    You can leave the country. Its getting to the point where the most patriotic thing you can do is find a country that more aptly fits American ideals than the US does.

    Really? Eclipse has the keyboard shortcuts for common functions right there in the menu. That allows you to naturally learn the shortcuts and use the program more quickly. VS does not and their keyboard shortcuts are barely documented at all. The eclipse interface is also more customizable.

    The only real advantage that VS has is that its drag and drop GUI creation toolkit is built in, instead of using a plugin.

    The US likes them because they are profitable, and as private organizations they are exempt from oversight.

    Care to point at some sources? Last I checked, congress still has that exclusive power, though there was talk that if congress failed, an executive order might be used to save the country.

    Point of contention, Eclipse is in some better than Visual Studio. Not saying Visual Studio is bad, it isn't. It is top of the line, but eclipse is also top of the line.

    It may work on the occasional need, but they are expensive, and relying on them regularly costs a crap ton of money. Same as black water.

    That is a bald faced lie.

    The interest on the national debt is only 8% of the budget and our budget is ~23% (I don't recall the exact figure but that is one I have seen thrown around recently) of our GDP. If we put 100% of our GDP into paying off the debt, it would be gone in a couple months at the most.

    The quadrant 3 of arctan can be closely approximated by an exponential function.

    Humans are not growing exponentially. Look at the replacement rates of western nations. Japan has negative growth, Europes growth is sustained by immigration and America is very close to that as well. As standards of living increase around the world, so too should their growth fall. Eventually we should stabilize in the 10 to 14 billion range. While challenging, that is a sustainable population if we take advantage of sufficient solar energy production and alternative farming techniques.

    The hell? How does having children damage the planet? Are you suggesting that people are not a part of the planet and should go extinct? That is utter bullshit. Overpopulation isn't the problem you think it is, most of the western world is already reproducing below the replacement rate and depend on immigration, except for japan who are instead trying to use robots. Human population will plateau no higher than 10 to 12 billion.

    Those are conservative democrats and the rest are regressive republicans. A liberal progressive advocates freedom, transparency, justice and security. Just because you have used these words as insults with a corrupted meaning does not change the fundamental meaning of those words.

    Default is not inevitable, we can balance the budget, but if we only do a short term debt limit increase the US AAA rating will drop and cost the US another 100 billion a year in interest, making it that much harder to balance the budget in the future. That is what Obama is trying to do. The republicans in the senate are holding our govornment hostage and their only offer is an extra trillion dollars in debt over the next 10 years.

    If we don't collapse economically thanks to the US senate, there is some small hope that justice and liberty can be restored in time. America needs a valid liberal progressive party instead of the conservative democrats and regressive republicans.

    Where did I get it from? The news, the press releases, the papers, everyone except for right wing propaganda machine echo chamber.

    This is the first time I have felt compelled to call them anti-American traitors. This is the first time that they are in a position to actually irrecoverably destroy America. And yet, they have been calling me that my entire life, just for not being a fanatical right wing thug. To paraphrase: There are 4 boxes to use in defense of liberty, the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box and the ammo box. I have for too long ignored the 1st because I was to busy and I dared to have faith in my fellow countrymen. The 2nd and 3rd box have failed and my faith was misplaced. Now I speak and I don't care if its crude, it is the truth and the urgency is too great.

    It makes it very clear he is unwilling to sacrifice the US AAA credit rating that Moody, S&P and the other banks controlling say will happen if the debt limit is increased for only the short term. That will add a hundred billion in interest costs to the US budget per year while forcing investments to flee overseas and resulting in a financial catastrophe as bad as the great depression.

    I am an American patriot. I judge the value of a candidate based on how well he will defend America and its noble ideals. Obama has failed horribly in that regard. The US patriot act is still under way, as is illegal torture, as is the continued erosion of peoples civil liberties. On the other hand, he isn't trying to end America. And yes, the republicans in congress are anti-american traitors and I feel no shame in telling that uncomfortable truth.

    Dems tend to tax and spend, neocons tend to debt and spend. One of these things is more responsible than the other.

    The recent focus of debt by the neocons is nothing but a power play, to play chicken with ending america because they think that obama and the democrats will take the blame for the crisis they caused and cave to their will because the dems give a damn about the future of the country.

    As a patriot, I have to say the republicans in the senate are traitors.
