Actually not, The Conservative has already prepared for life emergency's. The Liberals sit around waiting for some one to help them. The grasshopper and the ant! No better example than Hurricane Katrina,
The Conservatives packed up, headed out of town, to safer grounds! The Liberals sat around waiting for the government to help them.
The people who had to stay in town and weather the storm were either too stubborn to leave, too foolish to leave (thinking the storm wouldn't be too bad) or too poor to leave (no transportation, and New Orleans didn't do a great job of providing public transportation to assist in leaving town).
Not sure how you decided everyone who stayed in town was a "liberal" - I'm sure there were people of all political persuasions who decided to stay.
Except that in your mind, all the good white people are conservatives, and all the stupid brown ones are liberals.
Why is it you always try to turn every thing into a race thing??

I do realize this is so not the point of this thread, however, If a child's mom and dad divorce and each re-marry someone else. Then that child potentially has Mom=two grandparents Step-parent=two grandparents dad=two grandparents step-parent=two grandparents That's a potential of eight grandparents. It is always the same grand parent, the absentee can not keep track of the number of times they use it as an excuse.

That's because you are a decent, caring person. Not a selfish asshole. Hey go ahead pay for me!! We already do. FICA is real time. Future cuts will be needed to pay for the benefits given today.

People who make Tamales can make a hella lot of $$ selling them to other people who don't have said talent. My Mother-in-law makes them for family. She only does it several times a year. They sell them in the deli for maybe $4 apiece. DH buys them from people that come into his office occasionally because it is worth taking a chance on them. I want to say he pays maybe $12 a dozen. My inlaws live 2 people to a house that is at least 1200 square feet, and they own an income property.
Bean, that was my point, there are a million ways to make money. Ever wonder why there so many Jewish tailors? They can start their business with a needle , thread, and scissors! idk, for the same reasons there's so many Vietnamese-owned nail salons? this is what their communities were already doing when they got here, so they learned the trade. what a completely fucking ignorant thing to say.

Stereotyping Jews is anti-Semitic.

That sounds just like what is said about people of Chinese heritage in Malaysia and Indonesia. And every once in a while (takes a few decades for the resentment to build up again) there are severe attacks against that part of the population.
Too bad OC doesn't seem to realize or, worse yet, refuses to acknowledge how dangerous stereotypes are.

The reason certain professions are dominated by certain races/ethnic groups/religions is because that is all they could get work in because they were not allowed to work in other areas because they weren't 'Mericans or insert any other country of your choosing.
Naturally when your friends and family came over you included them in your business because they had to pay bills and eat too.
That is how the stereotype was born that all Jews are greedy money lenders. That's how the stereotype that African Americans are somehow "genetically" superior for playing basketball arose. That's where the stereotype about Asians and nail salons came from.
Sure it doesn't sound like racism when you say that all Jews are tailors because they are good at it, just because it sounds like a positive quality doesn't mean it isn't racism. Read your history.
