howdy today sir friendly-fenix! well sir, you're broke if you just have 273 sp under the new rc system. Yes sir, it takes a bunch to even do a handful of commenting unfortunately. It ain't fair that's for sure. That's why anyone new is going to have to have funds to put in or find some generous people to help them.
I do alot of commenting but I had to get over 1,000 sp and even then my vote at 100% is only worth 2 cents! So it's frustrating, I think that's why so many people have moved to weku or someplace.
As far as Mexico, yeah I don't know who the new guy is, I hope he helps to improve things, I personally don't see any threat from Mexicans coming over like they always have, it's the Central Americans that we don't need hordes of coming here. I feel really bad for some of them but it's not our responsibility to take care of them if their own country has problems. We're in debt up to our eyeballs and can't afford to take care of ourselves properly, let alone the rest of the world.
