A few thoughts:
BDH, you're just wrong about the education disparity between Republicans and Democrats. It's probably the opposite: Quote:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/10/opinion/10brooks.html But what I think is strange is how you liberal tree-huggers are jumping up and down as if you just won something? And what is all the ferver about? I really don't get it. In just a couple of years the entire country has acquired this "being rich is super bad - the rich are our enemies" mood and it's terribly unhealthy. You are supposed to want to become rich! The problem is you forget that your pension plan or 401K owns something like 90% stocks! Well that blows since all US business is going down the tubes because the economy blows. And to make things worse why don't we increase taxes while the rest of the world is decreasing them? Oh I just don't know how to feel. Bush was bad. For sure. But Obama is the wrong direction not the right one. I'm genuinely sad that so many feel that this is a victory for America: a fundamental swing to becoming a socialist state. Socialism is not how America became so wealthy. It's not the reason that every one of you posts on this board in comfort. And it wont be the way we fix our economy. Unfortuneately the next generation in job creation and business will be somewhere else... Which REALLY sucks for Americans because they are used to not having to work as hard to get what they want. Unlike the Chinese and the Indians who work work work work just to get a little. It's going to be a big time wake up call for young Americans. | |
 The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. Last edited by DJ FC; 11-05-2008 at 12:45 AM. |

This guy is getting paid by the goverment that is still seated. He gets six months of pay for not doing a damn thing. Best part about it, this guy is giving up that free money to coach basketball come next Monday. This guy has also worked in two factories to give him the option of unemployment. Sad part about it, is that he is taking advantage of the government the way it is. Some call it lazy, some call it smart. Just like being in college for over 4 years, I have worked and think that I get the free money the government is offering me. Do I deserve it??? Hell no. Will I accept it?? Hell yes. It goes to prove the regardless of who is in office, if you are smart enough, you can get money for nothing. As a person that voted for Obama, I hope that he can cut this situation out. Until he does, I'm going to enjoy my free cash while doing something I love. I pointed you out BDH because you were forthright with your political stance. That isn't a knock on you, but it is a knock on your stance. It's the same with UB. Do I think that your views if followed through would help this country?? 100% I do. Do I think that it is a reality that it can happen??? Not right now. The economy needs a fix. I stop short of saying a quick fix, but stopping short could cost me in this situation. I'm willing to say my friends that I have understand what they want and should get their ideas placed in the forefront, but that just isn't viable right now with how "Bush" has left the economy. The republican party isn't at fault all together, but at the same time, it is going to fall on their shoulders. BDH, you are top 5 in the people in my life I would love to talk about this situation with. Our views are just a 180, which makes our future converstation that much more interesting. Only if we can get UB in town to have a Nubblies Town Hall meeting would be incredible. Regardless, this nation is in for a change. Time will only tell weather the change willl be good or bad. The nation has spoken, and I'm extremely happy they spoke the way they did. Obama has a huge job ahead of him. His presidency will be judged in his first 6 months in office. I really hope the Democrates can take control of the house without the threat of a Philabuster and then we can make headway with everything. Sorry the post was so long. Apparently I have a big vision of politics. | |

Coach K is someone that I have read his books. I stress alot of his ideas. I don't believe in all of them. I'm 46-10 as a head coach and that doesn't include my summer basketball. If it did I would be closer to 60-13. I'm an old school guy that is trying to instill those old school principles at the school I am coaching. It sounds like a cop out, but if I catch a break in the coaching world, I think I can make a name for myself. Regardless, I'm doing something I love and wouldn't change it for the world.

It's official: Indiana goes to Obama.
A state full of white, evangelical christians that Bush won by 21 is taken 4 years later by liberal black guy with little experience named Barack Obama. That's what I call change! And because of it... change is about all I have left in my pocket! |

Indiana going blue is unheard of. I told you it was a toss up yesterday. I really didn't mean that 100%. I'm baffled that Indiana actually went to the Dems. It could be the biggest upset in political history.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

Supreme Emperor of the Jiu Jitsu Shit Forum?: Yes

I didn't hear it at all which really surprised me. He pretty much fits the bill according to their description of what the anti-christ is supposed to be. The whole Muslim controversy doesn't help, but aside from that he's good looking, charismatic, brings a message of world peace, has been called the "global citizen," etc. Interpreting scripture is basically like reading the future to them.

Creeping around as I please nonchalantly like any other Supreme Emperor might.

Jesus Christ couldn't carry some of the red states if he ran as a democrat. They'd call him a liberal foot washer who hangs out with prostitutes and isn't tough enough against Ceasar's tax hikes.
