Damn.Originally posted by JC316 View PostYes they do. I have a friend over there and the government is just as fucked up as it is here. Hell, up till recently, they couldn't even get M rated video games due to the governments interference. Then there is the lack of guns, the utterly ridiculous way they have the phone and internet structured, the lack of a decent power grid, my friend doesn't even run the A/C in the summer due to it. Their gas prices aren't that much worse than ours, I think he was paying a little over $5 a gallon and they use natural gas a lot.
I guess we're getting just the tip.

When the fuck did we give fags the right to state their opinions on this board?Originally posted by Ruffdaddy View PostI know what you're saying and I'm telling you I think you're opinion is stupid. Look at it this way...he's doing way more than any of us. Take the money makers out of this country and things will change. Your blind allegiance to America is flawed. You've gotta be decently older.

I cant help but thinking about this quote:

My opinion is the the type that made this country. Yours is the type that is destroying it. I only bother to post in this thread in the hopes that others may think more about it and not fall into the same trap..Originally posted by Ruffdaddy View PostI know what you're saying and I'm telling you I think you're opinion is stupid.

I guess I would want your definition of "older". I am 37. Probably right at the tail end of my type of thinking.
Too many younger people grew up with full bellies and every latest cool toy out there. They do not appreciate commitment. They want everything handed to them.

I agree, but I still like to think there are more of us out there who have some morals and pride.Originally posted by Chili View PostUnfortunately our society today is.
It's easy for him because he had already planned on going. It was all set up. He was going whether Obama won, or whether Romney won, or whether Herbie Hancock won. Now he's just being a drama queen and using the election results as a motive.Originally posted by Ruffdaddy View PostLol at moving to to a new country when you have everything you could want at home as being the easy way out.

I grew up poor. I've worked my ass off only to realize that the harder I work the more I have to give to lazy scrubs that now make up the majority. I've also gotten to see my dollar worth less.Originally posted by Chili View PostMy opinion is the the type that made this country. Yours is the type that is destroying it.

Your opinion didn't make this country...your government did. Again what are you doing to help?

It just irks me when there's a legitimate conversation to be had and people degrade it to insults so quickly. we're a large board with lots of different people and while we may not see eye to eye or respect one another's viewpoints i think it's only fair that we be able to discuss it in a *somewhat* non-hostile setting.Originally posted by Ruffdaddy View PostI think that's the only thing this guy ever says to me lol. It'll never start anything

The phone and internet has the be the most fucked up. The government owns all of the lines and then sells them through private companies. In some areas, you are forced to get a land phone and internet at inflated prices and you get substandard service. Two blocks over however, they have just internet lines, where you get double the speed at half of the price. If you have phone lines coming to the house, then you have to have phone service if you want internet. It can take up to two months just to get internet service hooked upOriginally posted by Snatch Napkin View PostDamn.

You are very correct. This board has always had the reputation of being a little Internet outlaw haven, but things have gone off the deep end in the past 3 or so Years. It's good to see some people care to keep it good.Originally posted by lo3oz View PostIt just irks me when there's a legitimate conversation to be had and people degrade it to insults so quickly. we're a large board with lots of different people and while we may not see eye to eye or respect one another's viewpoints i think it's only fair that we be able to discuss it in a *somewhat* non-hostile setting.
