  Tell you the truth I could careless how you feel about me.  You are just another peice of shit in the toliet of life.  Oh, and in case you haven't figured it out, I really don't care how many people hate me, talk shit about me or anything.  It is just the internet.  I actually love when people flame me.  It shows that what I do has an effect!  Thank you and have a nice day. 

Didn't your wife leave you?

I just thought I would bring this topic up again because of this new event that happened to Kimbo.

Looks like his career is over.

Did anyone see the speech by Obama at the DNC last night? It was a really good speech and he really hit McCain hard on some of the negative things McCain has said about him. I'm voting for Obama cuz I want change (you've probably heard this from everyone). I'm not sure about each individual state but the economy here in California is suffering badly. People might say that Obama is not ready to lead and that he is inexperienced, but that's exactly what the Republicans said to Bill Clinton back when he was running in 1992, and look what happened to the country. It was probably the best time we had under his leadership. Now McCain is not leaning towards any major change, thus a continuation of Bush's old ways. I'd rather take a chance and go for some change than no change at all.

This is what I'm scared about.  People making assumptions about what they think will happen.  All that I can see a president doing is boosting confidence in the economy and letting other people take care of other matters.  He's a figurehead and if he surrounds himself by good people, then I'll vote for him.  I really don't care one way or the other which party they are from.  I think that both will do a good job of bringing 'change' so I'd rather see someone who has more leadership and better economic views - McCain.

I can't stomach the fact that people who don't pay taxes will get tax returns in the thousands of dollars and that small business owners will be losing a lot of the returns they would normally get.

According to the Statistical Abstract of the United States for 1996, the number of people (white, black, and Hispanic) below the poverty level increased in almost every year between 1981 (31.8 million) and 1992 (39.3 million).

When Reagan took office in 1981, the unemployment rate was 7.6 percent. In the recession of 1981-82, that rate peaked at 9.7 percent, but it fell continuously for the next seven years. When Reagan left office, the unemployment rate was 5.5 percent.

I think this is a much stronger statement.

The trade deficit quadrupled.

War-time: understandable    Boost economies of other nations that we supported against the USSR and also deal in materials for arms and other military things we were building up.

The savings rate did not rise in the 1980s, as supply-side advocates had predicted. In fact, in the 1980s the personal savings rate fell from 8 percent to 6.5 percent. If the median family was better off why did their savings go down?

People having more money and SAVING it in the bank causes savings rates to go down - take economics.  If there is an excess in savings it drives the rate down.

In 1993 Clinton raised the taxes on the rich, the opposite of  Reaganomics, opponents argued that this would stop the growing economy. That did not happen.

Clinton rode the surplus that Reagan created – look at the facts.  Reagan might not have known very much about economics but he surrounded himself with some of the most intelligent and crazy economics people of the time.  The economy takes some time before things change which is apparent in later years.

LOL WUT? They're facts, they aren't biased, just cold hard facts. You claimed one thing, roshan proved another, and what does "caring about this country" have to do with presenting facts?

He’s saying that these are opinions that a person who is most likely not even a professional came up with and put up there for debate.  I think caring about a person’s country is a very nice thing

If you claim everything was fine and dandy with reagan, and then roshan comes up and basically says "no way jose, check these statistics son", then how exactly is his post "out of context?

They are out of context since he is saying that this happened but not explaining why.  Do you know what “out of context” means?

And about your logic not changing, why is that? You say Reagan is jeebus, Roshan poops on your claim, you admit his facts to be true, but still don't change your view or even admit maybe he(reagan) was in the wrong a little bit?

He knows the logic behind economics so his point of view isn’t going to change.  He claims his facts are true because they are – just out of context.

Come now good sir, that's just redonculous.

Redonculous or intelligent?

Word.

Great show of intelligence.



Just my non-liberal two cents.  Barack Hussein Obama - that name scares me.  Wub.

I got bored and I made this.

You don't pay China for the stuff you buy. That money goes to the companies who make the product, the retailers who sell it, and the government, because they say so.

It says "Made in China" because those motherfu*kers will work cheaper than us, so the big corporations take the jobs away from Americans and give them to the Chinese. :/

This guy should teach economics.   

OWNED.



Pr0d1gy needs to fix that hanger.

It's spelled 'country' not 'contry'.  Dutch?
