Meh, 99.9% vs. .1% isn't exactly a civil war. Libertarians believe that individuals can rely on the benevolence of paternal business firms who view individuals under their employ as just one factor of labor to manipulate and do with as they please. It is like to be a capitalist you have to immediately compromise treating people as people and not objects. And I do it too. If I'm at a restaurant, and a waitress is talking too much, I feel like "wtf, you're a waitress, refill my tea and gtfo" beyond pleasantries, which is shitty and a socialized trait. I think it is funny that in places I've been in Europe it is rude to ask people what they do, because what does it matter? In the US it is the first thing people ask each other and result in an insane amount of social calculations immediately.

Trump is pretty cool and I think he is pretty badass. I'm not going to disparage him because first off I don't have anything bad to say about him, and second, if I did have anything to say, I wouldn't say it, because he is one of those people who will actually retaliate against you for any perceived transgression. Plus I'm sure he has done a staggering amount of charity and philanthropy personally, and much good through taxes surrendered for social and economic programs as well.


Why is that shitty? I don't go to a diner to socialize with the employees. I don't care if a robot, human, dog, or donkey is refilling my water as long as it gets done.

We have an entire industry, complete with university instruction, on hospitality. It's a heavily valued thing.

I do feel the hospitality aspect is missing within the business administration nowadays, stemming from the demand of customers who no longer value it.

I do not support Trump but I understand why people might. He is not afraid of the political machine and I believe he would actually bring change to Washington. How? By embarrassing all of the talking heads who don't actually do anything except by coasting toward retirement. However, I believe he would be a complete laughing stock in office and that he would degrade even further our status as a world power.

I'm not surprised to see he's leading these polls too.

:lol: Sundresses, faded jeans and trump.. We're building an alliance..

I agree, I think Trump appeals to a group of people who have wanted to have the balls to say what they feel without fear of reprisal. What they don't understand, Peter Parker, is that with great power comes great responsibility. Despite what the children's saying says about sticks and stones, words do in fact have the ability to do great harm, and when the wrong person is put in position as spokesman for the nation he can potentially be devastating to both domestic and foreign relations. And Trump has already proved himself to be unable or unwilling to constrain himself from inflammatory speech. And it's not as if he's "spot on" or calling out hidden truths mostly he's just spouting lies and bigoted or misogynistic speech. I honestly can't find one admirable quality in the overfluffed ass.

“I’m not going to sit quietly by and let the disaster that is Donald Trump become the nominee. Do you want someone who appears to still be in grade school to be in charge of the nuclear arsenal?”

Good attack, should give Trump another few points as Rand shrinks even further.
