Vaeliorin Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I don't know ... last night I heard Americans et al. may obtain a free college education in Germany, taught in English. Not a bad idea to relocate. Do you know how long it takes to repay student loans ... longer than a heart has beats. If only college wasn't over many, many years ago. Not that I wouldn't mind going back and studying something else, mind you, but I doubt that's the intent of such a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barothmuk Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Guys can I ask you all a question, it seems none of you are prepared to vote Clinton....I won't lie, I'm disappointed But are you sure its not some misplaced view around the fact she is a women? It may be a subconscious view that you arent necessarily aware of..and this is not meant as an insult many people in my country say they aren't ready to vote for a women? It just may be best to acknowledge it...get it out there ? Nice one Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I usually vote for people i find virtous, knowledgeable, honest and refuse to take a bribe. I can accept that some have more fallacies than others, but still have some of those characteristics previously mentioned. Hillary has none of those mentioned. I would vote for Volvo if i was an American citizen in this election.

Part of the reason you wouldn't vote for Clinton is that she is a women?

I know that you want to start a ruse, and honestly and with cherry on top: I do not care about her having a fee-fee or not. 1 "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Who are the Republicans? That really is the question. Every election they present themselves as the party of limited government and fiscal responsibility. Then once they get elected they act like anything but. I've said this a number of times but the only thing I hate more than the Republicans are the Democrats. But I will hand it to the Dems on one thing. They are honest about their intentions. They do not value freedom, or individual liberty, or private property, or Federalism and they do not pretend that their aim is anything other than to take all these things away in the name of a "fair" and "just" society where they control everything and everyone.Republicans are just Democrats who have to run in conservative districts, so they lie. Another way to think of them is as a branch of the Chamber of Commerce. I usually vote for people i find virtous, knowledgeable, honest and refuse to take a bribe. I can accept that some have more fallacies than others, but still have some of those characteristics previously mentioned. Hillary has none of those mentioned. I would vote for Volvo if i was an American citizen in this election. What do you do if no one has any of those characteristics? Because that's the situation over here. I don't know how we'd vote for Volvo, or why. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Guard Dog Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I've pointedly ignored all the debates up to now. But I watched the democrat debate tonight. Hillary Clinton did a great job sounding confident while saying absolutely nothing. Bernie Sanders displayed a shocking lack of knowledge on economics. His idea to pay for free healthcare and educations for all is to tax capital gains, stock trades and a value added tax (basically a consumption tax for businesses). That's great, so we'll have a lot of college educated folks with great health and no jobs because they were all taxed out of existence. He seems to think capital gains taxes won't hurt the middle class but does he not understand the sale of homes and real assets that most middle class folks have are capital gains? And he does not seem to understand who ultimately pays for any tax on business; the consumer. And the idea of a $15 minimum wage sounds great but how many workers will McDonalds need when no one wants to pay $20 for a f-----g hamburger? There was another guy on that stage, O'Malley something. He squeaked like a mouse and talked about some far away fantasy land called Maryland a lot but didn't add much to the conversation. The only thing that was said that I completely agree with was from Sanders when he said we needed to re-enact Glass-Stengal. 100% correct. The day that Bill Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Biley Act and repealed that law is the day we forgot the lessons of 1929 and set into motion the events of 2006-2008.

Namutree Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hilzilla promises to close half the schools in America : http://www.weeklystandard.com/clinton-i-wouldnt-keep-any-school-open-that-wasnt-doing-a-better-than-average-job/article/2000327?custom_click=rss?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=TWSAutoTweet Ultimately that means all the schools since the average will go up as she closes the crappier ones. Eventually there would only be one school which would be exactly average and she would close that one for not doing better than itself. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.
