Historically speaking, democrats were slave traders. I know that goes back, way back to a couple of hundred of years, but what has changed since then that these racists overwhelming support the Republican party today?

Why can't they just ask their fathers to enroll them in to private schools?

So the situation is that I'm a 33-year-old accountant that is not particularly comfortable communicating with women casually. Professionally, I am, but socially/casually, I'm not. I understand it's very late in my life to attend to this issue but better late than never.I want to do something about it and I understand that it will take time. So I thought that working at a clothing store, in the weekends, where I face women consistently, where I can small talk, would be the best place to start However, I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad idea because the extent of an interaction at a clothing store might never get past a small talk. But, maybe, initially to get rid of my nerves, this might be a good thing. I wanted to gather your opinions and see what you guys think. I thought about working at a casual fine dining restaurant, but I'm not good-looking by society's standards and I'm not big either. So that's out of the picture. Is working at a clothing store a good start to remove some nerves ?

I honestly reject both parties equally, even though most people view me as Republican. But honestly I simply see myself as a Libertarian or even an Anarchist. Now the question is: do we really have to run that race? Isn't it best to stop voting and accept the fact the presidents are selected, not elected?

Favorite answer: Neither. I vote based on performance, not on bogus charges trumped up by some hypocritical holier-than-thou group of powermongers

Favorite answer: I believe that people should have sex only in marriage because marriage commits two people to care for each other and for their children (who are too weak to care for themselves). Of course they should have fun in bed; but children result from having sex. Children need their parents and parents need a stable cooperative bond in order to nourish and protect them.  It need not be public but it should be there. Fewer kids would self-harm if they felt wanted and safe, that means a bond of love and trust between their parents. With the Pill, condoms and and vasectomy, the couple can have sexual pleasure without most of the risk of having an unwanted child; but there is the risk. 
And when menopause happens, you know the man in your bed loves you no matter what your body becomes.

What you'll see is massive unemployment followed by a recession and then inflation when the economy recovers. That's been the pattern for the last 6 times we've raised minimum wage (I haven't gone back farther than that). Remember when we raised minimum wage in 2007 (and again in 09) ?  The democrats will try to do it when a republican is president and then blame that president. If that isn't possible they'll still try to blame republicans in some way.  If the increase is large (like $15) you'll see a lot of companies go out of business. Off the top of my head, I don't see Arby's and Wendy's making it. That will trigger a chain reaction in the economy and cause a very bad recession/depression. Possibly worse than 08.  Bookmark this question and when it happens come back and tell me I'm wrong. I dare you. 

Need held for a research paper

Favorite answer: A lot of them still don't think it's happened.
