I don't like it when people put "I'm only here for the forums" in their profiles.

The point I was trying to make is we have people who are able to work here that don't. And many of these people who come to this country are considered second class, and some are even treated like slaves. Also the long term ramifications for allowing these people into the country could be detrimental to them and the country if things are not carefully thought thru before we rush into things. Maybe it has become that people of the United States have gotten so greedy, and feel so entitled that they need others to do their work for them? I also say the best way to make money is have somebody else do it for you, so there must be a balance to make everybody feel they are doing their part. It just seems like the work force is getting closer to acting like a Socialist Country where people know they are only going to make what they are going to make so they don't care about quality or quality of what they do.

I have finally been able to put Marks idea into a plan. We go somewhere (maybe Africa?), grab a bunch of people and bring them back. We feed them, give them shelter, and white man sits on their butts and watches them while they work. This sounds like a revolutionary idea, what could possibly go wrong? Now all we need is a huge field filled with cotton, good work Mark.

And BTW everybody, happy Columbus day!

Hang on, hold your horses! So are you trying to tell me that Pluto isn't really a planet? Or are you talking about Mickey Mouses dog?

So Mark complains about "wage inflation"? Have you forgot about the Democrats wanting to raise minimum wage to $15 an hour? And anyone with common sense said just let it happen on its own because in the long run poor people will be even worse off then they are now, and it will bring down much of the middle class too.

Seems to be a concern about the interest rates and housing market too. Well that depends on where your money is, and what you want to do with it. Interest rates were way too low for much too long, that artificially inflated house prices, we are much over due for a housing correction. Interest rates are still half of what they were in 1982. The biggest problem is people were spoiled by low fuel prices during the pandemic, which lead to lower prices on goods because the cost of manufacturing, and shipping was cheaper. Then the government threw all kinds of "free" money all over the place. Now people are use to a certain standard and they are putting their groceries on credit cards to feed their families, and it won't take long for those interest rates to catch up to them.

I don't blame Democrats for all things that are happening, the Republicans also had a big hand in handing out free money and keeping interest rates way too low. But instead of trying to control things Biden decided to waste trillions of more dollars, shut down US energy production, and hand out more freebies.

So what is wrong with a boarder wall to control people coming into the country? I guess I need Mark to lay out how these people are going to come to this country? And how many people we are talking about? Because the system currently in place is not working.

Does anybody understand how Mexico got to the position it's in? Mexico was keeping pace with the US back in the 50's and 60's. But then a socialist government took over, forced some businesses to be nationalized, they ran those companies into the ground but continued to dump money into them until the Peso was worth nothing. Seems like the path the US will be heading down unless some major changes are made.

If we just let everyone, and anyone into the country things will quickly snowball out of control. The health care system is already broke, our schools are a mess, and if you think the rich are going to pay for all the handouts you are sadly wrong. The rich will always make money off the poor, and the more they give the poor the richer the rich become.

You answered your own question, if you would have read beyond the first sentence perhaps you would have figured a thing or two out? Of all these people you seem so willing to get into the country, how many do you think are hard workers? How many do you think are just freeloaders? And what happens when they retire but have paid little to no money to Social Security? They also need housing, food, infrastructure. So how many of these people can we add before the system is worse off instead of better off? We have already shipped much of our manufacturing over seas and even some other fields are being done over seas now. The problem is the United States has become filled with low paying service jobs because Americans have become lazy, greedy, and feel entitled. What happens when the economy starts to head in the other direction and people get laid off? Are we going to send these people back to where they came from? Are we going to give them government handouts? I know people like you think we can continue to just print money to make everybody happy, but that's why we are in the mess we are in the first place. Handouts for the Corona virus was one of the stupidest things they could have done. The amount of greed that created, the amount of entitlement, the amount of debt that is impossible to pay off. I have no problem with letting some people come into the country legally, many that do come have a drive and a dream to make their life better. They start their own businesses and work there butts off to keep it going. But on the other hand you have many coming to the land of the free for free food, free housing, free healthcare. The freeloaders. If we would go back to natural selection and let nature take it's coarse about 30% of the population would die because they would be too dumb or lazy to figure out they had to actually work to feed and shelter themselves. Be careful what you wish for,because it doesn't always work out the way you envision it. We may end up as a third world country sooner then many think and then we will be the ones seeking other countries to work in and feed us?

The only DOPE I'm smoking is you. Really shows your intelligence with all your come backs, can't wait til you come up with some more. I'm sure you will be a prime mate for some fat retarded woman you find, I can read profiles too.🤣

Instead of importing people to work how about we get some of the lazy people we have here to actually work. Yes, many people here have jobs, but how many actually WORK? People want to show up when they want, and do what they want, and they want top dollar just to show up. They feel like they are entitled, that people owe them just for existing. I have long had a saying "fire half the people and double production". The people whom actually work are so busy fixing the F'ups of the other morons that are just in the way. Pay people for what they accomplish, not for how many hours they stand around. Quit giving handouts to freeloaders, if you can't afford food you can get a loaf of bread and a bag of rice, if you don't like it go out and earn your own money. Tap into the prisons, there are many able bodied people who could be working there. For the most part College is a joke, any valuable information could be learned in a much shorter time, or on the job. Instead of having people waste 4+ years of their working life going to class 4 hours a day they could be doing much more productive things and learning while they do it. People basically freeload off society til they are 18, or 22 if the go to college. They then work til around 65 when they retire, so if they live to be 100 they only spend half their life working, and the rest of the time freeloading off others. It's not about getting more people, it's about working smarter, using technology, and using the resources we already have.

So first off does this time machine go back in history as well as into the future? Maybe you should take your time machine back in history and change some things?

Second off I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of things that were never seen in a "VISION" ahead of time in history.

Third off, but far from finally. When you say "GREAT MEN AND WOMEN" I believe that is for others to determine and not yourself, and there doesn't seem like there is any thing "GREAT" about yourself.

If the libs are meteorologist they are not very good at it. All the models showed it would hit Tampa or north until the day before. Ian took the same path that hurricane Charley took 17 years ago and that was also forecast to hit Tampa. That did $17billion in damages, but with population growth and inflation they believe Ian will do about $50billion in damage, doesn't seem like that is major climate as much as poor planning. The insurance business is a disaster in Florida, they can build buildings to withstand cat 4 and cat 5 storms, it's the water that does most of the damage. One county had space for 40,000 evacuees and only 4,000 showed up. Cry wolf too many times and people fail to listen.

On a note of open borders, a Pinellas county Florida sheriff was run over and killed by a frontend loader on a road construction site. It was driven by an illegal from Honduras who took off, handed his helmet and jacket to another illegal and hid in the woods til they tracked him down. Apparently even in DeSantis's state they let illegals work on the roads, is this because Americans are too lazy to work? Or the contractors are hiring cheap labor without the government checking up on it?

Fuel prices are shooting back up, I assume this is because of the hurricane, they had been dropping as they usually do after Labor day. I assume Biden will have all the answers to this like buying more oil from the middle east even thou we have plenty here. If climate change and inflation are such big factors why would anyone trying to fight these things think lower fuel prices are a good thing? When people can't afford to buy gas and groceries then prices (inflation) will go down. People will drive less or buy more fuel efficient cars. Only thing I can think is there is an election coming and they will do whatever it takes to buy some votes.

I said its filled with old people and rif-raf, didn't say everybody there was. My parents have been snow birds there for close to 20 yrs ( old people) And my daughter and her BF just moved there 2 1/2 weeks ago, I was down there for the 1st week helping them fix their place up which is probably going to get wiped out it the hurricane. Driving in near Gainesville it started to rain, 5 cars were in the ditch in 5 miles, how is that even possible? Even in bad blizzards I seldom see that many cars in the ditch. They make about half as much money down there, and people move at a different pace. I'm not sure what people see in the ocean, it's either too hot, or too windy, and it smells. But to each their own. I will just keep paying my insurance and taxes so that every time the people of Florida get wiped out by a hurricane they can rebuild and get wiped out again. So I may be visiting Florida again real soon Bart, but there is also a chance I never step foot in that state again. Any way I hope everybody has made smart decisions on what to do, and where to go.

It's a big swamp filled with old people and rif-raf. By "great weather" are you referring to 90° and humid with scattered showers? Or the occasional hurricane? Maybe this is a sign the state needs a good cleaning? Have you done the "Florida man" challenge?🤣

It's much easier to blame Floyd's death on a few hard working officers then to face up the fact that there is an opioid epidemic. And now they won't even lock up people for buying or using drugs, in some cases they even give them places they can shoot up along with fresh needles. Hopefully Bidens new drug negotiations will make it easier for everybody to get addicted to opioids while making drug companies billions in profit just like the covid "vaccine" gimmick is doing.

This is what the world is coming to, handing out participation awards for losers. I would be all for paying off student loans for those whom are fiscally responsible. If you have never missed a payment or had a deferment you should get $20k, if you had one or the other give them $10k. But to give money to deadbeats that don't pay their debts, or were too dumb or lazy to understand how a loan worked or that you needed to get a real job to pay for that education, that is just teaching them they don't have to try. As far as some people's worries of adding to the inflation, I don't see that being an issue because of the number of POS's that haven't made a single payment thru the entire pandemic even while getting stimulus money. This isn't really going to free up money for these people because they have been irresponsibly spending all their lives. Sad when the people who already got free money get $20k on top of what they already got. Now colleges are encouraging students to apply for food stamps and rent assistance. Nobody respects "free" money, it just leads to them wanting more "free" money.

"Trillion-dollar" is the first red flag, do you think poor people are going to pay for any of this? How is spending a trillion dollars "good"?

"will-have-massive-impacts-on-small-towns-across-america" Yes, like a meteor would have a massive impact and wipe the small towns out. But don't worry we will just let in more illegal aliens to drive down the wages and take whatever jobs are still available in these small towns.

"Inflation Reduction bill"? Oh and let's throw in some climate change with that? Its moronic that they try to reduce gas prices while raising interest rates, it's counter active. And then to say you are trying to change the climate while getting lower gas prices? None of any of this makes sense. Here is a real kicker thrown into the Inflation reduction bill, they set limits on how much drug companies can raise the price of drugs, so the drug companies just stop making those drugs and when they come up with new drugs and put a super high price on them. These things that are meant to help does more harm then good.

The Democrats think they can buy votes by handing out "free money", but anybody with common sense (and a little work ethic) can easily see that this is just taking money out of their pockets. When they pull a barrel of oil out of the ground they don't shove $120 back down the hole to pay for it, somebody is making money off that. This "Robin Hood" theory of taking money from the rich to give to the poor is false hope. Rich people are much smarter then poor people, that's why they are rich, taking this extra money poor people get is like taking candy from a baby, it doesn't take much talent. The problem is much of this money they are handing out to the poor is coming from the working class, they are getting screwed from both ends.

Can we get some Mingle NFTs too?

Maybe you should try OnlyFans, or Pornhub instead of Mingle2?

I think some may have misunderstood the question? It says what is the best "PART" of a woman. I would say any "PART" she lets me enter is a good "PART"! 🤪

I really have no idea what anybody is talking about these "coins", but I will say there are far too many people complaining about this "free" web site. I suppose they figure why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? How much is premium service? Like $6 a month? If everybody had to pay that many of the scammers would go away, and if you can't afford $6 a month you probably shouldn't be looking for a date, or you should go out and get a job and make better use of your free time. Nothing is keeping you here so if POF or another site gives you what you need you are not trapped here. There is no such thing as a "free lunch", I'd really like to help you out, which way did you come in?

It's like Chuck E Cheese, you can use your coins to earn tickets that you can turn in for useless prizes.

If a woman is so jealous and insecure about a little flirting the relationship probably isn't going to last anyway. And it goes both ways, women dress up to impress other women and some guys are glad to show them off, while others are not amused by this. At the end of the day it's not about who flirts with who, but more about who goes home with who. Just because you flirt with somebody doesn't mean you are going to have sex with them.
