betamale25 -> Why US cable news sucks (4/7/2011 11:35:40 PM)

The other day I was watching MSNBC, online, they were talking about some douche-bag British Prince's bachelor party. I switched to Al Jazeera English, they were showing a press conference of a Libyan military officer who was working with a pro democratic rebel group.

It is no wonder the US is proving to be nothing more than a quick flash in the vast frying pan of history. Rome was around for 400 plus years as a republic, and another 400 plus years as an empire. That doesn't include the Byzantine empire, which was the Eastern Roman empire, which ended in the 1400s. Although by then Byzantine was just a minor power.

When I was 23 I would have never imagined that in two decades I would see my country, which I love, on its way down the shitter. Left, right, or center, we are all to blame. We have the insipid and ineffectual government we deserve. We are going the way of the Western Roman empire, except at a much accelerated rate.

Lovely you consider the heir apparent to the Throne as a "douchebag". I see alot of his mother in him. I have high hopes.

LOL.. but its such a nice, warm space!

Hmmmmm. There are some people here who you will get along with just fine. These two might not be among them. A flash in the pan ? HA HA, speaking of the only country to ever actually use a nuclear weapon. Oops, that's only an atomic weapon I guess. It'll take forever to get this terminology right.

And what ARE you doing about it. Well you have expressed an opinion,  I guess that is a step in the right direction. But it has been pretty much proven that voting will not change it. Nobody votes for anyone or anything, they only vote against that which they percieve as the greater evil.

Violence is ineffective, there are two reasons. For one we have allowed the government to get way too strong. And even if they weren't, they will never give up. The US government WILL turn their weapons of mass destruction against their own constituents. Their actions in the past strongly indicate that, it's only the proof which has yet to happen.

I see only one way and it plays mainly on their folly. They buy or intimidate friends. Friends will get sick of it, even within their own ranks. Get your heads out of that politically correct ass and read the Turner Diaries. The resistance gained power by bribery and all kinds of nasty other things. Fight fire with fire. And in the meantime, try to find some rock solid candidates from among the masses, rather than the store boughten kind.

What's more, the systen is rotting from the inside. Very few are actually loyal. Many just remain loyal to make it to retirement. State troopers who don't bust you for a bag of weed and say straight out "I wish I could smoke, but there is this damn drug testing". Many of these people do not believe in what they're doing. And it takes it's toll. My Father knew a half dozen city cops who committed suicide over the years. They were good friends and good cops he said. They just couldn't take any more. The job is destructive. How can that be so ?

Think about it. We are talking city cops here, not someone who pushes a button and kills thousands in one fell swoop, or those who order such things. That will become their Achilles' heel. I think it already is to some extent. We must learn to exploit this.

To get to the basics, which is always a good idea when it comes to logical decisions, answer this : How many fair and just governments have been overthrown ?

Just give it time, these things will come to pass with or without us. However, that doesn't mean to do nothing. It's just a matter of what. What should we be doing right now ?

Nobody voted for Obama, the voted against McCain. Nobody voted for McCain, they voted against Obama. Who are you going to vote against ?

The only one I've seen worth voting FOR is Ron Paul, but he has made himself too fucking unpopular with his religious views. What now ?

I am open to suggestions.

T^T

The space is rather cramped with all the facts in there....sorry!![:D][;)]

Currently I am forming a multi billion dollar U.S. corporation. I will then send all my jobs overseas, and setup my head quarters in some foreign country that will not charge me taxes, and allow me to hide my money from the IRS. Then the U.S. government will then give me a tax rate of 0% and also give me billions of dollars free of charge. Once I have accomplished this task I will then buy myself a dozen senators and a few dozen members of the House. That's my plan.

No doubt you are not aware of this fact, the American colonies fought a war to throw off the shackles of a douche-bag British king.

ashjor911 -> RE: Why US cable news sucks (4/8/2011 1:20:54 PM)

BBC, Al Jazeera, & CNN each focuses ot the matter their people matter the most
on the BBC you see the royal wedding
Al Jazeera English you see blood & shit all all over the world,
in Al Jazeera English they say that they are in the middle not right & not left, but on the other hand its a bit commericial to them.
you see they get into major events (65 % gose to Lybia & 30 % gose to yemen the rest is just under 5 %).
its pretty much everybody can see it that Al Jazeera whatever it was (Arabic or English) can & will case you a heart attack.
My God Its Dangerus than smoking these days.




pahunkboy -> RE: Why US cable news sucks (4/8/2011 1:25:06 PM)

...I am shocked that this would happen. 




Edwynn -> RE: Why US cable news sucks (4/8/2011 3:05:14 PM)



ashjor,

am not liking the new avatar at all.

We all know that comedic presentation of stupidity sells well in the US, but you are above this.

If you want anybody to listen to you, please change back to the old one or at least something less offensive.

My corporation will be mining Powendium (Chemical symbol FU) in the most profitable way possible, by minimizing production and labor costs. I will be lobbying to eliminate productivity killing regulations. While fighting to keep everything I earn in order to maximize shareholder value.

Translation: Pay people less than a living wage while providing them with no benefits or workplace protections. While destroying the environment in the process

So.....you vote Republican in the USA?




Edwynn -> RE: Why US cable news sucks (4/8/2011 3:57:38 PM)





Please tell me that you are being facetious with that one.







Termyn8or -> RE: Why US cable news sucks (4/8/2011 3:59:06 PM)

FR

This news is even better ! Everybody let's get on the bandwagon at the beginning, buy powendium futures. Just the few, the select, the pervs ! As the market grows we can make our billions and then put them in foreign currency, after dumping it and collapsing the market. Sorry about that retirement check Grampa, I need another ivory backscratcher for my other yacht.

Just don't tell the SEC until we have the money to buy them off.

That's the American way !

T^T

See, you throw the King out and it all goes tits up. If you had stayed in the Empire you would be in fine shape.





betamale25 -> RE: Why US cable news sucks (4/8/2011 4:20:35 PM)

(LMFAO) Sardonic would be a better word choice. After all, I was just using conservative lingo and jingoism. In 2005 GE paid -32% in taxes, yes negative 32%. GE paid no taxes in 2005 and was given billions of free money from their friends in the Congress. So I was being sardonic and facetious at the same time. No doubt the anti-intellectual Tea Baggers are scrambling for a dictionary.
