9 Out Of 10 Americans Are Completely Wrong About This Mind-Blowing Fact:

http://www.utrend.tv/v/9-out-of-10-ameri...wing-fact/
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

I feel like I'm playing a very minor role in someone else's nirvana. Think I'll go back to my fantasies and get out the old guillotine.

What is this shit.....socialist propaganda, those people earned their money by working hard. Maybe if you were not so lazy and entitled. Entitled generation…we worked hard for our stuff….work through school, we made the internet….entitle entitled. Besides with the 1% who would create the jobs? You do not see middle class creating jobs? Go read Atlas Shrugged and then comeback and talk to me.

I've known about this wealth ratio for many years.

The history of the world is a dictatorship.
America is no different.







We are all slaves in one way or another. The only thing that will return us to equals is utter destruction of everything we've ever created.

Anyone remember "Trickle down economics"? Nice idea but went the wrong way - money trickled up, and then flowed up and then stormed up.

But hey - its gotta be better than a National Health Service, right?

Or just a really really big revolution. Or would that just be the same thing?
