Hell, I wasn’t even talking about the Government employing anyone; this was talking about tariffs. But if he means the Government putting 16 million people to work by any means, is damaging the economy, that Tranzor Z boy ain’t bright. That or he thinks 16 million jobless Americans are better off not earning a paycheck. Or maybe he’s one of the “Throw them under the bus” crowd.
At this point I’m waiting for Aphrodite A to jump into this at some point. Give this Mazinger dude a partner, they’d make Team Rocket look like Gokuu.
The more pro-offshoring people argue their case the smarter they make Wile E. Coyote look.
Yeah, I’m making a slew of cartoon references to this argument - because pro-offshoring people are little more than 2d caricatures. It’s getting to be fun driving them to temper tantrum fits because their arguments are shit and they’re getting cornered time and time again by their own bullshit.
Yes, I know, I’m taunting you guys. Get used to it; your life is only going to get harder as more opposition to offshoring keeps on coming from more and more people. Eventually we’ll take you out at the ballot box, too; that’s when you’ll really be eating your crow dry.
He’s also fond of declaring victory for himself, even when it’s clear to everyone except him (and probably Gonzo and maybe a few other clueless 'dopers) that he doesn’t have any idea what he’s talking about. It’s pretty freaking hilarious. I also love stuff like this:
Delusional. He really thinks that his lack of response towards me is some sort of punishment, and that it’s making me angry. As if his responses are some sort of incredible gift and by denying them to me it is causing physical and emotional pain.
He’s certainly a troll, and a particularly stupid one at that. For a while I was puzzled by the fact that not a lot of 'dopers were engaging him in his obvious bullshit, but then I realized…most of them are probably completely ignoring him and don’t consider him worth their time to respond too.
I give him a couple more weeks at most before the Mod Hammer of Doom comes down on him and he’s banned. Shame really…the harm he does his own ‘side’ coupled with the comic value of his posts will be sadly missing in the future.
Yeah, that’s easy to do when you just make shit up and don’t care about whether you get the facts straight. I’m still waiting (not) for Shit-for-Brains to back up the claim that China requires cars to be manufactured domestically. Actually **SfB **needs to retract that since I already showed they don’t.
Or, like SfB’s latest claim that:
It’s not because of offshoring, it’s because we went through a recession. It’s like **SfB **is 12 years old and has never seen a recession before, and so thinks it’s permanent. The CEA data shows that sales fell in 2009 (duh… we had the worst recession in 50 years), but that growth is back in 2010 and 2011 is expected to surpass the highs of 2008. Basically, we lost 2 years of growth because of the recession.
That kind of stuff is too complicated for **SfB **to understand.
The whole ‘we’re in a recession’ thingy is clearly beyond his grasp, since it’s been brought up multiple times. He is totally fixated on offshoring and tariffs to the exclusion of anything else. And clearly he hasn’t got the least idea how real world economics works, what the actual effects of offshoring are, how large the scale of the ‘problem’ of offshoring/outsourcing or even automation (which he also has a bug up his ass about) actually is, what real world effect tariffs have or even the difference between a country like China and one like the US (he seems to think they are exactly the same and should operate the same…of course, he also clearly hasn’t got clue one how even China operates, or the real factors for their growth and success, nor the real pitfalls they are heading for if they keep on like they have been).
His main ‘debate’ tactic seems to be to simply declare victory and then constantly troll those he’s still talking too (like a child he simply stops talking to anyone who annoys him or pisses him off) with little snide comments about how he’s pwn’ed them in every debate and on every point. The funny thing is I seriously doubt the Mods haven’t taken notice of such tactics and aren’t building a file on this ass clown. Guys like him will keep pushing until we see BANNED under his name.
This is why I suspect he will be self-limiting. His modus operandus seems to be to put anyone who ever refuted one of his points on ignore. Therefore, in a few months he will be talking pretty much only to gonzomax, and how long can anyone survive much of that?
John Blockhead you have zero understanding of what the word ‘facts’ means.
And in reading past debates, Gonzomax has handed you your silly ass on a platter so many times, no wonder you’re so dizzy you think you’re better than him.
Well, there you go John. Not only has LeJackAssALope pwned you in every debate, but you can’t even compete with Gonzo! Dude…you should seriously hang your head in shame and possibly take up knitting or something like that.
And seriously, Google ‘facts’ because the horned one says you don’t know what that means…
Possibly one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen here on the 'dope. It’s a shame he waited to post this bit of wisdom until today…he would have had a good shot at The Stupidest Post for 2010 if he just had gotten it in under the wire. Ah well…there is always 2011.
If only I had the knowledge and debating skills of Gonzo.
I’m not sure how he could have handed me my ass in debates, since he’s one of the people I generally don’t bother responding to. Maybe once in awhile to challenge one of his more outrageously stupid posts, but not very often.
The funny think about Shit-for-Brains is the way he just posts essentially random links to support his “sky is falling” thesis. Like this. He’s too stupid or uneducated to know that Intel is a global corporation with manufacturing, design, and R&D done all over the world. Expanding in China is one of the smartest things to do-- the potential market is huge. The surest way to doom a high tech company like Intel would be to shelter it in one market and ignore the fact that we live in a global economy.
As one who lurks in most of the GD threads that you guys are talking about, I would love to see you cite an example of gonzomax pwning John Mace, because I sure as hell haven’t seen it happen.
He really thinks that his lack of response towards me is some sort of punishment, and that it’s making me angry. As if his responses are some sort of incredible gift and by denying them to me it is causing physical and emotional pain.
