Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

now fruit as in you planted and nurtured and harvested it... that's fruit but of your labor...

the ground however is on a lifetime rental contract that you renew annually... and it shall be sold by the rightfull owners... the people of the united states, upon its abandoning by you or abandoning thru your demise... to the highest bidder... not handed down by another worthless chunk of paper that says it now belongs to your offspring... if they want it they can bid after your death just like everybody else and actually work for their gains...

no you can't take it with you... and no you, being dead have no say in what we the real landlords (people of the united states) do with it.

But nobody is giving it to them. And you don't become a "have" by taking someone else's stuff.

That's called being a thief.
yeah tell it to the indians... my fellow thief

I was playing monopoly earlier... the rules didn't explicitly say I could not with hold food, water, medical care from the children until until they handed over their fake money so I could "win" the game.

had I done this... should the kids blame parker brothers or me??????

I mean morals and ethics aside... it strictly wouldn't be illegal... I mean there aren't any rules against it right??????

According to that logic, I can walk right into your house any time I feel like it and raid your fridge. I mean, it's just some dumb piece of paper that says it's yours.

Apples to apples please. The above is not a part of "monopoly"...just as "health care" is not a "right" in our game, explicitly or otherwise.

He earned it by making a successful computer software company. Why should he give it all up cause others didn't work hard enough to try and achieve that level of success?
bill and his anti-trust law suits are probably not your best illustration.

alexander bell... great guy made a telephone rich??? no....

set up wires all over heck and back... built lots of phones and charged for the use of them... rich hooray....

fair is fair...

little girl gets run over in the street... driver runs to the closest pay phone and screams to the operator call the police or an ambulance she is bleeding to death...

operator: please deposit 25 cents...

stupid example... because att or whomever would of course send help immediately...

actually... only by act of congress... lol they used to really want that money first...

"SEE" that line in the sand... partner... (actually its a really wide and broad line made up of millions of over-lapping little lines...

but grahmm did the telephone, why does he owe you or the dying child a phone call???

nobody knows... but most refer to the immediate need out weighs the other...

the child is valued higher than a coin earned or owed...

should you jump in front of the car to save her? some will some won't... but a life for a life is not the measure of a life for a coin.

you stop and try to help the girl and move her just so to comfort her... and she dies as a broken neck bone pierces her artery... not your fault...

you were trying to help.

the line is very broad and often a personal one... but generally only the far left and far right argue whatever is decided individually... and when the group decides it often errs towards the middle... affording the least amount of unhappiness to the agrieved...

we the people say grahmm deserves his fortune but not at the expense of the child...

we the people say people need healthcare... and if grahmm and me and you and insurance companies and hospitals and doctors and nurses all have to swollow hard to get it done... to bad... "we" have spoken.

without the we there would be no grahmm or gates or cars... the "we" rule supreme and always have though we didn't know it...

we know it now... and yet we refuse to exercise our control because we really and truly do try to respect the you, gates, grahmm health care industry... just not at the expense of the child or less fortunate.

silly example but it works in all we do... thus far...

how can your country impose a tax burden on you to benefit another ???

why'd you think we got them???? the u.s. was not formed by morally corrupt and ethically challanged individuals... they formed a country to protect us and themselves from any who become so large as to think they are better or worth more than the group.

its a back and forth thing... group over individual... but there is always that test of greater good.
