Either I posted this up in a drunken state and forgot where it went, or some moderator is pulling a Bush or is too proud of his own countries' massive failure.

Stupid China...I love how they in turn send us toys with lead in them. And then everyone's all surprised about it. DUH, thats what happens when the US sells out to a country that specializes in producing products for cheap.

In 2006, buyout mogul Henry Kravis paid himself $51,400...an hour.


Is that more or less than Bush spends on the war per hour? (I'm too tired to do math right now)

Number including discouraged or underemployed 9.9 million 13.5 million


Yeah I'm one of those, lol.

Also, you know sh!t's hitting the fan when Warren Buffet is worried about the economy.

BTW Jed, politics don't bode too well here.

Figures. It is an American site, with American citizens... I guess Bush's campaign of ignorance wound up on the internets, and brainwashed all parties involved.

But alas, ignorance of the past and facts is bliss.

Sounds like an Orwellian ignorance is strength unfolding, but slowly, in a "democratic" country.

Luckily the wold is huge, and houses many other (superior) nationalities.

Perhaps I'm not familiar with how democracy works (coming from an ex socialist satellite country)

You do, of course, have to VOTE the leaders in still, right?

Why did this happen TWICE?

No, not everyone supports him anymore. I've noticed more people getting fed up with him the more time passes.

Becuse there was a rumor circulating that it was bad mojo to change a president in the middle of a war.

We try to limit the political threads on our forum because they are usually the start of tension and something positive rarely comes from them. If you'd like to debate such things, please visit www.off-topic.com

Unless it's an appropriate topic (such as a legitimate debate over the potential candidates), and is preapproved by staff, we'd like to keep these threads minimized. I see nothing positive coming from this thread. You've posted your website, now I'm closing this. You may keep starting threads, but every thread you start with this same motive and topic will be closed and warnings will be issued.

What recession?

Growth was noted for last quarter.

Political threads aren't allowed here unless cleared before hand, it keeps folks from talking out their ass like this.
