Politically speaking, why would anybody purchase eyeglasses from a major chain?
Such as a lenscrafters, Sears, Wal-Mart or Pearl vision for example.
I mean jeezus christ you are paying way too much at those places. I just got 3 new pair online for less than half the price you'd pay for one pair retail. High quality polycarbonate lenses, stainless steel stylish frames, sunglasses with my scrip that are polarized etc.
9 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWhy are so many liberals willfully ignorant of the brutal violence levied by their administrations?
I was driving behind some liberal douchebag with a bunch of "impeach Bush" and "send Bush/Cheney to prison" bumper stickers on their car and at first I was like right on those war criminals do deserve to be locked in a government cage like animals for the rest of their lives but then I noticed an "obama/Biden" sticker right on top of the others and it just made me sick at the cognitive dissonance. At least conservative hawks don't pretend to be anti-war.
How in the hell do you people justify the regimes of Clinton and Obama considering they were littered with invasion after invasion and murder after murder and a host of covert actions for absolutely no reason whatsoever short of fattening the wallets of their defense contractor benefactors. And let's not pretend that those administrations also did not undermine the bill of rights every chance they got not to mention the fact that virtually every prominent democrat voted for the authority for the Bush jr wars and routinely continue to vote to keep funding them. Face it you are warmongering neocons it's no wonder that Bill Kristol approves of O-bomb-as foreign policy.
12 AnswersPolitics9 years agoDidn't we already establish that Newt Gingrich is a complete scumbag and should not be allowed anywhere near a?
position of power?
How is it possible that this corrupt and portly would be dictator is actually once again gaining support?
Don't republicans realize that he is completely unelectable?
7 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWhere did they find tonight's debate audience who yell "boo" to peace and the golden rule?
It sounded like a bunch of ignorant redneck, tobacco juice stained morons drunk on AM radio and Fox news who can't discern cause and effect, and couldn't find Afghanistan on a map if their life depended on it.
Who do they think is going to have to pay for this continued foreign adventurism and who's children are going to wind up dead or permanently screwed up as a result of the government's lies?
"Lets mind our own business for a change and take care of our urgent problems at home"..."Booo"
"Let's kill them all and piss on their corpses"..... "Yea....USA! USA!"
2 AnswersPolitics9 years agoPeople of politics: I am just 7 points away from reaching the illustrious level 7, how to celebrate?
(Well I was just 7 points away before I asked this question anyway)
So far I am celebrating by scraping resin from my pipe and drinking a tall cup of strong coffee.
It only took me just over a year and a half of grinding away on my keyboard with over 90 percent of my total answers in the politics section. I laughed, I cried, I learned, and I occasionally said some things that could be construed as hateful but my hate was rarely directed towards my fellow users, most of whom I have nothing but the utmost respect for.
Happy new year everybody.
21 AnswersPolitics9 years agoNow Mitt Romney claims that the Iraq war was a mistake?
Huh?
Didn't he spend the past 8 years telling people who were against invading Iraq from day one (due to lack of evidence for wmd's and the unintended consequences that would surely arise) that they were naive? And didn't he claim that those who advocated pulling out asap were irresponsible?
10 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWhy do some questions not post to the main board despite not being deleted?
Is this a glitch? I have tried to post a question a couple of times but it wont post for others to see.
6 AnswersPolitics9 years agoCons, why do you insist Iran will immediately nuke Israel if they ever got the technology when?
the American enterprise institute, the weekly standard and even Netanyahu admit that there is no threat of that taking place?
Can you guys even keep your lies straight?
2 AnswersPolitics9 years agoShould Ron Paul bend Rand Paul over his knee and spank some sense into him for his inexusable vote?
to sanction Iran? I never trusted Rand Paul he is FAR too cozy with conservatives and appears to lack any discernable principles regarding liberty. Just another douchebag politician.
The vote was 100-0 in the senate. It's sad when Obama of all people becomes the voice of peace on this matter.
2 AnswersPolitics9 years agoPolitically speaking, what do you think about people who don't care about music all that much?
I have noticed that most people seem to take a great deal of pride in the type of music and the particular artists they listen to for some reason and even base their identity on this sort of thing even if they are not musicians themselves.
These types even look askance at those like myself who like music okay but could survive just fine for months on end without ever intentionally listening to music. It's not for lack of access to music that I am indifferent to it because I can play a couple of instruments fairly well, can read music and understand music theory and history, both of my parents are musicians,and my mom even owns a music store. I just don't think about it very often.
Why is music important?

5 AnswersPolls & Surveys9 years agoInstead of pardoning a stupid bird this thanksgiving shouldn't the president pardon all the non-violent drug?

7 AnswersPolitics10 years agoHerman Cain said that he wouln't enter a war that he wouldn't be willing to send his own kids to?
Herman Cain supported both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, yet his kids remain bankers working in the United States. Pretty strange huh? I wonder if as prez he'd send them into a war with Iran that he and his self declared favorite foreign policy advisor John "bonkers" Bolton has threatened to wage.
10 AnswersPolitics10 years agoWhy did Rick Perry say that foreign aid starts at zero but made it clear that Israel will get theirs?
Doesn't that sort of contradict itself? How does he know that the "negotiations" will be favorable to America to make the welfare payment justified?
It's pretty remarkable how politicians of both parties with very few exceptions *cough* (ron paul) fall all over themselves to assure that poor little perpetually victimized Israel, who by the way has 300 nukes and are perfectly capable of taking care of their own defense, will always have access to the American taxpayers generosity.
7 AnswersPolitics10 years agoWHy is Ron Paul the only guy in tonights debate that thinks atheists have the right to exist and can be?
worthwhile people? The rest of the people on stage made it seem like they are under some sort of widespread religious persecution and that their personal faiths somehow entitle them to legislate on that basis.
I know Paul is personally a religious man but he has the understanding that that aspect of life is best kept in the private sphere. He said this in a church in Iowa in front of a crowd of mostly social conservatives.
12 AnswersPolitics10 years agoWhy does Santorum think that liberty means obeying "objective" moral law?
He literally said that in tonights debate. I shudder to think of all the things Santorum believes are objectively wrong.
I thought liberty had something to do with freedom and choice as long as you don't harm others and I thought the law was a social construct. His vision seems more like a arbitrarily restrictive theocracy than a free society to me.
15 AnswersPolitics10 years agoCan conservatives admit that the historical legacy of property acquisition has not been based on market forces?
but rather often the product of state land grants, eminent domain and enclosure movements enforced by the power of the state to the benefit of the politically connected.
Should property norms (the societally agreed basis for what constitutes legitimate property acquisition) not also be subject to the free market?
Must property norms be necessarily universal or is there room for multiple manifestations to coexist and is there any way to objectively define the parameters of legitimacy?
2 AnswersPolitics10 years agoIs there a bigger waste of money than a fish tank?
What's the appeal? All they do is swim around in circles and $hit in the tank.
You can just put an aquarium screen saver on your computer and avoid the hassle and smell of the real thing.
5 AnswersFish10 years agoAm I missing something or are all of the popular comedies such as The Hangover...?
anything associated with Adam Sandler or Seth Rogan and the like just all completely unfunny?
Are people suffering from some sort of mass delusion?
There is no way that anybody honestly thought that Pineapple Express or Grandma's Boy was funny.
