Mocking The Poor


Recommended Posts

It's not exactly true that things are worse in the oil and gas industry.  

 

Things are worse in places where there is a high demand for workers, and right now in ND that happens to correlate with oil and gas.

And thank God for what is going on in ND, otherwise we would be seeing energy prices SKYROCKET!!

They do for the calorie intake.

 

And when you are hungry, that's what's important. 

 

Like i said, pretend you have a hungry child who will get to eat one meal for the next 24 hours.  Are you going to give him a double cheeseburger and fries for $5, or are you going to buy him a small bag of baby carrots?

Ooh!  The carrots!  Kids love carrots.

It has helped in some areas, that's for sure, and it's a blessing for a lot of people.  It was a blessing for my family.

 

But like everything, it's not without it's HUGE dark side as well.

LOL!!! Fox is far more balanced than the rest of the so called mainstream media.

Yes, that is what Hannity and Limbaugh say and radio entertainers are always right.

When you say "so called" are you suggesting there is a different mainstream media they are not a part of? Or did you copy that line from somewhere else without thinking through what it actually means?

What a crock!!The food in this country is brought to you by for profit private corporations.The clothing in this country is brought to you by for profit private corporations.The energy in this country is brought to you by for profit private corporations.

?

You realize they were complaining about subsidies to corporations right? Are you for the government using tax dollars to subsidize corporations or did you just start ranting without realizing what you were actually responding to?

A higher calorie intake does not translate a satiated appetite. In fact, if the calories come from sugars and/or carbohydrates they actually increase the appetite.

There has never been a case since the minimum wage was first implemented where that happened.

 

Business taxes go to pay for the services those businesses use. Are you saying that business should be able to just steal those services?

1.This is false plain and simple. If your base is 1 dollar to produce your good. And the government steps in and says you have to pay your employee 1 dollar were it was 50 cents, the cost has to be shifted to the consumer. The employer just can't eat it.

 

2.I have no idea what you are talking about. Business is private indivuals. They all pay taxes. Not one gets away from it unless the government doesn't treat every one equally. Which they don't. No one escapes payroll tax from a business.

A rightist not complaining about government subsidiziation because it is subsidizing a corporation? Hmmmmmmm.......

 

 

I have not seen this. I am willing to bet that Vance would agree with my words on government subsidation. Anyway I think I get it. He started it you are finishing it. Carry on.

Interesting because I lost 35 pounds the last few months by cutting out refined sugar, white rice, white pasta, white bread, etc.  I weighed myself every day and during the few times I had those foods as my only option, I gained.  Another day I pig out on steak with sauteed mushrooms, huge salad with bacon and my homemade vinaigrette, cheese, summer sausage, etc. and I would wake up 2 pounds lighter.  Cutting calories has never worked for me, but for some reason I can eat whatever I want if it's not those particular foods.  Dave's Killer bread is killing my wallet though!

Right you cut carbs which are high in calories. That huge steak and mushrooms has less calories than your pizza and spaghetti. One bagel has 400 calories. However if you have a 10 oz fellet of samon and some veggies  you are probably under 400 callories and you just filled your self up more than you could with the bagel.

Well Hannity may be more for Fox but Rush is not. He considers Fox part of the mainstream. For the record I don't watch any fox news.

The war in heaven was over

a.) forcing people to be good or

b.) allowing people to be good of their own free will and choice...

 

I prefer the version that a.) was actually removing all law so there was no sin, thus allowing people to do whatever they want in mortality and they would still be able to get back into heaven with Lucifer's alleged "get out of jail free card". I find it completely unbelievable that a group that wanted to be forced to be good would then turn on the ultimate good himself, God. Those who accept Satan as master today (unknowingly) tend to be the same type....not the ones who would go to the extreme of being forced to be good. Even those who see government as a way to force others to be good want it to be their 'good'....thus they wouldn't be the ones being forced, but living however they wanted.

The war was over agency and power -

(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 4:3)

3 Wherefore, because that Satan brebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;

Satan wanted power to control everyone - to take away everyone's agency, and in return promised no pain. 

(Bible Dictionary | W War in Heaven:Entry)

It was evident that if given agency, some persons would fall short of complete salvation; Lucifer and his followers wanted salvation to come automatically to all who passed through mortality, without regard to individual preference, agency, or voluntary dedication (see Isa. 14:12–20; Luke 10:18; Rev. 12:4–13; D&C 29:36–38; Moses 4:1–4).

b.) Voluntarily given, vs.

a.) given by the gov (who will throw you in jail if you don't pay up - so not voluntarily given) charity - which would you prefer to receive?  which would you prefer to give?

 

 

It is true that poverty will exist in societies. However, the problem comes with the increase of poverty due to human greed or due to an economic system that puts profit before people or due to a system that has the mechanisms for the increase of poverty. Amidst great wealth, too many people are forgotten.

Wealth is not a scarce resource though, it is not a limited entity, if I write a song & sell it for millions of dollars, I did not take anything away from anyone, I did not use up any natural resources, I did not increase poverty in any way - to the contrary, anything I buy & anything I make increases the economy and creates jobs. 

Profit before people?  Prophet = pleasing the people, making something that people want and need.   

Greed?  Prices that are set by supply and demand does not equate to greed.  When prices are artificially set (by the gov for example) contrary to the natural value of products, that's when you see bare shelves, bankrupt companies, high unemployment, and poverty.

Just because you haven't seen me complain about it doesn't me that I don't. Personally, I don't like the government subsidizing ANYTHING!!! Not even medical research or the postal service.

 

If you price them by calorie per dollar the soda and potato chips are probably the better deal.

Then they should be able to get along with LESS of it. But they don't.

You'd have to buy a large amount of carrots to live off of them and celery is almost calorie neutral.

And why do you want "calorie neutral"? We have established that they eat TOO many calories.

It takes as much or more calories to digest then the human body can extract from it.

LOL!!!

You are just spinning now.

There are actually over 500 calories in 10 oz. of salmon.  The veggies would add calories as well, but how much would depend on what kind and how much you were eating.

 

Just saying...  :D

I'm not understanding your point here.

 

This crash was caused by a grain train which derailed.  How does this have anything to do with what Vance said?

Irrelevant points are becoming common responses.

Yeah, me. Just look at me. All I eat is carbs and sugar.

He's actually right.

"The majority of energy that celery has locked within it passes through our digestive system without being processed. The cellulose calories celery has is irrelevant; all that counts is the six or so food calories we can get from each eight-inch stalk. Since it takes more than six food calories of energy to digest the celery, the net result is that digesting celery does, in fact, exhaust calories. In a very real sense, celery is a "negative calorie" food."

Ok 6 oz. Just saying though 10 oz is a lot.... and that (6 oz) would keep you feeling fuller than the bagel. I was thinking of a green beans, corn, and carrot blend. Oh well.
