Heh, nice straw man.. "Iraqi WMD" has exactly zero place in this argument. People who are losing arguments tend to do that, though. So I can see why you would do it.
Try less bullshit and more actual argument next time.
It takes about 12-18 months for the effects of tax cuts or raises to show up. All the 'leading economic indicators' are approximately 6 months behind the actual event horizon, as it were.
Four years is a bit long for some things (but yeah, it's conceivable that some policies would take a very long time to take effect), but two is not outside the realm of possibility.
As for a sudden leap, didn't the US economy grow by something like 7% this last quarter? Unemployment will fall, not necessarily sharply, but it will happen.
Too many people have McPatience these days. The economy is not a thing that reacts instantly to anything.
And the stock market is not everything. In fact, it's not much of anything. There's a whole lot more to the equation than the performance of the DJIA.
He's talking about direct democracy, which is not what the US is.
Imagine a Senate or a House where every citizen of the US is a full, actively participating member. Nothing would ever get done. That's why we have representatives, as a proxy.
No, they're the ones who couldn't figure out the difference between 'loose' and 'lose' or 'their', 'they're', and 'there' even if someone was shoving bamboo slivers up their fingernails.

For me, at least, it was ok except for java support - that's the reason I never went back to it.
Obviously they've fixed that now, I'm not saying it's a reason to keep on staying away.. but first impressions are a bitch.

Preemptive, but not unprovoked.
Tuck your hatred back in, it's flapping.

As opposed to all those unknown US ships, I suppose.

Well now we know who's the most anal-retentive.
Chill out, hypersnacky. It was meant as a joke in the first place. Note the 'afterthought' addition of what I was chiding him for..
Here's another one for you to look up: "subtle"

No more caffeine for you this hour =)
Actually, if they're going to break promises, that's a good one to start with.

Who ever gives those places their real addresses? Ah yes, that's right - the people who deserve to get plowed under by spam.

Wtf, you wasted a mod point on this? I bet you don't even know what the conversation is about...
Earth to asshat, Earth to asshat, come in asshat! We've got your clue all fueled up and ready for you...
The first time I heard Chapman in that sketch I thought he'd said "Look, shithead" instead of "Luxury"
Punch cards!? Luxury!
All we had was a patch of dirt outside the front door and a small stick to share among the 7 of us.
Then we got the sandbox. Heaven.
Already got it. I spent a lot of money on caltrops last year.

What a ridiculous assertion. It is most certainly *not* illegal to build any car from parts, or even to make one car look like another.
There is an entire 'kit car' industry, you might want to go have a look at it.

I thought they paid for cable by not buying or wearing t-shirts.

So *that's* what John Romero's been doing recently...
Maybe if you'd just laid down in front of the bulldozer you'd have been alright.
