  1. Mekong beat me to it.....it is indeed a very arrogant and totally clueless quote.....

    Its not about defending the rest of us' date=' its all about business....

    But thanks for the though :beer:

    I think this topic needs a thread of its own. Should it start with a quick overview of history of the world since 1900?

    Try to be civil.

    Civil ? I was not civil ?

    Thats double arrogance :)

    I never said you weren't. (But Mekong sure was not.)

  2.  

     

    Are you trying to say we should borrow a lot more money?

     

     

    No. Re read what I wrote. And again, I know it is hard to do, but try NOT to think of it like your personal financial decisions. These are nation states.

  3. It is. The military Industry complex cant fight (or hold a candle to) the Media which only makes money when it exposes it.

     

    That is they beauty of the current system. Everyone is out to get the evil do'er. So they dont last very long.

  4. I found cock fighting interesting in Isaan. In the USA they fight till one cock is dead. The fights I have seen in Isaan are not like that. They clean up their respective cocks and take them home.

     

     

     

    You know... I am from The South, and I have never heard of the game the OP talked about. You?

     

    A human fights the bird? How do you get the birds to attack a man....?

  5. So can I say you actually believe it is wise for a government to spend 50% more then they take in and to accumulate one of the largest debts the world has ever seen?

     

    Being you have a 'clue' I guess this will not be a difficult answer for you.

     

     

    It's not. Just takes a look at world economics from a non-reactionary position over the past say 2 centuries.

     

    But you also have to temper that look with the knowledge rules that you and I have to follow as private citizens do not and have never applied to nation states.

     

    Note: I never said it was wise. I just said it is done and is not "very unstable." Try to look at it from the other side. What would be the benefit from the US owing the world a lot of money.... (Take a bit to think about it. I'll tell you if you need me to, but I bet you can see it after a few mins... if that long!)

  6. And it almost always will be as long as it has to pay to defend the rest of you.

     

     

    The Arrogance of that quote

     

    FUCK OFF HOME YANKIES we didn't ask for or need you intervention

     

    Gung Ho Assholes

     

     

    You should be more pissed off at the truth of it.

     

    I am.

     

    I would love an isolationist America.

  7. No... I'm saying you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.

    But as obviously you have a clue' date=' would you mind explaining the numbers then ?

     

    BB[/quote']

     

     

    Sure. Governments dont work like normal people do, so you can not compare the two which is what you are doing.

     

    The US has been a debtor nation since the beginning. And it almost always will be as long as it has to pay to defend the rest of you. The thing is, push comes to shove, that debt is just paper and can be nullified with the stroke of a pen.

     

    Again, nation states dont work by the same rules the rest of us have to. Just ask China.

     

     

  8. I keep telling you guys we are no longer a free and fair republic.

     

     

     

    And I keep telling you, you are more free here than any where else.

     

     

    You cant make it in the US? Where you gonna go? Have fun trying it in China!

  9. Well, it is also likely that the program is set up to pay for learning opportunities that a local system could just not get or other wise pay for. You see it for computer training all the time in the rural south.

     

    I dont think a language class in and of it self is a bad thing. Hell, I WISH my local school had a Thai class back when I was in school!

     

    Would anyone be pitching a fit is say they were teaching German or Italian?

  10. "...Since when is any language other than English MANDATORY in US schools?..."

     

     

    Been to California lately? English is really just a suggested language here.

     

     

    In that districts defense, if it is a grant... then they APPLIED for it.

  11. Gee' date=' HH, ya think that maybe, just maybe, healthcare costs factor into it? That maybe auto manufacturers are happy to have Canada's "commie fucktard socialist" healthcare plan so much that they would move assembly jobs just across the river to Windsor? Ya think??

     

    Tighten the latches on your bunker, and chew on that big boy![/quote']

     

     

     

    Not taking sides against you, chap, but you would not know it from the BMW and Merk and Honda plants in the Southern US..... All less than 20 years old. And the BMW place in SC just announced plans to double in size. Which shoots your assumption all to hell.

     

     

    [color:red]In the South, foreign auto plants are all non-union.[/color] So they don't have to provide UAW benefits, including their health insurance plans.

     

    WRT the Canadian trade agreement, that is old news. What is not old news is how quickly medical costs have risen at US based UAW plants, and how it is still at zero in Canadian UAW plants. Worth close to $20k per worker in cost savings. So while Detroit dies on the vine, factories in Windsor continue to not only do well, but expand

     

    I'd say "back to you HH", but I have obviously offended his California pension-sucking chicken shit ass, and he has put me on ignore. Gee, i am soooo offended.

     

     

    The foreign plants on US soil also make profits which get shuffled back to the homeland, not the USA.

     

     

    And pay millions of $$$$ in salaries, shipping, health care, ect. And were all built after 1990.

     

    Funny how you forget that.
