My parents have worked for 18 years each. They get pensions that they earned. They get medical coverage from the companies that they worked for. Their parents were not around to come with us. Our family is not even an example. I was relating to Julia's comments about hypocrisy of FSU immigrants becoming conservative while sucking a big government tit from the other side.

Mike, read my two posts starting with the one posted @ Вчера 22:38, currently on page 9. There is no argument just my reason why FSU immigrants have every right to have freedom of political stand.

Oleg, that's why I said hypothetically, since I'm not familiar with your family's situation...

btw, some african americans have practically the same argument - they feel they're entitled to various public benefits, and even reparations,because their ancestors helped build this contry without being adequately compensated, not to mention, raped, tortured, and killed... it would appear that they and the conservatives from the FSU have a great deal in common - a strong sense of entitlement.

Oleg, is any of this liberal/conservative issue? Again, my question is again, does anyone argue against basic social benefits to people of retirement age?

My previous message was to Lina. Mike, any topic has ability to deviate from its name, this one became about teachers recently, for example. I am not talking about ANY social issues, just don't call me a hypocrite because my fellow immigrant's grandma received Medicare and I dare to call myself a Conservative.

I dont see any great twist - it's all rather straightforward... conservatives from the FSU are against any form of public assistance, except when it comes to their own relatives (and even themselves). the hypocrisy should be rather obvious to most.

ok, searched some more, and the reason for banning it (poker) on-line was the money laundering problem that goes with it...
the SAFE PORT Act was a continuation of the Wire Act (2020) which didn't ban on-line poker initially...I guess they viewed it as a national security measure..
btw, it's banned in a lot of other countries too..for some reason..

The only downside to talking out of your ass is that you can wake up your tampon.

And the greatest hypocrisy? Talking to someone's ass to try to talk sense into it.
