QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 08:19 PM) I.E., more nonsense. Explain everything whilst explaining nothing at all. You have to listen to something other then your own opinion, to which you're not equipped.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 05:44 PM) You want anti-wussification? You got it. It's en vogue to offend Catholics and Scientoligists...but stay away from offending Jews and/or Muslims right now...because that'd be a career killing sin. What I'm about to say may offend the religious. So consider yourself forewarned before you continue reading and get...offended, despite the fact that everything you claim to believe in...teaches forgiveness and understanding. IMO, offend them all...constantly, and outwardly, openly and honestly. Don't hold back. Question everything, including the existence of God. Any God and all God's for that matter. If "he" exists, "he'd" want you too...it's why "he" "gave us" free will. If "he" didn't want us to question "his" existence, "he" wouldn't have done that, which uses their own absurd reasoning against them. IMO, this is because nobody can take religion as it was meant to be taken, in small, non-literal, lesson teaching doses. It was nothing more than a teaching/control mechanism. But people ALWAYS end up taking it to the extreme with nothing but nonsense and half truths, where they lean on the word "faith" so they never have to bother proving anything. They best part of this is, if you know anyone like this, I guarantee they take their religion al-la-carte, because it's convenient. And worse, the loudest of them are ALWAYS liars, cheaters, scammers and adulterers. All. f***ing. Ways. Yet, if and when you argue with them about the existence of God, their entire argument will revolve around *you* having to prove otherwise. Happened to me recently, and I had to point out that it's never the job of someone to prove non-existence...it is, however, the job of someone to prove *existence*, which is, of course, where their lazy assed faith argument will enter the equation. At that point, they don't actually feel the need to prove anything, despite the fact that they "just know they're right". This is *always* the bane of their argument. Because they have no actual arguments. They base everything on faith, but want you to base everything on imperial scientific proof. How convenient. In a nutshell, this is how they want it: If/when something good happens to you, praise be to God. Ignoring the fact that if you sat on your ass and put fourth no effort, it never would have happened. But, despite that, when something good occurs, be sure to credit "him" for it. But if/when something bad happens to you, it's because God has a plan. Oh, well...that's sound logic. And to that, I say, if that's the case...that petulant child can go f*** "himself". Because the fact that "he" has innocent 6 month old children suffering in 3rd world countries, or even in first world countries of incurable diseases...that tells me that "he" doesn't give a flying f*** about us. Therefore, "he" shouldn't care that I don't give a flying f*** about "him", either. Oh, and I enjoyed going back to exploit my excessive use of ""'s. ...and may God forgive me for my moment of doubt. But the longer I see the world the way it is, the more impossible it becomes to believe in anything other than the real. Humanity has free will for a reason. I guess I better not even say anything other then that.

Gotcha. +1

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 05:18 PM) lol this is a perfect example of why open carry is a horrible policy. people have an argument and instead of a fist fight it's a shoot out. lol wut? Try that line in Chicago since you're trying to make your nonsense leap...

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 09:11 PM) was... this thread ever ON the rails? pretty sure it started with Clint Eastwood yelling at a chair...

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 1, 2013 -> 08:01 PM) Why would the Senate waste even more time by voting on a bill that will fail or be quickly vetoed? Why doesn't the Senate do anything, save the last day of the year? They didn't do s*** for 2 years and it was quite on purpose. But again, we know that answer, don't we?

They have the votes. The bill will be law by midnight.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 1, 2013 -> 09:06 AM) I wonder if I will it 50,000 this year. We'll call you half of ss2k.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 1, 2013 -> 04:07 PM) Maybe they'll repeal obamacare for the 34th time. They are prolific at voting for DOA bills. So how about the Senate actually have some balls and do something, like vote on House bills? Oh wait... they're on your side, so they're doing the right thing. STFU with the rhetoric, because one is no better then the other.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 1, 2013 -> 02:49 PM) Except no one cared what they called it. Obama has said both that he's cutting taxes for middle class and that he's raising taxes on the wealthy. Repubs have apparently even forgotten how to use semantics to their advantage. Would you rather hear that your taxes had been cut pre-emptively or a couple days late? All the cuts were temporary - - extending them means cutting taxes again. Boehner needs to grow a set and realize his party is about to lose its majority if he doesn't do anything. You must have missed my line somewhere when I said Boner needs to borrow one of Nancy Pelosi's testicles.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2013 -> 02:44 PM) Yes that's true, but Boehner also needs to bring the bill to the floor and decide what version of the bill to bring to the floor. The Democrats are powerless to bring a bill to the floor. If he brings a bill to the floor his caucus doesn't want, they can vote him out as speaker because of it in a couple days. That's why the failure to pass anything last time was such a big deal, it showed how weak of a speaker he is. He has no leverage whatsoever to bring people along from his side, and he can't afford to force a vote on something that the strongest part of his caucus doesn't want. I don't disagree. That's twice in one day. WTF is wrong with you?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 1, 2013 -> 02:38 PM) A tax increase already happened at midnight. It's done. Now they're talking about tax cuts. Exactly what Obama wanted. Now he gets to claim he cut taxes for "middle class Americans".

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2013 -> 02:33 PM) Within the last hour, House Republicans are now saying they will offer up an amended bill and send it back to the Senate (assuming they could pass it in the first place, of course). Presumably containing more spending cuts and maybe more tax cuts. That would effectively break whatever agreement the Senate had in place. In other words, they don't have the votes to pass ANY tax increase. It's pretty amazing that even the RINO's are holding out - Boner only needs 20 votes to cover his Nancy Pelosi stance, right?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2013 -> 12:24 PM) Remember the good old fun days when people got to pretend that "We don't know what tax rates will be 5 years from now" was a significant source of uncertainty for business? Now we're at "the Congress might decide too destroy the world economic system for no reason" every 3 months or so. After all, 2008 was...fun. For once, I agree with you 100%.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 24, 2012 -> 12:28 PM) Keeping people alive? Deficits are terrible! A trillion dollar airplane when we haven't had an air to air combat situation in 20+ years? Defense spending doesn't count. It doesn't? But you tell me it does. You're so confused.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 23, 2012 -> 05:35 PM) Ah, the guy who yells "Stop spending!" at every possible chance coming in here to tell us how vital of a program the F-35 is. Of course, coming from the one who can't read a cost curve on the real effect of BarackustheGreatCare.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 06:08 PM) Do you mean the Patriot Act? That was not exactly a liberal policy. Do you mean rendering a free press worthless? That would be conservatives trying that one. Do you mean trying to take away the role of judges as defined by the constitution? That would be the GOP as well. You can't be serious.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 23, 2012 -> 05:08 PM) It's pretty easy to find any number of reputable sources reporting on how big of a boondoggle that plane is. Yep. There's also a lot that people don't know about that program... but don't let those facts get in the way of a massive "boondoggle"... I know, it's like shooting 3 foot bass in a 1 inch barrel for you.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 17, 2012 -> 04:08 PM) did not know that. Still, the F-35 is a giant waste of money. I'm glad you know so much about it.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 23, 2012 -> 08:29 AM) Are you saying staying at the same level as before the Bush cuts or after the Bush era cuts? And speaking of Barakus Droids, is that a new phrase that "Dittoheads" are suppose to use or something you made up? I have no idea, I don't listen to any of it unless I'm trying to catch traffic reports.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 05:09 PM) Of course not. This is a good thing. You can use the money for upper income tax cuts. Whatever dude. It's not a cut if it stays the same. Quit lying... oh wait, Barackus Droids don't realize that it's all been a big lie from the beginning anyway.

Abolish it all... because your side already has. If the Constitution has issues and needs to be modified, there's mechanisms in place to do so. No one cares anymore that there is a legitimate process to change it... so it is "morphed" into whatever you want it to be? Messed up.

The one thing that people don't realize is that 2012 taxes are going to MAJORLY go up for about 50 million people. There's going to be some pissed off people who have an AMT hit all the way down to about $65,000 AGI. So much for not hitting the "middle class". Notice NO ONE is talking about this...

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 08:28 PM) lol Do you prefer the "cliff?" It would be very effective deficit reduction. At this point, it's just about better then any alternative any of these dumbs***s can come up with.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 08:22 PM) It was fun watching a complete meltdown of Republican leadership this evening. How quickly can they/will they replace Boehner? Would replacing him even help us avert the cliff? At this point the Dems need to try to pick off about 25 Republicans and jam this f***er through. Yea. Just like health care. Jam everything up our ass!! YEA! Move to Europe if you don't like this country.
