I did not have much conversation with any of my neighbors until that incident with her. I wasn't forced to say anything to anyone. Our building is such that we use different elevators even though our apts are next to each other.
I'd have to make 2 elevator trips to go to her unit and she would do the same.

Now, the white woman who lives above us is a total bitch who won't even say hi to us.

You'd get to stand the majority of your commute while I have to walk across two big lawns to my neighbors?

In my grandma's complex, we walk past three breezeways up a hill to see people.

Lead editorial for Murdoch's NYPost today:

Doesn't shit like this look really bad to independents? Any time a media outlet reports republicans angry that Christie isn't basically throwing Obama under the bus and playing politics with the storm it kind of makes their party look beyond childish.

Do you guys think the left would go this damned crazy if a local governor commended a republican president on his good work with something specific? I don't think so. I mean we'd be worried, sure... but angry? Nah...

 

[Bowdz]

We'll see. I'm still confident of a Carmona win here. We're GOTV very strong, lots of contacts yesterday & today. No one can say we're not trying.

I sincerely wish you guys the best of luck with continued GOTV. Carmona has such an incredibly impressive resume that it seems like a no brainer when compared to Flake, even in as red a state as AZ.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Just like China is an extreme case, so is the USA in the other direction. There is room for somewhere in the middle, look at Germany.

So tell me what makes us US workers so spoiled. Btw, I still believe you're trollin but I'm bored so why not.

Black is not a deragotary term. It's less stupid than African American which assumes all
black people are Americans.

The term 'African American' irks the shit outta me. It's a way of qualifying (and separating) Blacks as American.

And yeah, while Black might not be a true derogatory term, based on the old dictionary descriptions of the word, it's hardly flattering.

Also I don't know why you're implying I am racist where I am not. I told you that I'm pro Obama already.

What the fuck does this even mean? You think there isn't a single racist voting for Obama this (or last) cycle?

Not saying that you are a racist but your qualifier for not being one is flimsy when all things are considered.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

How do you guys feel about this, it sounds decent?

First, we should adopt the GOP-favored territorial tax system for profits reported in any country that taxes corporate profits...

Second, we should adopt President Obama's proposed "international minimum tax," equal to that 15 to 18 percent threshold, to minimize profit shifting. Corporations should still be allowed to claim a credit against any actual foreign taxes paid; if a corporation paid 13 percent in taxes to, say, Switzerland, it should only owe to the U.S. the difference between 13 percent and the international minimum tax rate.

Obama focused on turnout, Romney on Pennsylvania

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Just two days from the finish, President Barack Obama's campaign is mobilizing a massive get-out-the-vote effort aimed at carrying the Democrat to victory, as Republican Mitt Romney makes a late play for votes in Democratic-leaning Pennsylvania.

Obama was closing out the campaign with an apparent edge in some key battleground states, including Ohio. But both campaigns were predicting wins in Tuesday's election.

...

The Republican ticket cast the late push into Pennsylvania as a sign that Romney had momentum and a chance to pull away states that Obama's campaign assumed it would win handily. The president's team called the move a "Hail Mary" and a sign Romney still doesn't have a clear pathway to reaching 270 Electoral College votes. Democrats have a million-voter registration advantage in Pennsylvania.

"This is a desperate ploy at the end of a campaign," said David Plouffe, a top adviser to Obama's campaign, on ABC's "This Week," arguing that Romney would have to win 2 out of 3 independents to pick up Pennsylvania. "He's not going to do that anywhere, much less Pennsylvania."

Pennsylvania is like a great snare, always wagging its ass just enough to lure in unsuspecting Republicans before springing its trap. So sad, so sad.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

No no no...YOU have never assumed he would lose, remember?

YOU keep giving him Ohio and the win, remember?

Who cares if the article assumes he'll lose...YOU have him winning on Tuesday night, remember?

So for those folks who cant afford college what type of life should they be satisfied with? Should they not have children? Should they not have a car? Should they be content with living in a studio apartment in a poor neighborhood? Should they not be able to have health care? What type of life do they deserve?

What type of regulations would you do away with?

Way too much PCness. It's best to call black people black, there is no shame or racism in it.

No it means I am aware that blacks get fucked over in this country and they don't get a fair shot most of the time. But I am not going to be overly PC and not use the word black as its the easiest and most correct term to use.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Republican culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in other countries where you can become successful by working well with others. If you praise a Democrat, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the Republican party, after hearing about this, is not going to want to vote for Christie, nor will they support for any form of bipartisanship. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Christie has alienated an entire party with this move.

Governor Christie, publicly apologize and call Obama a Kenyan or you can kiss your 2016 nomination goodbye.

Pennsylvania is like a great snare, always wagging its ass just enough to lure in unsuspecting Republicans before springing its trap. So sad, so sad.

He will get drawn in by the over abundance of Romney lawn signs and NOBAMA bumper stickers; however, as soon as he spends his money and shakes some hands in rural and suburban PA, the cities will vote making his efforts worthless.

Oregon's always been the lightest blue of the West Coast states. I still remember Dole and Bush campaigning there until finally giving up. Thankfully, it has solidified. No reason for nerves there.

But many black folks are not college educated. Surely its due to laziness and being spoiled, right?

 

[Izayoi]

Hearing about wait times more than ten minutes, let alone hours... That's really depressing. It's unbelievable how rampant voter suppression already is, and the fact that it's allowed to get continually worse is really upsetting. Every state should have a system like Washington, filled out my ballot in the parking lot of my closest public library, dropped it off, drove home. The entire process (including grabbing some food to go) took no more than 15 minutes. As opposed to forcing people to line up, and then hiring people to manage the huge crowds, as well as keeping tabs on hundreds or thousands of voting machines, it seems like the far superior (and far cheaper) method. I just don't get it.

Who cares if the article assumes he'll lose...YOU have him winning on Tuesday night, remember?

Calm down

The article clearly suggests that if Romney loses, republicans will blame Christie and possibly never forgive him. I merely stated I don't think anyone will care about Romney in four years, clearly in the event that he lost. I often discuss hypotheticals about what could happen in 2016 if Obama wins this year

Of the two terms, I prefer Black. We are agreed.

Where we DON'T agree however, is on your comments about how you think only people with college degrees or their own business should qualify for middle class.

I can tell you, I have neither and I'm doing just fine.

Really well, actually.

There's this thing called hard work, networking and (over time) gaining on the job, transferable work skills...
