You may want to rethink your positions on taxes.

You see, if you can't pay your rent...perhaps then you cut out lifes little pleasures--like a 'designer coffee' now and then. Or you don't appropriate funds for a theatre experience.

Well dears, the gov't works the same way.

If we waste or tax dollars on war after endless war--(Rome for example) we WILL eventually go bankrupt--even though YOU may not believe it.

Look what's happening RIGHT now before your own eyes!

I mean--why else would LIBRARIES of all things need to be cut by 74% ?

They WANT all of us afraid, terrorized and desparate...and dumbed down.

You don't see a connection between your taxes going to fund wars (BY THE TRILLIONS) and the bankrupting of our great nation--the gutting of our infrastructure--...then I really am afraid for this nation.

Go to this site and see how much NATIONAL taxes have been "stolen" from Jersey City alone--since 2003--to pay for JUST the illegal, brutal Iraq war.

(This counts dollars NOT the cost in human life--which is immeasurable and priceless)

THANKS to ALL who support the WAR ON TERROR for eating up OUR tax dollars to continue illegal war after endless illegal war!

THANKS!

Shut the LIBRARIES DOWN!
NO HEALTHCARE for ANYONE!

MORE WAR! MORE WAR!

ENJOY THE COLLAPSE OF THE USA!

THANKS EVERYONE!

Try STAPLES at NEWPORT or in North BERGEN

The yuppie-hipsters of downtown who are NOW crying because THEIR pockets are NOW being OBVIOUSLY picked by crooked politicians--have not the energy, nor true desire to drive a true revolution.

It's embarassing to them.

Where were they during the start of the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq? In the streets? Or, did THEY benefit from the wars?

BUT..now..their taxes are additionally being raised and there is a pathetic 'revolution'.

I wish I could have been there to see these events.

Oh well......I guess we get what we deserve.

ENJOY THE ONCOMING MISERY PEOPLE!

Also...

For those of YOU who support the 'war on terror'...we can thank YOU for having the trash cans removed from PATH stations and other key areas in JC.

There are VERY FEW places to put trash if you are at PATH stations (Newport, Journal Square...etc.)

THIS was a direct result from the bogus 'war on terror'...you see, "officials' thought trash cans are a perfect place for explosives, etc.

AND THIS BREAKING NEWS (for some of you):
Many 'terror-plots' are created and funded by FBI / other US agencies:

HERE IS A LINK TO PROOF:

THANKS Y'all!

While mostly good points above...BUT we MUST remember:

We've had terrible storms, high winds and an enormous amount of snow recently.

Just a week or two ago there were so many twisted, broken umbrellas strewn about ALL OVER the streets and rammed into packed garbage cans that it looked surreal.

Trash gets blown about!

We gotta pay for ALL these endless wars and bailouts somehow!

While I'm not one for censorship...people ARE offended by words...and we should use discression and tact when using certain words....and ALSO make sure we are NOT quoted out of context.

That being said...here are some other RACIST words that are commonly used in conversations and even in media:

GYPPED
PADDY WAGON
HOOLIGAN
WASP

Yet we NEVER question when those words are used....!

"fat-ass-bike" asked....
"WTF is all my taxes paying for then ?"

Well...remember ALL those wars you support?
Remember all the Troops you support to go and occupy and kill other countries citizens?

Well....SOMEONE's gotta pay for ALL that silly-willy!


(it's really quite simple....American taxes are soaked up by MILITARY BUDGET.....Obama signed LARGEST in USA history!)

FREE up money wasted on billions to foreign nations; bailouts here; and for war after endless war.....maybe THAT pothole will finally get fixed...here.

States and local govt's will be able to get more funds from Federal.


But...keep supportin' those wars! Keep supportin your rights being taken away!

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freedom!

BRINGING FRIENDS!

I surmise that what will happen will be just as what occurred in NYC:

Bloomberg wanted a (I believe) 25% or 30% property tax increase. People (rightfully so) freaked out.

Bloomberg puppets cut it to 18%.

Everyone exhales a sigh of relief that they are ONLY being ripped-off 18%.

SCAM de jour!

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

STOP THE TAX ABATEMENTS TO WEALTHY DEVELOPERS AND HIGHRISE CONDOS.

(ABATEMENTS SHOULD BE USED ONLY FOR PROCURING DEVELOPMENT TO NEGLECTED AREAS TO RAISE AREA LIVING STANDARDS)

CUT THE WAR BUDGET BY 80-90%
(THIS FREES UP MUCH NEEDED BILLIONS SO OUR STATES CAN GET MORE FUNDS)

PUT PLANS IN PLACE TO CREATE AFFORDABLE:
GREEN GARDENS,
SAFE PLACES FOR YOUTH,
FOOD KITCHENS FOR NEEDY;
SHELTERS;
JOBS
(THIS CAN BE ALL DONE WITH MINIMAL EFFORT AND FUNDS IF DONE CORRECTLY)

'ihatethiscity"

You may not have used the WORD 'lynching' but YOUR words are:

"then take them to a park in Greenville, invite the whole town to come and watch, and HANG THEM. These animals don't have any fear shooting up the streets to get what they want. As a community, we need to put fear back into these animals"

"PARK"..."HANG THEM"..."INVITE WHOLE TOWN TO COME AND WATCH"....what the hell else do you call THAT but a lynching???


"Greenville"..hmmmm what community lives there?
Why Greenville ONLY?

'animals'....hmmmmm....


Just observing.


And 'Carmine'....if YOU are fine with giving up YOUR rights that most Americans cherish...then fine. DO NOT GIVE UP MY RIGHTS of FREEDOM!

'Looney left"? some may say the 'Racist Right' have done MORE to undermine America and her freedoms than any lefty liberal phoney.

Libs and the Democrats are JUST as guilty.

I just forwarded to a hundred contacts!

KEEP focused and serious people!

"ihatethiscity":
you wrote:
"What ever happened to the days of public executions?"

Yikes!
So you'd wanna see a body swinging from a tree like in them 'good ole days'?

Well--GOOD NEWS!
We helped bring lynching to IRAQ!

It's a FREE and DEMOCRATIC country NOW! Yippee!

Maybe YOU can move there and enjoy the freedoms we reigned down on the people!

And what would YOU do with those CONVICTED here in Jersey City -- of 'white-collar crimes'?

PLEASE!!

MORE TAX ABATEMENTS for the WEALTHY DEVELOPERS LIKE DWEK WAS PORTRAYING!

PLEASE MAKE JOURNAL SQUARE A POLICE STATE!

PLEASE BLEED MORE OF MY TAXES TO GIVE CONDO OWNERS --FROM GOD KNOWS WHERE--A BIG FAT TAX BREAK! THEY NEED IT!

Hahahahah!

So, "GrovePath"...

Are you saying Whites never start trouble or attack people? Yet, Blacks and Latinos, et al.....DO?

Henceforrth, Blacks and Latinos deserve the racist slur "wolf pack"?

Yikes!

Well, in the past, media almost ALWAYS put a race to the criminal only when the criminal was Black or Latino.

"A Black male...blah blah blah...."

However...when it was a White criminal...you NEVER heard or saw..."A White male was charged with...."...it was..."A male suspect...blah..."

And how come when the drunk, priviliged, White teens are out and about on the PATH trains and around Grove Street...they are never referred to as "wolf packs"?

Just some points.

YIKES!
I thought that rule here in JC was repealed.


Criminalizing "childhood"?

Wow...what is this.....Nazi occupied Germany?....Gaza?
Will youngsters need 'papers' at checkpoints soon?

How about THIS:

CREATE SAFE, CLEAN, DESIREABLE PLACES FOR TEENS to CONGREGATE?

After school programs till 1am?
Free, fun classes and gym activities till 1am?

Criminalizing students and youth is just as silly as:
How about a cerfew for Asians? Whites?
Drunk politicians or hipsters downtown? (Well maybe THAT ONES NOT so silly!---joking!)

Geeze.

And, the use of the term 'wolf pack' to describe teens is offensive...and to some,--IF the meaning is for "children of color", (as its been used MANY MANY times before in mainstream media) downright racist.

Our youth need guideance and safe places. NOT criminal records.

Wrong "W.S.F.Y."

Do YOU know there is a 'war tax' on your phone bill?

Look, if the the costs of these illegal wars didn't take up BILLIONS in our taxpayer dollars, there would be money for other social programs and for states individually.

Why DO you think property taxes go up?
What's THE reason?

To ultimately pay for WhAT?


Ignorance + fear = a good complacent citizen

But wait.....
Citizens are upset TAXES are going UP?

The SAME citizens that SUPPORT endless wars, invasions and occupations on OTHER nations?........

The SAME citizens that SUPPORT the wars on Iraq and Afghinastan?........

The SAME citizens that SUPPORT sending BILLIONS to OTHER countries?........

The SAME citizens who SUPPORT the airline and bank BAILOUTS?.......

The SAME citizens who SUPPORT Obama's $600 Billion war budget for fiscal 2010?


But HOW will those citizens continue to PAY for ALL OF THE ABOVE....WHICH THEY SUPPORT...if our taxes DON'T go up?


(Let's REALLY support our troops and bring'em back here NOW! Stop sending BILLIONS to other nations yearly. STOP bailing out BIG BUSINESS and BANKS.

YES...to money for the USA infrastructure, people and smart, intelligently priced healthcare! THEN we'll have lower taxes...after all HOW do you really think we pay for endless wars?)

Loopy..... Why SOOOO Serious?



What's a hobbit?

This is a great display of debate and free speech and I thank the moderator for this opportunity here.

That being said....

This thread IS interesting...or else others would NOT read ..and post silly,.."this ISN'T interesting" posts....JUVINILE.

I see it like THIS:

Some phonies are SHOCKED...SHOCKED I TELL YOU!!!!..that a people or person would defend themselves from ACTUAL terror...in other words...THEY FIGHT BACK!

They look the other way, or perhaps actually BENEFIT from THAT certain aggression.

A question:
If a person (female OR male) is repeatedly raped and beaten and threatened with death....and they FIGHT BACK and kill their assailant...are THEY all of sudden a 'terrorist'?

I would--except he's DEAD..the CIA killed him.

You STILL will NOT answer with a simple YES or NO.
Sad.


You are SOOooooooo outraged that Che allegedly SAID something. (And NEVER actually DID the allegation)

YET...you refuse to definitively CONDEMN right-wing Cubans for their terror attack on US soil. (something which DID happen.)

You're so funny.


Oh...btw..."straw man argument"--YOU should look up the meaning.

No, Dirt.. there was NO straw man argument.

I repeatedly ASKED you a question ....if you denounced the right-wing Cuban's terror attack on US soil against the United Nations buliding.

YOU said NOTHING...and still refuse to completely answer THAT question.

It's really quite simple:

Do you condemn the right-wing Cubans' use of missles to attack the United Nations at which Che Guevara was speaking? Yes...or NO?

The far left and far right COULD NOT be MORE different.

YOU have an OBAMA 'bug' at the bottom of your post!

I cant see much difference between DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS.....(really a two-headed MONSTER)

Obama is the same as BUSH.
Wake up and smell the sham.

One person's FREEDOM FIGHTER is another's "terrorist".

Who benifits from the oppression and blockade on CUBA?

Would our 'founding fathers' (and sisters) be considered 'terrorists' by the British?

The very troops being supported NOW---are THEY not killing in Iraq and Afghanistan and torturing (at Guantanamo--IN CUBA)?



Thoughts to ponder while you sit comfortably at your computer.
