I’m kind of burnt out so I’m just going to give you a generic insult and then block you because I have shit to do. I’m right, you’re wrong. White gays are trash. Doesn’t matter what ethnicity you are because you’re trash too. Shut the fuck up and eat a dick. Glad we could have this chat.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE BLOGS OF ALL TIME FOLLOWED ME AND I DIDNT NOTICE WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN WHAT

[slayerenfiniti-blog]

I think it's less a question of, "Is this a good thing?" and more a question of, "Does the government have the Constitutional authority to raise taxes for this purpose?" I'm inclined to think that the answer is no, which is why I disagree with it.

Which is not to say US military presence in Iraq is Constitutional! Since we never officially declared war, we invaded a sovereign nation, which is v bad. And although spending that money on education is BETTER, it's still not Constitutional, u feel?

Completely agree with you as far as military presence in the Middle East being unconstitutional, but I have to disagree with your first part.

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 of the US Constitution is known as the "Taxing and Spending Clause". It says and I quote:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States;

Note it says "Common defence and general welfare".

So really the only way that increasing taxes for this would be unconstitutional is if you feel that it would be against the general welfare of the US citizens. For some, it might be! Raising taxes hurts the lower classes a lot, but there are things they can do to mitigate the damage. Such as exempting the bottom x% of citizens from paying the additional tax, which would not only thrill the lower and middle classes but also make it more likely that those who use this new system to get degrees don't end up still paying for it in the long run. 

But I think there might be a misunderstanding here - I don't want the taxes raised for this. If it happens I wouldn't be completely opposed, but as Obama's plan is much more in line with the "common defence and general welfare" of the people than the illegal war  - that's not only draining our money, it's taking our skilled resources, killing a decent population of our young, etc while not even going in to how terrible it is for the people we're 'helping' - I support rerouting money from the 'war effort' to the 'education effort'. The military budget for the US is $750 BILLION a year, and quite a bit of that is spent in various Middle Eastern countries - many of which are actively opposed to us being there! - so I think withdrawing $8 billion a year is not unreasonable.

11 questions from one follower to another

christine-connor tagged me and was super sweet about it. :-) Thank you!

Rule 1 : Always post the rules Rule 2 : Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write eleven new ones Rule 3 : Tag eleven people and link them to the post Rule 4 : Actually tell them you tagged them

christine-connor's questions:

1. How has your life been different than what you’d imagined until now?

Hmm, I guess what's most different from what I expected would be relationships and interests. When I was younger, I assumed my family would always get along drama-free, and now I see that we don't. I didn't anticipate ever forming such close friends that I legitimately miss during summer. I also thought writing and drawing was all I'd ever want to do, so any time I find something new that I really like, like history and theater, my view of what I wanna do with my life changes. This is probably all small stuff, but it still manages to surprise me. 

2. What has been the best amusement park you have ever visited and why?

I haven't really been to many amusement parks, but I do remember that I went to and loved Universal Studios in Orlando when I was younger. I remember it had a magical sort of atmosphere, and I think I rode my first loop-de-loop there. 

3. What annoys you about living where you live now?

I live in boring old Delaware- not even the northernmost county, which at least has some stuff going on. There is very, very little to do here. :-[ 

4. If your country was threatened by war, would you go and try to defend it, try to run away with your family, or simply await the outcome of the war?

I think I'd be between the 2nd and 3rd outcome, and that would depend on the scale of the war- if I really felt like my family and I were in danger, I'd probably try to run. Then again, probably some people I'm close to would join the conflict, and I'd want to be there for them. It's a tough question! 

5. What’s the most annoying catchphrase or cliche you can think of?

The oft-used platitude "Everything happens for a reason" usually grates on my nerves a bit, because in my experience, it's usually unsolicited and can be offensive if used about something tragic. I don't agree with the saying, and I think it's used too much/used carelessly. 

6.  Were you ever given a bad recommendation and did it change your opinion of the person who recommended the book/show/anime/movie/etc.?

My opinion didn't really change of my sister when she recommended Twilight to me- it was a godawful recommendation, but I've always known that we like different things, and I couldn't really make any new conclusions about her just because of what books she likes. 

7. If you could influence people like a celebrity does, how would you use it for the benefit of the planet?

The cause I could see myself most advancing is better lives for dogs- I'd try to let people know about and become educated about Breed Specific Legislation- the dumbass policy to ban breeds of dog that completely uninformed people consider dangerous. I'd also try to get people to adopt more senior dogs, more mixed-breeds, and more rescue dogs. They need loving homes, too!

8. Do you think the government puts too little/too much pressure on college in your country?

I think there's too much pressure. It's a lot harder to even get into college anymore, putting a lot of stress on high school kids to cure cancer or the like if they even want a shot at 'having a future'.  Then, there's all the difficulties of finding a job or internship while juggling college-level courses. 

9. What was the strangest dream you ever had?

I used to have a recurring dream every year around Christmastime. Phil from Phil of the Future was in it, and we'd fly around on some sort of hovercraft. But the dream usually ended with me going into my basement, fighting a boss battle against a moving chair, and getting eaten by said chair. 

10.  If you dislike something, do you prefer to make a complaint over the telephone or in person?

I'm more of an over-the-phone kind of complainer. 

11. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I'd like to be more independent- I think the thing that might give me most trouble in life or exasperate the most people around me is that I completely depend on others for almost everything, which I know I can't keep doing. 

My 11 questions:

1. What is your favorite thing about tumblr?

2. What is your least favorite thing about tumblr?

3. If you were in an anime, what existing character and/or character archetype would you want to be? 

4. How would you describe yourself if you were someone else who had a crush on you?

5. Do you think 'blood is thicker than water' in the sense that the phrase is used today? 

6. If you could be any animal, what animal would it be?

7. Ignoring any issues with relationships or money or likelihood, what would your dream job be?

8. Who's one of your favorite characters and why?

9. If you have any original story ideas, what is the world like? If not, what kind of world would you love to see a book/TV show/other media explore?

10. Pokemon, Digimon, neither, or both?

11. Which celebrity would you most want to film a romance scene with?
