Government Shutdown

[SMEGMA STENCH]

Your pocket, that is where.

I'm of the opinion that they are right at the line, of what people will stand for. The guy flying the plane into the IRS building is just an early warning sign. They may think they're going to raise taxes enough to pay for their dumbshit ways, but I think they'll find that's a lot easier said than done. I mean sure they can do it, I just don't think it would stand for long. I've always said that when you go to change people's lifestyle, that's when they'll get pissed and act. When you try to tell americans they can no longer be fat, lazy, and stupid, they'll tear you down. At least that's my hope.

I have to wonder where democrats think the money is going to keep coming from.

Your pocket, that is where.

I bow to this guy's intellect.

So he won't see your smirk?

According to one of my professors, the white board sucks knowledge out of a person. It would be like breaking A-rod's knee after he signed a contract that was 150% higher than the average player. He goes down and you lose 300% of your investment, twice.

I think your firm just might make a spot for him.

We could always use someone to clean the whiteboards.

I'm not even gonna weigh in on the OP discussion, I'll just say one thing; Saying something is "150% below" something else makes perfect sense. Many times when people (scientists, for example) want to measure growth or decline, they will use percentages greater than 100%. Often WAY bigger than 150%.

Measuring growth, yes. Decline, no. You only have 100% of something. Therefore, you can't go less than 100%. If the poverty line is $20k a year (for the sake of argument), how would you subtract 150%? I think he meant to say "50% below the poverty line", which would be $10k a year, and makes perfect sense.

Show me on a graph how you would chart the poverty line ($19,000 or whatever the fuck it is) and then chart what 150% below that would be.


I'll wait. Genuinely interested in seeing this.

Secure our borders and use those nifty UAV's that Obama is hell bend on using to kill Pakistani civilians with to destroy anything crossing the border. I like that

[SMEGMA STENCH]

Damn I was hoping for a gubment shut down

Me too. If nothing else it would be funny to watch those scum squirm.

I've got nothing against pulling all of us back within our borders. Let's do it.

And totally securing those borders. Which cannonfodder would be against of course.

We don't have an empire. We have a country with multiple bases that provide us the ability to strike anywhere at anytime. I have no problem with returning to our constitutional guidelines. What is your issue with it?

Bro, it's an Empire any way you look at it. Our planted puppets are leaders of several countries. We force our policies everywhere.

[Forever_frost]

correct, how ever the constitution and the framers of our government never intended to become an empire. in order to maintain and empire you have to have the strongest military and the very best society backing it, and that takes a lot of money. if you want to go back to a government that was based on the constitution, then you better be ready to give up the empire.
