    Thanks Obama, seriously.

    I don't know if it's legal, but if it isn't congress should pass it into law. Obama is set to expand the cap on student loan repayment. The cap will be set to 10% of income. I think this is a good idea. Anyone think this is a bad idea?

    Real reason Democrats want to raise minimum wage.

    We've all been hearing alot about increasing the minimum wage. Seattle just decided to take the lead and has decided to boost the minimum wage there to $15/hr. I'm glad they were willing to experiment and see what happens. If it's successful there, it will be a big boost to the movement. I...

    Obama now negotiates with terrorists

    We traded four or five Gitmo detainees for one American solder who has been held in Afghanistan. Ok, that gives you some warm fuzzy feelings. But hasn't US policy been for ever that we won't negotiate with terrorists? Why the sudden turn around?

    What are your political deal breakers?

    So I see a lot of talk by mostly left leaning people here that take issue with many of the libertarian leaning Republicans. I understand why a liberal person would have an aversion towards Republicans. Nothing turns me off more about Republicans than their social conservatism based on the...

    Why did the AIDS movie I just watched on HBO exclusively involve gay men?

    apologies to the board...

    I had an experience today that changed my life. I was talking to a family. They were a mixed family. Wife was black, husband was chinese, and i dont know what the fuck the kids were. Anyway, they were really nice. But that woman and I had an in depth conversation. Eventually it turned to...

    Russia kicks US off of ISS

    Because we sent a community organizer to the White House, where he has to interact with others, America just got kicked out of the international space station. The community organizer in chief defunded our space program, made us dependent on russia, and then pissed them off. How fail is this?

    Science has proven God exists...

    So can I see it? That is a phrase I've heard a lot lately. I think it is in the trailer for the movie "God is Real" where the college professor makes his class do something that is against the religion of a Christian student. While I am aware of a lot of hazing that goes on towards Christians...

    Would you support a law...

    That required that an online database be established listing the names, addresses, and number of guns a person owns? Every gun they owned had to be listed. Owning a gun, of any kind (except bb and air) had to be listed.

    Where is the line, for you?

    I remember watching the news coverage that seemed to drone on and on after 9/11 with my dad. I remember it as days or weeks of pretty much the same thing. My dad told me, the world, or at least America will never be the same. Over twelve years later, he is looking pretty wise with that...

    Scottish independence?

    What possible benefit could that be to them? I've read a few pro independence articles and can't get a good concise rational. Any British subjects want to chime in?

    Were we better off before universal suffrage?

    And I'm not talking about minorities or women. When this country was founded it had a radical idea, all free white men over the age of 25 that owned property could vote. Sounds oppressive today, but it really was earth shattering in the 18th century. Would we not be better off to move...

    Anyone like to watch Vice?

    I love that show. The guys doing the show are pretty left I think, but the show is very fair in my opinion and I think they do a great job of presenting both sides of an issue. Fuck the dude even went and did a meeting with one of the leaders of the Taliban in Pakistan. Literally risking his...

    The worlds best leaders

    Fortune compiled a list of the worlds best leaders. Pope Francis was first, and German Chancelor Merkel was number two. Probably would have been my two picks had I given it thought prior to reading theirs. What was interesting to me is Obama was not on the list, with his lead from...

    Gay wedding cakes and the bigots who won't bake them.

    I've been hearing on the radio lately, I think from a talk show host named Mark Levine, often lamenting how new laws might force religious people to do things like make a wedding cake for a homosexual couple preparing for marriage. This has been delived as an attempt to say the religious...

    Ukraine

    So tell me, what do you think is going on? Will the people get their way and follow the lead of the west? Or will Russia win and resurect their empire? Other? Not a lot being said about this in the media.

    Actual redistribution of wealth

    I was watching bill maher tonight, oddly enough my favorite politically orientated television show, and he had an interesting point at the end. According to the figures he showed on his show, average spending per child in the united states (spending on all programs for children, education...
