Calm down. I never said bars invented it. I was countering that it is not a term used by people holed up drinking busch beer in their dorms. Your words, not mine.

Edit: I said it’s a strategy to get people to drink more, and from your previous statement you again are agreeing with me. Thank you.

Why don't you look it up on urban dictionary, or just google it what it means and see pretty much everyone saying the exact same thing? Or just ask some people you know? The first documented commercial use was in the 80s for some random minor league team. Ask someone who went to college before then. Hell, my dad graduated PC in the 60s and he knew that shit.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but bars didn't invent that either. That was someone (possibly Susanna Hoffs) noticing Sun and Fun rhyme.

Oh, and it's "sure, Jan" - I'd be harsher about this cause you're snarkily trying to type a dismissive animated gif to me but at this point I'm just proud of you for not declaring that it was from the fucking partridge family too

If it weren't for undocumented people who pay into our social security and are unable to receive benefits, it would have 13 billion dollars less. Source: https://www.marketplace.org/2019/01/28/undocumented-immigrants-quietly-pay-billions-social-security-and-receive-no/amp/

Additionally undocumented folks have no access to health insurance, unemployment benefits, social security, retirement benefits, car and home loans or federal financial aid. What money other than emergency services (which we provide for anyone) do we pay for undocumented people?

Also do you know how one can migrate to this country legally? Show me a pathway to permanent residency that is available to anyone that isn't already wealthy.

There is no reason people cannot legally immigrate. Illegal aliens should not be a thing..not.one penny of taxpayers money should be spent on illegals when we have citizens who need assistance. Its not our job to absorb every lay-out who can make it to the border. Immigration should benefit the host country.

My childhood friends uncle said fuck it and went and lived in the woods. He wasn't crazy or on drugs just didn't want any responsibility. Didn't want a job. Didnt want a place to live that required having a job to pay for. I don't have an answer for the people who choose to be like that.
