At least I get an orderly market place for that $20; GW keeps printing money and spending it in Iraq. He's reached into my wallet and pulled lots of $20 out so far and doesnt appear to be close to being finished. All I've gotten for that is higher diesel prices.

Saw a station close to home that was $4.40 gal on Sat. Happy I negociated a company CC as part of my employment package so I don't have to pay for my 600 mile weekly commute.

So the president is powerless in trying to balance the budget ?

What kind of balanced budget has Bush tried to set up, because
he seems to have gotten it backwards.

He has pushed this country further into debt than any other president
in history.

But I guess in your line of thinking it is Clinton's fault.

Just 12 weeks ago, some were touting Google stock......imagine the juvenile folly of buying at those previous astronomical prices?
These morons run rampant out there! LMAO!

The downside is that if the government steps in too often the
market is more likely to take bad risks, and need more Gov help.
Positive feedback.
I heard bits and pieces of a similar POV on the radio this afternoon. I wasn't able to really listen though. I'd appreciate more elaboration on the above points if you feel like it. What are some historical examples of Gov. stepping in?

Here is the truth !

George Carlin, who owns this country....

Don't think for one minute that everything that is happening is not
completely orchestrated by a few of the super wealthy.

Your arguments can be simplified.

You do not need to go into extreme detail,
or use complex chemical theory to get the
concept of dual use across to someone.

I believe it is obvious that you are trying
to float above me on a cloud of supreme
knowledge.

And thereby trying to prove you
are correct in everything you say, are smarter
than I am, and above me.

Trying to guide me along an argument,
holding my hand and trying to explain what
you are saying in the most complex way you
can is not proving you are correct or smarter.

A truly educated man does not try to teach
above his students.
He tries to connect with them at their level.
.
I'm confused. Which way do you want it?

EDIT: Nice pics though. Congrats, you've given Kamil a run for his money.

Well since you asked.

I would rather have no holds barred real conversation.
No moderation, no rules.

But since everytime I fart on this forum I get an infraction
And others seem to get away with whatever they wish.
I would just like to see some equal treatment.

I am not the type to go running to a moderator everytime
someone calls me an ass.

But ****, it gets tiring taking all the crap, and not being able to
dish any out.



Who is Kamil ??

And since turnabout is fair play.

I think I might have taken a picture of bot the night
when he thought he was going to take my daughter out.




Again, See you in Hell !!!

My point had less to do with moderation and infractions - and more to do with which type of rebuttal you prefer. You told Bot earlier to speak down to your level - and now you're telling somebody else to speak up to your level. How are we to discern your comprehension level?

Rich - even though we often disagree (and I do respect you for your opinions and your vociferous backing of them)......I did not wish to arrange this fatal meeting of vanity upon you (your offer to meet Kamil in Texas on the other thread).

Here's more than you ever wanted to know about the man in question:

In both cases people were treating me like I was stupid.
That does not agree with me.
Expecially when I cant call them stupid right back.

-----

Geesh, I dont like vanity.
I would rather be with a fugly girl than a vain one.

----

I just checked out that link to Kmil
If he comes down to texas with that
he will get his ass stomped by one of these
redneck farmboys.

I even run from some of the mutants of muscle
down here.
And i like pain.
