This thread is obviously a YANKEY IMPERIALIST tactic to divert attention from the 0.1% DROP IN NEW HOUSING STARTS IN THE THIRD QUARTER under the NAZI BUSH REGIME!!!!!!

Reply to Canada Said What??? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

On behalf of all Canadians I'd like to thank the American taxpayer (well, I should be thanking China for fronting the Bankrupt States of America the cash, but that's another matter) for paying for the missle defense shield that protects my country. I enjoy the free medicare that this scam brings me; I'm happy it's you, not me, who pays for this. Seriously, the missle defense thingie is a complicated issue (does it even work, and would you wan

I'm not sure which part of 'The USA owes its creditors about $4.4 trillion right now' you guys don't understand, but I'll try to explain. The USA owes its creditors about $4.4 trillion right now. Paying all that interest means more borrowing – which requires still more loans to keep “rolling over” all those 10-year Treasury notes as they become due for repayment plus interest. But with the dollar plummeting in value and inflation risi

Dr. Miller, countries other than Thailand were hit by the tsunami. Additionally, at no time did anyone other than you state that 'thousands' of tourists died, though it is likely - and not disproven by your article. In essence, you are arguing with yourself. To recap: you called BS that 'many' were tourists, made up some strawman shit about 'thousands', and posted an article that disproved nothing. Hundreds = many, OK? If anything is BS in this t

Dr. Guy - 'Money thrown into a sink hole does not fill it up. Money spent to help people fills the hole. Let us compare at the end when instead of spitting into a sink hole, it is spent to help the people. Until then, throw what you want into the hole. Everyone has one.' Huh? This is possibly the least cogent response I have ever seen.

Pipe down. Lee1776, you are politicizing and obfuscating a tragedy. Not the time to be whinging about how much the world hates America, it's not all about you. Pretty sick of you to deflect legitimate criticism of a very questionable article by twisting it into justification for the Iraq invasion and whatever the hell you are going on about. You can keep your two cents next time.

Reply to They dare to call us "stingy"? in Politics JoeUser Forums

It's obvious that the 'stingy' comment was regarding the general level of foreign aid among developed countries. It is equally obvious that the rabid right wingers have seized upon this comment (quaint notions like 'truth' and 'context' be damned) like a bunch of drama queens; it gives them something to howl about.. My theory is that all American rightwingers have synchronized their ovulation and erupt in an estogen laced fury over some perceived sli

hitparade - 'General Bush' - I see that now the election is over a number of right wing bloggers have openly taken to calling GWB 'General Bush' or 'Our Leader'. We don't do that sort of thing in civilized countries anymore. This is further proof of the militaristic mindset of these folks. This also reminds me of how ClearChannel is now displaying huge billobard ads with a picture of Bush and the caption 'Our Leader'. How North Korean. '
