Which political party is the most tolerant?

Both parties are being taken over by their fringe ideologues, to the detriment of not only this nation, but the entire world. We must again be practical, pragmatic, and temperate. That’s how dad did it. That’s how America does it

Prudence/Temperance doesn't exist on contemporary moral matrices.

This is what happens when you don't have a graduated lever, it's either full throttle or no throttle at all.

Thorondor, I lived in Vancouver, WA up until I moved 30 minutes north 8 months ago.

You should see the underpass on Gher Rd and SR 500 now. I drove through about a week ago, and it is literally packed to the top with human garbage and waste.

It used to be just that kind of stuff only happened in Portland. I suppose rats don't care which side of the river they live on.

Some rats live in Vancouver to avoid income/sales tax

I wouldn't call them rats. After paying 1% annual property tax, 8% sales tax, 26% federal income tax, SSI, excise tax, most people will do whatever it takes to keep their own money.

The rats I was speaking of take far more than they give.

Yeah, its a bit ridiculous considering it costs all of $650/mo for a 1BR apt in vancouver, and about about 450 to 500$/month in Longview, WA 40 miles away.

Thats, essentially, "affordable" on a fry cooks wages, but then you dont get to have a raging heroin addicition and you gotta be a slave to a 30hour/week no effort no skill job.

The horror.

Walmart will pay its truck driver's $86,000 a year + you can sleep in the truck rent free.
Sometimes I am half tempted to do it. If I was single and didn't have kids at home id totally do it.

I would be up in Alaska commercial fishing if I didnt have a similar situation, and regular visitation with the kiddos to keep up with. It's a similar arrangment; with room and board covered.

Funny story re the walmart trucking job. When my ex and i were splitting, a red came by to pick up the free kitchen table i was giving away; her husband was a driver for walmart. She all but offered up that ass talking about how she was lonely and could use some help unloading the table at her place.

BTW Kalama is nice, and pretty affordable still. Would buy a house there although i would prefer a place on lower nehalem road over near Elsie.

I built a house in Kalama off China Garden Road. It is nice.
