  1. It will be interesting (and funny) if the Obama re-election campaign trots out it's "Hope and Change" slogan again. 55555555555555555 (I guess most are hoping for a "change" in the make up of Congress and the renter of the White House. The guy is a complete incompetent. And I mean COMPLETE. He has little of no foreign policy, all he can think about are ways to spend money and raise taxes...using any bullshit excuse he can think of and try to pass it off as a "reason". Libya needs a new Muslim leader? I suggest deporting Obama. Solve two problems with one plane ticket. :content: (Of course, he has two "anchor babies" that might keep him here.) :stirthepo

  2. The White House says Obama will address his plans for the country's energy security during a speech in Washington Wednesday.

     

     

    Just can't wait. 55555555555555

     

    Would you buy into a strategy thrown out by a guy who probably spent hours researching his March Madness choices and his beloved Kansas (seeded #1) got it's butt kicked by #11 Virginia Commonwealth? (He probably will pick the KC Royals to win the World Series.) 55555555555

  3. Did you ever stop to think that TV/Movie people are REQUIRED to be union members? The union mafia has been successful in mandating such a law/rule. But there are plenty of crack pot celebrities making the same money who think it's wonderful to pay more and more taxes. I hope they do so. They can also donate more of their easy money to the Treasury. Nothing is stopping them from giving all of their wages/residuals to Uncle Sam.

  4. Google it yourself.

     

    That 47% do not make enough in income to actually pay federal income tax.

     

    That's a fact, Jack !

     

    You can dance :elephant: scream and holler :cussing: and and argue :cussing: all you want.

     

    Facts are facts. .

     

     

    I agree. But you said the 47% don't pay federal income taxes because they are below the poverty level. And that ain't correct.

     

    HH

     

    P.S. Would somebody here please instruct Unit731 on how to "google"?

  5. 47% of US workers pay zero federal income tax. Cheaters?

     

    No, their income is below the stated poverty level.

     

    Wrong. 47% of citizens pay zero federal income tax...not 47% of "workers". And it isn't because their income is below the stated poverty level...it IS NOT below the "poverty" level.

     

    Look it up. "Google is your friend".

  6. Flimsy? LOL! How can you say that with only minimal info...and only the info the plaintiff has provided? Like the plaintiff admitted, he may fit a profile. But I imagine quite a few thousand others do also. I doubt if the FBI has the resources/inclination to put a transponder on ALL vehicles used by those similar. I'm sure there is a lot more than we are being/not being told. Maybe the plaintiff should go live in Egypt and see how authorities there gather info they want. 55555555555555555

  7. Come on HH

     

    Have I ever offended you when we have met in real?

     

    I stand by my statement that my comment was aimed at goverments and not citizens

     

    Never offended me in person or on the board...though I thought your original comment was made with a broad brush aimed at citizens, not government policies. Anyway, I'm really curious what "policies" of the U.S. might offend others; particularly foreign policies. I say that, cuz I have yet to identify any concrete foreign policies of the U.S. over decades and any number of GOP and Demoncrap administrations. Quite simply, I don't think the U.S. has any foreign policies.

     

    HH

    :(

  8. At least I have stirred up a debate, but please accept that my "Uncivil Remarks" were against the poicies of the respective goverments and [color:red]not the citizens of the country.[/color]Kong

     

    Not according to this: "FUCK OFF HOME YANKIES we didn't ask for or need you intervention

     

    Gung Ho Assholes"

  9. 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.

     

    The military complex can't fight, but it sure can line the pockets of politicians.

     

    The "evil do'ers" seem to do quite well. They don't need to last very long to make financial killings. And even when exposed, they seem to be able to continue to get contracts with the Government after paying "fines" or bullshit "rebates".

     

    40 years ago I was meeting with an investigator with the Dept. of Defense. He was quite a character. He handed me a buiness card with about FOUR different seals on it. LOL. As I recall, one seal was from the old Dept. of War. He asked me if I noticed anything strange on the seal. I looked, but really didn't notice anything peculiar (though i had not seen the seal before). Then he pointed out the eagle on the seal. Placed above and below the extended wings of the eagle, in very, very small letters, were "W", "I", "G", and "B". He asked me if I knew what that stood for. He didn't give me a chance to think about it. "War Is Good Business".

     

    War IS good business. Lots of employment, lots profits, lots of opportunity for graft; profiteering. And when the fighting is over, of course, lots of "rebuilding".

  10. I only saw RFuckstick's comment cuz it was included in your response.

     

    The primary reason for U.S. vehicle companies producing cars and trucks in Canada has nothing to do with fringe benefits. It was due to a trade treaty entered into between Canda and the U.S. back in the 60's. It was a win-win for both Canadian workers and the U.S. auto industry. (My cousin made a small fortune due to this agreement. Not bad for a guy who dropped out of community college (or flunked out :content: ) and got involved in brokering Canadian-made truck parts.

     

    The "win" for Canada was more and better-paying blue-collar jobs, access to U.S. made cars/models without paying high tariffs, and balancing it's trade imbalance with the U.S. The "win" for U.S. auto companies was dramatically increasing sales of it's products in Canada. It's capitalism at it's best. :content:

     

    So don't be fooled (and I know you aren't) by someone's idea that this exchange has anything to do with health care. :banghead:

     

    HH

  11. If you want.

     

    But if you read just my posts, which are not very long esp compared to some, you will see that I am for health insurance but not a law that makes you a criminal if you dont have it, nor that will force a small business to either fire employees or go out of business.

     

    Sadly, we will not be hearing from Allistar anymore. I received a PM this morning that he had taken his own life and that it was a self-inflicted action. If enough are interested, I'll post the contents of the PM here.

  12. As a former reviewer for this site, I feel; compelled to give my favorite movies of 2010...keeping in mind I have not yet seen The King's Speech, The Fighter, 127 hours, or The Town (four things I hope to rectify soon)

    [color:red]

    I've missed your reviews over the last few years. Any chance you'll revive them?

     

    BTW: I thought Machete was junk in the truest sense of the word. I didn't even think it was entertaing after a couple of heads rolled. Rodriguez should have taken his bows and left the stage after "Mariachi" :content: Point 2: "Red" was ok, but nothing to write home about. I guess for those appreciating "nostalgia", it served it purpose--making money. (Of course, that's why movies are made, ain't it.) Point 3: I think you'll like "The Town". Good story, good plot, direction and filming. Not a best picture, IMO, but certainly worth seeing. (The lead guy in The Hurt Locker does a great job in this one as a sociopathic bad ass.)

  13. If McCain was not a war hero, I question how far he would have succeeded in his political career as a Republican...even as a "moderate" Republican.

     

    This is certainly good news for Barry, cuz during the televised discussion on C-Span regarding health care legislation, McCain and Obama dueled it out pretty good for a minute or so. I did notice that McCain incorporated a bit of a disclaimer when addressing his seance with Barry; indicating that he has respect for the office of the Presidency, but not specifically saying Obama himself. :dunno:
