He's only here to hijack threads between beer runs to AM/PM for another 18-pak of PBR

He'll tank up, and go surf for gay amputee porn soon enough...

[LoungeMachine]

Anyway....

Serious thread from Nick...

Let's not let another thome drunken rant derail it...

Someone told me long ago theres a calm before the storm,
I know; its been comin for some time.
When its over, so they say, itll rain a sunny day,
I know; shinin down like water.

Chorus:
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; been that way for all my time.
til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; it cant stop, I wonder.

Protectionism leads to inflation which would really finish you...

Which is why I'd rather go back to when we actually made stuff in the US. Imports existed, but there were tariffs in place to keep the corporations from doing all the shit they are doing now, outsourcing for cheap labor.

There were plenty of Japanese and German cars here in the 70's, and Japanese electronics for that matter, but it wasn't killing US business or labor.

Essentially, we need to undo everything done to the economy over the last 28 years. "Trickle Down Economics" amounts to pissing on the middle class, and they have just about pissed it out of existence.

Damn dude, it's nearly impossible to find anything made here anymore. Off the top of my head I can think of Buck Knives. Actually one of the products made much better than any other & proudly in the USA. But even the long time American staples Chevy & Ford have most of their parts made overseas or Mexico.

Just remembered Budweiser, Miller & Coors. But just the beer. If you get a Budweiser t-shirt, chances are it was made in Taiwan.

You should see your local college about teaching a new class - 'Amish Economics'

I still wanna know why I have to "Enlist "in order to post my op?

You all post non-stop about "Things" and I see no stripes on your shirt?

If I wasn't to old, I may think about it.

Tired worn out broken beat up trashed nogood fer nuttin.

Too bad the war isn't at club med, they always fight these things in the bad areas of the world against the real assholes of the world.

Well,I guess that last sentence speaks .

Would you have paid money out of your pocket as you say if Clitt'n would have stood up about Rwanda?

There is more going on in Iraq than what CNN reports.

Taxpayers in Detroit, Michigan will pay $20.5 million for proposed ballistic missile defense in FY2009. For the same amount of money, the following could have been provided:

28,827 Homes with Renewable Electricity
