Imagine not knowing the Bible and that giving 10% was a Jewish law. The new testament says to give from the heart.
Thats not what it means. It means that anything over 10% is to be from the heart. You're basically saying you're a new testament Christian and that the Old Testament doesn't apply to you.

That went away in most communities when Walmart started building on the edge of town in small town America. Some are recovering but it's taken a long, long time.
I don't disagree. I think locally you see it more with services (sanitation, lawn care,etc). I may be naive but I just believe that there is a large group of Americans that are okay with spending more for American made goods ILO of products from overseas. It also would probably lead to those American manufacturing workers spending more money with local services due to the increased wages.

So more inflation. Yay! Manufacturing wage increases mean price of goods increases.
What is that percentage of increase? I do believe there is an understanding that with a larger American production force that their would be slight price increase for some goods made here. Do you not believe that given the choice some Americans would prefer to "buy American". Isn't it the same idea as supporting local businesses in all of our local communities?

This isn’t complicated.
So you believe more American jobs is a bad thing? I think the majority of Trump supporters understood that short term pain was going to be part of this process. The last admin pushed policies geared to everyone besides regular Americans that the correction has to cause some short term pain.

Have no fear, the recovery side of this will largely benefit those who already have a ton of money and likely just further contract the US middle class
By recovery, do you mean the market? If so, do you not think the majority of people that are already in the market with retirement or brokerage funds will benefit from the recovery as well? I just don't understand how the recovery will "largely benefit" only those with a ton of money?

Please explain this point further. How has any of Trumps actions led to America collapsing?

I just dont get how people are against the tariffs when the purpose is to level the playing field and to bring more jobs to America? Currently the only time foreign companies build manufacturing facilities here is when they receive tax credits through the federal government... those still will probably exists but at least tariffs forces them to build even more of those manufacturing facilities here.

Based on human nature. You honestly think the majority of people in a corporate environment get more done at home than in an office setting? How many videos did we have to see during covid of people being at parks or a pool "working" from home.

i have been remote since 2 years before Covid. may company and managers know i'm responsible and get my work done and then so since then, and allow me to stay remote. they have instituted 1 day a month for folks to go back in - for me they let it be optional.
but then again I am a responsible adult and give them no reason
Do you believe this is the norm with remote work? I think my only problem with remote work is that for most people they dont get as much done as they would in an office setting. There will always be outliers that contribute just as much from as remote setting as they would in person, but I just dont believe that's the case for the majority of people.

Do yall have a preference on VOO or VTI? Always wondered if people liked one more than the other.

I have said over and over again I think these guys legally are guilty
Didn’t stop you from saying I love rapists though
You just said a few pages ago that rapists don't usually ask for consent, so after that comment I thought it was clear you were on the side of the rapists. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

No, they can’t though, brother
A drunk women legally can not give consent
If you feel that way then why have you fought tooth and nail to defend these guys legally over and over again in this thread?

You blamed alcohol, and it wasnt. It was her choice to get blindly drunk at a club.
You can absolutely think these boys should be prosecuted while understanding she contributed to her own problems.
I didnt realize I did that but I agree completely and thats exactly how I feel about the matter. My problem is with the people defending the guys actions when they had to ask multiple times for consent and knew she was wayyyy too drunk to even consent.

Legal rape you mean. That’s what that is as well
Brother... how can you not realize that some women can give consent when they are "legally" drunk. The women that have to be asked more than once are not capable of given consent. I feel like that is black and white.

Your emotions have taken over and you are arguing things that don’t exist
Regardless of how the law determines anything I think what the defendants did that night is reprehensible
But the truth is women get drunk, some extremely drunk, and have sex. That’s actually fairly common especially in college
And if the woman wakes up the next day and isn’t bothered by it, you nor anyone else is screaming “they should go arrest those guys for rape!”
This case is different than most because we don’t have any clue how Brooks would have reacted the next day
And you're making this about every sexual encounter where the woman is drunk. If you cant see the nuance that this situation isnt about that and is quite different than just a normal drunk encounter then I'm not sure what to tell you.
Here is some free advice for you and any other men in here struggling with this... if you have to ask more than once for a womans consent while she's drunk.. it's rape. I'm starting to feel like some of you guys are a bit sensitive on this matter and defending the guys in this case because yall have had to ask for consent multiple times before and are just now seeing how big of a POS you are.

The truth about sex and alcohol is the only thing that matters is how the girl feels about it the next day in terms of whether the law gets involved
You're right. Thank God Carver said that she had to be asked multiple times to consent because she was so drunk, if he didnt they would probably all walk.
quote:
There will be 1,000s of drunk women in this state alone that will have sex tonight. In your opinion is all of those cases rape?
Did all of those women have to be asked multiple times to consent? Or be woken up because they were passing out?
quote:
So trying to simplify this case just down to alcohol being involved is just naive.
I still think it’s rape based on Carvers and the others testimony where they admit to knowing she was extremely drunk,and without Brooks being alive the next day to present her feelings on the encounter that’s all that matters here
Alcohol is why she is dead. Alcohol is why she had to be asked multiple times to consent. This case is about how drunk she was and that she couldnt consent when she was that drunk.
I wish that all of you guys defending the actions of those four men would have ever woman in your life read your thoughts on this case because it would show them how big of a POS yall are for defending them repeatedly.

Another way to look at it is rapist aren’t usually very keen on asking for consent….
Got another guy in here saying it's not rape because she didnt fight back and have skin cells under her finger nails. I get playing devlis advocate but some of yall take this shite too far.
