After watching the board over the last couple days I just wanted to thank everyone for confirming my beliefs. I don't follow the label game of society it's part of the problem with this country. Conservative,liberal,democrat,republican,
straight,gay,black,white,Hispanic,poor,rich,
religious,atheist,and all the other labels society says we have to wear around our neck. As long as everyone plays the label game they will keep fighting amongst themselves. Instead of actually trying to do some good for their community and country. But pay me no attention I'm just an American construction worker with a deadbeat job and no future(as referee to in another thread). But I don't depend on gov. for healthcare,retirement,cell phone,Internet, or any other privileges life has to offer. I work for it just like generations past. And I work hard for it. And you know what it makes me feel good when I get home at night. I'm all for helping people out. But at some point people have to help themselves. It's not the federal gov. job to take care of the individual its up to the individual and the community.

    So I guess you're labeling the current generation as dependent on the government and lacking a work ethic?

    Racest? is that like Nascar? ;)

    Homophobe is less a label, and more of a description or identifier.

    YES. Just look at the people on this board. The only good government is bigger government.

    If you speak of limiting gov't, they whine about policemen and teachers and "infrastructure", as if our country would fall apart if some roadcrew got its budget trimmed.

    Gay is not a "label." Nor are "straight, black, white, Hispanic, Poor or Rich."
    But I don't depend on gov. for healthcare,retirement,cell phone,Internet, or any other privileges life has to offer.

    Sure you do. Healthcare standards in America are regulated. That's how you know that your doctor is actually a trained medical practitioner and not just some guy who bought a thermometer. Your cell phone uses technology that's regulated to make sure that you're not getting ripped off... And you work as a construction worker so those buildings must meet safety standards so they don't fall on you while you work.

    You are equating a Med student passing their boards, w/ gov't controlling 1/6 of our economy.

    $20/year for this kind of entertainment is cheap man.... :lol:

    No, I'm pointing out that everyone relies on some form of government-run assistance protections of infrastructure. Just like the crazy old man saying things like "get your government hands off my medicare" or Craig T Nelson ranting out how "I was on Welfare and food stamps and did anyone help ME?!?! NO!!"

    Some people are so self-cenetered they can't even see past their own front yards.

    Yeah... that Craig T. Nelson, boy, if we could just get rid of him we'd be fine....

    Did you just pat yourself on the back for derailing a thread so you don't have to actually... address issues?

    I wasn't derailing the thread, sorry if you thought so. I was confused as to why you were posting things like " government-run assistance protections of infrastructure" and Craig T Nelson rants in a forum about not labeling people. Then you finished by calling "some" people "self-centered", and honestly, I just forgot what the hell this was about....

    Back on topic- Labels are bad.

    The OP contains the line "It's not the federal gov. job to take care of the individual its up to the individual and the community."

    And I disagree.

    I see a label as more of how someone else sees you. I think a description is more "exactly what you are".

    And do you care to elaborate? And also explain how logistically can they take care of every individual? And also can you name one thing the federal gov. has done right in the last 100 yrs.? I'm sorry but I like to be self sustaining and take care of my family and help others out as much ad possible. I don't need big brother to tell me what's right & what's wrong. I don't rely on the federal gov. because what they give you they can also take away at any point in time with no warning.

    I've elaborated many times. Countless.

    And also explain how logistically can they take care of every individual?

    Can't save them all so... screw every last one of them? Nice philosophy. you learn that at church?

    And also can you name one thing the federal gov. has done right in the last 100 yrs.?

    Well let's see... They did build those cross-country highways that allowed for national commerce and building of a solid middle class that reigned supreme through most of the 20th century. There's one. I also kinda like that American Morale-Boosting Moon landing thing.

    And people like to dog on Al Gore when they say he claimed to invent the internet (he never said anything like that) but the truth is that without federal support, much of it from Al Gore, you and I probably wouldn't have had access to it in the way we do now.

    And like it or not, if we had no military, any other invading force would be able to just walk in and take over.

    So there's four. I know you only asked for one but I'm an over-acheiver.
    I'm sorry but I like to be self sustaining and take care of my family and help others out as much ad possible.

    Well when your house catches fire I hope you just handle it with a garden hose. I hope you don't use those highways to get to work, I hope if you're robbed at gunpoint you don't call on the police. Sure don't want you to not be "self-sustaining."
    I don't need big brother to tell me what's right & what's wrong.

    Who said anything about telling you what it right and what is wrong? Or... are you upset you're not allowed to murder someone because of that pesky "federal laws" thing we have?
    I don't rely on the federal gov. because what they give you they can also take away at any point in time with no warning.

    Sadly... you do rely on the federal government, directly and indirectly.
