Summarizing the Obama Administration.

[Will.]

He's boned.

[tagnostic]

rofl
could you be more specific?
:icon_lol:

[Will.]

Hes sitting in through the BP Crisis, he has the expectations of being the first black president, He hasn't really done anything, and its freaking mid term.

[tagnostic]

wait!
wheres all that
he's gonna save the world?
I was told he was the Messiah

oh crap,
piss on me
for predicting this

too hammered to
look up the archives
which seem to be misplaced


anyone want to find pre-election posts?

Rimmer, king of archives want to help me out?

[rzm61]

Change! Change! Change!

Can we change the ocean from blue to black/brown?

YES WE CAN!

[tagnostic]

se puede'

[Rimmer]

Kinda screwed considering I deleted all my posts. Too lazy to look through your impossible-to-understand ones. >_>

[tagnostic]

hehehehe
look for
megs

[gman]

he is arrogant and the change you get, will not be the change you want.

everything he touches will end up going bad for the US and freedom (this is why i am undecided over in the net neutrality thread) i dont trust him or his government

[Dr-Shade]

what alot of people seem to be forgetting, is that people as a WHOLE... DO NOT LIKE CHANGE!!!!

We in NZ are having some similar issues at the moment with our new government, and the reality is, that if everything is done instantly, the population rebels.... So most governments have a tendancy to change things by slow degrees, over many years...
Meaning that... on top of the MANY MANY years it takes to adequatly plan a massive change to MILLIONS OF LIVES.... they also need to implement these plans VERY slowly to not shock the population of their countries...

Unfortunatly the general population do not understand this, and governments are usually voted out halfway through trying fixing the mess they inherited... Beginning the process yet again...

In saying this however... i really do not agree with obama's
"Spend ourselves out of debt" philosophy (at least it seems like thats what he's thinking) and think he is a little slow in thinking that would work for a nation, when it doesn't work for an individual person :icon_lol:

[Will.]

What could you expect? Good chaange? No. The only reason police officers and politicians don't approve of illegal tender is because of A, the owner probably doesn't vote and B, because of A probably doesn't pay taxes for it.

So what I'm saying is.... You as a nation, Do not care, We the proud Canuckistan are going to be targeting, Montana, Washington, and maybe Mexico, as new settlements we will call Astum, Wn'chsk, and Atim.

[tagnostic]

your more than welcome
to take washington
and mexico
montana we're kind of fond of

[Will.]

All we can hope for from the next Black president is that hes either athletic, or funny... Chris Rock?

[tagnostic]

Will Smith
Men in Black
at least we'd
get some aliens
from somewhere
besides Mexico

[Will.]

... O.J? Funny and athletic!

[tagnostic]

just give him a knife
and send him to Iraq

[rzm61]

All we can hope for from the next Black president is that hes either athletic, or funny... Chris Rock?

Fuck man, he would have been such a better candidate.

[tagnostic]

Morgan Freeman
he can handle
anything

[Will.]

How about god damn! Samuel, god damn Jackson?

[tagnostic]

Bill Cosby

[Sister Faith]

Bill Cosby

Ya! Bill Cosby could have plugged that leaky off shore oil well single-handed with just one pudding pop no sweat...er. :icon_lol:

[tagnostic]

nah!
bill would have
just explained
to it that it was
wrong to pollute

[Will.]

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

Barrack Hussein Obama, has put Stanley "Oh shit" McChrystal out to pasture and brought in David Patreus...The fuck? its the same thing but now you're paying a big retirement package and the new guys salary....

Bloody hell..

[Kokoba]

we're all boned.

but i'd rather Barack Obama pilot the Boned Express than John McCain.

[tagnostic]

i don't want any of them
i wanted ron paul
and romney

[Will.]

I want George Lucas... Because you'd think "Everything could be alright" then you'd find out the White house blew up a long time before he was in office and any news of it you seen was actually of a miniature white house.... That appeared in star wars briefly.

[tagnostic]

Jack Ryan
(harrison ford)
he's got more
experience than
Obummer

[OfficerFriendly]

i liked the obamas until recently:(

[tagnostic]

He's ruining
my Country

[Will.]

Can we make it any harder to be a proud American?
YES WE CAN!

..... Ahem... Sorry about that..... No really. :shrug:

[rzm61]

we're all boned.

but i'd rather Barack Obama pilot the Boned Express than John McCain.

I still say Ron Paul.

[Tsar Phalanxia]

Get rid of the Gold Standard/End the Fed thing, and he'd be a better choice than most Republicans.

[rzm61]

OH HI TSAR!

Nice of you to join us.
I was expecting more of a rant from you.

[Tsar Phalanxia]

OH HI RZM :D

I've mellowed out over the past year, so I don't really do rants anymore. Just sorta chilled out, y'know, both politically and socially. And it's all been without the help of cannabis, funnily enough.

[tagnostic]

we got rid of the gold standard
thats part of the problem
getting rid of the fed i totally concur
sorry, but 1.3 trillion debt in 18 mos
is not my idea of good management

Good to See ya Tsar

[rzm61]

You started toking?! :icon_razz:


Well anyway welcome to the (sub)culture. :D
But I noticed, when it comes to politics...sure you could vote. But it's best to just nuke everyone.

[tagnostic]

hehehehehe
its all good

[gman]

i would'a liked a Paul Romney mix too,
the gold slandered thing is a bit to unlikely, but he is right about the fed being a big problem.. if he asks for ending them and just gets making what they are up to transparent we would be a lot better off

if you like libertarian monetary conspiracy theory watch this.. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6076118677860424204#

its "out there" but interesting -- grain of salt required

[Tsar Phalanxia]

Problem with the Gold Standard is that Aggregate Demand (I.e. Demand in an economy) can get confused for Demand for Gold, and so increasing prices in gold is seen as the economy is getting richer. This can lead to economic bubbles, a la, 1920's.

The Fed is an odd arrangement, I'll give you that, but the US' simply needs a Central Bank. Maybe a system such as the Bank of England would be more appropriate, but I haven't heard any such suggestions from Paul (Although I am happy to be corrected)

[tagnostic]

he wants to get rid of the fed
and go to a mixed commodities
standard of gold, platinum, oil
at a fixed dollar/quantity ratio
a few other commodities
could be utilized but oil
is the only one with a
shelf life, all the others
must be durable/raw

and get rid of the IRS too
i'm all down with that

same here less government is better, not a hundred percent convinced we can escape the fiat dollar altogether. but letting the fed set how much money they can loan and how much interest gets charged and all of it with little or no oversight and behind closed doors is scary..

[Tsar Phalanxia]

Keynes proposed something like that at Bretton Woods called the Bancor, but it didn't take off, possibly because it had a silly name.

A lot would depend on what values for each the dollar was set up, and the entire context of the shift, such as the Dollar's status as a reserve currency, but fundamentally, something like that has nothing theoretically going against it. But then, on the other hand, perhaps inflating the U.S' debts away maybe the only way to get out of the debt problem...

The U.S. Tax code is fiendishly structured, so that each little check box, if removed has barely any effect on Joe Consumer, but has massive consequences for those to whom the box is directed at. So to simplify the system, you'd have to convince Joe Consumer that getting rid of all those little check boxes was a good idea, against all the vested interests who gain billions of pounds from the boxes.

[tagnostic]

the budget this year for the IRS
is 21 billion, thats just to take
our money, if we can simplify
that it would be a damn good
start to getting a balanced
budget, which is constitutional
but too many politicians rely on
pork spending to get/stay elected
instead of on their actual ideas
and plans to make our lives
better which is what their stated
purpose is, now it seems to be
to live the good life on my $
and to hell with their constituents
until the next election
I'd get rid of an assload of depts
and committees that don't have
any real purpose except to take
my money and tell me how to live
my life, Fannie & Freddie come to mind
kill them both right off the top, Hud would be next
no more money for the UN, no more aid for people
who hate us, i don't give a damn who's starving where
we're hurting over here, if Bono wants to feed darfur
let him do it, he can afford it, same goes for every
hollywood asshole who makes a commercial about
the poor and hungry, give them your damn money
you can afford it i can't

[tagnostic]

this is the crap that scares me

Thing is about that is... Nobody seems to care.

[gman]

plenty of people care!
just not the ones in a position to stop it,
and if the ones that care elect those that are in a position to stop it
they end up just being creeps that want their own kleptocracy and ponzi scheme

No... Just very dumb, and short sighted.

U.S Governance GAVE!!!!!!!! the many banks and insurance agencies bailout money. Obama is BORROWING!!!!!!!!! it back at a fixed rate of 12% interest, full term. :icon_lol:

OMG! Howdy stranger! :icon_cool::icon_cool:

Where you been? What you been up to? :D
thread hijack!

been dicking around. those of us with BA's are equally as boned as this administration and anyone else.


can someone start opening up philosophy factories?

[Will.]

Politics, when life gets you down, just think George W, was an actual person.

[CyberWizard]

I find it hard to believe you are an actual person Will...Do you really believe Obama is the cream cheese? Lets face it. Politicians are politicians, and nothing can change that.

We get to vote for.... Parties... Then they get to vote for... Their own candidate based on the approval of the constituency .

[tagnostic]

I always vote
for party's

just not
political
ones:icon_lol:

[Sporkinator]

I watched Glenn Beck on Fox News a few times. If what he says about George Soros is true, then the president is just a puppet and George Soros is the puppetmaster. Of course you don't have to watch Fox News, just research George Soros yourself. Ask the mighty Google.

If you consider Beck to be a valid news source. :icon_lol:

thing about that is, Most news stations are owned by political parties.

beck is a commentator not a news source,
he is also very controversial, so everything he says is watched carefully for mistakes that he can be called on and that can be used against him.

he is probably double checking all his sources and only using ones that are impeccable to avoid making mistakes.

on his soros stuff he happens to be mostly quoting soros himself so i bet it is accurate.

news stations are not owned by political party's, but they are owned by
people with strong political ideology's and party loyalty's and it shows in the "reporting"

[Sporkinator]

I still find it funny that Fox News covers stuff that other news stations completely ignore. In particular, it's strange that other news stations would ignore things.

Seriously, that George Soros guy is disturbed. Collapsing currencies and economies. Who here opposes the idea of a global government? I know I do. Big government = bad.

[gman]

i oppose it!
local government is corrupt enough and tries to take freedom already, and we can just barely keep a handle on them,
a global government would be tyrannical just by being global..

[Sporkinator]

Yeah, despite what you all think about Glenn Beck, I think he's right. Soros wants to collapse the US dollar so that we'll have to use a global currency and have global government. I've seen stuff like this in Christian End-of-World/Apocalypse movies that were made years ago. I shudder at the idea of stuff from a movie actually coming true. Creepy...

[tagnostic]

anyone who runs for office
is completely unqualifed
to hold it

ie: if you think you are capable
of running my life and assume
i want to pay for that privilege
you should meet me in a bar
and not hide in washington

Unless you can blame 8 people, don't go pointing fingers, because there are always fingers pointing back.
