America is the Great Experiment. What's interesting and most fundamental about the American experiment is exactly how you put it: freedom of speech even when you disagree with it.

That core principle of freedom, originally bound by the moral and religious beliefs of the founders, is what led to its success.

However with the march of progress and the decline of religion and moral core of its people, the inevitable outcome of any such experiment is destruction.

This was the fate of Rome and it will eventually be the fate of America.

There's really only one nation in the world whose blend of both freedom and religious and moral law has stood the test of time.

So here’s the difference:

1) AOC does not have a Master’s degree in Economics, she has a Bachelor’s degree.

2) Mullin holds an associate degree in applied science for plumbing, took over his family’s business and built it into a successful company before entering politics.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The difference is that one person built something with their life using a useful degree to deliver services to someone that needed them.

The other person took money from taxpayers and delivered zero benefit to anyone but herself and now has a professional rain umbrella holder, all paid for by the tax dollars from the plumbers Mullin’s employed.

Hope that helps.

@trad_west_ This was my favorite movie growing up.

Also I should add, if you want to level the playing field a bit between the two shops, then when you order a burger at five guys try to line it up to the double double from In-N-Out.

Alternatively, adjust the toppings to what you want on it (remember this is about how you think a burger should be).

My recommendation on toppings:
- mayo
- ketchup
- lettuce
- onion
- grilled mushrooms

The fundamental question in the classic In-n-out v five guys question boils down to the existential question of what is the right way to make a hamburger.

To understand this question, you need to understand the place hamburgers have in America. If there is one food that is definitive of American experience,it is the hamburger. As children it defines your summers, as a college student it's one of the few foods you can afford that's not cup noodles..

Both In-n-out and five guys are a specific take on the hamburger, but are also done very well. The reason why this debate rages on, is due to a few key differences:

- the way the consumer grew up eating burgers
- the presentation and environment of the meal (both store are designed to remind you of old time burger shops)
- the core philosophy of burger prep (free toppings v set menu)

I won't tell you one way is right or wrong, however I will give you some advice in setting proper criteria for measuring.

It is important to understand that this question is about who you are, it must come from your experience and preference. So try asking yourself the following:

- what makes me feel more at home?
- which experience connects me to my youth?
- which burger tastes like how I think a burger should taste?

I would love to know what you land on as your preferred!

@mattvanswol @buggirl Who is John Galt?

Not sure how you can be a US citizen and not realize that providing classified intelligence to a foreign nation is against the law... Man that lawyer worked one hell of a plea deal.

So.. he's Buddhist.

[Eric Metaxas @ericmetaxas]

BREAKING: Stephen Colbert admits he does not believe the Christian doctrine concerning life after death. He always put himself forward as a Christian, but this is a Buddhist view.

@IMAO_ This is what fear mongering looks like.. *see clip above*

This figure supports the statement that I have repeatedly made, namely that progressive women fuel the infinity pool of Suicidal Empathy.

@harukaawake I thought everyone knew that Temu is the cheap knock off of everything?

@harukaawake One of my Korean friends told me that apparently some of them were even just up there holding brooms.

Incentives explain outcomes.

Actually eliminating hatred would end the existence of “anti-hate” groups, so groups like SPLC amplified hatred instead to get more donations.

@jumpingizn30066 @TheLaurenChen And usually ignorance is a reason to learn, not speak..

[Alex Cain @TwistedSixty4]

@TheLaurenChen Agreed. I saw that all to often growing up homeschooled. My wife and I homeschool to prepare our children, not to protect our children.
