insulting shows your? style...you are the best!

Its their fault if they aren't looking into these? issues and staying on top of their politicians. No matter how busy, citizens have to pay attention to the issues and their politicians if its supposed to work.

your an idiot?

Inequality is not something you deserve. I wish? your reasoning would more openminded. If you and I follow and like these videos and discussions, that doesn't mean that we deserve something more than a poor guy that has grown in unfortunate conditions since his birth. Too easy your flawed reasoning.

@davorunner, That would depend on the weight of the anchor, and the size if the boat. Elaboration: A 60lb boat, tied to a 6 Ton? anchor with a rope that gives it just enough room to bobble and float, is destined to sink if not released or Reequipped with a longer rope when the Preverbal Tide rises.
By: davorunner. on 04 Dec 11, 11:35:48
I agree, but wouldn't? the anchor just rise with the boat? Assuming it isn't hooked on to anything, I mean. You CAN drive a boat with the anchor just dangling, and not touching the bottom, after all.

As long as videos like these only have 253 views, Americans deserve? any severity of inequality.

Great discussion.? Thanks.

It's strange how a guy named SMITH asked his question using mechanics? as an example.

The second question by the young man in the audience was a good one. However, the problem is, in "Civilized Society", "Civilized" Man, has found that there is no Profit in Morality, and the appearance of Morality in business should? only be used as a tool to increase profits. Not to operate a business. This sad fact is why so many go hungry and homeless. Sad but true...

The reason welfare to work moved people up the ladder to a "platform", was because those specific people were TRAINED. Not EDUCATED. People who want to be EDUCATED should have the opportunity to be EDUCATED. Most species of mammals can be TRAINED. To include Humans. However, TRAINED mammals to include some Humans (MAY) lack the ability to teach that TRAINING to subsequent generations. Returning the subsequent generation back to? the state the TRAINED generation was elevated from by TRAINING.

I get so tired of the analogy of "A Rising tides raise all boats". Because? it's not true. The reality of the analogy is that Rising tides can only raise boats that are able to rise, or be risen. Elaboration: Boats that are Well tide/shackled to large enough anchors THAT DO NOT have enough rope to Rise with the tide, will ultimately SINK into the abyss, once the water tops the sides of the boats. So, keeping some boats well anchored, with short ropes, assures (THEIR) sinking once the tide rises..

The problem is the "growing" concept, we need to work on? the "development" concept.
