Lucky... 0 #56 September 11, 2010 QuoteQuote If you saw the whole clip that john stewart played last night, you would see that he blamed Bush for the tax increase. Basically he said taxes are going to go up on everyone and he was not going to extend the tax breaks, so the tax increases are Bushes fault!!! ShrubCo used reconciliation to pass TEMPORARY tax cuts, because they could not pass them any other way. Reconciliation, you know, that horrible trick that the evil Obama administration used. The TEMPORARY tax cuts are to expire, as scheduled, and the rescums are whipping the ignorant sheeple into a frenzy over the issue. How can it NOT be ShrubCo's fault that the Democrats are going to allow the tax cuts to END AS PLANNED, in the legislation that passed? Are you people really that stupid and easily led? The answer is a resounding YES, WE ARE!!! You bitch about the record defecits, but want to borrow BILLIONS of dollars to pay for the tax cuts for the top three percent of households in the USA. It is hard to believe that you all are that stupid, but there it is, the facts don't lie. That side is drawn to morons, look at AZ Gov Brewer, she can't even get out a sentence with her debate against Goddard, refused to have any more debates, as with Palin, and Brewer's ratings go from 14% to 22%. If I have a candidate I like and they refuse further debate that their oppositions want, I'm thinking they aren't trustworthy. That side likes morons.

It is hard to believe that you all are that stupid, but there it is, the facts don't lie. QuoteThat Stupid? Here's a fact for you there skippy! If the cuts are let to expire it will mean about $4,300 more out of my pocket to go to your wonderful govenrment for they can continue the out of control hand outs they love to give people. Oh Bull fucking shit, taxes aren'g going to increase at all for your brkt, the 5% increase is for teh top brkt and I have a sneaking suspicion you aren't a millionaire. QuoteThats not including my increase of property, of state taxes. And the fed has control of your state tax? These are the lies that keep your rhetoric going. QuoteWhy do you want to take more of what I already pay to give to a Gov that has already proven to everyone they cannot be trusted much less balance a fucking checkbook?

Considering I've been using the internet since the BBS days, I'm sure I remember what was. Just because there is a trend doesn't mean it's a good thing or has a positive effect. The less quote splitting there is the more you can focus on formulating a your argument in an intelligent manner. Speaker's Corner is a perfect example of terrible discussions related to a topic due to quote splitting. Additionally, using text message "lolspeak" further breaks down the intelligent lines of communication._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Or you're dealing with someone who's been around the internet long enough to remember when people in-lie quoted emails so that context was close to answer. Quote *Opinions are posted as facts. This has become worse as blogs that are in business to spread lies have somehow become a way to prove your point. no they're not :) Quote ***context removed*** you're full of it with the context removal on quote-splitting Quote *Individuals that have "learned" about finance and politics via the media over the last few years actually believe the misinformation that has been handed to them. we are a lazy bunch, and would rather take what is spoon-fed to us than go out and fetch our own answers.

ChasingBlueSky 0 #75 September 11, 2010 QuoteQuoteSome basic truths on the internet forum discussions: *The more quote splitting in a reply the more effort is being taken to remove context from the initial post. Or you're dealing with someone who's been around the internet long enough to remember when people in-lie quoted emails so that context was close to answer. Considering I've been using the internet since the BBS days, I'm sure I remember what was. Just because there is a trend doesn't mean it's a good thing or has a positive effect. The less quote splitting there is the more you can focus on formulating a your argument in an intelligent manner. Speaker's Corner is a perfect example of terrible discussions related to a topic due to quote splitting. Additionally, using text message "lolspeak" further breaks down the intelligent lines of communication._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
