what is govt. doing bailing out private companies as a standard practice? Compitition is what the free market is about, not govt. bailouts with strings attached.
serious economic downturn is generally not "standard practice"

Funny how someone would link to an article that doesn't address the argument they're trying to present, and instead shows the subject of their argument to be of sound and rational thinking.

Problem is, this forum is so full of irratational hate for my posts, or maybe even me, that I can't say anything with out it being attacked.
I could say the sky is blue and there would be eleven bravo calling me  a racist ( and insisting I prove him wrong ) ruis would dissect the statement into 4 different arguments and insist I define sky and blue, and that other idiot, who knows what he would say, something brilliant I am sure.  It is all getting alittle rediculous.
Nobody hates you or your posts lowing ... we had not spend so much time debating with you if we did ... you have to differenciate between opinions and the person behind it ... we may not agree with you post and may even think your reasons is idiotic at times but that doesn't mean we think you are an idiot ... big difference ... in the heat of battle the tongue may slip but I'm sure you are aware of this ...

And we're past rediculous some pages ago I agree

It is more than a loan, the govt. bought part of GM. Govt. has gotten involved in private business. dictating to them on private business matters within the company.

They could have nationalised it or let them fold.
Seems the least bad option in the circumstances TBH.

Because GM would've closed down, making thousands of people unemployed.
They capped/want to cap salaries so execs can't use the money given to save the company to instead pay themselves, being considered "exceptional" aid, as per the link you provided.

missed trhe point.. I really do not care what anyone on this forum thinks of me or my posts. Point is, there is very little debating and more personal attacks and insults and only because I said it and nothing to do with the message.

GM shouldn't exist. In the US, govt. should not interfere in competition.

Dicatating.........salaries, the opening and closing of dealships etc....

I would think you know better than that....my lack of reporting any of it should indicate I do not care. My point was the lack of quality responses to what I say or ask, substitued with the distraction of personal attacks and opinion.

That is the real world in the US..I really am sorry if you feel like you can not make it through life without the govt. taking care of you. I feel differently. Hense my problem with the growing entitlement of govt. dependency...

I am not surprised however that you would. Though it makes me wanna puke to hear you actually admitting it. YOU are part of the problem. not the solution

personal responsibility in exchange for govt. dependency...go figure.

you ask the how you have redefined the term so I offer every single post you have made where you have used the term out of context from the definition..Sorry if you don't think this is proof.
and that "every single post" bs is something you yourself have refused to accept as a backing up any claim in the past.  so, until you show me proof that I redefined racism anywhere here, youve got nothing to stand on. 

again lowing, what is so hard about pointing out exactly where I redefined a term?  really, if its "every single post" surely you could highlight a senteance or two for me.

you have done so in every single post you have used the word racist against me. You have not used it in context with the definition, in order to do so, you would have to have used in reference to my claims that my race is superior to another in any context, and since I have made no such claims, you calling me a racist is unfounded. I will not entertain this distraction any farther.

do you really need one? You insist I am a racist based on what I post? This is a fact. http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?pi … 6#p3075346

Have I ever posted anything that decrees my race superior to any other  for any reason ( the definition to racist)? Nope.
