How would you have any idea what my knees are doing when your head is planted firmly up your ass? You spout propaganda that was debunked over 25 years ago and you're going to be called on it.
I'm not a republican, sunshine.
And you think adopting their talking points makes you a winner, scooter?
You know, it's that asinine class-warfare rhetoric
That's Republican for "if you point out we're engaging in class warfare on the middle and lower classes, we'll accuse you of class warfare first!" Or as Stephen Colbert put it, reality has a well known liberal bias. Case in point: David Stockman, Reagan's OMB director admitted that:
"I mean, Kemp-Roth [Reagan's 1981 tax cut] was always a Trojan horse to bring down the top rate.... It's kind of hard to sell 'trickle down.' So the supply-side formula was the only way to get a tax policy that was really 'trickle down.' Supply-side is 'trickle-down' theory."
your tax burden grows, year after year, under democrats and republicans both.
Ah yes, who cares if the national debt increases by ten grand per American citizen every few years as long as the taxes stay low?
Not quite. The debt is due to spending more than revenues.
And is the #1 reason that happened? Gigantic tax cuts.
The tax cuts have had the effect of increasing revenues by promoting economic growth.
Income tax cuts only stimulate growth if they go to the middle and lower classes. As most of the Reagan and all of the Bush tax cuts have benefited the rich, the economic growth in no way makes up for the mountains of debt those cuts have saddled us with.
This is how a cop can pull you over for a burnt out license plate light and search your car. Then he uses the evidence found in the trunk that everyone else was sure didn't exist before opened it as evidence against you. I know it sound petty but do you see how easy it is to get probable cuase?
He can't search your car unless you give (or a tricked into giving) consent for a search, the cop has probable cause that you are committing a crime, or if he spots something inside the car to prompt a search (like a big bag of chiba).
It was indeed Ben Franklin, and for all his usual wisdom, he was full of crap when he said that.
Somebody is full of crap here, but it's not Ben. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say you have the liberty to hurt others and put them in danger. For example, driving while drunk or bringing bombs onto planes. As opposed to having your bank records searched or your telephone calls taped without a warrant.
I would like to give them credit for various tax cuts that happened during and since the Reagan administration, but since the congress also enacted those taxes in the first place, it's a wash.
Too bad those tax cuts gave us national debt in the trillions, and thus the largest tax increase in history. It's just a matter of when it goes into effect.
Guess you don't live in Iraq, right? That's what WE do there. Hasn't stopped the Iraqi insurgents now, has it? Or do you think half a million dead Iraqis since 2003 were all killed by the "insurgents"? Dream on.
I'm sorry, but just how thick are you? Iraq is EXACTLY what I'm talking about, AND NO THAT IS NOT WHAT WE DO THERE. The Army isn't going to call in an air strike on a hospital or a school and kill hundreds of civilians to get at the two idiots firing AK-47's from the roof. Brownshirts wouldn't care. Brownshirts also wouldn't be patrolling city streets to protect civilians, which is where most of the ambushes occur and where most of our casualties come from.
Maybe, but those guys are third stringers, and there have been other "Hunters" after Kraven. Norman stayed dead for about 25 years, and he was Spider-Man's all time worst enemy, along with Doc Ock. I got this from the wikipedia page, along with a tidbit that continues the vicious cycle of me thinking that Marvel has hit rock bottom, only to find out they've dug the hole even deeper. Namely, that Norman Osbourne had an affair with Gwen Stacey, and knocked her up. With twins. O. M. F. G.
Sorry to disappoint, but Dell's responsibility is to its shareholders and, by extension, its customer base.
Yes, they do, which is why this is bullshit. You have customers wanting to buy something from you that is going to cost you virtually nothing? Then its your due diligence as a business to do it. If you think support is the issue, I'm sure Red Hat or Suse would be happy to do it for less than the cost of supporting Windows + a copy of Windows.
The US armed forces are discovering in Iraq that armed citizens are no joke.
This argument is the joke.
Go look at the "Baghdad sniper" video and how easy it is to pick off some US moron standing around with a sign on him saying, "I'm a moron! Shoot me!" - or any of a dozen checkpoint bomb videos where any number of US morons are standing around with signs on them saying, "I'm a moron! Blow me up!"
Those "morons" are trying to defend civilians and infrastructure while trying to minimize civilian casualties. A fascist regime isn't going to give a shit about that - your troops are getting shot at from a large apartment complex? They'll just call in the coordinates and turn the place into a parking lot with artillery or an air strike. See a suspicious van approaching the base of an important bridge? Take it out with a machine gun and find out later if it was carrying a family on their way into town or a suicide bomber attacking the bridge.
I was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving because MY LIGHTS WEREN'T ON!
Then he pulls you over for NOT HAVING YOUR LIGHTS ON, you dumbass. Not having your lights on at night is a tickitable offense in and off itself, to which the officer can add on reckless driving. Same as speeding.
Now, if I showed the attitude you do, I'd probably had the whole 9 yards shot at me.
"Attitudes" like this got us the Bill of Rights. Ankle grabbers like yourself get us the Patriot Act, NSA wiretapping, waterboarding and a fascist executive branch.
OK, and that refutes the 99.5% of the times that police action is proper AND correct?
Aha ha, ah ha. Ha. Thanks for the good laugh, my anckle grabbing friend. Go check PoliceAbuse.org, one of their main actions is to send people into police departments and ask for lists of employees or for a form to complain about an officer. You can do this without having to provide an explanation or an ID. The police departments that follow the rules on these requests are the exception, not the rule.
You condemn the entire system because of that?
I'm not condeming anything, I'm being realistic. You take any group of people, put them in alternatly very stressful and very boring jobs, don't pay them very much and give them a great deal of authority, sooner or later that authority will be abused. And even if 99.5% of cops are good apples, 100% of them will lie to cover up for that other.5% unless they go so far over the line that they can't see it anymore, like the cop that got turned in by other cops for shoving a broomstick up the ass of an innocent man.
Got news for you, my friend - you'll never find ANYTHING that's always perfect.
So we should just STFU and take our illegal stops and searches like meek little lemmings? Police officers wield power that the rest of us do not, and are necessarily held to a much higher standard. You yourself said a cop pulled you over for being drunk when you were stone cold sober. Stop being a tool.
Seriously, at least in the US if you are afraid of the police, stop and ask why? Chances are it's either irrational, or you know you're doing something that you should not.
Americans want Socialism without giving up their illusion of the "self made man". They want medicaire, medicaid, social security, guaranteed jobs, government loads for businesses, lots of cops, etc. But DON'T tell them it is Socialism.
Because they've been fed constant propaganda that "socialism" is a synonym for "discredited".
Yes, those double standards. If you're a Democrat, you can get impeached for getting a blowjob. If you're a Republican and your fuckups lead to the deaths of about 7,000 Americans and you add a couple trillion dollars to the national debt, there aren't even calls to resign. What a funny world we live in.
They killed Aunt May? Damn that is a shame. Not that they killed the bitch off, but they brought her back.
Oh, you have no idea. First, on Norman: Spider-Man's most deadly enemy, would do anything to hurt/kill him, etc etc. Stabbed himself through the heart with his own goblin glider, but now we find out that he regenerated and has been hiding out in Europe for five years. Riiiight. At least when they brought back Doc Ock from the land of the dead, they put a little more effort into it: he was resurrected by the Hand.
Now, Aunt May had died of cancer during the Spider Clone storyline. Now, how does John Bryne bring her back? Norman kidnapped May and replaced her....with a clone. And it was the clone that got cancer and died. And this is why you should give John Bryne a slap in the face and a kick in the nuts if you ever run into him.
Well last time I checked the vampires where back. Capt. America maybe pushing up daisys this week but they will dig is moldy carcuss up, stick a flower in his button hole, and milk his ass for all he is worth. Once they realize they can make a buck off this jackass.
They already did that about ten years or so ago. Cap had some degenerative disease, and "died". Buried and everything. They brought him back by having the Red Skull give him a complete blood transfusion.
Write that down on a piece of paper. Put it away until 2012. When, not if, the Dems take the House, Senate, and Presidency in 2008, they'll get to use all the tools Bush put in place for them. And you'll find out just how wrong you were. (You'll know how we former Bush supporters feel now.)
Bullshit. Bush is by far the worst president in at least living memory, stop trying to rationalize it with "Democrats are just as bad" arguments. I say again: Nader was an idiot for spouting that in 2000, and that was before all of Bush's fuckups and shenanigans.
I was similarily pissed when John "fucktard" Bryne bought back Norman Osbourne, the *one* bad guy that actually stayed dead. Oh, and brought back Aunt May, who had died of cancer. And got rid of the kid Green Goblin, because now that Norman was back, we couldn't have two Green Goblins running around, now could we?
You're either an idiot, 10 years old, or just have amnesia. The Democans are just the same as the Republicrats.
Nader was a complete fucking idiot for saying that six years ago, before My Pet Goat, Katrina, Iraq, waterboarding, wiretapping, etc etc. Saying there's no difference now makes Nader, as incredibly stupid as he was at the time, look like a genius by comparison.

I like comics. I hate Marvel. I quit reading for the most part after that fucktard John Byrne got rid of the kid Green Goblin, brought back Norman Osbourne, the one comic book bad guy that actually stayed dead, and brought back Aunt May after she died from cancer in one gloriously shitty storyline.
In other words, you've decided on the facts you like
Um, no. Those ARE the facts, and you ARE too damn lazy to do 2 seconds of Googling. It's a fact that chemical and bilogical weapons degrade over time. It's a fact that a 20 year old chemical warhead is no longer a weapon of mass destruction if it is completely incapable of causing mass destruction. It's also a fact that Bush sold the Iraq invasion as a war of necessity based on the imminent threat of WMD's. Not even neocons in the Bush administration try to argue these points anymore, so why are you?
Your post only proves my point. Congratulations.
Your post proves that you are an idiot. A very lazy idiot. But hey, somebody likes you: propagandists who try to make the appearance of conroversy where none exists, like Intelligent Design or global warming.
I'm a U.S. citizen, living in North Dakota, and go to Winnipeg fairly often. Never used to have problems with Canadian customs, until I made the mistake of saying "eh?" back to the girl at the booth. Big mistake - I think she put me on some kind of list, as our car has been searched every time since then.:)
