well, if you said prior to 1900 (as we are doing in the case here, but 1945) you would be correct.

it wasnt 80K civilians first of all, a large number of them were working towards supporting the war effort.

If someone hit detroit in the 40s and took out GM, would you say they took out civies? no they were building the machines of war!

which can and does happen. thanks for backing my point

only government employees have that restriction

That comment is kinda sexist

but there is nothing in there that you cannot find on your own already. there really isnt any new information here. it would be like telling me i cant write a book on snowden because of secrets...except for the secrets are already out there

war is ugly

when people try and censor stuff that is already public. We see it here, we see it with snowden (im not talking classified stuff) but if this person got the information without looking at classified materials, who do they think they are to tell him to not publish?

really? I thought you took more to lose weight!

ahh yes, Somalia, the land of the free, strawman of the liberals.

20K kids in america die in poverty ever day??? Citation??? because if that were true id like to think that the media (at LEAST MSNBC) would be all over it

salary caps are a new thing in the scheme of things and somehow i knew someone would come in and bring them up but none of that matters because the point I was responding to was one on equal outcomes, not equal opportunity

bush tax cuts expired, if he continued them, they are now his. Funny how that works

equal opportunities means that no one is barred for doing X. whether one can afford to do X is another story completely

By trying to equalize outcomes you do a couple things. You teach a portion of the public that they dont have to do anything because the government will take care of them. this is bad because the cycle gets worse not better

You should not be punishing people who do right, which is what happens why you try and equalize outcomes

Lets take sports for example, I would never want to see equal outcomes in sports, it would kill the game. patriots won the superbowl last year? well, we cant let them win again until all the other teams get a win, because, you know fairness. Plain and simple that is wrong on so many levels

heh, somehow i missed seatle when reading it the first time, which would have been the clear giveaway. Thanks AC

the governments role should be to

ensure that the people who belong to this country are safe

ensure everyone has equal opportunities (not equal outcomes)
