Nice try asshole. I'm neither. I work for a living. Keyword: Work.
I don't need your lazy ass telling me how to run my affairs. Maybe if you spent more time working and improving and enjoying your own life you'd have less time to worry about what the rest of us are doing.
Typical liberal tactic.. I disagree with you? I must be a Russian or a Chinese... Come up with something original you fuckwit.
I'm not disputing that places with rent control exist. But, for now, it appears to be a city by city basis. Ah... I see my error. I said California. I meant San Diego County... We toyed with that idea down here for a while and the result was thousands of apartments disappearing almost overnight. i.e the problem was made even worse.. I suspect that if California (as a whole) tried it, the result would be the same.. There would be a delay between passage of the law and an effective date. In the interm thousands of apartments would disappear. They'd be converted to condos or they'd be razed to the ground for single family homes.
Uh.. No.. The government has no authority to decide what price you sell your home for. In fact, I'm fairly certain that if the state tried to pull that, they'd end up in Federal court, and they would lose. Please see Amendment 5 of the Constitution.
Thank you.. Honestly, it was nice to read a comment where the person "gets it". The market will sort itself out.. Government just needs to keep an eye on things to make sure nobody is doing anything illegal and the market will sort out the rest..
Are you delusional? Open up a goddamn gun magazine and look at how many places will NOT ship to CA.
There are hundreds of makes/models that are banned in this state. The only other state that even comes close is NY. (and it probably exceeds our regulations, but not by much).
CA politicians hate guns. it's more moral, to them, for the woman to lay there and get raped that have the ability to shoot the sick fuck in the face....
Liberals love victims.. It gives them ever more excuses to strip freedoms.. Fuck.. England outlawed most guns.. And then when people used knives for self defense, it outlawed those too. Legally, the ONLY item in the UK you can use for self-defense, that you can carry on your person, is a rape whistle.. Seriously.... Yeah, I suppose if you were being raped/stabbed/killed and you picked up a rock, you'd be okay.. BUT, under British law, if you carry that rock with you, for the purpose of bashing a rapist on the head IF you get raped, you are in some deep shit.
You tree-hugging fucks are so divorced from reality that it boggles the mind...
I just don't get it.... No average woman can fight off an average man if he intends her harm. (quick statistic, the average male is stronger than 99.5% of all women on planet earth. The strongest 5%-10% of males are stronger than 100% of women). So, we have the tools that will help a woman to not be a victim, but then we deny those very tools to her... I hate liberals, I hate your logic, I hate your fucked up view of the world where everyone is a victim or should be a victim.
The United States is home to over 318 million people and 2.27 billion acres of land. By 2003, we had only developed about 108 million acres, or about 4.47% of the total land area of the United States.
Please, asshole, keep telling me how we are running out of room. Yeah.. we aren't... What's happening is you liberals won't issue building permits because you want to see deer fuck in their natural habitat.. And honestly, I'm all for that.. I love open spaces.. But Jesus H. Christ.... 95% of this country is open spaces.. How about... 90%? Would that be acceptable? That would let us DOUBLE our current amount of housing..
Want to know what your property is worth? Put it on the market... Worth is determined by the market.. If you list your house at $1,000,000 and it doesn't sell... it's not worth $1M.. If you relist it at $950,000 and it sells.. Well, guess what genius? It was worth $950K.
Indeed. And the last time California even hinted that they wanted to implement rent control, thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of apartments were ripped from the market and converted into condos..
When it comes to real property, liberals are the last people in the world you want to have any power at all.
Are you on drugs? You think conservatives should be for this tax? One of the hallmarks of conservatism is respect for private property. You really don't have a clue how we think, do you?
I'm just fine with a piece of property sitting there doing nothing as long as it is kept free of dangerous amounts of trash/debris. Yeah, your property rights extend to your boundaries, but fire tends to ignore fence lines..
As long as my property isn't gonna burn down because of yours, you can do whatever the fuck you want with it,
You are a fucking communist. When I buy property, I will decide what the fuck to do with it.
If you have a problem with that, then YOU can buy the property.
This high-prices blah blah blah is all bullshit. Sure, prices are going up, but that means that people who sell are getting a great return on an investment.
Depress the prices through taxes or regulations and you FUCK OVER everyone who wants to sell their house to go live elsewhere.
People like you are such assholes. You'll fuck over the person SELLING and you'll fuck over the person buying (if they don't occupy or rent the house fast enough for your liking).
I don't know what the hell happened in this country where private home ownership became something to detest.
If you can show me any evidence that ANYONE is being forced to buy a home for a price they did not agree to, then we can talk. Until then... you can fuck off.
Why would you need a Mesh network in a barn? Is this the world's biggest barn? A decently placed access point, with a quality antenna, can provide coverage for hundreds of feet in any direction.
Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy.
That is EXACTLY how Germany was being run under Hitler. I don't give two fucks if there's some other definition out there, when it was put into practice by Hilter and Mussolini, that is how it was implemented and so THAT is the definition of fascism.
Because actions speak louder than word. If you ACT like a fucking fascist, don't get all in a tizzy when I call you one. I don't give a fuck if you've got Marx's mummified cock in your mouth, I ain't calling you a commie. You will be referred to as a fascist. Act like a commie and I'll do you the honor of calling you a Pinko.
Antifa act like Brownshirts.. The Brownshirts were the precursors to the Nazis.. The Nazi's were fascist.. That clear enough?
It's sad that we've come to this today, where men can't be men and women can't be women due to fear of litigation or worse.
That's what happens when some men act like assholes and demand sex from employees.. The Hollywood Casting Couch isn't an urban legend.. That shit used to (and still does) happen.. Well, we all heard about what a shitbag Harvey Weinstein was...and that was just a year ago?
I could tell you stories.. I have a couple of female relatives, who own businesses, who absolutely will not hire women (yes, the irony is... blatant) because of the baggage and liability that some women bring.
You mean to tell me that merely ASKING a chick lower on the totem pole than you out for a date, no pussy grabbing or anything truly physical, would be against federal law?
No. That's not what I said. I said that "unwanted" attention (of a sexual nature) is a violation of Federal Law. If she says "Yes" and hops on your dick, you're in the clear.
It's not a man/woman thing.. It's a Power thing.. If you are the Boss and you ask out an employee, is it reasonable to assume that they might feel that if they say "No" they'll suffer repercussions? It's the workplace not The Dating Game.. Plenty of other places to go fishing where there isn't a power dynamic.
It's a pendulum... First we swing too far one way and then we swing too far the other way. In the 60's you could get away with just about anything at the workplace.. Eventually people got fed up with it.. And basically we're now in a zero-tolerance era when it comes to workplace sexuality. Maybe the pendulum will swing the other way at some future date.. Who knows...
So, you're saying now, that in this day in age...you are no longer able legally in any way, to date within the company???
Geez....so, if you are a boss and you see a lady you want to date, you have to fire them first, before you can ask them out?
No. But if you ask them out and it's unwanted, you are in violation of Federal Law. So.... you better be pretty fucking sure they are gonna say "yes", 'cause if they say "no", then it was unwanted and you are gonna be busting out the ol' checkbook.
Oh, and if you fired the lady first, so that you could ask her out, you are in even deeper shit. You cannot terminate someone's employment for the purpose of pursuing a sexual relationship with them, asshole.
I call bullshit. Citation please. We're not talking about statutory rape here.
Have you never heard of a sexual harassment lawsuit? What the fuck do you think those involve? It ain't rape..
All a boss has to do is imply that a sexual act will affect your standing (positive or negative) and he/she has just opened themselves up to one whopper of a lawsuit.
But, since you apparently joined the workforce yesterday and require citation... This is from the US EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission):
It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person’s sex. Harassment can include “sexual harassment” or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.
That clear enough for you? It is unlawful (that means against the law) to request sexual favors if you are the boss. Failure to rectify situations where harassment is occurring between employees also will open the employer to lawsuit. But, generally speaking, the employee rarely ends up being the one sued. You go after the deep pockets and that's one of the reasons many employers have zero-tolerance policies regarding employee fraternization.
I made no mistake. Antifa act just like fascists. It might not be their philosophy but it certainly makes an appearance in their actions. They can call themselves communists or socialists or... fucking unicorns... But the fact remains that they act like fascists.
Antifa are opposed to democracy and self determination. They can fuck off.
It's their service, they can store what they like. Your freedom goes no further than the end of your nose, thanks to Libertarians and Tea Partyists.
You're right.. It is their service and ultimately they do get to decide.. Thankfully, in this country we have a long tradition of occasionally deciding that a company has gotten too big for its britches and needs to be broken up into smaller pieces.
Perhaps it has become that time for Facebook. How we are okay with a single company delivering large portions of news and influence to a billion people is beyond me.
Although, you can quit blaming Tea Party and Libertarians, asshole. It was your President, Bill Clinton, that deregulated the entire telecommunications industry and lifted the limits on how many radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers a single company was allowed to own.
How amazing that, almost immediately, small stations were gobbled up by mega corporations and many communities lost their locally focused news. Now we're surprised when single companies are able to influence entire elections? Couldn't have seen that coming....
People shouldn't post photos of toddlers in the bath on Facebook
Maybe not, but I'd rather we had the freedom to decide for ourselves.
People shouldn't post photos of naked children on Facebook,even if burned during a war. It's not an art or history site. It's the worst possible place to share such things. Post a link, that's fine.
Really, you should be running things. It'd be terrible if people were able to decide, for themselves, what they want to do. You should make up some posters and run for office.. Maybe as.... "Benevolent Dictator for Life". We can't have the peons thinking they have the right to decide their own actions.. even if the decisions are poorly thought out.. ORDER BEFORE FREEDOM!!
