The dollar failsYou can’t eat your cake and have it too.
As much as the dollar is falling, it only affects importing and exporting. Inflation is occurring over fear that the oil prices are going to keep rising, but at the same time as our dollar affects imports and exports we’ll be soon have a different style of economy: instead of us importing everything we’ll be able to export just about anything at a lower cost and for a lower price-of which even China’s sweatshops couldn’t compete.
Why else do you think everything “made in China” has been so cheap for the last decade? They were able to artificially de-value their currency to the point that they could export products for a lower price at a lower cost. And now that the dollar is being degraded, we’ll soon be in China’s position when it comes to exports.
And so, the cycle will continue to occur until someone puts an end to it.
Of course, now that the housing market bubble has busted open, foreigners will inevitably start investing in real estate here at home and start paying all sorts of taxes that we pay.
TLDR version: The economy must have its ups and downs, and Roosevelt was an idiot for interfering. (view post) |

Those Walmart ****ersWalmart is a corporation, not a person. Thus, Walmart itself cannot be evil: only the people inside including the employees themselves. You want an end to a business, you get the employees to quit by not buying their products. You might ask, “what about their families? seriously, they have families.” Yes, and so do the people at the top, but there’s a price everyone’s got to pay when it comes to a boycott.
I myself don’t care either way, as I only shop at high-end retailers (eg. Gamestop/EB, Best Buy, Tigerdirect/Newegg, and Tommy Hilfiger). (view post) |

Call them what you want, aside from the liberal nation of the UAE the entire middle east is nothing but a death culture in the end. Same is true of any other Islamic-majority country, at least until the people start to stand out against the Islamic extremism. (view post) |

Defective Two Party System (USA)In Communism everyone is equal. Communism doesn’t fear and discriminate against race or sexual preferences. It doesn’t try and hold them back because of the language they speak or their personal spiritual beliefs. Communism re-establishes hope in a uniformed government that ACTUALLY cares about it citizens and HELPS them to achieve greater glory for their country, their family, and for themselves.
America isn’t perfect, but nor do we strive to be perfect. However, that is exactly why Communism is worse. Everyone has to believe that the government is perfect, there really is no choice in the matter cause the slightest defiance can lead to a revolution. But I’ll tell you what, Capitalism does anything but fear or discriminate. Try reading up on Ayn Rand sometime. Capitalism is simply about, “I” as in Individualism, and how “I” can appear to be different from “U2-1111”. Yes, some people deserve more than others-get over it. And if the government has to get involved, it really isn’t helping anyone. Helping someone is when the people willingly give up their time to help someone, doesn’t happen in any non-Capitalist theory.
America’s leaders on the other hand have only been “hell-bent” since the 16th amendment, before then we did actually trust our leaders more-and they actually were the people, good or bad they were.
Do you base that on the lack of education that the American Democracy is notorious for ignoring? The American school system is so poor and dysfunctional that its only because of those children deemed as gifted (aka with lots of money) that give our country any kind of educational credibility.
Quite frankly, the school systems in America suck because the parents actually go around suing anyone who hurts their kid’s stupid feelings. Then they whine about how their kids get beat up, or whine about the schools actually trying to stop a fight. Normally, I would say the parents should have to pay. But they do, it’s not helping period. And what, you think this is because of democracy? This is where the “entitlement” theory led to that that stupid president Franklin D. Roosevelt created as a result of the “Social Security” fund that never even was meant to retire on anyways!!!
Perhaps there would be many people suffering from medical problems and handicaps. Well as we ALL know the American Diplomacy gets off on squeezing money from the poor and offering sub-par treatments and PHENOMENALLY high prices. HMO, PPO, Blue Cross-Blue Shield… its all bull****. Under a Communist government paid system there would be no worries about funding from the people.
Has absolutely nothing to do with the American government being a republic. Perhaps the American government itself trying to tax the ****-loads out of any rich person while giving any illegal free access to everything we have. Plenty of hospitals have closed in the past years precisely because of Bush’s liberal policy on illegal immigration. Hell, I don’t even think Britain is stupid enough to open their borders just to anyone like Bush has to America. Intuition costs are too high? Oh really, mind telling that to the illegals who can get a scholarship into Ivy League schools? Don’t get me wrong, just that I’d rather see a thousand Americans getting free pbumes to Harvard or the University of Colorado than a single illegal.

I would like to point out that Hitler was elected because the Germans believed he could get them out of a depression that Europe ILLEGALLY put them through by taxation beyond all reasoning. (view post) |

Defective Two Party System (USA)Althea Posted:
If you seriously think America is a true democratic system, you need to read up on your history and politics again. Since the first day, America has been a “democratic republic” with a constitution. You’re right however, a true democracy cannot work in/of itself, otherwise it’s anarchy in the purest sense.
HunyrgLiekTehWofl Posted:
I couldn’t agree more. Whether on paper or reality, there’s absolutely nothing good about Socialism, Communism, Marxism, or whatever other word you want to give it. They’re dystopias, every single one of them since they all promote a perfect world.
PIMPTASTIC-FROTH Posted:
You’re only half-right. However, America was becoming more Socialist/Communist since earlier than almost other nation ever. It started in the late 1800s with the illegal ratification of the 16th amendment, you can thank the bankers for that.
Obviously it goes much further than that and the reality is a society based on Communism works under a prolific belief in their government and in their country as a whole, something America has not had since the death of Kennedy.
No, it has gone back since the original 13 colonies long before 1776. Americans have never accepted blind-trust in the government, at least not until they were forced to in the 1900s by a bunch of bankers, via the 16th amendment. (view post) |

In my opinion, the rest of the world can shove it’s bum where the sun don’t shine.
None of these countries deserve freedom, nor the people inside them. Our soldiers shouldn’t have to be dying for some barbarian Iraqi’s freedom. We should’ve just retaliated with a nuclear strike, show the ****ers who the real god is.

I ain’t voting this year. McCain, Clinton, and Obama can all just continue kissing the U.N.’s totalitarian bum. Obama? ****, you’re dumber than you think if he’ll actually get the troops out in 60 days. Clinton knows she ain’t. McCain thinks those barbarians have a right to our soldiers’ blood? Why don’t they quit killing our guys and spill their own blood. (view post) |

please square do something with the final fantasy viii universefinale Posted:
I liked Final Fantasy XII myself, but they could’ve added a replay system (similar to Star Ocean 3: Till the end of Time).
Back to FFVIII, the only thing I wish they’d do to update it is the ingame graphics (the CGI/FMV cutscenes were fine). Everything else about FFVIII was pretty good. (view post) |

Worst movie ever !!Fight Club – Absolutely the worse, I’ve seen more and better fight-scenes in a ****ing G-rated movie. Pathetic **** there.
American Gangster – Not enough action, too much ****ing talking. It should’ve centered more around Frank’s mob-life than his family. (view post) |
