You truly believe that the Republicans in Congress are blocking his legislation from passing because he is black? You honestly believe that? They're politicians, they would spit on their own mother if she was of the wrong political party.Varegg wrote:
You guys are such twats ... I didn't say he got elected by a landslide because he is black or that he is being blocked solely because he is black, but then again you can't really dismiss the fact that he is black has somewhat to do with it ...
So racism is a problem but not in politics? ... what an amazingly ignorant observation ...
The only people who accuse the opposition of racism are the zealots that can't understand how anyone could possibly have a different viewpoint from their own. Racism is the easy rationalization for these types of people. Why else wouldn't everyone want 'free healthcare', 'free education' etc.
Besides, for every white person that voted against the guy because he was black, just as many people voted him into office precisely because he was black. White guilt, black people wanting one of their own in office etc. It's a retarded argument.
You blame zealots for not understanding a different viewpoint while you two seconds later call an argumented retarded because you don't agree ... good going Jay ;-)

lol all you want Jay but fact is your country struggles with racism like that in every aspect of your society ... Obama is hated by many Americans just because he's black and that he got blacks to vote in a much larger scale than ever before.Jay wrote:

You sound like one of those people always searching for the end of the world, convinced that it will happen during his own lifetime. What's been going on these last two years is nothing compared to the obstructionism of the past.
There's an old saying: "If Democrats and Republicans agree, you better check your wallet because you just got robbed."
edit - Oh, and blaming it on racism... lol.
As I said a simple statement but not far off from the truth ...

1. Give Obama a second term to be blocked out by a the republican majority.
2. Elect a new president that believes 1/4 of the US population are freeloaders, belives religion can be read out of a hat and that believes 2% of the population isn't rich enough.
Good God what a political wreckage of a system you guys have created and perfected since Reagan ...

Then I suggest that Mek and you provide some evidence to prove such allegations ... it's kinda over the edge in my book to call out someone to be inches away from the same believes as WBC.Macbeth wrote:

That recall was politically fueled. There was what? One instance of an accelerator sticking? Funny how all the politicians talking about the dangers of Toyota products were Democrats from Rust Belt states I'd buy a Toyota over any American vehicle without a second thought.
But the one that DID get all the headlines, involved a highway patrolman (read - someone who knows how to drive, especially in emergency situations) who had his brakes fail from trying so hard to stop the car, and eventually died in a fiery inferno (with his family as well?) after a horrifying high-speed scenario.
I'm pretty sure it gave Rupert Murdoch a semi when he heard about it.
In all cases of Toyota and/or Lexus where the accelerator pedal got stuck it was because of the floormats in the car and not because of technical issues with the car!
When a new Toyota or Lexus is sold to a customer they have the same procedure all over the world when it comes to installing rubber or textile floormats being secured with hooks to the floor to prevent them from slinding in under the accelerator.
In the case of the highway patrolman the car in question didn't even have the correct set of floormats installed!
And as a sidenote: A fact that slipped the mind of those that blamed Toyota before they were dismissed ... the accelerators in most new Toyota and Lexus are made in the US by a US owned company by US workers.

No it wasn't random since I quoted that particular post.
Yes it was a random statement regarding old books in general that in many cases doesn't have more than sentimental value since the content of old books either are revised because of new science and research or because the initial idea of the book no longer are valid.
Is it really so hard to comprehend that?
@Uzi: Butthurt? ... nah, far from it ... I'm too old to get butthurt over something so trivial as this discussion

You did quite well until your last sentence as usual where you just have to throw in an insult because of your neurotic brain failure.
Yes that particular book is truly a work of art but I was speaking in general terms, something I thought a brilliant young man like you would have noticed!

That a book had a massive impact 200 years ago doesn't mean it's great today ... some books are just outdated and doesn't deserve more than sentimental value.Macbeth wrote:
Jay is a really unbiased source.
It was written in the 1800's and had a purpose. A purpose in a world much different than ours. I'm just saying the book is more deserving of a one because it was deemed boring to someone looking for entertainment in the 21 century.
Going by your reading history I'm guessing you are more interested in being entertained than informed about stuff. That's fine of course. I just think you shouldn't approach things like the CM looking for entertainment.
That's all.
