  1. What's your point? Great book and the content of this thread is a huge let down after reading the title of it. I should have looked who started it before I got excited That quote applies more to the Bush Administration or the Soviet Union btw.
  2. the sample size in your example is a little small that was 1961 before black people were citizens
  3. and that lmgtfy link didn't explain anything
  4. but instead... only Fox News would call it bloody murder now because they changed their format from Fox State News Channel, supporting the President and his administration in everything they do including violating the constitution; to Fox Opposition Party News criticizing how the President has a deep seeded hatred for white people and sends unlawful emails i mixed up where spending goes. but anyway, does grandma or grandpa deserve to die because they can't afford to fund the profit margins that drug companies like to see? and of course education spending is a black hole when you make rules like: "failing schools that need funding can't get funding until they stop failing" and of course you don't just chuck more money at problems to fix them, but money is necessary. was GHW Bush wrong when he raised taxes because of how much Reagan fucked our budget (or his advisors, I am not sure how many decisions he actually made for himself considering he probably had early symptoms of Alzheimer's towards the end of his presidency)? no, he had to do it and lucky for the democrats for the 92 election he "lied," Clinton was elected and was able to build on what Bush did to balance the budget, too bad it's the other way around this time and for some reason I foresee Sarah Palin making it a priority to get stealth fighters and bombers for an Alaskan bear patrol privately employed by a gov't think-tank right?
  5. i wonder what else he is selling... (neutral feedback) confiscated by customs Buyer: 7177dalton ( 115 [Feedback score is 100 to 499] ) Jan-24-09 15:58 -- (#130273939536)
  6. and cutting spending leaves your country impotent in many areas. for example, if you cut education spending you end up with a less educated population less capable of performing skilled jobs in areas that require higher intellects. if you cut spending on public safety, crime goes up, more people die in house fires or whatever. cut health care spending and more people die because ambulances couldn't get to them or 911 lines were busy, or there weren't any hospital beds. however, this country certainly does waste a ton of money on the military when it could be spent much more efficiently, perhaps on flack jackets for troops in afghanistan instead of the F-22 Raptor program and so forth. unless the terrorists get 5th generation air superiority fighters of course.
  7. the government is broke, we are on China's credit plan. more taxes = helps pay off national debt and helps to minimize any deficit or maybe even turn it into a surplus like... oh yeah, the last democratic president was able to do. not saying we don't need to make more changes, and maybe cutting free saturday delivery is a start for the usps. but higher taxes would help our situation. obama was bullshitting when he said we could cut taxes in the situation we are in.
  8. I saw a show on the History Channel called Automobiles and they did a show about Volvo where I learned about this! Good stuff. Another fun fact: Every time a Volvo is involved in an accident on a Swedish highway or road, an accident investigation team is sent by Volvo to study how their car performed in the crash.
  9. I think you meant to say "who" The USPS stuff was probably shipped at the slowest speed! I was raving about Priority Mail; Parcel Post/Media Mail sucks! that's chump change compared to the entire gov't the airlines were all bankrupt at one point and they're all private and up and running... it goes both ways when our economic system sucks i wouldn't mind paying extra taxes in return for a more efficient and better funded gov't
  10. I think you meant to say "whom" and I have never had a problem with the post office that I haven't also had with a private parcel company. USPS is superior when it comes to coast to coast shipping IMO (2 days for under $10). So even with all these problems, they do their job and I don't notice a difference in service. What's your point?
  11. every time i say arod sucks he hits a home run :lol:
  12. haven't you ever driven north of Deleware? or are you one of those people who avoids NJ at all costs
  13. after felipe massa's crash i am sure team ferrari loved watching this
  14. cool my friend was a couple blocks away from Montrose and Western off of the Brown line
  15. Awesome! Chicago is a great town. I was just there visiting a friend in Lincoln Park on the northside, where did you settle down?
  16. Military health care for active duty soldiers is pretty good. I never had problems with it when I was a dependent; it was pretty much socialist health care. The government knows how to do socialist health care, they just royally effed up with the VA hospital system.
  17. again salary and sick leave benifits ftw, hourly job for minimum wage ftl however, working over time and then calling out sick in the same week and then getting your paycheck with only overtime(1.0x salary) ftl
  18. sarcasm I don't look to Stalin, Mao, Kim, or Ho for examples of idealistic utopias I would prefer a socialist nightmare like Norway, Sweden, or Denmark
  19. i have the lifetime free alignments at Firestone but I go to a goodyear place for wheel balancing because the people at this particular firestone suck at it.
  20. who says socialism is bad? from what i have read in the new york times, i think i like china's version: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/30/world/asia/30jilin.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&hp it's like everything you people hate about communism and everything i hate about capitalism in the same boat! how can we go wrong!?
  21. I figured there was nothing intentional, I just read it as your words before I looked up where the soldier was fighting and saw who said it. It just changes how I interpret the statement a little and figured it might do the same for others. No harm no foul!
