DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN NOW, PEOPLE! FOR THE LOVE OF MEHUL, OPEN YOUR EYES!

JOLT/OMAC SHIPPED GOOD PAYING AMERICAN JOBS TO CANADA! CANADA, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT BAIN CAPITAL IS BEHIND THIS.

FURTHERMORE, I'VE JUST LEARNED FROM A TRUSTED FRIEND THAT MARTIAN HAS NOT PAID TAXES FOR ONE HUNDRED YEARS! THE ONUS IS ON MARTIAN TO PROVE THIS WRONG. RELEASE YOUR 1914 TAX RETURNS, NOW! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW! (!)

ALSO, H4XOR WAS THE REAL DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE ATTACK ON THE LIBYAN CONSULATE. DON'T BELIEVE ME? GOOGLE IT!!

AND GHOST ACRES? CAN YOU SIMPLETONS NOT SEE WHY THESE BECAME SO LARGE? JUST LOOK AT A MAP OF CANADA! THE CONNECTIONS SHOULD NOT ESCAPE EVEN THE MOST DIM AMONG YOU!

END NAFTA NOW!
END NAFTA NOW!

PS. YES, WE'VE DECIDED ON A NEW LOOK FOR OUR SIGNATURES. DO YOU THINK IT MAKES US LOOK FAT?

YES, BUT THE PERSON WHO LOCKED THE THREAD IS CANADIAN! SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LET CANADIANS IN?

SECURE THE BORDER!

YES, THAT PART IS ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING. WHEN I WANT TO TALK ABOUT A HAPPY fluffY BUNNY, I DO NOT WANT MY LETTERS OF POWER CONVERTED INTO TINY, POWERLESS PINK LETTERS.

THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

I'M SAM_DANGER AND I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE!

THE SHORT, EASY ANSWER IS: THE ABILITY TO DESTROY.

TO EXPAND ON THAT A BIT.. THIS GAME IS FAIRLY UNIQUE IN THAT THE PLAYERS ALL HAVE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY ANOTHER PLAYER'S EFFORTS. IN MOST GAMES, WHEN YOU DEFEAT A FOE, HIS ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO PLAY WELL IS NOT AFFECTED. HERE, NOT ONLY IS IT POSSIBLE TO DAMAGE ANOTHER'S ABILITY TO COMPETE, BUT DAMAGING THAT OTHER PLAYER'S EFFORTS IS THE MOST COMMON WAY FOR PLAYERS TO ENHANCE THEIR OWN ABILITY. THIS INEVITABLY LEADS TO CONFLICT AND IN MANY CASES, HATRED OR AT LEAST A STRONG DISLIKE.

WHEN A PLAYER RUNNING A TECH COUNTRY LOGS IN TO FIND THAT FOR THE 5TH DAY IN A ROW, HE MUST WASTE HALF OF HIS TURNS REGAINING AND REBUILDING HIS LABS, IT INVARIABLY LEADS TO FRUSTRATION AND/OR ANGER TO AT LEAST SOME DEGREE.

THE BEST ROLE PLAYING GAME EVER MADE, "ASHERON'S CALL" HAD A SIMILAR DYNAMIC. THOSE WHO ENGAGED IN PLAYER VS PLAYER COMBAT COULD TAKE A PORTION OF THEIR VANQUISHED FOE'S BELONGINGS. IT LED TO A SPLENDID LEVEL OF ANIMOSITY I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYWHERE ELSE IN ONLINE GAMING. IT ALSO MADE THIS GAME'S PVP THE MOST EXCITING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. SEEING A RED DOT ON YOUR RADAR STREAKING TOWARD YOU COULD ACTUALLY ELEVATE YOUR HEART RATE. IT WAS WONDERFUL!

BACK TO EARTH EMPIRES, THE ANGER EFFECT IS OF COURSE MORE PRONOUNCED ON THE ALLIANCE SERVER. VIRTUALLY EVERY ALLIANCE HAS BEEN JUMPED BY ANOTHER FOR LITTLE OR NO REASON WHILE THEY WERE TRYING TO NETGAIN. TWO, FOUR, SIX WEEKS OF HARD WORK ON ALL OF THEIR COUNTRIES WASTED. IT WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS TO NOT RESULT IN SOME SERIOUSLY BRUISED FEELINGS.

THE HATRED WILL NOT END UNTIL THE MAJORITY OF CLANS FINALLY SEE THE WISDOM OF THE PATH OF VIOLENT PACIFISM.

WE TAKE NO SIDE IN THE FEUD BETWEEN THESE TWO, AS WE DO NOT KNOW ALL OF THE DETAILS. BUT WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ROCKMAN SHOULD BE SILENCED.

FURTHERMORE, WE ARE WONDERING WHY IN THE QUOTES IN YOUR EDIT OF YOUR FIRST POST, ROCKMAN ALWAYS STARTS EVERY SENTENCE WITH THE WORD "ROCKMAN". WE FIND THIS ODD AND SOMEWHAT DISTURBING. WE ALSO WISH WE HAD THOUGHT OF IT FIRST.

TORONTO IS THE ONE THAT IS A FAIRLY SHORT DISTANCE FROM DETROIT, RIGHT?

IF SO, THEN I HAVE BEEN THERE ONCE, IN THE SUMMER OF '99. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THEY HAD A LOT OF STUFF UNDER GROUND (LIKE MALLS). THE PERFECT PLACE TO BE ON DECEMBER 21ST THIS YEAR.

TORONTO WAS ALSO VERY BLURRY, AND THE GROUND SHIFTED CONSTANTLY, CAUSING ME TO WALK CROOKEDLY. OH, AND ALSO IT IS IN CANADA, SO EVERYONE THERE TALKS FUNNY.

THAT IS ALL I REMEMBER ABOUT TORONTO.

AND AS BEAR GRYLLS WOULD TELL YOU, YOU SHOULD THEN DRINK THE FLUID FROM YOUR RECENTLY GOUGED OUT EYES, BECAUSE THEY ARE A GREAT SOURCE OF VITAMINS (PRONOUNCED VITT-UH-MINS). YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO END UP WITH SCURVY AS YOU MADE YOUR WAY OFF THE GLACIER (PRONOUNCED GLASS-IER)

LES IS BACK, ARCHAIC. ON THE SCIENCE CHANNEL. HIS NEW SERIES IS CALLED "SURVIVORMAN: 10 DAYS" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I NOTICED IT ABOUT PROBABLY A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. I SET MY DVR TO RECORD ALL EPISODES INCLUDING REPEATS, BUT SO FAR IT HAS ONLY RECORDED 4 EPISODES (ALL IN THE FIRST WEEK I HAD IT SET TO RECORD)

NOT SURE WHETHER THE NEW SERIES WAS CANCELLED. EACH EPISODE WAS ONLY HALF OF AN ADVENTURE. THERE WERE TWO EPISODES FROM THE MEXICAN DESERT, AND TWO FROM NORWAY OR SOME PLACE COLD LIKE THAT. THE INTRO TO THE SHOW MAKES IT OBVIOUS MORE LOCATIONS WERE FILMED, BUT SO FAR THOSE ARE THE ONLY FOUR EPISODES MY DVR HAS RECORDED.

EVERY DAY I CHECK TO SEE IF ANY MORE EPISODES HAVE BEEN RECORDED, ONLY TO BE INFURIATED ONCE AGAIN.

CRISIS AVERTED!

WHEN I GOT TO MY HOTEL LAST NIGHT, I CHOSE THE HISTORY CHANNEL AS MY "BACKGROUND NOISE" CHANNEL. I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT WE'RE BACK TO ENDLESS HOURS OF PAWN STARS IN A ROW.

WHY ARE YOU ALL STILL ARGUING ABOUT THE TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO LOSE THIS RACE? GARY JOHNSON IS CLEARLY GOING TO WIN.

DO NOT FOLLOW HIM INTO THE BATHROOM, BEN! IT'S A TRICK!

SEVERAL HOURS AGO I WAS FLIPPING THROUGH THE CHANNELS HERE, AND CAME ACROSS A NEW SERIES: "THE MEN WHO BUILT AMERICA". TO MY SURPRISE, IT WAS ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL. AND DURING PRIME TIME, NO LESS! WHERE ARE THE AXE MEN, THE ICE ROAD TRUCKERS, THE PAWN STARS, CAJUN PAWN STARS, KINGS OF PAWN, PAWN STARS OF THE MIDWEST, PAWN STARS OF THE CARIBBEAN, PRAWN STARS AND AMERICAN PICKERS? WHY IS THERE ACTUAL HISTORY PROGRAMMING BEING SHOWN ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL? IT'S NOT EVEN VETERANS DAY!

SO, FOR THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS PROGRAM AND FINDING IT QUITE ENJOYABLE. I FIND THE DRIVE, COMPETITIVENESS, RIVALRIES AND RUTHLESS CUNNING OF THE EARLY TITANS OF INDUSTRY TRULY FASCINATING.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! NOW I HAVE TO REMOVE THE HISTORY CHANNEL FROM MY LIST OF CHANNELS WHICH I NO LONGER EVEN BOTHER TO CHECK TO SEE WHAT'S ON. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME VALUABLE TIME EVERY DAY!

PLEASE JOIN ME IN BOYCOTTING THE HISTORY CHANNEL UNTIL THEY AGREE TO GO BACK TO NEVER AIRING ANY PROGRAMMING THAT IS ANYTHING MORE THAN TANGENTIALLY RELATED TO HISTORY.

LOCKET: IF YOU ARE ANGLING FOR A DIVISION NAMED AFTER YOU, I AM AFRAID YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. THE COMMITTEE OF ONE HAS ALREADY TAKEN UP THE ISSUE OF A SECOND DIVISION, TO BE NAMED THE RESPLENDENT DRAGON DIVISION. TALKS ARE STILL UNDERWAY. HOWEVER, WE WILL MOST CERTAINLY NOT BE CREATING A THIRD DIVISION, AS WE ONLY HAVE TWO MEMBERS.

EUGLAF: I WOULD CALL THAT UNLIKELY. THIS IS AN ISSUE OF CONTENTION BETWEEN THE EUGLAF DIVISION AND THE RESPLENDENT DRAGON DIVISION. THE RESPLENDENT DRAGON DIVISION DOES FAVOR A MERGER. HOWEVER, THE VOTING RULES WITHIN THE MIGHTY CLAN [DANGER]! ARE VERY CLEAR: TIE GOES TO SAM.

DID CANADA DECLARE WAR, DISSI? NO! PLEASE STOP MUDDLING THE ISSUE WITH USELESS FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN CANADA BECAME A COUNTRY. IF CANADIANS REALLY CARED, THEY COULD HAVE DECLARED THEIR INDEPENDENCE FROM ENGLAND AND THEN JOINED IN THE WAR OF 1812! THEN THEY WOULD HAVE ALASKA. THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS HERE. JUST THINK HOW MANY MORE CITIES THEY COULD HAVE NAMED AFTER MOOSE PARTS! OR MEDICINAL HEADWEAR! OPPORTUNITY SQUANDERED.

YOU'RE EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US. CLEARLY, CANADA WAS NOT WITH US IN 1812. THEREFORE, YOU ARE TERRORISTS. ONCE WE GET DONE WITH AFGHANISTAN... AND THEN PROBABLY IRAN.. AND THEN MAYBE SAUDI ARABIA OR DELAWARE, YOU FOLKS HAD BETTER WATCH OUT!

THAT WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE IS TERRIBLY OVERSIMPLIFIED. YES, THE IRISH WERE THERE, BUT THEY DID NOT COME TO FIGHT. THEY HAD BEEN LED BY THE BRITISH TO BELIEVE THAT THE POTOMAC RIVER CONTAINED WHISKEY RATHER THAN WATER. ONCE THEY ARRIVED AND LEARNED THE TRUTH, THEY ATTEMPTED TO SHOW THEIR DISPLEASURE BY EXPLODING THINGS. THE IRISH LIKE TO EXPLODE THINGS, WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE NAMED IRELAND THE CAPITAL OF THE MIGHTY CLAN [DANGER]! HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT HAVE EXPLOSIVES, SO THEY ENDED UP ONLY BURNING STUFF.

I KNOW ALL OF THIS BECAUSE MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS IRISH. DON'T BELIEVE ME? HIS NAME IS SEAMUS. GO TO IRELAND AND LOOK HIM UP. HE'LL TELL YOU. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CONVINCE HIM AND A FEW OF HIS FRIENDS TO COME VISIT D.C. BY TELLING THEM THAT THERE ARE WELLS OF ARTESIAN BEER, BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT FALLEN FOR IT.

THE BEST NAMED CITY IN IRELAND IS KILLYBEGS, BY THE WAY.

ALSO, IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE LABRADOR WAS NOT CROSS BRED WITH THE POODLE EARLIER IN HISTORY. THEN CANADA COULD HAVE A PROVINCE NAMED LABRADOODLE. I THINK THAT WOULD BE EXCELLENT!

SO A QUESTION FOR YOU CANADIANS: IF THERE WERE A PROVINCE RENAMED LABRADOODLE, WHICH WOULD IT BE AND WHY? AND DO YOU THINK THE REST OF CANADA WOULD ALL MOVE THERE, EVEN IF IT WAS THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES? IT IS MY ASSERTION THAT THE ONLY REASON THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES HAS SUCH LOW POPULATION IS THAT IT HAS SUCH A BORING NAME. BEING ABLE TO WRITE "LABRADOODLE" ON THE RETURN ADDRESS PORTION OF AN ENVELOPE WOULD BE A MASSIVE DRAW. I WOULD DEFINITELY MOVE TO LABRADOODLE IF I WERE CANADIAN.

UNTIL A PROVINCE IS RENAMED LABRADOODLE, THE BEST NAMED PROVINCE AWARD WILL BE RETAINED BY NUNAVUT. IT'S A NAME, AND A PHRASE.

HOW MUCH OF CANADA'S POPULATION LIVES THERE?

NUNAVUT.

CHIEF GEOGRAPHER, AND CHAMPION OF THE EUGLAF DIVISION,

BACKGROUND: CANADA REQUIRES THAT ALL PRODUCT LABELS BE PRINTED IN FRENCH AS WELL AS ENGLISH. MCGUINTY SOUNDS LIKE A SCOTTISH NAME. HE PROBABLY DEMANDED THAT PRODUCT LABELS ALSO BE PRINTED IN SCOTTISH GAELIC, OR AT LEAST IN A SCOTTISH ACCENT. I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

ALSO, THEY HAVE A PROVINCE NAMED AFTER A BREED OF DOG. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PROVINCES NAMED AFTER CATS. THEY DO HAVE SOME CITIES NAMED AFTER PARTS OF MOOSES THOUGH. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S THE PROPER PLURAL FORM OF MOOSE, AS I'M NOT CANADIAN... OR ENGLISH... OR FRENCH. I AM PART SCOTTISH HOWEVER. DUE TO THAT, AND TO THE FACT THAT BRAVEHEART IS THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME, I SIDE WITH MCGUINTY. I MAY ALSO SIDE WITH HAXOR THE FLAILING CHICKEN, BUT I CAN'T QUITE FIGURE IT OUT. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I ALWAYS DISAGREE WITH DISSIDENT ABOUT POLITICS, JUST ON PRINCIPLE. SINCE HAXOR SEEMS TO ALSO DISAGREE WITH DISSIDENT, THEN I PROBABLY AGREE WITH HIM.

ONE IMPORTANT FACT TO POINT OUT: IN THE WAR OF 1812, CANADA REMAINED NEUTRAL. THIS IS WHY THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY OWN ALASKA, A PROVINCE WHICH COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED CANADA'S MOOSE PARTS INDUSTRY. ALASKA WOULD DEFINITELY BE A "HAVE" PROVINCE.

SYRUP PROBABLY HAS A PART TO PLAY IN ALL OF THIS AS WELL.

I HOPE I WAS ABLE TO CLEAR THINGS UP FOR YOU, TRUMPER!

HEAD STATISTICIAN
THE MIGHTY CLAN [DANGER]! <----SEE? THAT'S HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK!

I DON'T KNOW ROMNEY'S REASONS FOR GIVING TO CHARITY. I'M NOT ABLE TO SEE INSIDE HIS BRAIN. I GUESS YOU ARE ABLE TO DO THAT? CAN YOU TEACH ME? I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SEE INSIDE MR TITANIUM'S BRAIN.

WERE ANY OF THOSE COLLEGE COURSES YOU TOOK ACCOUNTING CLASSES? IF SO, AND IF I'M UNDERSTANDING YOUR ASSERTION CORRECTLY - THAT ROMNEY SAVED HIMSELF MONEY BY DONATING - THEN YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK FOR A REFUND ON THOSE CREDITS. IF THAT IS NOT YOUR ASSERTION, THEN I APOLOGIZE FOR AND DISAVOW THE NEXT SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS OF THIS POST.

HERE'S A LINK TO A WIKI EXPLANATION OF CAPITAL GAINS TAXES: http://en.wikipedia.org/..._tax_in_the_United_States

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT CHART, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO DO A LTTLE MATH. UGGH! MATH. THE MIGHTY CLAN [DANGER] HATES MATH. THERE ARE NOT NEARLY ENOUGH EXPLOSIONS INVOLVED IN SOLVING MATH PROBLEMS. BE THAT AS IT MAY, LET'S GET ON WITH IT!

NOW, AS WE ALREADY KNOW, THE VAST MAJORITY OF ROMNEY'S INCOME IS DERIVED FROM CAPITAL GAINS. FOR THIS EXAMPLE, WE ARE GOING TO ASSUME THOSE ARE LONG TERM CAPITAL GAINS, SINCE HE'S BEEN FOCUSING ON POLITICS FOR SO LONG.

WE NEED A FEW STARTING FIGURES HERE. I'M NOT GOING TO GO LOOK THEM UP AGAIN, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT NUMBERS WE PICK, AS LONG AS THEY'RE HIGH.

LET'S SAY ROMNEY MADE 16 TRILLION DOLLARS IN 2011. HOLY SMOKES, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY! HELL, WITH THAT AMOUNT, THE GREEDY BASTARD COULD GIVE EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN $50,000.00!! NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR! ONE PERCENT! NOT FA.. OOPS, I'M GETTING SIDE TRACKED.

WE'LL ALSO GO AHEAD AND ASSUME THE LOWER FIGURE THAT I FOUND OF 20% GIVEN TO CHARITY. THIS NUMBER DOESN'T REALLY MATTER FOR OUR PURPOSES EITHER, AS WE'LL SOON SEE.

NOW, FROM THE CHART, WE SEE THAT ROMNEY'S TAX RATE ON LONG TERM CAPITAL GAINS IS 15% HERE COMES THE MATH! UGGH! READY?

IF ROMNEY DONATED 20% OF HIS INCOME TO CHARITY, THAT WOULD BE 3.2 TRILLION. SUBTRACT THAT FROM 16 TRILLION, AND YOU GET 12.8 TRILLION TAXABLE INCOME. A TAX RATE OF 15% ON 12.8 TRILLION GIVES US 3.05 TRILLION IN TAXES PAID. 16 TRILLION, MINUS 3.2 TRILLION, MINUS 3.05 TRILLION EQUALS 9.75 TRILLION. ROMNEY KEPT 9.75 TRILLION IN HIS BEDROOM SAFE IN 2011. WAIT A MINUTE.. THAT NUMBER SOUNDS FAMILIAR. ISN'T THAT ABOUT HOW MUCH DEBT PRESIDENT BUSH LEFT US WITH?? ILLUMINATI! BILDERBERGS! LIZARD MEN!

OK, SO BACK ON TRACK, ROMNEY KEPT 9.75 TRILLION FOR HIS EVIL GREEDY SELF. NOW, IF HE HAD GIVEN ZERO TO CHARITY, HOW MUCH COULD HE HAVE KEPT? 16 TRLLION TIMES 85%.... WHAT?.. OH YEAH, I SKIPPED A FEW STEPS THERE, BUT TRUST ME. IT'S LESS CUMBERSOME THAN TAKING 16 TRILLION TIMES 15% AND THEN SUBTRACTING... ANYWAY.. HE WOULD HAVE IN HIS BEDROOM SAFE, 13.6 TRILLION. HA! HIS GREEDY SCHEME BACKFIRED!! HE COST HIMSELF ALMOST 4 TRILLION DOLLARS BY GIVING TO CHARITY!

YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS, SUBSTITUTING ANY PERCENTAGE YOU WANT FOR CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS, AND THE RESULT WILL BE THE SAME. THE MORE HE GIVES TO CHARITY, THE LESS HE KEEPS FOR HIMSELF. WEIRD. NO MATTER WHAT HIS TAX RATE IS, IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GET HIMSELF INTO A LOWER TAX BRACKET, THEN GIVING AWAY MONEY ACTUALLY COSTS HIM MONEY.

NOW ON THE 47% THING, I GIVE UP. I'VE ALREADY STATED THAT HIS COMMENT WAS STUPID AND WILDLY INACCRUATE. IT'S ABUNDANTLY CLEAR TO ME THAT HE WAS SPEAKING ABOUT NOT WORRYING ABOUT WINNING THOSE PEOPLE'S VOTES. IT'S ALSO SAD TO ME THAT IT IS SO EASY FOR DEMOCRAT PUNDITS TO TAKE SUCH A CLEAR (EVEN IF IT IS STUPID) COMMENT OUT OF CONTEXT AND RILE UP SO MANY PEOPLE WITH IT. IT'S EQUALLY SAD THAT REPUBLICAN PUNDITS ARE SO EASILY ABLE TO TAKE PRESIDENT OBAMA'S COMMENTS - "YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT [BRIDGE]" -OUT OF CONTEXT AND USE THEM TO RILE UP SO MANY PEOPLE.

AND JUST IN CASE ANYBODY MISSED IT THE FIRST FEW TIMES I SAID IT, I DISLIKE BOTH ROMNEY AND PRESIDENT OBAMA, AND WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR EITHER OF THEM.

HA!

SAM

THE EASY ANSWER TO THAT IS :

THE CORPORATION OR "RICH PERSON" IS KEEPING THE FRUITS OF ITS OR HIS OWN LABOR. THE OTHER IS TAKING THE FRUITS OF SOMEONE ELSE'S LABOR.

THAT SAID, THE PERSON IN NEED IS NOT A MOOCH SIMPLY FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EXISTING PROGRAMS, ANY MORE THAN THE "RICH PERSON" IS EVIL FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF WHATEVER TAX BREAKS MAY BE AVAILABLE.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT BAD FAITH, BUT I DO AGREE THAT THE STATEMENT WAS STUPID AND WILDLY INACCURATE. MANY IF NOT MOST OF THAT 47% WHO DON'T PAY ANY FEDERAL INCOME TAX DO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES. THEY JUST AREN'T REQUIRED TO, AND DON'T CONTRIBUTE INCOME TAX. I SAY GOOD FOR THEM. NONE OF THEIR MONEY WAS WASTED BY THE FEDS.

AS FAR AS SHELTERING MONEY IN OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS GOES, GOOD FOR HIM. AGAIN, THAT'S LESS OF HIS MONEY BEING WASTED BY THE GOVERNMENT. IF IT IS LEGAL, AND ENABLES HIM TO GIVE MORE TO CHARITY FIRSTHAND, THEN I'M ALL FOR IT. SAME WOULD GO FOR OBAMA IF HE WERE DOING THE SAME.

I'M FINDING CONFLICTING NUMBERS FOR WHAT PERCENTAGE OF HIS INCOME WAS GIVEN TO CHARITY, BUT FOR 2010, IT SEEMS LIKE AROUND 13 OR 14%, AND FOR 2011 THE NUMBERS I FIND RANGE FROM 20 PERCENT TO ALMOST 30%. A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE THAN THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS PAY IN INCOME TAX, AND THEN HE PAID INCOME TAX IN ADDITION. I DON'T THINK IT IS ACCURATE TO SAY THAT HE HASN'T CONTRIBUTED HIS "FAIR SHARE".

OBAMA DEMANDS THAT "THE RICH" PAY MORE, BUT CONTRIBUTES VERY LITTLE TO CHARITY VOLUNTARILY. ROMNEY SAYS "THE RICH" PAY ENOUGH, AND VOLUNTARILY PARTS WITH A PRETTY SIZEABLE CHUNK OF HIS INCOME BEFORE IT IS SEIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

AND FINALLY, THIS DISCUSSION IS BECOMING ALL TOO CIVIL, AND IS STARTING TO COME PERILOUSLY CLOSE TO CUDDLE TIME, SO.... CANADA SUCKS!

HA!

SAM

I THINK YOU AND I AGREE ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT POLITICS, DISSI. WELL, AND MAYBE NOT RELIGION.. BUT WHAT ABOUT FAVORITE FOODS? PIZZA OR TACO BELL? CHOOSE CAREFULLY!

ARE YOU WEARING MAGIC UNDERWEAR? IF SO, YOUR THIRD CONCERN IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE.

AND WHITE HAIR IS SEXY.

HA!

YOU SHOULD BE TALKING ONLY TO ME. THESE OTHER RUBES ARE USELESS NANCIES.

THE MORMON CHURCH HAS SAID FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS THAT THEY WERE WRONG ON THE ISSUE OF RACE. BUT SOMEHOW, VIEWS WHICH CURRENT MORMONS DISAVOW ARE MEANINGFUL IN EXAMINING A CANDIDATE, WHILE THE CURRENT VIEWS OF THE OTHER CANDIDATE'S CHURCH ARE NOT MEANINGFUL. THIS SEEMS A BIT BACKWARDS TO ME.

ROMNEY DID NOT SAY - AS LEFT-STATISTS SO STRONGLY WISH HE HAD - WHAT YOU SAY HE SAID. HE SAID HE'S NOT GOING TO GET THEIR VOTE, SO TRYING FOR IT WOULD BE A WASTED EFFORT (PARAPHRASING OF COURSE, BUT IT IS A LOT CLOSER TO WHAT HE SAID THAN HOW YOU CHARACTERIZED IT)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvqHERTcytI - WATCH IT AGAIN, AND TELL ME IF YOU HONESTLY GET FROM THAT "I WON'T CARE ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE EVER" THE CONTEXT IS PRETTY CLEAR. IN AN ELECTION, SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT. RESOURCES SPENT ON TRYING TO CONVINCE THOSE PEOPLE ARE RESOURCES WASTED.

THE "LOOPHOLES" IN THE TAX CODE YOU'RE REFERRING TO INCLUDE MASSIVE DONATIONS TO CHARITY. I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE SOMEONE GIVING MILLIONS TO CHARITY AND PAYING A 14% TAX RATE, THAN HAVE THEM GIVE THOSE MILLIONS TO GOVT VIA A HIGHER TAX RATE, AND HAVE A HUGE PORTION OF THAT MONEY WASTED BY INEFFICIENT BUREAUCRACIES AND THIEVING POLITICIANS.

AND HE HAS ALSO STATED HE INTENDS TO CLOSE SOME OF THE OTHER LOOPHOLES. I DON'T NECESSARILY BELIEVE HIM ON THAT, BUT IT'S A MUCH BETTER PLAN THAN "RAISE TAX RATES AND LEAVE LOOPHOLES IN PLACE, SO THAT ONLY THOSE WITH ENOUGH RESOURCES ARE ABLE TO REDUCE THEIR TAX BURDEN".

WHAT ABOUT PARAGRAPH FIVE ABOVE WAS RANTISH? HE'S A DECENT GUY WHO DOESN'T TAKE LIMITED GOVERNMENT SERIOUSLY, IN MY OPINION. THAT'S RANTISH?

I GUESS I WAS A BIT TOO SUBTLE WITH MY POINT THERE. PEOPLE DID MAKE THE SAME KINDS OF RIDICULOUS ARGUMENTS ABOUT JFK THAT YOU'RE NOW MAKING ABOUT ROMNEY.

WHERE DID I CALL OBAMA A SECRET MUSLIM? HAVE I BEEN POSTING IN INVISIBLE INK AGAIN? BUT SINCE YOU BROUGHT UP OBAMA'S RELIGION..

HE SAT AND LISTENED TO A PREACHER WHO ESPOUSED RACISM FOR WHAT.. 20 YEARS? SO WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT? YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MORMONISM'S RACISM OF 40 YEARS AGO, WHAT ABOUT REV WRIGHT? OR WOULD THAT ONLY BE BROUGHT UP IF HERMAN CAIN HAD GONE TO THAT CHURCH.

REGARDING THE REST OF THE INACCRUATE ROMNEY BASHING IN YOUR POST, BAIN CAPITAL BOUGHT *FAILING* COMPANIES. SOME OF THOSE IT TURNED AROUND AND MADE PROFITABLE. OTHERS CONTINUED TO FAIL AND WERE SOLD OFF UNDER BAIN AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT BAIN. THEY HELPED SOME, HURT NONE, AND MADE FISTLOADS OF CASH. HOW EVIL.

AGAIN, AS A POLITICIAN I CAN'T STAND ROMNEY, BUT ATTACKING HIM ON A PERSONAL LEVEL ISN'T GOING TO BE EFFECTIVE. HE'S A DECENT, CHARITABLE FAMILY MAN. UNFORTUNATELY, HE CARES ABOUT AS MUCH ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION, PERSONAL LIBERTY AND INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY AS PRESIDENT OBAMA DOES.

I HOPE PLENTY OF OBAMA FOLLOWERS DO TAKE THE ROAD YOU'VE TAKEN HERE THOUGH. IT JUST MAKES THE LEFT-STATIST PARTY LOOK PETTY AND SMALL. WHILE I'M NO BIG FAN OF THE RIGHT-STATIST PARTY EITHER, I THINK ROMNEY WOULD DO LESS HARM THAN OBAMA. AND SADLY, I DON'T THINK THE GUY I'LL BE VOTING FOR HAS MUCH CHANCE OF WINNING.

THE ATTACKS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH FARMING THIS RESET AT LEAST.. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR PLAYSTYLE, OR YOUR ALLIANCE, BUT DID YOU FARM ANYONE LAST RESET, AND DOES YOUR ALLIANCE ALLOW FARMING? PERHAPS SOMEONE WAS FARMED RELENTLESSLY BY YOUR ALLIANCE LAST RESET AND DECIDED TO GET SOME REVENGE EARLY THIS RESET, WHILE IT IS EASY TO DO SO.

THE CAUSE OF THE ATTACKS REALLY ISN'T ALL THAT RELEVANT TO THIS DISCUSSION THOUGH. NOW THAT THE EFFECTS OF THE CHANGES ARE KNOWN, THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR GOING COMPLETELY TANKLESS AT ANY POINT IN THE RESET. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT SOME PEOPLE HAD TO LEARN THIS THE HARD WAY FOR THE REST OF US.. AND I DON'T MEAN THAT SARCASTICALLY. IF THE CHANGES TO AB STRENGTH WERE NOT PUBLICIZED PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTATION, THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

OH YEAH, AND ONE MORE THING....

WHY BOTHER STOOPING TO PERSONAL ATTACKS, WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY LEGITIMATE POLITICAL ARGUMENTS YOU COULD MAKE?

HE FLIP FLOPS ON ISSUES, HAS OPENLY ADMITTED THAT WHAT HE BELIEVES IN THE PRIMARIES WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE BELIEVES AT GENERAL ELECTION TIME, ESPOUSES FISCAL CONSERVATISM ONLY IF THE POLLS SHOW HE'D GAIN A PERCENTAGE POINT BY DOING SO....

SERIOUSLY.. WHY BOTHER BASHING HIS RELIGION? HE SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY DECENT GUY ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, BUT AS A POLITICIAN HE'S ALMOST AS BAD AS OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT.

JFK WAS A CATHOLIC, AND WE ALL KNOW THEY TAKE ORDERS DIRECTLY FROM THE POPE. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH VISITED SOME PRETTY NASTY HORRORS ON PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE AGES.

THEREFORE, JFK WAS EVIL, AND GOT WHAT HE HAD COMING.

AND AGAIN, I HAVE TO WONDER WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU CARE ENOUGH ABOUT OBAMA GETTING CORONATED AGAIN, TO STOOP TO THIS LEVEL OF ATTACK? IF YOU LOVE SOCIALIST POLICIES, I HEAR THINGS ARE GOING SPLENDIDLY IN GREECE RIGHT NOW. WHY NOT JUST MOVE THERE INSTEAD OF RAILING ABOUT AMERICAN POLITICS?

HA!

SAM

I DON'T REMEMBER CLAIMING REAGAN WAS PERFECT.

YOU SAID NOBODY COULD FIX A COUNTRY SO BROKEN IN 4 YEARS. I POINTED OUT THAT REAGAN AND A MUCH MORE REASONABLE CONGRESS THAN WHAT WE HAVE TODAY DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID CAN'T BE DONE.

IN ANOTHER THREAD, YOU STATED THAT YOU "HATE" PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO AGREE WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA. THAT BRINGS UP TWO QUESTIONS:

NUMBER ONE, WHY DO YOU CARE ENOUGH TO "HATE" THOSE PEOPLE. YOU'RE NOT FROM THE US. WHY DO YOU WANT SO DESPERATELY TO SEE US FOLLOW A PATH WHICH CANADA BEGAN TO TURN AWAY FROM - WITH VERY SUCCESSFUL RESULTS - TWO DECADES AGO? THE COMMITTEE OF ONE IS BEGINNING TO SUSPECT THAT YOU ARE PLANNING A HOSTILE TAKEOVER.

AND QUESTION TWO, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN ECONOMIC FREEDOM TO AGREE WITH A MAN WHOSE CORE VISION OF AMERICA IS SO RADICALLY DIFFERENT? SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO KEEP AS MUCH OF THE FRUITS OF THEIR LABOR AS POSSIBLE, IS NEVER GOING TO AGREE WITH SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES THAT AT A CERTAIN LEVEL OF SUCCESS IT BECOMES YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF OTHERS WHETHER YOU BELIEVE THEY DESERVE IT OR NOT... AND THAT IT IS THE JOB OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO NOT ONLY TAKE THAT MONEY FROM YOU, BUT TO DECIDE FOR YOU WHO IS WORTHY OF YOUR CHARITY.

I ALSO FAIL TO SEE HOW YOUR AGE AT THE TIME AN ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED IS RELEVANT TO THE FAIRNESS OF THE ARTICLE. I WAS 17 WHEN THAT WAS WRITTEN, SO DOES THAT MAKE IT SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

TRANSLATION: "YOU ARE CORRECT"

DID YOU AT LEAST READ THE QUOTE? THE LETTERS OF POWER WERE NOT USED THERE.

REAGAN INHERITED AN ECONOMY IN ABSOLUTE DISARRAY, WITH DOUBLE DIGIT INFLATION AND RISING UNEMPLOYMENT RATES. RATHER THAN JUST BLAMING HIS PREDECESSOR, HE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

REAGAN AND A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS WHICH AT THAT TIME STILL BELIEVED IN ECONOMIC FREEDOM, FIXED THE PROBLEM BY DRASTICALLY LOWERING TAX RATES AND EASING REGULATION. AND YES, AS YOU POINT OUT, BY ALSO ENACTING SANE POLICIES AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE INEVITABLE ECONOMIC CONTRACTION TOOK PLACE DURING HIS FIRST 2+ YEARS IN OFFICE, FOLLOWED BY THE EXPLOSIVE GROWTH WHICH HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE ARE FINALLY UNSHACKLED.

IN THE TWO OTHER MOST NOTABLE ECONOMIC DISASTERS OF MODERN US HISTORY, (TODAY, AND THE GREAT DEPRESSION) WE TRIED TURNING AWAY FROM FREEDOM, IN FAVOR OF BIG GOVERNMENT WHICH WOULD SOLVE ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS. IN BOTH OF THOSE CASES, THE RESULT WAS A DEEPENING AND LENGTHENING OF OUR ECONOMIC WOES.

IF MASSIVE, IRRESPONSIBLE FEDERAL SPENDING IS THE ANSWER, THEN WHY DOES IT CONSISTENTLY FAIL? WE'VE BEEN RESPENDING THE "STIMULUS" EVERY YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS NOW, AND IT HAS NOT WORKED.

HOW MUCH MORE DO WE NEED TO SPEND? DO WE NEED TO DOUBLE MY GREAT GRANDSON'S SHARE OF THE NATIONAL DEBT FROM $50,000 TO $100,000? AND BY THE WAY, HOW DID CANADA FARE WHEN FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY WAS FINALLY EMBRACED THERE IN THE 90'S? WHAT WAS THE CANADIAN DOLLAR WORTH THEN, AND HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH NOW?

WHEN LIBERTY IS EMBRACED, GOOD THINGS HAPPEN. WHEN STATISM IS EMBRACED, NOTHING HAPPENS.. IF WE'RE LUCKY.

HA!

"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work....After eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started...and an enormous debt to boot!" - Henry Morgenthau Jr, FDR's Treasury Secretary.

REAGAN DID.

SO IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE IN THIS ELECTION WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, BUT NOT ACCEPTABLE NEXT ELECTION? NOW WHY WOULD THAT BE?

THIS WHOLE BUSINESS OF IT BEING SOOOOO HARD TO GET A PHOTO ID "FOR CERTAIN CLASSES OF PEOPLE" IS A LOAD OF BUNK. AS SOMEONE ELSE POINTED OUT, ALL STATES HAVE LAWS RESTRICTING THE SALE OF ALCOHOL WITHOUT ID, AND NOBODY IS SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER ABOUT THAT ONE. WHY? BECAUSE IT IS INCREDIBLY EASY AND CHEAP (OR FREE IN SOME CASES) TO GET A STATE ISSUED PHOTO ID.

THERE IS NO REASON THAT EITHER OF THE CORRUPT, LYING, TYRANNICAL MAJOR PARTIES SHOULD BE OPPOSED TO ENSURING THE VALIDITY OF ELECTIONS.. UNLESS THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO GAIN FROM MAKING IT EASIER FOR FRAUDULENT VOTING TO OCCUR.

LIKE YOU TELLARION, I LIVE IN A STATE WHERE NO VALIDATION OF VOTER IDENTITY OCCURS (WASHINGTON). LIKE OREGON, WE HAVE MADE IT A JOKE HERE AS WELL. BUT STATES THAT ACTUALLY DO CARE ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF THEIR ELECTIONS SHOULD NOT BE PREVENTED FROM DOING ALL THAT THEY CAN - WITHIN REASON - TO ENSURE IT.

THE COMMITTEE OF ONE CONFIRMS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. SINCE OUR ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NON EXPLOSION PACTS AND OUR RIGHTEOUS DEFENSE POLICY WERE ONLY POSTED IN ONE THREAD, WE HAVE AGREED TO GO EASY.

NOW THAT OUR POLICY HAS BEEN HINTED AT IN THIS THREAD AS WELL, OTHERS WILL BE DEALT WITH IN WHATEVER WAY THE COMMITTEE OF ONE DEEMS APPROPRIATE

HA!
