  1. Well, maybe if you didn't just jump in? Kallend made a point, I asked HIM a question. My point is reather simple, you want to claim that the principle is what bit the republicans....Then do you think it could also bite the Dems? I noticed while you jumped in, you never answered that question.
  2. Don't forget that just two years ago he was re-elected. So in truth, it seems that the major shift in US feel for the war has changed in the last two years. Predictable and expected by some.
  3. You don't agree that those that use the services should pay for them?
  4. Not really. Because you would have to factor in how much that person over their life would PAY in taxes. I don't sit in traffic. I live less than 10 miles from work. I rarely have to stop once. I live in an area that is being built....Do you like high house costs? You have a passion, but nothing supports it. You spout numbers you make up to back your position. Your argument is invalid even if your passion and intent is good. So, again, would you support not letting people below poverty have kids? They cannot support them.
  5. Ah is Bush not a Republican? Last I checked he was, so that would mean the Republicans did get hit with it. Now he said that the PP was the reason that the Dems got control. So I asked HIM, not bill, not you, if he thought the Dems were immune to the same principle. But since you chipped in, do you think the priciple will apply equally to either side no matter blue or red?
  6. So you just made up a number? That makes no sense. And if a family can support the 3-9th child, what business is it of yours if they have them? Would you support people below the poverty line not being allowed ANY children? They are a bigger drain on society than some family that can support more children. Overpopulation is a problem, but we are no where near that level.
  7. No in fact the only times I hear 'NAZI" are from some left wing posters on here.
  8. >you are the one making the claim that the reason that the Dems won >was that the repubs got hit by the Peter Principle. ?? He didn't make that claim. It doesn't even make sense when you think about it. In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He said: Who remembers the Peter Principle? Someone else said: I bought and read the book. What do I win? He said: You win DEM control of Congress. I aksed him: So the principle only applies to Republicans? He answered: With that kind of logic you should be a Republican So if the republicans got hit by the priniciple would that not mean that the same thing could happen to the dems? So I asked if he thought the Dems were immune to it.
  9. Sir, you are the one making the claim that the reasonthat the Dems won was that the repubs got hit by the Peter Principle. Do you think Dems are immune to it?
  10. Why do you feel the need to piss on her parade? She has faith, you don't. Do you have to feel you have to crush her?
  11. Quote it...Not gonna offend anyone more than making a claim and not showing anything to support it. Then maybe you should not ask for proof he does not exist? Maybe others have testimony that he does not exist...What makes you trump them in anything but your personal opinion? Sure, you don't know my religous beliefs one little bit...But you are making claims, then asking for proof. And yet you cannot provide that proof yourself...See the issue?
  12. What was that data tracking? DOW? S&P? NASDAQ? My personal return over the last 5 years is....11.3%, 3 years is over 13%, last year over 17%. And I am kinda conservative in my investments. Your graph shows -.92% for 5 years?
  13. (Attacks by Lucky bolded by me....If you can't play the ball...Kick the player?) My concern is for: 1. The majority. 2. The people who will work for a living. 3. Me. Save me your BS humanitarianism line. A logical fallacy Attacking the person. You hope to make me look bad since you claim I don't care about the poor. When you don't have NUMBERS or FACTS you always play the "Save the Children" angle. That is ANOTHER logical fallacy, Appeal to Emotion. You would think someone as learned as you claim to be would know better. How about you bring some facts not just emotional BS? More BS attacks? It is not contempt, it is simple economics. Here is a hint, if EVERYONE PAYS MORE...Then they really didn't get a raise. More insults and attacks? I didn't cry, I worked harder and got a promotion. When they tried to screw me on my raise, I started job shopping...To keep me they gave me a 7.5% raise...Next years is going to be *at least* 9-10%. good for me...If more worked to make their life better they would live better lives. Instead of waiting for someone to do something for me, I did it myself. As for me not caring about the poor...Wanna compare how much money and time I dedicated last year vs. your numbers? Also, I help take care of my parents instead of letting the government do it. So...Really, drop the childish name calling. Let me guess you are one of those that can't afford your light bill? Let me see if I get this right, you agree with the BAH example, and yet you think for a second that if min wage gets increased the landlords will not exploit that as well???? More attacks nice.... I HAVE you just make attacks on my character and ignore anything else. Sheesh really use some of that white color logical thinking you claim to have. Well if you WANT socialism or communism Thats one thing....But the US was not founded on that. Nope. try reading CNN. http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/special/issues/ 49% said Iraq was the biggest issue...Only 25% said Moral issues. 33% the Economy (hint, 49 is bigger than 33 or 25 ).....Really, quit spouting crap you can't back up. I wrote "Edit: lets try to keep this civil and on topic...Care to explain in economic terms the benefits of raising min wage?" Source? And I love how all you have done is attack me time after time. I wrote "Or how taxing the hell out of the population will help the economy?" So you want to punish those that do well, to pay people to do nothing....Got it. Really Economics 101 see if your local school has a class like that. You spout claims, but don't back them....Just like you claim that home ownership is not an economic indicator...Or the Dow Jones, or unemployment....Sheesh. How about you try to debate with FACTS, not emotional outbursts and attacks?
  14. Please quote the chapter and verse about not sharing. Besides I asked for PROOF, not your personal story. And if you are going to make claims it is IMO bad form to claim you KNOW something and not discuss it when asked.
  15. Standard fallicy...You can't prove a negative. But what proof do you have he does exist? Please don't mention the bible. So prove to me god does exist.
  16. Favorite bumper sticker. Jesus is coming!!!!!..........Quick, look busy!
  17. Yes, I have heard of them. Was that the reason the ones in ORD were torn down?
  18. ....I'll take "Things Amazon calls people who disagree with her for 100.00 Alex". As much as you throw those around, it is kinda like the chicken little story.
  19. Thats TWICE you made me laugh...You must be in a really good mood.
  20. If a Dem had done the same thing would he too be a sneaky asshole?
