I would agree with tipping were it not so inconsistent. As the scene amiably points out, why do we feel the need to tip waiters, but not fast food workers, or anyone else in the minimum wage service industry? Also, if tipping is SO essential to the well being of these workers, how are businesses getting away with paying their workers below minimum wage? Especially seeing how strict and rigorous wage laws are in contemporary society.

You see, that's just your gut reaction, because that isn't what I said at all. Part of my point is that you're seeing what I'm trying to say as something different because you automatically make the connection without even knowing it that anyone who talks about equality is a troll who has extremist opinions. No where in my post does it say that first world people don't have problems, it merely states that they have less problems. Ridiculing first world problems isn't talking about 'equality', at least coming from my perception. It's great that you recognize what we're trying to say here, but your OP suggests otherwise. I literally just said that I don't pass judgement of people. Your OP is one big blanket statement of people in the western world. That's a judgement. So what you're trying to say is that you don't want to be labelled as privileged but you also accept that you have privileges? The whole fucking privilege argument is irritating beyond belief. It's basically a blanket statement assuming you have it better off than other people due to basic factors, without ever considering any other kind of extraneous variables. If you want to say I'm more 'privileged' than others, you can. Just don't act like people's problems in the western world are frivolous, because that's what your OP is heavily implying.

Okay now here's a point I wasn't able to address earlier. I'd like you to go back and find where I said or implied that 'I pass judgements on people based on uncontrollable factors. You're shitting me right? Your entire post reeks of "people in first world countries face little to no difficulties and have no right to complain about their life." Go back and edit the OP if you were genuinely trying to come off differently, but that's what it seems like you're trying to convey. You don't have to bother to do that because that was never my opinion. This is my theory about what's going on that seems to be affecting everyone on this forum. You hear someone talk about equality and you automatically, subconsciously link me up with the troll misogynist persona in which you feel threatened that men are somehow going to become oppressed minorities. Uh, no actually. I'm well aware that I, as a white male, certainly have more options in life than others. That doesn't mean to say you, or the SJW for that matter, get to pass judgement on my life in one succinctly smug post over the internet. You don't get to make the call that I am more 'privileged' based on my background and ethnicity. It's disingenuous to me as a person, and I find it affronting. It's ridiculously unrealistic, and it doesn't even have anything to do poverty, but here you are throwing around the usual batch of rehashed insults that have stuck in your head because of a group of skilled trolls. Look what you're saying in response to all I have said: that advocating that people who live in the first world have it easier than those who live in the third world that I must hate those who live in the first world. That's not the issue I have though. My problem is that you're preemptively trying to encapsulate my life based on something as fucking stupid as what country I was brought up in. I'm well aware of the appalling living conditions people have to endure in third world countries, but does that in any way diminish the hurdles and challenges I, or anyone else in the western world have to face? No. It does not. You following me here? I think you and many others here need to readjust their thinking. Irony: the post.

You know, to blithely pass judgements on people because they grew up on a less politically and economically volatile continent is kind of insulting. You really think you can encapsulate me as a person because you can gauge how 'privileged' I am based on the country I grew up in? Fuck off. You don't know me besides this veil of cyber anonymity, and you never will, so don't ever assume that my life is fucking 'privileged' because of a few gutter rats that have it worse off than me due to circumstances that I (or anyone else for that matter) can't ever control.
I think it's time to stop browsing tumblr and lapping up Jay's rhetoric, Dustin.

Nope. They're black Americans. If anybody thinks that's racist they can kiss my ass. That African American bullshit is for people afraid of being labeled racist. They're not first generation immigrants, they've been there since the beginning.
You realize all these programs were STARTED by Bush, right? Dat selective memory.
As for the rest if what you said, it's too stupid to even try and pick apart. He isn't a fascist. He's the democratically elected president of America. Or do you seriously think there's some sort of conspiracy here with all the hatred he gets from ignorant motherfuckers like you and Republitards in office? Do you seriously think a black man is the one pulling all the strings in America? FUCKING LOL
You fascists are really something. You hate him because he's black, then act like HE'S the fascist and wants to make YOU a minority and destroy America. You're terrified that a black man is your president. Absolutely terrified, because you know what your ancestors have done to the blacks, and what you fuckers STILL do today. Good. You deserve to be afraid.
Kinder's a retard but this is getting dangerously close to SJW rhetoric here Challenger...

People I live around are good but they would do the exact same thing. It's how they were raised, it's not their fault. Times were different, it's still acceptable to say the N word where I live. Do I agree with it? No but it was a different time and people can't get past how they were raised.
I'm sorry, but the upbringing argument is not a sufficient argument. Is it acceptable for people raised in Nazi Germany to still be Nazis and adopt a racial supremacist outlook on life because they were "brought up like that"? No. You'd tell them to snap out of that shit because it's a disgusting putrid ideology. Same applies to these mouthbreathers. They were instilled with that shit, so they can just as easily un-instill it.

This is basically the kind of people I live around. Don't get me wrong I love the south but people are blindly conservative and still have the attitudes from the 1950's. They're good people but goddamn ignorant.

There is a correlation between poor performance at school and wealth disparity though, so I'll have to respectively disagree with you there. While something definitely needs to be done about encouraging children from low income backgrounds to perform better at school, whether NUT is the solution for that is up for debate. I wouldn't be so quick to cast aspersions given the good intention behind it.

Sure, they're not as scary as the Third Reich or the USSR, but given how fast they've assimilated huge portions of Iraq and Syria with tactical brilliance illustrates that they're more than just a disorganized "mafia" as you say. We definitely need to be keeping an eye on them.

 Having to be all like "damn, Jamie Curtis, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific androgynous monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both my character and the real me." when all he really wants to do is fuck another 16 year old in his dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Arnold and not only sit in that chair while Jamie Lee Curtis flaunts her disgusting body in front of you, the favourable lighting barely concealing her stretchmarks and leathery skin, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that dance. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone on set tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, JAMIE LEE CURTIS LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of blondes and supermodels and later alleged rape victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Austria. You've never seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in her "statuesque" (for that is what she calls herself) "beauty," the beauty she worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Arnold. You're not going to lose your future political career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

>implying you need a central bank
Panama has the ninth-most reliable financial system in the world.
It's similar to some of the BRIC countries though. It may have a fast growing economy but that doesn't make it sunshine and rainbows for everyone. A quarter of the population still live under poverty.

You're shitting me right?
An independent Scotland can forget about the strength of the fucking pound. The three main political parties have explicitly ruled out a currency union. Borrowing the pound without an agreement – like Panama borrows the dollar and Montenegro borrows the euro – would mean Scotland would not have a central bank to set interest rates or protect financial institutions and pensions. Who knows what Salmond's plan B is for a secondary currency, but with less than two weeks to go until the referendum, being unaware of what type of currency we'd be using isn't exactly enticing me to vote Yes.
As part of the UK, Scotland currently benefits from public spending per person that is around 10% higher than the UK average. This funds vital public services like health, schools and police in Scotland. If it became independent, a separate Scotland would have a larger deficit than the UK and the Scottish Government would have to raise taxes and cut spending on essential services.
I tend to forget about the flag waving and patriotism for a couple minutes when I'm contemplating the future and social security of my country. I consider Independence to be a big black veiny cock waiting to shoot it's load into the bosom of Scotland's economy, and I'll be damned before fishface drives our country into the dirt.

Most Scots want to back out because they're pissed off about how New Labour & the Tories have been running things. OP is just cherry-picking from his retarded facebook friends.
Say what you will about whether or not this is a good idea, but you can't help but sympathize with the Yes vote.
From a purely patriotic and tug at your heart strings nationalist standpoint, it seems like a fantastic idea. From an economic and institutional viewpoint, it's fucking retarded.

You know, by establishing all these bullshit SJW terms and alienating white people, she's only just furthering the issue of race but in a different direction.
It's obvious she's not really against racism and just has an anti hardon for Caucasians, because real non racists look at people individually via their qualities and merits, and not through the race lens or any other irrelevant bullshit factor for that matter.
