Don’t have to be nice to them, have to live with them. For now. The Wall beckons…
I am so glad you started a Pit thread. I am sure someone else would have done the honor for you. You are a jackass. You are also among the most unpleasant, shrillest and least educated posters I have ever seen. Your understanding of international trade and economics is surpassed by my cat Paul, my two year old and my belly button lint.
I am also ignorant of many things, but I choose not to post about them. Perhaps you should consider the same course of action.
I crap bigger than jackemoff
If you only posted about what you knew you’d have cut your ethernet cable by now you worthless shitsack. Who fathered your two year old anyway? I’m sure it was a neighbor, but maybe you weren’t told that?
It was better in the original Klingon.
Sorry, Shodan, I can’t resist. I tried to resist, but I just can’t.
Le Jacquelope, assuming that you have not followed through on your threat to put everybody on ignore, I would like to ask you why you think that the 14th Amendment, Section 4, would not bar default on public debt. It says explicitly that
Is that ambiguous? Really? So it is apparently your contention that some of us are dumb because we can read what is stated as plainly as can be, yet you expect us to swallow things that are quite clearly not written into the Constitution as rights that are protected by the same?
But I have no idea what I’m talking about. Plain English? The law? Pshaw. What difference does the law make in the face of your beliefs? All they do is get in the way of the liberal train comin’ down the tracks whether we like it or not. They certainly never stopped the prototypical “liberal”, as it were, which is where I presume you’re getting your ideas about abrogating debt from.
And yet, “conservatives” are the bad guys. You betcha. All Aboard! It’s funny that your position is right in line with that evil conservative, Barry Goldwater, who said
There’s no irony there whatsoever.
How did you put Shodan on ignore ages ago when your join date is sept, 2010?
Bigotry is fun, isn’t it?
A threat I never made. I never said I’d put EVERYONE on ignore. Can you show where I said that?
As for the 14th Amendment forbidding defaulting on foreign debt … um… HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAA. Um, yeah. Congress, particularly the Republicans, could just refuse to authorize the raising of the debt limit and the printing of money to service it. Please read. sigh Can we now retire this nonsense please?
Huh?
Defaulting on the debt has often been a Conservative idea. Also look up Nobel Prize-winning economist James M. Buchanan and “The Ethics of Debt Default”.
Oh God, I’ve been suckered in too far already. You just go with what you believe, ok?
I love that the level of discourse on a board about “fighting ignorance” has basically devolved into:
“No, Liberals!”
“No, Conservatives!”
“Liberal” and “conservative” aren’t even antithetical, for fucks sake!
Oh man. This explains a lot.
Is it wrong that I hear that in the voice of Ambassador Kosh?
More on a continuing theme:
Seriously, dude, get help or get laid or something.
Ah, the “I know you are but what am I?” comeback.
Yup, you just jumped the shark.
Just. What? I…
Amazing.
I am merely pointing out that you liberally [sic] litter your responses with allusions to masculinity and virility. Clearly impotence is something that preoccupies you on a subconscious level. There is no shame in this - I hear it happens to all men sometimes.
Who are you?
Darn you! Darn you to heck!
Regards,
Shodan
What do you want?
:dubious: Hmm… seems to me pretty unlikely that both of these sentiments could truthfully be expressed by the same person (or persona). Never met a retired person yet who wanted “the system” to collapse - at least not until after they’re dead.
Then again, maybe you really are a member of the Viagra set.
I put my money into stuff that my family can survive with just fine if hell breaks loose. Plus I live nearby a few farmers that I’m friends with. My basic electricity needs are fairly well covered with solar panels no matter what goes down (although computers may not run so well in the long run, especially in the winter, and internet service may go poof). Plus, I’ve got people I can rely on in hard times.
The fact is, much harder times are coming. You can debate whether one is right to look forward to it or not; meanwhile, I’m preparing.
Besides, if this economic system continues to limp along for decades on end, it’ll collapse anyway… with even more drastic consequences.
Wow, you guys love the “I know you are but what am I?” comeback.
“You can’t get any.”
“Oh yeah! Well YOU can’t get any!”
WTF.
