1. Do we need to use such vulgar language here?
More than once I have seen these ugly posts used against us at sponsors of AAR, etc.

PLEASE clean up the language or we look like neanderthals.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Word History: The obscenity fuck is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, “Flen flyys,” from the first words of its opening line, “Flen, flyys, and freris,” that is, “fleas, flies, and friars.” The line that contains fuck reads “Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk.” The Latin words “Non sunt in coeli, quia,” mean “they are not in heaven, since.” The code “gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk” is easily broken by simply substituting the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both u and v; and vv was used for w. This yields “fvccant vvivys of heli.” The whole thus reads in translation: “They are not in heaven because they fuck wives of Ely .”

7. If framed correctly, your idea might be a way to fix it
Most people see it as an entitlement (ie 'my money') program and not as a insurance policy for people who really need it. If it is reframed as a safety net for those who do need it, it should remain solvent w/o any other changes being made. Removing the cap, or extending it to $X could work as well.

23. It's also a social program
beyond being simply insurance. It guarantees that the elderly are not poverty stricken. I guess that could still be considered insurance.

Anyway, your point is well taken. One thing that Social Security is not is a forced-retirement plan.

91. Ya think? So transparent. Check out my response to FNU saying
'we are going to lose elections acting like this...'

I told him/her - You don't lose elections, you steal them

93. Because they have been listening non-stop to that catch-phrase
"it's your money." Any intelligient person doesn't fall for that repetitive, simplistic crap and I thought my post was clever if I do say so myself.

Bottom line is that it really burst their "it's your money" balloon.

I bet all those freepers own Pet Rocks! :evilgrin:

103. Insurance program that couldn't pay back 30 years ago, let alone now.
People who get puny amounts from SS (SS... just like the Nazi SS, only regarding money) and who have to life on dog food because, if they get a job that pays over a certain amount, what gets taxed would only hurt them more.

Fucking sick, and I'm making no bones about it.
