In these days, you cannot tell the differences between someone that is mentally ill, it is because the majority are mentally ill and which that is the new norm.
No one cannot see that the mother suffers from mental illness. They are actually bringing up someone that has a mental disorder on live broadcast as if she had known better.

Taxation policy is one part of fiscal policy.
Exactly. Not increasing taxes on the wealthy was a huge reason for the growth in the income gap.

You don't know what part of monetary policy increased the wealth gap, which ultimately increases the income gap as well?
I don't know what monetary policy you think increased the income gap. Care to share?
You don't think bidding up financial assets with QE didn't create capital gains, which can ultimately be reinvested to create a larger stream of income?
I make $30 million in capital gains thanks to QE, I reinvest my profits into income producing investments to increase my income, why is this a difficult concept to understand?
You made 30 million and you are constantly posting on the shroomery. I'm not calling you a liar, I swear to God. It's just that it makes no sense to me. If I had had 30 million I would never sign into this website. But hey congratulations on your success,

Well, if we look at some of those times of nostalgic prosperity, 1950's postwar America tends to stand out. While the fact that it was "postwar" probably played a factor in the booming economy, the average tax rate at the time was 92% on the top 0.1%. Interestingly, this coincides with the emergence of the middle class. Seems that chasing down inequality through taxation worked great, right up until we just kind of stopped doing it.
I know about the Texas shooting. But I'm talking about the constant flow of school shootings and the rest of them; like the theaters and so on.. We had mental illness all throughout our history. Like Charles Manson and so on. But the increasement of mass shooting shows that people are having problems of resolving issues between others. Even I have seen law enforcement officials are showing weird behaviors as if they are not comprehending at all what they are doing, as if they are space cadets. I has to be careful in what I have to say around others, that it is making me feel uncomfortable being in the public. A friend of mines had told me that this generation of people is not the same as when we were their age ( But we weren't aware of gmo's at the time when he had said that statement). But how can someone that were born around the time of gmo's were out on the market can see the differences between how it were before. The politicians knows this, but they are being paid not to mention it, but to act dumb-founded, as if nothing is going on, that we are just having another ordinary days of problems. There has been times that we all feels as if we want to shoot up someone for giving us a bad time, but we just laugh about afterwards. But now people are reacting on their impulses, that they are not thinking of the consequences in what will happen afterwards.
Speaking of space cadets, none of the shootings I mentioned happened in Texas (amazingly enough). Heh. I'm still gonna call BS on GMOs having any negative effects. Any DNA or RNA in food would be broken down into base nucleotides or unrecognizably short strings by proteins designed to do specifically that in saliva, as well as the effects of stomach acid. It can't actually change you. That's sort of like thinking that if you tear down an old house and reuse some of the bricks, the bricks are gonna fall apart because they want to go back to their original old house shape.
As for shootings becoming more common, I think that's mostly because of publicity. Gun violence as a whole peaked during prohibition, then declined until around WWII, when it spiked again, and a final spike in the early 90's. Since then, gun violence is down by half. Of that, 2/3rds of deaths by gun are suicide. (I always found it interesting that psychologists ask suicidal patients if they "have a plan", and lock them up if they say yes. Who needs a plan when you could go down to Walmart and buy a 12 gauge head remover for 200$ in less than an hour? It's not like the clerk is gonna know or care you were just under psychiatric evaluation, they'll get fired if they don't sell.) Of course, we do seem to have more random "active shooter" scenarios now, whereas it seemed previous gun violence was aimed at specific people. I think that has more to do with a general feeling of hopelessness due to the economy missing the toilet mixed with extremely polarized politics. It's like a death cult mentality (this is also why I think ISIS is able to recruit) where someone sees no light at the end of the tunnel, they think life will only get worse, and so they decide to die in the most spectacular way they can. If you can't figure out a way to live for what you believe in, might as well die for it. That way, they may have accomplished nothing and become a literal stain on humanity, but people might still say their names in hushed voices for a few minutes. Everyone wants to be (in-)famous.
A third factor, and this is quite possibly the most important/the most relevant, is timing. You know about every shooting that has happened in the last few years because you were alive and saw the news broadcasts. 20 years from now, kids aren't gonna know anything about columbine simply by virtue of not being alive during that time. This is during a time where detailed records are kept on... I was gonna say everything, but that's not true, especially related to guns. It's actually illegal for the government institution that collects data on all deaths in the country for any reason (CDC) to collect and analyze data on gun deaths. I'm sure we've lost reams of data on mass shootings to random fires or bugs or people simply not caring enough to keep the data around. Not only did Fatty Arbuckle get blackballed from Hollywood and become unable to find work due to a false accusation, a good chunk of his films no longer exist in any form. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure only one of his feature length films survived the court of public opinion for long enough that we still have copies.

On the subject of income inequality that Fal and Q were talking about you guys are both kinda off base, no offense. But what we have is a combination of corporations that are in bed with government which is the real issue. One guy says "it's the corporations, we need more government intervention!" The next guy says "too much government we need less intervention!" When reality is they are working together to for the benefit of themselves, fuck all of us. So in conclusion the issue is both government and corporations that are working against us. The only way to stop this is to vote in people who you believe will stand up to the corruption, they are hard to find. You may not have liked Ron Paul but at least he had a record of standing up against stuff like that.

Well Listeria and all sort of other bacteria doesn't breaks down at all. It is just absorbed into the bloodstream the body attacking all sort of parts of the body before it is eliminated. Even tooth decay can cause dementia and which a lot of people in the past has had. And now we has people of these times that doesn't has tooth decay but suffers from some certain level of dementia. And gmo's is created by using a bacteria that lowers the immune system and which that bacteria is not made for consumption.
July 31, 2013 -- Poor dental health and gum disease may be linked to Alzheimer's disease and dementia, a new study from the University of Central Lancashire School of Medicine and Dentistry suggests.
Although past studies have suggested a link between oral health and dementia, this is the first to pinpoint a specific gum disease bacteria in the brain.
Researchers looked at donated brain samples of 10 people without dementia and 10 people with dementia. They found the bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis in the brains of four of those with dementia.
This bacteria may play a role in changes in the brain in Alzheimer's disease, contributing to symptoms including confusion and failing memory.
Everyday activities like eating and tooth brushing, and some dental treatment, could allow the bacteria to enter the brain. "We are working on the theory that when the brain is repeatedly exposed to bacteria and/or debris from our gums, subsequent immune responses may lead to nerve cell death and possibly memory loss," says Sim Singhrao, PhD, a senior research fellow at the university. http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/news/20130731/dental-health-dementia
Nobody with sense goes out and settle their business with innocent lives. tHey go and settle their business with the one who caused the problem. Like if a man's wife has cheated on him. He doesn't seek revenge on the world. He seek the one that has cheated on him. And so shooting at cops that has nothing to do with them of being in that state of mind, and that is a severe mental issue. There has been people that live off of the welfare programs all of there life that has not complained about the system and or decided to go off and shoot up a school. But the columbine shooters were children of a middle-class family. If children were picking at them in school, if they has sense like a lot of other children. They will start working out at the gym and enter into a Mix martial art class. And I saw an officer on T.V. looking morbidly, tasering an old white woman that weren't arguing at all, just for telling her daughter or granddaughter to stop behaving like a rude child.

Also, the top 1% pay much more in taxes relative to the middle class today.

In the interests of simplifying this quote wall'o'text, I'm going to shorten the quote and reply to these two statements on which the part of your argument I disagree with rests:
A) GMO foods, and genetic modification in general has absolutely nothing to do with bacteria, genetic material is inserted using a specially designed virus that injects RNA into cells to be written into the genetic code in the nucleus. This is also how viruses reproduce. Viruses are basically little syringes with a tiny bit of genetic data, and they poke it into a cell to reprogram the cell to make more viruses. Some (few) bacteria are hardy enough to survive the human digestive system. I can't think of a single virus that could. Well, okay, minor caveat, reprogrammed GMO bacteria are used to incubate medicines (I think insulin is a common one using E.coli) in a bioreactor. Those bacteria never become a part of the food supply.
B) Yep, nobody with sense takes their frustrations out on innocent lives. I fully agree. Then again, nobody with even the slightest modicum of sense would accuse a grieving family member who just lost their child to a senseless (see what I did there?) tragedy of being a paid actor that just needs to go back to smiling and waving from the red carpet. Heck, there's even a conspiracy forum here (that I frequent much more than this one). There is an entire branch of economics dedicated to figuring out how to predict the irrational behaviors of the consumer public. We are not Vulcans.
As for qman: I would pay the absolute shit out of a 92% tax rate making 10m/year instead of continuing on my current trajectory that will likely end up with me making 100-150k in industrial synthetic chemical design. 800k left over is way better than 150k before tax. Considering my life to date costs an average of 12k/year and I don't consider myself to be dirt poor, I really don't need that much. Of course, the flip side of that is I'm fine with declaring a reasonable income and paying taxes instead of using Hollywood bookkeeping to somehow lose money on the top grossing films in history.

No one claimed the effective tax rate was 92%. But the effective tax rate used to be a lot higher before the 1980s.

I think the point here is clear. Republicans are repugnant human beings... but so are Democrats. The Republicans have moved so far to the right, that they will soon be irrelevant, in my view. Democrats have followed them to the right. Democrats are what Republicans used to be.
We have no leftist party in the United States. That is why our country is turning into such a fucking shithole. There is no left-wing voice. We have to fix that.

I think you're confusing left wing politics with establishment politics. Robert Reich sums it up perfectly here:
Hillary doesn’t get it: She doesn’t need to move toward the middle — she needs to move toward the anti-establishment
Quote:
Most basically, the anti-establishment wants big money out of politics. This was the premise of Sanders’s campaign. It’s also been central to Donald (“I’m so rich I can’t be bought off”) Trump’s appeal

Lol. Did you know that Fox News is simultaneously considered the most biased and the most accurate news organization in America? Because you're both right. And wrong. From a European perspective (which coincides pretty closely with mine, what with being originally from that region of the world), America is stunningly right wing. Like, Bernie would have been a right leaning moderate. From an Iranian perspective, we're all hippies and Reagan was probably so far left he would have been imprisoned. Look into the concept of the "Overton window".
Unrelated note: I have found that right-wingers tend to rely more on emotional and personal attacks in their arguments (or, more accurately, fallacies, as emotional and personal attacks both have related and well explained fallacies behind them). Just an interesting observation.

You literally stole the words I was going to say. Every time I ever debate a Republican they always say how "the media is so far left," which is far from true. The media and all of America leans right compared to the rest of western society.
Also, there are studies that actually prove exactly what you are saying. Republicans tend to use their amygdala to make decisions. This means they base most of their views on emotion. Liberals tend to use their left posterior insula. This means they tend to base most of their views on numbers, statistics, and logic.

Dems fucked Obama by not voting in the midterms. Reps have blocked Obama just to be dicks. The sitting Pres is supposed to appoint supreme court judges. Republicans with their never ending pointless expensive investigations and attempted repeals have not been doing what they are paid to do. Just collecting checks while trying to look busy. Republicans should be ashamed of nominating Donald fucking Trump to represent their party. Hillary is more moderate than I would like and I won't argue that she is in some ways shady. I'd of preferred Bernie but I sure as hell would rather Clinton appointing judges than Trump. We need to make sure we get progressives into the senate to keep Hillary honest and I think she will do just fine.

What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

The American voters elected him because he's black. Which of course, has nothing to do with Congress blocking him because he's a twit and his positions sucking ass.

Most of the policies of Obama have been the same as those of George W Bush, yet people run around pretending there is some dramatic difference. I have a friend who just loves GWB, and thinks Obama is the antichrist, or some crazy shit. They're the same guy, policy-wise. If not completely, very close.
I liked some of Obama's rhetoric before he was elected.
