Tesla Insanely Coil posted:My husband's aunt said this almost word for word. She is thankful that her company fires the old and sick because it keeps her health insurance down and she doesn't want to pay for other people's healthcare. I tried to think of ways to address that mindframe, but I came up with nothing. Any ideas? "what happens when you are old and sick" "what you do to the least of my brothers you do to me" "gently caress you" any work

davidb posted:does police coercion count as torture? I know that people confess to stuff they didnt do. I just cant understand why they do it when simply stressed by confrontational cops. Im not confessing to anything unless your doing serious stuff like cutting off my fingers, ripping out nails, burning crap You're wrong, and beliefs like this are one of the reasons false confessions are so difficult to deal with: despite mountains of evidence people insist on ignoring it and believing it can't happen.

loving with congressional and presidential salaries is meaningless: the sole purpose is to make yourself feel better and it has absolutely no impact on the budget in any real sense.

Strudel Man posted:How? I've tried on a couple occasions to look for a comprehensive, unbiased look at the extent of welfare fraud, but never came up with much. Simply assume literally every dollar of welfare is fraud, then look at how it compares to the bottom line.
