while republicans are more concerned with turning the economy around over social issues. Tell that to all the states with R legislatures passing new abortion laws.
For the record I'm for gay marriage, If two people love each other regardless of gender what's the issue there? It doesn't personally bother or offend me, and really the only people on the right that it does offend are generally bible thumpers anyway and they certainly don't speak for every republican or conservative.
No, but they speak loudly enough to put fear into most of the Rs. Personally, I more annoyed at the tax advantage to have dependents. Why should the guy sitting next to me doing the same job for the same pay, be charged fewer taxes because he decided to propagate?
I'm right with you on SS btw, it'll be long gone by the time I'm 67 and I doubt I'll ever see one red cent of what I've paid into it over the years. Yeah, my only hope is the economy doesn't collaspe within the next 10-15 years or so. Need my 401k and IRAs to grow enough to allow me to retire... |

So how does one answer to people who consistently either topic twist, or twists one's words?
...
I do however truly believe that continuing to go the route we are regardless of who's the current president, is going to be a disastrous financial nightmare. Surely you don't believe that only people on the left play word games?
I agree with that -- we've been on the road to fiscal problems for decades. The retirement of baby boomers isn't exactly a surprise. My friends and I have been trying to guess the date for SS to go under as a passtime for around 15 years or so.
Frankly, I don't think either the Rs or the Ds have said anything remotely close to common sense. The sequester nonsense pretty much proved they are all a joke. The sequester was a reduction to the increase of spending. Spending was still going up, but not as fast as had been previously planned. Both sides were calling it the end of the world as we know it. The Right saying it would be the end of the military, the Left saying it would mean the death of the poor. Funny, no one was saying that last year when we were spending less money.

| Well, for the larger ones, like the inXile ones, it's no big deal -- they have finance people who can deal with it. But the smaller ones, yeah -- somewhat problematic. |

| Ahh, the joys of home ownership. I need to get out in the yard too, but it's either been too cold or raining. High of 74 today, but it is currently raining. High tomorrow is supposed to be 47 (no, that isn't a typo). The lawn will soon be in the "really needs to be cut" stage... |

On my Lumia 920, I swipe up to unlock it. I am given with the prompt to input my pass pin, or I can just hit a button to call 911.
So if I was in a situation, and I was unconscious, and my friend with me did not have a cell phone, they could still call 911 easily on my phone, even if they do not know how to use it, they just need to know how to read. Cool. That is a well thought out feature. I don't have a pin on my phone, I'm tempted to put one on to see if this happens, but I'm sure someone will come along shortly and answer your question. |

| Either you are interested in purposely inflaming others with specific language, or you are interested in having a discussion. It isn't possible to do both simultaneously. Assuming you are actually interested in having a discussion, which is definitely open to debate at this point, it should be pretty simple to leave out the nonsense. And putting a carriage return after two sentences doesn't make it a paragraph. |

Seems like a larger than normal contingent of sci-fi movies coming out. Off the top of my head:
After Earth
Oblivion
Elysium
The Host
Pacific Rim
ST:ID
Not that I'm saying any of them will be good, just seems like more than normal. |

I think you guys are missing the point. I think they are misrepresenting the difficulty of the game, based on their own video of the game play. |

| The description doesn't seem to match the video, looks like after you initially get used to the controls you'll be lasting a lot longer than four seconds each time. The game play shown has promise, might be worth getting when they finish. |

| Yes, I watched Defiance. Care to be more explicit on why you disliked it so much? Was it great? No. But it seemed fine to me. However, I've learned over time that I seem to be more willing to suspend my disbelief and logic than most. I mean, I just try to enjoy the show, I don't try to find things wrong with it. |
