Are you black? Is it a stereotype to call you a black or a category? Its just what you are.... and if your views align themselves with liberalism, then you are a liberal
(V): Now looking back over the last 100 posts or more, I can see why its so difficult to debate with you... you are all over the map, you never seem to stay on topic, I still havent found where you answered my question about trickle down economics?
I wont even use the word liberal.... but many people who have debated with me about how trickle down economics doesnt work, are now the same people who tell me that you have to keep the big dogs alive to protect the little dogs.... do you see any contradiction there?
Czuch: There are expressions and there are labels.
What is a liberal Czuch? Parties vary from country to country and from day to day in the political world.
eg Maggie set up the expenses system that our MP's have been abusing. Labour despite being in power for many years has not sought to reverse such a decision, and now all parties MP's are saying it's bad and they are sorry... but it was within the rules.
Teema: Re: I can see why its so difficult to debate with you... you are all over the map, you never seem to stay on topic
Czuch: Well maybe you were looking to hard and missing my answers. I mean I studied economics at school... did you? Is your ed system the same, do you get taught the same history??
Teema: Re: I can see why its so difficult to debate with you... you are all over the map, you never seem to stay on topic
(V): Then where is your answer about trickle down economics? Its a simple question, yes you believe in and like the concept, or no you think it is a faulty economic policy?
Bernice: Bludge?? Those that are genuine, or those that are not? Those that are not get caught over here... But that are genuine....
... let's just say one lady looking after 3 kids found out that red tape had made her lose out for several years over a 'tick' in a small print box. Even though nowadays what she missed out on is automatically included. It's only because she was inspected that she found out what she was missing out on.
... The inspector said she deserved all the help she was due for the job she had to do.
You see you can be unemployed and still be working hard. Or do you feel Parents don't work in looking after kids?
(V): Or do you feel Parents don't work in looking after kids
of course parents work in looking after kids......BUT....why cant the "bludgers" do what the average man- woman does that has a family.....go to work, earn money and stop bludging off the system.....there is way too much of it...
Teema: Re: I can see why its so difficult to debate with you... you are all over the map, you never seem to stay on topic
(V): Trickle down..... Not good
Okay, now we are getting somewhere..... if trickle down economics is not good, it doesnt work, then why is it, in your opinion, something that will work in a bail out situation?
Teema: Re: I can see why its so difficult to debate with you... you are all over the map, you never seem to stay on topic
(V): Why... boards, cycles, and other things like Madoff.
So, boards are bad, but you trust some government bean counter to make better choices for us then? ...and what if the bean counter is Bush, for example, and has his head in the butts of oil? Then do you still want the government to make the decisions about where to use trickle down and where to not use it?
You just get into too much trouble when you start trying to micro manage everything... of course the free market has its pitfalls.... like you said with a democracy, its only the best we have found so far, but I dont see anything that tells me that a free market economy isnt the best we have so far, or that a socialized, micro managed economy is any better
Teema: Re: I can see why its so difficult to debate with you... you are all over the map, you never seem to stay on topic
Czuch: it's the reasons why it's not good. I gave a hint by referring back to Pres Raygun.
Again... it's a matter of economics and real life, rather then ideal models.
and Btw.. if regs are in place no-one needs to micro manage from the government. As the auditors/accountants/lawyers by LAW will do it as part of the yearly accounts.
Teema: Re: I can see why its so difficult to debate with you... you are all over the map, you never seem to stay on topic
(V): it's a matter of economics and real life, rather then ideal models.
Well the problem I see with your way, is that now you bring too much subjectivity to the equation.
Who then decides what is too high or too low, maybe it is someone you agree with or maybe it is not anyway, its always a subjective call made by fallible and mortal humans, and you may like the decisions they are making right now, but how do you guarantee that will remain as such?
Teema: Re: I can see why its so difficult to debate with you... you are all over the map, you never seem to stay on topic
(V): Anywho... my only point was originally, that when I used to complain that you cant take from the rich to give to the poor because we need the rich to create jobs for the poor, all I heard from you and other like minded people was how wrong I was, that trickle down was all hog wash..... and now all I hear from you is how we cant let the big guys go down, because it will effect all of the poor people who make a living because of these big guys!
Its all a bunch of contradictory crap from you all... saying one thing when it conveniences you and saying the exact opposite now, because it conveniences you now!
Teema: Re: I can see why its so difficult to debate with you... you are all over the map, you never seem to stay on topic
(V): And we are not talking about trickle down, we are talking of uncontrolled collapse.
R u kidding me?? really???
Thats exactly what trickle down is.... when big companies support smaller companies who support their employees who again support other small businesses... and if the big guy falls, so too does the rest of them!
That is exactly what trickle down is!!!!!
and when Raygun was doing it, you said it was bogus, but now when bam is at it, well all of a sudden you think it is the best economic policy ever invented?????
Some pseudo clever jokeheads want to hunt Cheney now for trying to eliminate some of the top terrorheads? I for my part want to see Bidens head r...d off
There is a huge problem with trickle UP in Basel Switzerland. The rich here (nasty companies and the government) make to silver what is holy to the youthculture, and this with spiteful stubbornness since 20 years. What a joke to know these people still sitting on their chairs while everybody knows that they are no more able to watch them self in the mirror. If that continues, burrying will be just a matter of hygienics.
(V): The Sharia is the same for the Muslims as the Malleus Maleficarum for Europeans. It doesn't take much to understand that, and Muslims better stop expecting that Allah is happy with them. For living in the past and not in the present, it's a Muslims choice to arrive in the present here and now. Yes, I consider the Qur'an as a nice piece of literature, that's it. If it can teach the Muslims decency, so be it.
gogul: Ahhh so you mean the misinterpretation of certain verses regarding what happens to those who engage in suicide bombing and other activities involving attacks on civilians.
IE... they won't go to heaven for suicide attacks, and attacks on civilians is forbidden....
Like with all religious books it's a matter of interpretation. ... And those Muslims who pervert the Qur'an will face the same problem that those who pervert Christianity or any other religion.
(V): I observe that it is the very choice of individuals to face hell [soon]. I'd go with the saying that they don't know what they do, and a slap will make the gate to heaven for some of the terrorists.
And from what I gather, it is not about a head hunt for Cheney, but about the secrecy of a program that some are saying that congress should have never been kept in the dark and as such were misled.
gogul: .. Interesting that many English laws (and as such all western law) derives from Islamic law... as entertained by John Makdisi in a 1999 law review.
(V): Aha. It's not that we have nothing from and with the Muslim. For my blabla it would go to far to explain Castel del Monte to readers, but I do like it.
To put it short: Mohammeds fight was the one against the Bizantine Empire. As it is Istambul today, Mohammed was successfull and the reformation of the Islam can be found about 100 years back in time. Anyone wants to challenge this thesis?
Tuesday: I don't want to put in words what I feel for figures like these. But it is because of individuals like them and more I like to bath in hate, I too need to be alone at times. Hate or lots of alcohol, that keeps me alone and away from G.W.Bushs decade.
Tuesday: I saw video of waterboarding. Bush and Cheney are no better than the terrorists.
Terrorism is an act to purposely attack INNOCENT civilians....
Waterboarding these non civilian terrorist, you cant see as even remotely different?
We allow NON INNOCENT people here be killed for their crimes, legally put to death... but you dont like that we waterboard some one who has intentionally attacked innocent civilians?
We allow women the right to kill their unborn children, but you cant stand us allowing a terrorist to be waterboarded???
I saw a video of an abortion and anyone who has had one or who has supported the right to have them, are no better than the terrorists
Lets challenge something completely new. Like the so called food suppliers, who make everything worse on this Planet, just to be able to buy 100 cars at once. Nestle, a prominent company among these.
Let me remind you that in our part of the world food gets thrown away, enough to feed the world population 7 times. In Great Britain food gets even poisoned, so that poor people can't take it out of the trash. No, the Brits prefer to criminalise the poor than to offer solutions to the problems.
