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

[ViPER1313]

Either way, this guilt by association game is a losing strategy for the McCain campaign. Hillary tried it and failed, so it'd be pretty silly to believe that pulling it out of mothballs 30 days before the election is going to net any different results than Hillary got.

I never really get why both parties go after each other with this sort of BS. I'm sure if you dug into any one of our past's you could find something similar (ex... your boss was a convicted sex offender, college professor X was part of this group, etc....) Why the pastor Wright issue became news worthy still baffles me....

omg they found a dollar on Wall Street! :lol: We're saved!

Probably because he sat in the church pews for 20 years listening to him, and was somehow oblivious to the message?

What message is this? The short video clips from 1 or 2 sermons that were put on Youtube? Are you naive enough to think you can judge 20 years of work based off sound bytes and short video clips.

BTW, Bill Clinton was a longtime member of Wright's church as well, and no one nailed him to the cross over being in the guy's prescience.

welcome to just about every single election season Adam, where any and every elected office is defined by a series of 10 sec sound bytes of any and every candidates' past.

Now I-I-I asked the Lord, ÔÇ£What should our response be in light of such an unthinkable act?ÔÇØ But before I share with you what the Lord showed me, I want to give you one of my little faith footnotes. Visitors often get faith footnotes, so that our members donÔÇÖt lose site of the big picture. Let me give you a little faith foot note. Turn your neighbors say ÔÇ£faith footnote.ÔÇØ

I heard Ambassador Peck on an interview yesterday. Did anybody else see him or hear him? He was on Fox news. This is a white man and he was upsetting the Fox news commentators to no end. He pointed out. You see him John? A white man he pointed out ÔÇôan Ambassador! He pointed out that what Malcolm X said when he got silenced by Elijah Mohammad was in fact true. AmericaÔÇÖs chickens are coming home to roost!

We took this country by terror away from the Sioux, the Apache, the Arawak, the Comanche, the Arapaho, the Navajo. Terrorism! We took Africans from their country to build our way of ease and kept them enslaved and living in fear. Terrorism! We bombed Grenada and killed innocent babies, non military personnel. We bombed the black civilian community of Panama with stealth bombers and killed unarmed teenagers and toddlers, pregnant mothers and hard-working fathers. We bombed GadhaffiÔÇÖs home and killed his child. Blessed are they who bash your childrenÔÇÖs head against a rock! We bombed Iraq. We killed unarmed civilians trying to make a living. We bombed a plant in Sudan to payback for the attack on our embassy. Killed hundreds of hard-working people; mothers and fathers who left home to go that day, not knowing that they would never get back home. We bombed Hiroshima! We bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye! Kids playing in the playground , mothers picking up children after school, civilians ÔÇô not soldiers ÔÇô people just trying to make it day by day. We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and Black South Africans, and now we are indignant??? Because the stuff we have done overseas has now been brought back into our own front yard! AmericaÔÇÖs chickens are coming home to roost!

Violence begets violence. Hatred begets hatred and terrorism begets terrorism. A white Ambassador said that yÔÇÖall not a black militant. Not a Reverend who preaches about racism. An Ambassador whose eyes are wide open, and whoÔÇÖs trying to get us to wake up and move away from this dangerous precipice upon which we are now poised. The ambassador said that the people we have wounded donÔÇÖt have the military capability we have but they do have individuals who are willing to die and to take thousands with them and we need to come to grips with that. Let me stop my faith footnote right there and ask you to think about that over the next few weeks if God grants us that many days. Turn back to your neighbor say ÔÇ£footnote is over.ÔÇØ

So, our past actions, including ending WW2, brought it on us. Check.

NAW, thay just hat democracy an freedom.

Really, pick up a history book. Actually, a few of them, starting with the creation of Israel after WW2 and the deals we made with the Arabic states during.

Just so you know, the United Nations created Israel, not the United States.

The politics and "causes" of the situations in that area are alot more complex than even "a history book" will tell you. Alot of what we have now *is* blowback, but it's got more to do with direct interference with sovereign foreign governments than it does support of Israel... the Israeli state is just a talking point for radicals.

I'm too lazy to click thru, was it this thread we predicted 9000 being the bottom? Oh well...

I think mikey predicted 9500?

there is a good possibility of a rally tomorrow to take advantage of the low prices (but people have been saying that since day 4 of losses)

I call 7500 next year sometime, but Im pretty pessimistic.
If it does hit 7500 and I still havent bought a house Im going all in.

Another 500+ point drop today. What the hell is this world coming to?

We're at 8519

circuit city files for bankruptcy. DHL discontinues ground and air operations in CONUS

What's kind of funny, is that in the class I am currently taking (Management of Technical Organizations) I read a book about companies that went from 'good to great' and sustained it for 15 years....circuit city is on the list....so is fannie mae...kinda funny

[Evan]

+1 on DHL. fuck them hard.

I go to CC when I'm buying something, but each and every one of their stores I've ever been in feels weird / isn't set up in a logical way and their employees and more annoying. For that reason, I go to BB whenever I'm browsing.

[Apoc]

And I still dont get why people go to WorstBuy over CircuitCity

I don't really get why anyone goes to either. I guess if you needed something fast but I've never found either place's prices to be competitive.
