I'm confuseded (again)

If your book suddenly starts selling really well just because you are a Presidential candidate, is that not a "Windfall Profit"?

If you grew up in your Grandmothers humble/small 2 bedroom apartment, would you not spend a small portion of the $4 million in windfall profits from your book to buy her a nicer place?

If you lived with your Mother and Grandparents while your mother was in school (pursuing a PhD) would you not be part of their household and be ineligible for food stamps?

I am so confused!

Depends on if she was typical or not........................

I have not read his books, so this is based only on excerpts and quotations posted on line and discussed in the media.

That said, it does seem he has an inner, or almost subconscious disdain for her.

Of course it seems she is a person who both expects and respects hard work and common sense.

Hmmm, makes you kind of think!

N_Jay & jdeanksi should respect the fact that the Current Events forum was closed because these types of threads are not appreciated here.

They should at least get the toilet paper off their shoes when they venture out of their stall.

Why?

It would deprive us of your insightful wit.

Not appreciated by who? But this is is a "general, off topic" thread and this discussion is certainly general and "off topic". Perhaps you are one of those that believes in the restricting of general opinions from members of our "family". I still believe freedom of expression and believe if one disagrees they should simply not contribute.

It's my understanding that there were many complaints by members about the argumentative tone of so many similar political threads. I don't see this as an issue of freedom of speech since there is no government interference in that right here, simply the freedom and responsibility of members and management to express their preferences as to what type and manner of discussions should be encouraged and discouraged here on this privately owned website. I obviously enjoyed many discussions and humor in the Current Events forum, but I also respect the rights and responsibility of other contributing members and moderators to influence the quality and character of interaction here. Makes my life a lot easier anyway. No one is restricting you from starting your own website to promote whatever type of discussion you would like to promote.

Who knows, I might even stop by for a good laugh!

Really?

would it not be the responsibility of members to express their desires to the management, and the responsibility of the management to take action?

Seems you are a little "overactive" on the topic of right and wrong topics.

Hmmmm, maybe you need to start a "Community Watch" program here?
I have a blinking yellow light you can use.

I'm gonna have to find a decent guns and politics site. All my "regular" forums have shut down off topic stuff on the matters, bummer!!!!!!!

Isn't that what I just said above?

Just trying to be respectful of what colorider has said about the desires and complaints of the members here.

It seems the answer is NO. Wasn't a poll removed by the "management" where members could express their opinions to reopen the "current events" section.

No it was not. (At least not as I read it)

Yep. It is always a good idea to pull up next to some one going over the speed limit and honk, to let them know!
