Obama asserts government control over the auto industry

[scabzzzz]

No, a higher bidder. Someone that does not bargin with sexual offers.

So my bid of 6 handjobs was outbid? How many are you getting now? 12? Are you under a contractual agreement?

And thats exactly the point I was making.
Our lifestyles (Americans) are disgusting. American's consume, consume, consume.

Unfortunately, the people you speak of are a dead breed. And the population is infinitely larger than it was, thus making it harder to manage and govern. If we all used our morals and standards to govern us, we'd have a thousand different governments.

i believe youre part of the problem with your 600 dollar cell phone and car habit. lets be realistic. it sounds a little hypocritical . dont get me wrong.. if you earned it good for you, you are entitled to it. thats america. i dont want to change that.

Americans also produce much of the technology and other things that make the world a much better place.

If we didn't consume, we wouldn't also produce much either and we would be just another 3rd world country begging for scraps from other countries just to survive.

haha, no. Have you even looked at U.S. export figures? We export farm equipment and heavy machinery.

Sure, there's a lot of R&D here, but we don't produce jack shit.

[scabzzzz]

Thats funny, because all of the hypocrisy comes from both of you guys.

If course the right wing'ers would be calling the non-bias neutral guy a hypocrite. Jeez.

As far as technology, my cell phone was developed in Canada by Research in Motion (go figure). As far as technology, America is pretty fuckin far behind.

I'm talking mostly about tech advancements, R&D, etc...

All we has had in the past 20 years is the .com bubble. Otherwise, other countries are churning out what we are. It's the secret DARPA stuff that we are leading the way with.

Then "produce" is definitely not the word you want to use. Plus, R&D here does not profit the American economy, because as soon as they invent something, they move production and investment overseas, which just increases the amount of shit we have to import.

Do you know how unbalanced the US import/export rates are? 700 billion import, 200 billion export. Annually. This means that every year someone has to buy 500 billion dollars of our government and private debt via investment or direct purchase, and it's been China for the last decade or so. China owns us.

Are you fucking kidding me Steve?

How many cars do you own? Honestly? You do realize I ride a bicycle every day right? Winter, summer, fall, spring. I only own 1 car, and it receives gas once a month. If Nashville wasnt so spread out and it wasnt so dangerous to ride in rush hour traffic (Nashvillians), I'd sell my fuckin car.

I worked 50 hours a week, and went to school full time, for 4 years to achieve an Associates degree in Applied Computer Sciences. Guess who helped me out? Sure as fuck wasnt the government! Or my parents! In fact, the govt wouldnt even give me a loan! I qualified for NOTHING, because I made "Too much money". So I had to look at private loans, that Ill never afford to pay off because the interest is so fuckin high and consolidation is a joke.

If anything, there should be more people like me. I work hard, every week. I pay shit loads of taxes because Im single. I pay all of my bills on time, I drink like a fish and eat out every meal and tip 20% PLUS. I research gadgets I like, and I buy into them because I can. I go home, and keep to myself. I dont fuck with anyone else. I only push my agenda on this board, what, once every 6 months or so. I dont steal, or cheat anyone. I pump money into the economy like crazy, I only buy local if I can help it. I dont shop at Walmart. And I buy my fruits and vegetables from the old bitch at the corner of my street. In fact, I distinctly remember referring about 500 bucks worth of business your way from the guy sitting next to me at work JUST A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. EAD Steve

[Farbin Kaiber]

I wanna fuck you after that post.

[kronus]

Yeah, on a scale of 1 to ZING, that was up there.

True. But Farbin Kaiber's lookin' for a sugar daddy.

[scabzzzz]

Nope.

In fact, if I say Americans will eventually need socialism, that would include me too. Fucker.

[Farbin Kaiber]

It's my fault the economy is in the shitter for getting a new phone every two years.
