So the guns are loaded for the shootout in November, I am the last person to restrain anyone's First Amendment's rights, I hope we all can get along to some extent for the next few months.
Got something to say?

Just remember, a vote fer the Trumpster is a vote to say do svidaniya to our constitution. Hell, Putin will make us give up KFC and apple pie too! And he'll have Russian thugs go around the country slappin' our sainted memaws an' rapin' our daughters!
So don't tell me to get along. Tell the anti-American traitors that want good patriotic memaws to be slapped and our pure-as-the-driven-snow daughters to be raped to get along!
Why do the conservadudes want that? Why?
Liz Warren is rong.
Chessmaster and zipman's blind, hateful statements are the unfortunate proof that some people are too ignorant to have meaningful debates. Even though VM and I may disagree on politics, we can agree that political debate is possible without emulating the personal and destructive attacks of the candidates. As for any of these conflicts turning into a shooting war; while the hipsters and millenials have been out catching imaginary pocket monsters, I have been at the shooting range and sharpening my Bowie knives.
And yes things are getting testy around here regarding many discussions.
Many of creditors and banks aren't very nice people. Some of them stack the odds heavily in their favor. Ideally I shouldn't do business with groups like that. So I don't get involved with credit agreements that I feel are unfair, which I avoid anymore. I've learned my lesson. Many of the drawn up credit agreements are pretty predatory at times with interest rate hikes and fees in the fine print. I hate it when they use the fine print to change the deal. I understand that was part of the agreement but it still feels like usury (to me that unfair but the world thinks it's OK).
I have no problem honoring fair agreements. I just see the odd stacked in favor of the guy on the other side of the table. I find agreements with the "little guy" to typically be more fair or quid pro quo that those that wall street or large corporations draw up. So I always honor the little guy or the individual when I can. And I have. I just gets hard to be motivated to think that way your writing (and I get it) when you work and struggle and don't ever get ahead while someone is siphoning all what little gains you have away. Technically business is business and it's fair but it sure doesn't *FEEL* fair. I just really feel like a few corporations are unfairly (IMO) siphoning money away from working people in the form of interest and fees while providing little societal value in return. "Rent seeking behavior." Yay for capitalism but only when you have capital. :(
It's sort of the saying "wolves don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep." I feel like all of you guys are the successful "wolves" of the world because I see all the success you guys have (spending $$ on strippers) all the while I feel like the prey or the sheep. I want to emulate you guys. I really do.
I just see lots of people bending the rules and getting very rich in the process so one gets into the mindset that is "the way it works."
Maybe I should try to emulate juice and budget a lifestyle on $10K/yr.
Only a moderate with both right and left leanings will ever be able to broker compromise across the aisle. Far right candidates enrage the left and far left candidates enrage the right. We've had too many years (decades) of rage across the aisle with no action or solution to the real problems facing this country (nee, this world).
America is weakened during federal pissing matches. Just look at the last 16 years. All that happens is everyone gets covered in piss.
One thing I will share with you is if you are not comfortable with a contract do not bind yourself to it. That means reading the fine print and boilerplate which is in most contracts and be sure that your understanding is the same as the person you are engaging with. That means striking items with which you do not want,or agree with that is how a negotiation works. Additionally you should not do business with any one, ever, if any time you don't feel that the terms protect you as much as the other party. Never engage in a contract with out being represented the same as the other guy (if he needs an attorney so do you). Also don't be afraid to walk if the terms don't suit your needs. Lots of guys and gals cheat on both sides of the aisle but you don't have to participate. Some times even with the best of intentions things go awry best thing to do is step back take a breath and try again.
One last and most important thing to remember if you do get snookered choose the way you get even wisely (getting into a lawsuit with a guy that has a battery of attorneys working on his behalf is foolhardy) and remember my fathers favorite saying "Time wounds all heels".
