weren't you the one talking about ad hominems earlier?
Yes where did I post an Ad Hominem - or did you miss the sarcasm that was so obvious, actually your just grasping at straws. Grasp on Brother - Grasp on.

Have you look at the financial sector lately? As was pointed out, the Republicans are your proven socialist boys:bonk:
It really sux that the government keeps bailing people out. It actually hurts the system - But that's another discussion. I never agreed with all this bail out crap. The dems in congress share some roll in all the turmoil as well.

You'll find that the Bush Administration vetod a majority of what came out of the Democratic congress in order to maintain the status quo. Not to mention that the underlying causes of the financial crisis were already well in place and spread throughout the economy by the time Democrats took control of congress.

If you'd like to learn how this all started, please look to the passing of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999, which repealed a portion of the Glass-Steagall Act. This was arguably where everything started and it has taken 9 years for us to see the effects. Btw, it was passed by a Republican congress.

Seriously, do you even understand the mechanics at work here? That's the same bullsh!t ideological rhetoric that Palin tried, and even the republicans and libertarians pointed out that she didn't have a clue what she was talking about.

The alternative to "bailouts" is anarchy. Total economic collapse. Complete devaluation of the dollar and a return to the barter system. The issue here is not the response which at this stage is a necessity and extremely precariously balanced on a few subtleties, none of which are whether or not there should or shouldn't be "bailouts" but what the exact nature of those are and combined with what immediate restrictions and enforcements of trade laws.

The issue is the system that put us into a state where bailouts were necessary, which was the poorly planned deregulation of the credit markets. Some regulation is necessary. Get over it. That doesn't make it socialist. Fully regulated is bad. Fully deregulated is bad. The world is not black and white, and the invisible hand does not cure all. Intelligent regulation that utilizes natural market mechanisms and intervenes the minimum necessary is a good thing for growth and is still "free-market." I'm not saying that all regulation falls into that category. Some is unquestionably bad. But to make the blanket decision that regulation is fundamentally evil is not only to prevent yourself from learning real economics (and you do claim you want to learn), it allows powerfully political ideologies to push the country into huge economic mistakes because they sound nice.

I cannot recommend a subscription to the Economist enough. It is a fantastic publication and well worth the rather expensive cover price. Hell, I think it's free online. You will learn more about conservative economics (micro and macro) than any amount of arguing online, reading the NYPost and US News, or listening to Rush will ever teach you.

i take them about as seriously as i do any college professor.
Right, because all of academia is about liberal indoctrination. "Any" college professor has dedicated their life to education; chosen a path that does not make them outrageously wealthy, or huge celebrities. Sure they may have agendas, but just show up to class and it's not hard to discern what their agendas are. Most love debate and disagreement. It's 1 in 20 that falls into the "eat my porridge or get out of my kitchen" camp. If you're a remotely critical thinker you have infinitely more to learn from "any" college professor that the uninformed flapping head wordsmiths on short bus of radio.

I put it thru my Japanese translator a number of ways but couldn't get head nor tail of it. Got a hit with the last 2 characters but nothing that could help explain it. Go on, tell us what it means.
"This [is] not smart." Well I hope. The less characters I use the less likely I am at messing things up. At best my mandarin is bad. I just thought this thread needed more languages...it being about a Spanish add and all.

This is dead set great advice Manimal. If you don't agree mate, take them on, a good professor loves that. But do it properly, research it, back it up. They may not agree but if they're any good they'll support your arguement academically.

Its about Obama being a lying misleading and typical politician. So much for the "New Politics, Unity":rant:. Well I guess at this point if anyone still thinks he is about "Change" needs a reality check. In any language.
He is just another politician, playing the same stupid games.
I think, and hope that Americans, are beginning to see through his facade.

College faculties, long assumed to be a liberal bastion, lean further to the left than even the most conspiratorial conservatives might have imagined, a new study says.

By their own description, 72 percent of those teaching at American universities and colleges are liberal and 15 percent are conservative, says the study being published this week. The imbalance is almost as striking in partisan terms, with 50 percent of the faculty members surveyed identifying themselves as Democrats and 11 percent as Republicans.

Haha. I love the characters but the more you learn the more you don't know eh? Completely different concept of looking at reading/writing a language.

Into the military of course.....don't need no fancy book-lernin' there......and you get to shoot at ****...
The main thing I got out of the military was that I needed an education if I ever hoped to be a leader. Manimal went back to school after the Marines too. Not really a bad place to start out as long as you dont get your face shot off.

Oh imagine that. The people who are actually educated don't buy into conservative ideology. Shocking.


That's why the republicans usually win elections by the way... because the uneducated poor vote for them.
LOL - you guys cant stand it. The Liberals keep moving farther left and the rest of the nation isn't going with you. Your are the minority, and all you can do is say " oh they are stupid.... " Fancy yourself a smart guy don't you. :biggrin:
By the way the uneducated and poor normally vote democrat don't they.....
Who do you expect them do vote for this time?
Barry - He is gonna take the money from the rich and give to the POOR right.
Robin Hood from the Socialist Forest.
Forget hard work, forget investing and saving, forget an education.
The GOVERNMENT is the answer, they fix everything.
This is too funny. I think you actually believe yourself.

Silver, Ohio, Kidwoo, MMike! You hear that? Remember when our Shirley was a horrible Bush shrill? You guys have helped him out the liberal gay-bar loiterer that was lurking inside. I consider this one of the PAWN's finest hours.

Yeah I'm so pissed my outlook of fluid dynamics is so tainted with liberal bias.

Kind of sucks with so many potential foreign engagements on the horizon. Oh well....at least they won't become socialists. You know, what every college professor I ever had kept instilling in me between second order polynomial integrals.

...with poor immigrants at the bottom of the income scale and rich professionals at the top. To the extent that poor immigrants vote, they vote Democratic for the same reason poor people have voted Democratic for the past 70-odd years: the Democratic party favors government services for, and assistance to, society's most vulnerable members. Rich professionals vote Democratic, Frum writes, because in the 1990s,...

Just out of interest Curtix, how much Spanish do you speak? Start a new thread if you like.
Not enough to take any credit of speaking it for sure. But I worked with some Spanish speaking people in construction and made out ok.
