This really going to go down? "this" being America

Hooray socialism!

For as big of a liberal as I am the fact that the bailout passed makes me sick. I want my $6000 back (which is more than I have invested in the f-ing stock market.)

.RJ · 10-03-2008, 02:04 PM

Where does $6000 come from?

His ass.

Sijray21 · 10-03-2008, 02:05 PM

probably near the amount he's invested in the market...

some of us have lost more than that.... :-(

Evan · 10-03-2008, 02:10 PM

no, probably every person's share of the $700 billion.

I wish it were that low. we are going to pay a lot more in interest, inflation, and low dollar value than that.

.RJ · 10-03-2008, 02:11 PM

700 billion

305 million people in the US

i think i heard on the radio it was like 300,000 for everyone over 18

.RJ · 10-03-2008, 02:13 PM

Thats funny.

I dont agree with this shit, but $300,000? Srsly... I guess the media fails at basic maths.

It was the "kill an unborn baby" that struck me as extreme conservatism and I didn't think you were that far right. Maybe you just abstracted it out to make a point but I was surprised to read it.

Don't worry, I'm still for freedom of everything... I just have to figure out which candidate has non-freedoms I can live with more.

It wasnt meant to be a political statement (I really dont feel like geting into that, especially here)
I just dont buy into the pop culture language manipulation used to change the perception of something in our head, so I call it what it is.
Everyone has their own right to be for or against it, but thats what it is.
It also happens to be much shorter to type. Tongue

as for me, with the big lurch left the whole country is making right now makes me look more conservative than I am, but Im not going to run away from that label. Unlike the zealots on each side, I still keep a critical attitude as for anything any politician does no matter the side. It just so happens that the left side does a lot more dumb shit than the right Wink

as for you, I think you're just like every other trendy yuppie liberal except with some financial sense, but you cant stand being trendy so you just call yourself libertarian :lol: :wink:

If you haven't sold anything, then you haven't lost anything. Paper v. actual loss are two completely different things...

See... that's the hitch. You're so convinced that "it is what it is" but don't concede that others may not believe that. To you, it's so black and white but don't care to see that it may just be as black and white to the other guy. I don't want to get into a debate about when life begins but that's the fundamental difference between the two beliefs. It's not that liberals have just twisted it so they can feel good about killing babies... because some actually believe it's not taking a life. They are just as entitled to their belief as you are... and that's what it is, a belief. Didn't they teach you anything about biases in grad school? Tongue

I don't believe everyone was created equal, I don't believe in socialism and I believe in the right to bear arms so I'm not really sure I qualify as a liberal. :wink:

I was mistaken, its about $2000 per person (I remembered the per-family number for some reason.)

Well, I figured this thread was a great excuse to expand my armory - picked up an M4 and a few hundred rounds of 5.56 today. First date with it is on Sunday 8)

Did you get one from CMMG?

**JohnC** · 10-03-2008, 04:45 PM

No, I threw the budget to the wind, and made an impulse purchase at the local gun store.

Bushmaster XM-15 E2S A3, in evil black.

Channing did you buy anything at the gun show? My buddy bought a Sig 556, and about 500 round of ammo, heh. It's a pretty awesome piece of equipment
