Ya, but if you multiply the current reaction by a factor of 10, you get the reaction that Clinton would have experienced, had he followed suit. EVERYthing that Clinton EVER did was met with such vitriol and such wild reactions. Please, try to deny it.

First they came for the people wearing stupid mall-bought t-shirts, and I said nothing, for I was not wearing a stupid mall-bought t-shirt. Then they came for the partially-born abortions and I said nothing, for I was not a partially-born abortion (although some posters might disagree with that). Then they came for the bong makers, and I said “can’t you grab fitness celebrity John Basedow instead?”
Do you actually know anything about the great depression, or do you just get off when you talk out of your ass? I’m not much of a Bush fan either, but nonsense rhetoric like this doesn’t exactly give your arguments credibility.
Listen here, Cocksuck. I’m not here to debate, I’m here to RANT. I’m not here to convince people of anything, I’m here to get a load off my chest. I know enough about the depression to know we’re not in one, but once again, this is for MY benefit, not yours.
Get over yourself, there’s no need to correct anybody’s rant. Fucking moron.

You could do that in front of the mirror, especially since you don’t know the first fucking thing about what you’re talking about, might save you some embarassment.
Leave your post-sexual cleanup procedures at the door when you enter, please.
Then get your own forum and be the only member so no one has to listen to your spouting shit like a venomous Playboy air freshener.
I swear to God, sometimes I actually believe that some of you are just pissed off because YOU weren’t giving Clinton the knob shine. If you don’t like how things are being run, then quit crying long enough to make a change or get the fuck out! I’m sure the only reason the Baldwins haven’t left yet is because they are waiting to get enough people to fill a plane so they can save a few bucks on a group rate. Maybe you should contact their PR guys.
I’m sorry, but I feel the need to visit this again. Freido, I’m absolutely shocked that you could take my comments so out of whack. I posted this thread because current events are overwhelming me. THings are spinning out of control, and apparently about 70% of the US thinks this is ok(current pro-war polls). I on the other hand, do not.
Dubya has ignored our economy in a one-track focus to bring us to war. We are now IMO, in a recession that will be comparable to the recession of the early 90s. IMO(once again), we won’t have a rebound quite like the last time. Although I do think many things could have been done ion the last year and a half to prevent or lessen the blow to the economy. In the last 8 months, the Fed, the president, and his advisors have done NOTHING.
I stand by my last post when I say that I am here for my benefit, not yours, and credibility be damned. It was more of an emotion-driven comment and I almost posted right afterwards to correct myself, but I really don’t care. This is exactly why I don’t hang out in GD-people take things out of context and blow it all out of proportion.
I also apologize for the attitude shown you in the above post-you seem to have caught me in a mood there. Just don’t be such a dick when there’s no reason to.

Just chiming in to say that Mojo’s brilliance deserves recogniiton. I particularly love the bit about partal birth abortions…

oops…
Double post.
I never said there was anything wrong with that.
I fail to see how this is a justification of stating something so far out of the realm of rational hyperbole on a board dedicated to fighting Ignorance, even if it is a rant. Your comparison of the current economy to the great depression is simply shocking and insulting, even if it wasn’t meant to be taken literally. It’s an economic Godwin’s Law, and it makes you look like an ass.
If you want to rant for your own benefit, you could always start your own web page. When you post a rant here, you do it to stroke your own ego. That’s pretty much the only reason I rant here, anyway. On occasion, though, it’s to share knowledge, correct an ignorant schmuck, or to ask for advice. I’m afraid I can’t tolerate such perversions of historical fact, even if something is said in the heat of the moment.
No problem.
California, Gawd. You live in California.
