Basically the past 14ish months we have been dormant. It's an odd schedule for sure. We are working with a Grammy award winning producer currently. I mean I guess I could link our Facebook page if you guys want it.

Zhangliao...for myself, I am not against the government helping those who REALLY need it. But as another poster said. They are usually not getting the help they need. The ideas behind social programs are great. The government has proved beyond doubt that they are incapable of ever doing anything without massive amounts of waste and graft. It always turns out to be simple theft by taking.

Clay is having to back track a little today because mizzu did provide details of the actual event in question which clay mentioned may have never even happened

If you are referring to the poo swastika, it does not appear he is back tracking. I am no Clay Travis fan, but this series about the Missouri protests is pure gold. Clay is still pointing out that there is no photographic evidence of the swastika, only a campus police report. This is pretty difficult to accept in this day and age, when a photograph/video can be (and nearly always is) taken with even the most basic cell phone. However, the more salient point he is making is that even if there was a poo swastika, is the act of a single deranged poo painter (and/or a couple of drunk Missouri rednecks) indicative of systemic/institutional racism on the campus. Again, Clay is a bit of a douche, but I have no choice but to agree with him on this one.

Haha ok, but y'all gotta understand one thing... The page hasn't been updated in about a year and a half, because we have overhauled everything from our sound to our appearance. It's going to be revamped completely in a few months.

That is the problem that I see with the welfare system. It is just like Communism that on paper it sounds and looks great...but when acted out by human beings it is a bad bad way of doing things. There needs to be new laws regarding welfare. For example, if a person is to go onto welfare they must adhere to the following: drug screening, showing that they are making an effort to apply for jobs to get off of welfare, etc. Things like that will help keep people from abusing the system.

Funny you ask. When we played a small club in london, one of the members were there and tweeted about us after the show. We didn't get to meet them personally though!

Really appreciate it though :hi:

:salute: Hi five! I definitely will be voting for Ted Cruz.

I'm no republican but Ted Cruz exudes slimeball. He reminds me of Martin O'malley on the democrat side. Pure slimey politicians.

If I was a republican I'd vote for Trump. He's actually authentic.

If social programs were abolished tomorrow, do you think that our citizens would give enough to make up the difference?

If not, do you think that it's the government's role to step in?

If not, then whose?

I don't think it would immediately, and that is obvious. It takes a shift in mindset. However, as a nation, we did fairly well without social welfare for quite some time.

The reason is that communities (and in this sense I mean groups of people, be it neighborhoods, cities, but also churches, clubs, extended families, social groups of any sort) took care of their own.

The only people that slipped through the cracks were ones that were deemed unworthy of support and those who were not in any social group. That doesn't happen anymore at all.

While I'm sure some of this is demographic shifts (more population living anonymously in cities, etc), I also know that a certain amount of it is an attitude that "it's not my problem," or "that's why I pay taxes," or "the government won't let people starve."

Further, because government accumulates power by using power. We have people freezing to death and/or starving to death everyday in this country, but how often do you hear about it? One prominent reason is that homeless and needy people are forcibly herded away into housing projects, or encampments in industrial areas so they're not seen as a problem by John Q. Taxpayer who doesn't frequent that part of town.

I honestly believe that social welfare programs are used to gather votes rather than help a problem, and I further believe that it is modern day enslavement because people become so dependent and they always have a bureaucrat guiding their decisions as a result. As such, I can't support social programs, for the most part, especially on a federal level.

Yet, I think the only way they'll ever go away is if the giving of private individuals, helping other individuals, decreases demand for public welfare programs.
