Nice place too. If you go stop in at Harry's for a Bellini and tell them we sent you. We enjoyed it so much we made it the signature drink at our wedding.

Yes Merc, I have also eaten at Nobu while there, and at all the celeb chef places, and been to front row seats for Cirque, blah blah it is still a plastic whore in the middle of a dreary desert and the ugliest place in the world by daylight. It's a broken place for broken people.

Never been to Nobu - heard it was a dump where tourists go to overpay for bad food. In fact - I heard the last chef was so bad - he moved to Pittsburgh of all places!

I've found that attitudes and the company of people I'm with make ugly place beautiful and beautiful places spectacular. Then again I guess the reverse is also true. Obviously it's been your experience in Vegas, among other places.

I am still waiting for you to tell me why it is a bad thing for the president to agree with you?
He thinks it is a bad idea to spend the rent money in Vegas on gambling and you have said you feel the same way.
Since you both feel the same way why are you slamming him for saying so?
You have been unable to show any causal relationship between his statement and any downward turn in the Vegas economy.

If you could comprehend you may not have had to wait so long.

I comprehend quite well it is you who is having trouble talking out of both sides of your mouth

I think it is a bad thing for anyone who is President of the country to use a specific city as a bad example of where to spend money.

Yet you have already agreed that you feel the same way.

I regret your inability to comprehend that very simple statement.

I would agree it is simple minded and contradictory

You also are incorrect on the assumption that the President agrees with me.

Once again you are busy talking out of both sides of your mouth. You have already agreed that you and the president are agreed on this point...read your own posts for fucks sake

The President feels it necessary to decide for people what they should be doing with their money, disposable or otherwise. I disagree with that premise. It is not an example of self determination and consequences for personal decisions.

I believe that is called a false premis...maybe you might want to look that up...
You see this discussion is about the president admonishing people to not waste money that they need for essentials on things like gambling.
It is not about your agenda.
Please try to stay on track.

Although I don't belief anyone who can't afford bread to buy a lottery ticket, it isn't the government's job to take his money away from him so he take make that decision and deliver a loaf of bread to him. Your inability to grasp the difference between an opinion, or my personal choice between where I go on vacation, or if I do at the expense of my child's education; and a lecture coming from the President which included a specific denigration of a local economy is obviously part of your learning disability.

The learning disability is all yours, of which you have constantly reminded us.
Your opinion and the president's are the same but you want to say his holding that opinion is wrong and you are right.
Perhaps if you had actualy studied English while you were going to school on "daddys nickle" you would be able to percieve the foolishness of your position.

Perhaps next time you will actually answer my question instead of regurgitating your talking points.

Since I generated the discussion, my vision would be the only one that matters. My agenda has been served on many fronts - especially one you've added into it - pointing out your ignorance.

Which position would that be the one in the OP or the one on page nine where you reveal a different agenda than your OP?

quote:

Your position that you are speaking "ex Cathedra" is so charming. It may work with beth but for rest of us it is just so much posturing.

By repaeting your canned answer you show the whole board your inability to actually comprhend the English language.

Just because you want something to mean what you want it to does not make it so.

Oh give it a rest Merc. If he hadnt, and said LV was a great place to go relax, you would be bitching and whining about his lack of leadership skills for the American public.

That is your problem Merc you do not understand what you read.
The president did not pick Vegas as a bad example of where to spend money

Do you have any idea how foolish you look repeating this drivel?

quote:

Now you assume to know something not relevant in any case. Obama did specify Vegas - Twice; so it is obviously in his mind as a place where money is wasted and people shouldn't go.

quote:

His position is that the government knows best where a person should spend their money. It is against personal accountably and choice which is the exact opposite of my position. (#10)I think it is a bad thing for anyone who is President of the country to use a specific city as a bad example of where to spend money.

I regret your inability to comprehend that very simple statement.

Really? When has a US city been represented by a sitting President as a place to avoid? Even when the NYC was denied a bail out back in the 70's the President who denied it at the time wished them luck.

quote:

But the Watts riots of 1965 shattered that calm; white business owners fled so fast, as Filer's father, a longtime city councilman, once put it, "they were leaving their doors open."

Conditions spiraled downward; a 1982 Rand study declared the city "a disaster area."

the original Nobu in NY is awesome, the Nobu in Vegas is awful (or was about 2 years ago). I wouldnt waste a clients money there, much less my own. Sushi in Vegas is generally mediocre, overpriced or both. Caesar's is probably the best Ive had, but way overpriced. Mandalay Bay almost is good and not as expensive. For value the Japanese restaurant in the Palms is probably the best. (I only know one of the non-casino restaurants and it was a dive).
