Stella, I saw it as entertaining and I'll tell you why.
4 years undergrad and 3 years grad school here. I met a lot of folks during those years and there were several majors that I would look at thinking "Why the fuck are they here"?
I understand someone wanting to better themselves intellectually and artistically but you must go into it with your eyes open. Before you declare a major, THINK. What will I do in 4 years?
There is nothing wrong with art or sociology or philosophy (Actually, a philosophy major might be really good for pre law)
One must have plans. General Studies as a major? Hellooooooooooooooo. Education is expensive. You need to have an idea that you are going to get a return on your investment.
What jobs require an art major? Can you do the same with an art minor? "I want to own my own gallery" OK, fine. Business major (so you'll know what the fuck you're doing and your business doesn't fail" and an art minor. If that gallery thing doesnt work out, you still have a means to make a decent living.
Im not saying universities shouldn't offer these majors and they aren't worthwhile but go in with your eyes open.
Unemployment for college grads is 6.62% according to this.
http://www.studentsreview.com/unemployment_by_major.php3
Unemployment for art majors is 12.7%. That's higher than the general population.


HW, think this answer should go on over to the exhibit on why americans are anti-intellectual.

His point was that government doesn't "create jobs", but sets up the "rules of the game" so that companies and people that do create jobs are not handicapped, but encouraged to do so.

Obama (and other statist) do not understand this in their bones, even if they can say the words.

Therefore, such humor as above, based on their real feelings, not on what they may profess publicly.

Romney's history is he don't fix things..he ships them off to china...

Or asset strips them...


Yet to this day, Romney's tax plan is as detailed as "The SECRET plan to end the Vietnam War" Nixon sold to Americans.
  So how is stripping away the BS "losing it" ... in truth, it looks to third parties as though the roles are the reverse of what's suggested in the above post.

Because as it is implemented, corporation capitulation centric; it is like ice cream, having no bones.

The strong and vibrant middle class is the jobs and wealth creator, not one other goddamn thing in the world.   Because there is a demand to supply.

To be fair Romney was talking about the private sector, as demonstrated when he mentioned government regulations on the private sector. Context is important. But that image is effective on the ignorant.




mnottertail -> RE: Town Hall Debate (10/18/2012 3:12:04 PM)

It must be, because even with that apology, it is still ignorant.

I wonder if Firm realizes all he is doing is advancing A THEORY just like others and that disguising it as fact through thinly veiled insult of the opposing ideology makes it no more valid than anything else posted here.

ETA, Is there any left wing syndicated radio not on Sirius/XM any more?
The best quote I was able to find was "Air America's radio efforts failed miserably. Any number of left-wing challengers to Rush Limbaugh have gone down in flames faster than the Hindenburg."


In fairness, NPR is pretty lefty. Admittedly moreso when DEMs are in the Whitehouse but they're usually pretty left and they're on terrestrial radio.



Peace and comfort,



Michael



In disqualifying NPR as "fairly lefty" you in turn frame your own commentary as decidedly hard to the right. They take FAR more moderate positions than I've seen you demonstrate here.

To be honest and accurate the US government creates many thousands, probably millions, of jobs.

Direct employment (bureaucrats, teachers, police, firefighters, soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines etc.)
Construction workers employed by road and bridge construction companies.
employees of other government contractors (particularly the defence industry).

Good to see the debate moderator nail Romney on his lie about Libya and Obama not calling it an act of terror for 14 days, when he infact blamed terrorists the day after.



Carney identified the inflammatory video, which denigrated the prophet Mohammed, as the spark that incited the violence and led to the Americans’ deaths. “These protests were in reaction to a video that had spread to the region,” he said. “The cause of the unrest was a video, and that continues today, as you know, as we anticipated. And it may continue for some time.”

Challenged by reporters to explain how the government affirmed that a video was the catalyst in Benghazi, the president’s spokesman said, “It's not an assumption. . . . What I'm telling you is this is under investigation. The unrest around the region has been in response to this video. We do not, at this moment, have information to suggest or to tell you that would indicate that any of this unrest was pre-planned.”


A non-preplanned terrorist attack. Right.

You Obama-ites will swallow anything. [8|]

edit: another source



While you wankers fail to address what is actually posted. Romney claimed Obama took 14 days to call it a terrorist attack. Romney was wrong, Obama called it just that the following day in the Rose Garden. The moderator said as much, so now you try and bring in something completely different to what I actually posted.

The moderator said Obama did. Obama's UN Ambassador said otherwise. So did Obama's press secretary. So your proof Obama said such is the Moderator? Was she there?

No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

Probably, she is CNN's senior Washington reporter. No matter what though he definitely said it.

Thanks for confirming Obama called the death of the Ambassador a terrible act, and proving Romney right.
Acts of terror non specific...
This terrible act... Very specific.

Is it really a wonder Obama's losing this election?




Politesub53 -> RE: Town Hall Debate (10/18/2012 4:52:04 PM)

Shakes head in dismay. What would we do without your insight Rob.

Only you could parse a paragraph to try and prove a point, without grasping something as simple as context. Even Romney was wise enough not to pull that shit during the debate.




tazzygirl -> RE: Town Hall Debate (10/18/2012 4:52:08 PM)

Acts of terror non specific...

Definition of TERRORISM

: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion
