I have seen a few of his appearances, and I must admit I am quite impressed with this guy. Then again maybe is that after 2.5 yrs of Mr. Bush my expectations for POTUS have been dramatically lowered.
Lets see... US total det: 6 trillion
US GDP 10 Trillion
(2002 figures)
almost 60%, only matched by a few 3th world countries. Yeah, no worries right?
Phew.... The incas had 1's and 0's??????

Nah, When I was growing up, we only had 0's... them Incas had it so easy.... That's right we only had unary, and we did not complain. Oh, and we had to walk uphill through the rain forrest in the snow to reach the pyramid, and it was uphill both ways... and we had no shoes.
Ohhh poor child, one day you will get it. You are still too innocent and unspoiled, don't let poster's like the parent of this thread take that from you....
Tzzzzz wrong. People like you love to spew the useless "theories" for the whole taxation reduction of the upper earners. Funny thing how math works, look at the real figures (those percentages are bogus and you know that).
The fallacy is that when you are in a lower earning braket ANY money substraced for taxes is far more noticeable. I.e. you make $1000 a month and you have to pay $100. So you are left with $900.00. However if you are making $100,000.00 a month ane you are paying $20,000 (assuming some crazy "burden on the rich" which is usually bogus, because the rich are rich because they can pay accountants to find loopholes). That leaves you with a meager $80,000 per month. I mean those assholes with $900.00 per month do not know how f'king hard it is to get by with 80K a month!
So yeah, keep on with the same falacy... that is not going to stop us from reminding you that you are full of BS.
The American dream has nothing to do with low taxes btw.
" Yeah, people are really worried about the long term ability of the US to pay its deb"
Acutally they are, why with continuous tax cuts under the Bush administration. People who are investing in dollars are getting the signal that the US is in no hurry to pay its debt. Therefore they are funneling all their money into Euros, because they can liquify their investment quicker when dealing with the European Central Bank. The federal reserve can not guarantee the current issuing of debt to 3th parties. And that is a fact, most Americans are unaware of how capitalism works, and that is quite sad.
Look at it this way, you have a "friend" who just asked you for money. At the same time you find out that he is buying a brand new car, house, stereo, whatever. And at the same time you have found out htat his employment status has been demoted from branch manager to the guy that has to flip the burgers. So common senes tells you that his income has been dramatically reduced, while his expenses have skyrocketed. Just after you find out (and he is making no effort to hide these facts in fact he is quite proud of his new lower position in the workplace and he drives his shinny porche everywhere), your friend comes asking you for more money even though he still has not payed back hte money he borrowed before. Mind that during the same time you have had to deal with a much more tight budget for yourself, i.e. you have to drive your old crappy car and you do not want to buy much stuff (you like to keep you bank balance in check).... so tell me: Will you lend more money to your friend?
The US is sadly setting itself for some rude awakening. Then again, welcome to capitalism... now that people have an alternative to the dollar, the US economy may have to actually get real! The US really has nothing to back up the inmense debt staked against its currency. The only reason why the US was getting away with it for so long was because it was the defacto trading currency, hence people had to support the dollar (even though they were not too happy to do it), but now... there is an alternative. Buh bye monopoly, now there is a real competition.
If you are still thinking like the money traders of the 80's and before, you are setting yourself for a massive reality check. Fine with me though...
Nevermind that those are normal chemical hazard protection suits, like hum... I dunno, the ones they use in refineries and such. And, sine Iraq has no oil or anything like that.... right?
Oh, yeah... and if by "large numbers" you mean dozens, yeah.. I guess they had a massive amount of chemical weapons. Furthermore if the presence of chemical protections suits is an indicator of WMD production and threat... the US should focus on a more important enemy: DOW chemicals, or Intel... I guess those bunny suited engineers that were dancing on those silly commercials were evil after all...
Of course, we all must throw our common sense out of the window, since a psychopath dictator who kills for export and who has "massive" stockpiles of chemical and germ agents and who is targeted by large US bunker buster bombs, all of the sudden decides not to use them. Jeeez, if when your country is invaded by a superior fighting force and all of the sudden you decide to keep your best weapons for a better time? WTF?!

Some of us actually USE twm, it was one of the original WM, and in no way it is included "for testing" It is included because it works (tm). Think of twm as the vi of window managers... almost every X capable machine comes with it... so it is always handy to know about it.
Plus it pretty much does everything a window manager needs to do:)
And never mind that it was the French who helped us in getting rid of the British. Oh, yeah that whole statue of Liberty thing.
Oh, right... so basically we are trying to bring democracy to Iraq, but we do not tolerate dissent on such decision. Yup, it sound totally democratic to me!
BTW. All those people who were laughing at the French, have no idea of how much we owe to them (in the same manner they owe to us), they have never purchased French products (no French fries are not actually made in France, duh!), and at the same time they laugh at French courage... their little bitch asses have never experienced a war (no, playing FPS on your computer doesn't count as actual battle experience)... and I would like to see them laugh at French courage in front of a platoon of French Legionaires... yeah, see how much fun those "surrender monkeys" have kicking your ass. Remember who rescued all those American school children a few years ago from central Africa, no it was not the super duper US special forces... it was *gasp* the French.

Europe's country with the fastest muslim growth among their population is... tadaaaaaaa: The United Kingdom. So there, good luck and bon voyage on your quest to invade your best buddies, I am pretty sure they will appreciated that.
Nope Rumsfeld visit was state funded, he was Mr. Reagan envoy to the area. Basically to let him know how much the US was enjoying the little Iran-Iraq conflict... and what did Iraq need to keep the "good" fight. Remember in those days Saddam was a good guy, much like Osama Bin Laden.
"while the U.S. accounted for less than 1% of all arms sales to Iraq."
Haaha hahha hahah hahaah buuahahaha hahhahah. Good one mate. I needed a laugh, of course you have to ignore the massive quantities of nerve and biological agents funneled into Iraq by US sources. And well if you want to talk about providing training and technology to roge states, we can alaways ask who trained and armed Mr. Osama Bin Laden. Was it the French? Hum... nope.
As late as 1998 Mr. Chenney was doing business with Iraq for over $25M via his beloved Haliburton. Quite interesting that one of the guys that claimed Saddam was such a scum bag that needed to be stopped did in fact help that douche bag to rebuilt Iraq infraestructures (well oil producing sturctures anyways... which is what the US was interested in after all). I guess Mr. Cheney just decided to cut the middle man and get the oil directly.
Oh, right... the Frenchies are the evil ones. Because the US has never sold weapons to nobody, rigth? The US is the largest weapons manufacturer in the world, who do you think they sell their tock to the girl scouts?
Well, I still do not know why you used Touring completness for your example... I assume you are just reading about it in school, eh?

Obviously you have no idea about those "natives" First off, that term is not of their making, in fact they much rather be labeled by their tribal naming, but that would mean that you as a poor white boy would have to learn something about them. And oh, gosh... that would be just too much to ask for.
So let me get this straight, the white men came... stole some else's land. You either massacred or displaced those "natives", then they have to live in reservations. Which are the worst pieces of land, the ones that had no use for the white man. And then you come bitching how the Indians are stealing precious farming land from the poor white trash inmigrants? Then you label them as Indians, then as native americans, and then you bitch about how they dare to use the term "native"?
Go on and read on the trail of tears, and let me know about their "thefts." Nowadays Indian reservations have the highest rate of poverty, infant mortality rate, etc. than any where in the US. And they are sitting in some of the worst pieces of land in the US, some of them had to sit near nuclear disposal sites!!! WTF? For you that is primo real state?
Ignorance is bliss I guess.What is next, how black people took over the ghettoes from the poor white inmigrants? Yeah, they have the best piece of real state those bastards!!!
