Do you take offense when 'Gargantua' Graces your thread?

No, no ,no…i wasn`t taliking about the F - word at all, instead I talked about the word frick you mentioned.

@balungaloaf:

not many. i count two.  and then it took a thousand+ years and america to bring it back.

and both democracies spawned civilizations which had a great impact for the world and knowledge and spreading of ideas.  same with america.

yeah, and then they fell… are we going to fall? It’s hard to determine whether or not a nation with such an amazing amount of power will fall. Yet, history has proven every nation has… Roman… Ottoman… French… German… they all went down.

Don’t worry, I have my fingers crossed for us.

Ooops off topic.

Oookay,…

Yes and no, Stuka.  It would only make vetoing a budget a thing of the past, in other words, it would streamline the budget process.  But ONLY if the Congress decides to spend MORE then they get in taxes.  Bear in mind, if Congress decides to actually, don’t faint now, spend ONLY what it has without a deficit, then it only needs a simple majority and a signature instead of a super majority AND a signature.  Likewise, if the budget has no deficit, then a veto can still be over-ridden by a super majority.

The whole idea is to make it SOO hard to go into debt that most times the country will operate above board.

In fact, I’d like to see legislation that states that 10% of all taxes MUST be invested in local government or domestic corporate bonds. (Relatively secure, helps the country or countrymen.)  Eventually, the feds should have enough invested throughout the land that they will never need to tax the people again.

Furthermore, that’s not so outlandish an idea.  Many governments domestically and abroad are buying mutual funds to supplement their income so they can ease the tax burden.  Why can’t the feds?

I’ll file that one away in the usefull information file.  :evil:

GG: of course its still sugar, and is still very bad for you, but they could make soda significantly less detrimental to your health, and still keep all the taste if they just stopped using high fructose corn syrup. it would be such a small but significant change

Yanny: thats true. people are dumb… <shrugs>what can you do?</shrugs>

Wow, I’m particularly surprised at O’Reillys list of extremes.  If those thoughts are actually running through his head, then some of the statments actually impress me.  But I guess he knows enough about extremes - I watched his show once or twice, and that was about all I could take.

But the O’Reilly clothing line is absolutely fabulous!  Now you too can look chic and live the “life O’Reilly.”

And, by the way, it’s God’s fault.  If there’s anyone to blame, it’s Him/Her/It/They/Us.

@cystic:

was this more than you wanted to know?

No, it’s actually quite interesting…I plan to go into medicine…so I’m getting a head start :D

I know this article is more than a month old… and all Americans must’ve all heard this, judging from the fact that all Americans like to eat food and lots of it. :P But I ask you this, what’s it doing in a Conservative News Forum? I smell conspiracy! :o

My favorite parts:

Yeah sure, Japan subsidized weiner eaters and high foriegn weiner eater tarriffs by the Japanese are the only reason why we can’t catch a break in the weiner eater olympics.

Further, our government overtaxing weiner eaters and the heavy regulation of weiner eating has practically kill off any hope of ever reaching again the status of weiner eater superpower.
