Fırst of all, Rush Lımbaugh (sp?) ıs a fuckıng joke... I'm not even lıberal and I stıll thınk thıs ıs retarded.
Our Media is fucking retarded and that includes Fox
Fox ıs full of shıt 24/7.
you can no longer make as much money as you want in this country, or at least is strongly frowned upon.
It's completely ıgnorant to blame taxes for people's shortcomıngs. The amount of money or your posessıons have nothıng to do wıth success. If you thınk beıng a mıllıonaıre wıll make you happy or somehow content , then you're goıng to lıve a very pathetıc lıfe.
- The Air France plane could of been destroyed by terrorists, we dont hear about it even though france thinks so
Whenever a tragedy happens, nobody can be satısfıed wıth the sımple explaınatıon. They want ıt to be more dramatıc than ıt actually ıs. Sayıng ıt was destroyed by terrorısts ıs just another conspıracy, just lıke JFK, the moon landıng, sept 11, ect. People wıll always belıeve ın these thıngs because they want to belıeve there ıs somethıng more goıng on.
-whenever there is a terrorist attack, natural disaster, war, famine, tyranny, hunger, America is the first one the world calls to come fix it. deal with your own problems.
Amerıca ıs the only country to spıll blood or $ to fıght genocıde. We have so much more money than most people on the planet, ıt would be selfısh for us not to.
-Certain detainees, sorry, terrorists, if i can still use that word, are being read their Miranda rights overseas? what? did i hear that correctly? since when did these terrorists become U.S., law abidding citizens?
How about we send some Iraqıs to your house to arrest and torture you. How would you lıke that? Oh, forgıve me, Amerıca doesn't use torture, we use Harsh ınterrogatıon technıques.
I SENT THIS MESSAGE TO A FELLOW NSER:
i have some good jokes ive heard on Rush Limbaughs show (yes i listen to Rush
smetimes, haha but don't tell anybody i said that :)
Anyone who listens to
Limbaugh, other than to yell at the radio, should not be allowed to participate
in intelligent debate.
- Our Media is fucking retarded and that includes Fox
Listen to NPR and read
news articles, not opinion pieces, stay far far away from cable news of any
type.
-you can no longer make as much money as you want in this country, or at least
is strongly frowned upon.
Just can’t understand this one at all. Everyone wants to make more money and it is generally accepted. You are confusing stealing and scamming like the CEO’s of some very large companies. I can’t think of anyone who is against people earning money by contributing to society and not by exploiting it.
-normally the economy fixes itself, not this time because we are being
restricted to death. no wonder everybody is outsourcing their operations,
wouldn't you.
What? People outsource certain facets of their companies because it is cheaper to employ people from countries that have low wage and living standards. What do restrictions and outsourcing have in common I do not know. Are you are thinking that workers rights and quality of life are restrictions? The economy became the way it is partly because a lack of restrictions on the financial sector which allowed insane practices like credit default swaps and irresponsible lending practices. I don’t think you have really thought through what you are thinking here. Another thing that is interesting is that once an economy transfers to a banking and stock driven economy it fails, why? Because they are creating nothing they are moving money around with the illusion of profit and not creating anything. The US needs to invest heavily in higher education and science and technology. This is the main reason I hated the Bush white house which made this country one of the most unintelligent industrialized countries. Basically Reaganomics failed and the trickle down never happened (not that anyone thought it would) The middle class is being warred on and the rich are running away with the country.
-lower the fucking corporate tax rates already.
How about lowering the
taxes on small business and individuals and nationalizing health care which
would lift an enormous burden on entrepreneurship. This would be much more effective.
- Germany and Japan are in a worse recession than we are
Depends on which indicators you are looking at but this is partly true.
- there are terrorist attacks overseas in retaliation to Obamas peace gesture
with the muslims---- yet nobody reports it, not even fox ( i guess this one
could be argued)
Extremists are feeling their base erode away and are attacking to solidify their positions. Do you think a gesture of peace is more harmful than Bush saying that we are at war with the Islamic world?
- Michael Savage is still banned in England, i love that guy, no homo
Dousche bag, yes, in the highest degree. He is hateful and stupid, very stupid. However banning a man because of his beliefs is against freedom of speech and the magna carta. But he did encourage violence against the muslim people and is a racist horrible person.
- The Air France plane could of been destroyed by terrorists, we dont hear
about it even though france thinks so
Evidence has ruled out this possibility as described by both the FAA and the French authorities investigating the crash. It was most likely a discrepancy in air speed caused by frozen piot tubes interacting with the autopilot along with storm conditions. But I guess anything is possible and it could have been an act of terrorism, no terrorist group took credit and no evidence has been found to support this point. We will never be able to prevent terrorist attacks the only way to support our freedom is by eliminating the need to radical terrorist by sound and transparent foreign policy, not isolation and mistrust.
-whenever there is a terrorist attack, natural disaster, war, famine, tyranny,
hunger, America is the first one the world calls to come fix it. deal with your
own problems.
American maintain the
highest quality of life consuming the majority of the worlds goods. We have it great and moving into a connected
world society it is our responsibility to bring the rest of the world with us. There are 6 billion people in this world
most of them have to walk more than 2 miles to get fresh water and we complain
when the power goes out for an hour.
When you have the power to help it is criminal to do nothing.
-did that lady really call 911 when Mcdonalds ran out of chicken nuggets?
really? please tell me that was a joke because our general public cannot be
that stupid.
A symptom of the dumbing
of America. We are stupid and clinging
to religion which is the stupidest fucking thing I can think of. Caused by not funding education plain and
simple. What pisses me off is every
time there is a ballot issue to raise education funding there is
opposition. It baffles me people are so
afraid of paying taxes they are willing to damn future generations.
- our country is moving towards socialism while the rest of the free world
(mainly Europe) is moving away from socialism because its not working (france,
Britain..)
What? No you are wrong if by socialism you mean excellent national health care, free education, and a host of other improvements you are crazy. Go to Norway they are arguably the most social of Europe and they are the best off. For god sakes the min wage is over $20 an hour. They are way way way way better off than the majority of the US. I lived there for 4 months and the quality of life makes most of the US look like a slum. And when I said the US had the best quality of life above I meant for a large global power.
- The world is laughing at us, Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea
probably because we are so fucking obsessed with pop culture and not actual events. This will change when we get our heads out of our asses or something tragic happens to us.
-China just recently bough enough oil reserves for the next 10 years or
something when oil was 30 something a barrel. (don't quote me on that one) and
we are worried about man-made global warming?
They might have secured some contracts at low oil prices. What are you saying about global warming?
- China is yelling at us for printing too much money. how could they not? since
they are the largest shareholder of U.S. Debt, id be pissed if i was China and
we were ruining our dollar.
Our dollar is much stronger than when Bush was in office. There is a possibility of inflation but a much bigger issue is deflation which we have to deal with now.
- our dollar is crap and has been taken off some countries lists for a world
currency
no no no no no no. They might have moved from the dollar to the Euro because of the volatile nature of the dollar under Bush but you make no sense when you say they take it off the list of world currencies which does not exist and is so foolish it almost makes me want to stop answering the rest of these bullet points.
- North korea is fuckng insane, captures our citizens and puts them in labor
camps for 12 years- We do nothing
North Korea has to be
dealt with and should have been a priority over Iraq. They are the worst of the worst and are evil people. We should do something and just watch within
the next 5 years there will be a violent and earth shattering situation with
NK.
-oh, I heard a good one today. Scientists think that in a couple more billion
years that earth will collide with either Mars or Venus? WTF? like anybody will
be around then anyways.
Didn’t hear about this but that just reinforces the fact that we need to invest in science and technology so that we can move into becoming a class 1 and 2 global society.
- Obama, while in the middle east, claims that every country is equal yet does
not bring his wife over because women are treated worse than a homeless dog and
she probably would have had an assassination attempt on her for showing here in
public in a short sleeve shirt. yeah, every country is equal as long as America
is considered worse off than the muslim world. Obama you hypocrite.
Its called politics, it doesn’t work if you go in and tell them that you are better than them and they have to do what you say. We had 8 years of that tactic.
-both Bush's and Obama's bailout money cannot be tracked.
There is a committee
tracking all of the bail out money and you can look it up online, however it is
poorly maintained and completely understaffed but it is traceable. You are mistaken.
-the Federal Government couldn't budget a homeless guys wallet let alone the
new budget for the country
Then you don’t believe in
government and you are an anarchist which is alright but this is what gets me
about the Republican party. How can you
participate and respect government if you don’t believe in it.
-Dick Chenney always looks evil doesn't he?
Even fox compares him to
the emperor from star wars.
-Iran is simply nuts, even Hitler didn't openly admit he wanted to destroy the
Jews.
Actions speak louder than words… But Iran is nuts, why? The same reason the US is nuts RELIGION!
-we have active hezbollah terrorist cells all over the United states but our
government is worried about returning vets as terrorists? really?
Um we have entities that have contributed funds so Hezbollah but they are not really active and have not attacked the United states. However once their connection to terrorism was established they were prosecuted.
-Certain detainees, sorry, terrorists, if i can still use that word, are being
read their Miranda rights overseas? what? did i hear that correctly? since when
did these terrorists become U.S., law abidding citizens?
This is a little extreme
but it is important for the US to maintain its moral superiority. Well maybe recover it after what has
happened.
- people are calling this the Great Recession.
Could be…
-However, the economy will recover, it always does.
Not always, sometimes there is collapse. Look at ancient civilizations. But keep the optimistic view it is important to recovery.
- people still are having kids, people still need food, entertainment,
clothing, furniture, cars... etc. the economy is just in a transition period
right now.
People can have these things if they cant buy them. 10% unemployment. 1 in 10 people is out of work. 20% of college grads have jobs compared to 59% last year. We are in trouble and drastic steps need to be taken.
-if you have any money right now go out and spend it, there are great deals out
their. true great deals.
True. If you have money, which most people don’t. I do and I am spending money but it is scary because you want to save incase something happens so it is a catch 22.
yeah its a great thing that you can sell stuff you never owned/plan to own (but i guess you dont understand that)! its great that banks were allowed to give every single person in the world credits regardless if they can afford it!
