    The government forced fanny/freddie to allow the bad mortages, because they felt everyone deserved a fair chance. There's a REASON that hobos and hoes can't get huge home loans - they have high risk, and no one wants to lend to them...

    Obama is horrible - I think he's going the entirely wrong direction on everything. I dislike him a great deal and in no way do I trust his judgment or leadership. The fact that we haven't done a single thing about North Korean is ridiculous. They're testing Obama, and now they know they can get away with anything.

It's disgusting.
      Which is where small gov't comes in.

      Since you want to wax philosophical about definitions and what words mean, how exactly has the ecosystem been DESTROYED?

      Destroy != Damaged.

      If the ecosystem had been truly DESTROYED, ie no longer supports life, then we wouldn't be here arguing over the internet on your plastic keyboard and computer that were made from Petroleum products. Or was transported to the store and then to your house with more Petroleum products. Or the electricity powering it coming from fossil fuels, while high on weed grown using petroleum based fertilizers........

      I know you greenies like to talk about oil spills, but what percentage of pumped oil in modern history has ended up in a catastrophic oil spill damaging the environment? As a small tidbit, over the last 25 years, .001% of all oil pumped off-shore has ended up spilled in the ocean.

      I'd say that's a pretty fucking good track record wouldn't you?

        This. h0lmes puts way too much weight on the "data" he is fed by society.

          yes!

          people wont accept facts like this that go against all the "facts" fed to them by the media and people they know.

          side note- ive never fertilized any plants with petroleum based fertilizers or any of that shit! its fucked up to think about the commercial or large-scale growing practices though...

                Who gives a shit about oil spills, more oil just seeps out of the ground every year from this ONE field than could ever happen in even several large accidents,

                Twenty years ago, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez was exiting Alaska's Prince William Sound when it struck a reef in the middle of the night. What happened next is considered one of the nation's worst environmental disasters: 10.8 million gallons of crude oil spilled into the pristine Alaskan waters, eventually covering 11,000 square miles of ocean. Now, imagine 8 to 80 times the amount of oil spilled in the Exxon Valdez accident. According to new research, that's how much oil has made its way into sediments offshore from petroleum seeps near Coal Oil Point in the Santa Barbara Channel.

                          i legit know nothing about politics but i do feel like many people loving Obama more and more & not seeing that he basically is turning our country communist. My parents came to this country to get away from communism and now they feel like its coming right back. im not for Obama and not against i just hope the United States will stay the United States and not become the communist breeding ground.
