less fortunate who ask for money last night at a nyc subway and when he said no the bum beat him up
and smashed his phone. I guess this is the less fortunate we should help.

I'm looking at my 1040A, and I don't see it.:dontknow: I do see on line 48A where it asks how much you want refunded to you from your over payment. Is that what you're talking about?

Ron, you must of over looked it.

There is clearly a box dedicated to the resistance where they can pay the extra money. I included the photo below and pointed to it with a red arrow. :thumbup:

It seems to me you have not grasped the fundamental difference between the two sides of our society. On the one side are those who unequivocally and unapologetically espouse the credo that, "It's every man for himself!" On the other side is the belief and attitude that, "We are all in this together!" The challenge that today's American society refuses to rationally discuss is where is the most effective balance point between the two. The opinions shared on this forum from both sides clearly demonstrate that.

Pete,
I get bugged, when folks think that it's okay to take what I've worked for my entire adult life; and "redistribute" it to folks who have never worked a day in theirs...
My Missus and I do donate to the causes that we feel are worthy:
1.Wounded Warriors

I guess that's about it... :dontknow:
 
Let's talk about redistribution of wealth.........

I am a strong believer in "a hand up, not a hand out" and I help through my church and several charities as I am able. A good start to helping out is called a "tithe". 10% of one's income. It would be an interesting study of how many politically conservative versus politically liberals actually give at least a tithe to those who need it.

Let's NOT. Start your own thread if that's what you want to discuss.nojoke

But, if you insist on going down this path, you will regret it. I have no use for religious hypocrites, particularly the pious ones. Incidentally, Jesus had no use for them either. Are you ready for this?

Bob, tithing is a religious concept. Some churches do good work in the local community, and others don't. The act of tithing in itself means little in the way of sharing one's blessings with those in need, so much as obeying the church's dictums. Look at the mega-churches, with their millionaire pastors and lavish lifestyles...

I just think that bringing religion into this discussion tends to obfuscate the issue of personal responsibility toward others, which is what this thread was originally about.
