Welcome to America

Is that your defense or your offense? Your ego gets in the way every time you get in a conversation.

I agree with the words you type regarding the ego maniacs. I don’t agree that you are serious about civil conversation and you prove my point with every post. I could be wrong but I think you see life as a game of winners and losers and you need to be a winner to have value. But I think you know that life is both winning and losing so you need a distraction from reality. You need people like Donald Trump to validate you. You need Fox News to validate you. What you don’t yet realize (and many people don’t) is that there is value in awareness of imperfection. We lose a game. It will make us better because we will work hard to correct mistakes. Unless your ego is on steroids then you blame, deny, disrespect, antagonize, retaliate…react with negative emotion. You seem to get that but you allow your ego to weaken you. Listen we all have ego so it is not a sin but don’t let it control you. I am not the enemy. There is no left or right winners or losers. You will never have enough information to know who I am so focus on who you are. We have this one life. Don’t waste it on people who tell you what you want to hear and think you are an idiot who can’t think for yourself. We type words on a computer. Does not really mean much. Arguing for the hell of it seems wasteful of time. Time is not in our favor. Work at being a better human because that is the only legacy that matters…

As usual you have missed the point, its wrong to punish fiscally responsible people for others. Sort of like our fair tax system.

I love listening to people like biden talk about changing the tax system he has governed over for more then 5 decades but now he knows the way

Only you know the way right

Kind of like charging me a fee so people can have insurance through Citizens.

Mput, been a long time, funny thing I noticed while I got of this site for a while was when there was no one posting an opposing view point (like me) you guys all turn on each other. That is me being honest with myself

We can disagree and still appreciate and respect another’s opinion. Try it.

A lot of gaps in this article, doesn't seem made up at all

Please provide something to back up your statement.
Are republicans going twist this tragedy like they did to the ten year old Ohio rape victim?

That is you being you. Not sure why you believe you are being honest with yourself. Democracy is hard work. Listening, learning and compromising. It is inefficient and not terribly useful in business. You might think the efficiency of concentrated power is what you want but history and reality has revealed otherwise. Governing a Country is not a business. Never has been and never will. Checks and balances on power is vitally important to all our freedom. Concentrated wealth is not an important goal in life. Sharing and caring must be a part of our society. Donald Trump/Ron DeSantis have revealed who they are and wealth and power seems to be their only goals. You can argue that anyone who runs for political office wants power. I can argue that there is a real difference between Biden and Trump/DeSantis in terms of Democracy. I think if you are honest with yourself you would focus on you being the best you can be. I hope your words in this forum is just your ego out of control and not really who you want to be. For me this forum provides a mirror and you can choose to look at it or not...

F*ck yeah poppa, first sign of a spine, I like it

Do I need to say it again and again and again...there is no spine in a super ego. I know you like the idea of having a "spine" but you will find it with the back breaking work of finding out that you are just another human who is less than what you thought a human is supposed to be. Please don't list all your human accomplishments because the only truth that has value is how you treat other humans. Be civil. Be social. Be better. It is back breaking work and you will need a spine trust me

Another assessment. Somehow the State allowed insurance companies not to have enough resources to cover claims.

Florida orders new emergency assessment fee on home insurance policies

The state of Florida is ordering a new fee attached to nearly everyone's home insurance policy.

What I've seen for 10+ years on this forum is right wingers show up ready to fight and a huge chip on their shoulder, ready to own a lib. Almost every single one has been a dick.

And yes, of course, there are dicks on the left who challenge every right winger who arrives because time and time again they arrive with the same tired, callous, aggressive attitude. The arrogance of both sides is mostly suffocating.
