I hope we do default. ranagrande Send a noteboard - 07/10/2013 07:04:24 PM

The chain of events that would set off would likely result in the collapse of the entire global economy, and that would be a good thing.

It won't happen though. If there's one thing American politicians care about, it's amassing and protecting their own personal wealth. They'll cobble something together at the last minute to avoid bankruptcy.

Why would your government shut down your ass? Yunalesca - 06/10/2013 08:03:57 PM 1073 Views
Actually, it is... Dannymac - 07/10/2013 04:12:30 AM 1016 Views
Must we do this again? Isaac - 07/10/2013 05:45:00 AM 998 Views
A whole generation has voted DNC twice. Dannymac - 07/10/2013 04:18:25 PM 835 Views
It voted RNC twice right before that, then DNC twice before that, then RNC thrice before that Isaac - 07/10/2013 05:18:31 PM 865 Views
elections are a cyclical affair by nature. the gop won't always be the party of stupid.... *NM* moondog - 07/10/2013 08:02:44 PM 478 Views
Not to mention they've gerrymandered like there's no tomorrow. Legolas - 07/10/2013 05:49:23 PM 905 Views

Uhm. Legolas - 07/10/2013 09:09:45 PM 778 Views
Well it has been 70 years since we had a World War Isaac - 07/10/2013 09:37:14 PM 971 Views
You see in America we don't shoot stupid Roland00 - 08/10/2013 06:59:53 AM 808 Views
never going to happen Praziquantel - 08/10/2013 01:13:10 PM 996 Views
When gerrymandering there is no tomorrow, just the current decade Isaac - 07/10/2013 07:29:39 PM 896 Views
I'm curious as to why you say "unpopular bill" here Larry - 08/10/2013 09:02:49 AM 916 Views
Force of habit or slip of tongue, "Unpopular set of laws" Isaac - 08/10/2013 03:05:18 PM 926 Views
Ha! Larry - 09/10/2013 08:37:25 AM 925 Views
Bad enough, no? Legolas - 08/10/2013 06:32:06 PM 754 Views
Certainly Isaac - 08/10/2013 08:23:34 PM 1003 Views
give a coherent reason for the shutdown and the label of economic terrorist will go away moondog - 07/10/2013 08:11:27 PM 1019 Views
Why should I try to discourage you from using a label that makes you look like a fanatic? Isaac - 07/10/2013 09:23:40 PM 894 Views
i guess i should have put the disclaimer you asked for so you would know to be offended, is that it? moondog - 07/10/2013 10:49:43 PM 888 Views
It's pretty fucking sad any of us think we need a reason to act civilly, courtesy is its own reward *NM* Isaac - 08/10/2013 07:50:00 AM 514 Views
So you mean I shouldn't call you "an uncle fucking horsefucker" then? Larry - 08/10/2013 09:04:06 AM 840 Views
That's correct Larry, that would be unproductive Isaac - 08/10/2013 04:04:39 PM 926 Views
Of course it would; I rarely use such words toward people who might be still involved in a convo Larry - 09/10/2013 08:39:22 AM 809 Views
Re: Of course it would; [...] Isaac - 09/10/2013 05:25:28 PM 865 Views
hey, i've given plenty of reasonable alternatives, i don't see why you can't compromise with me *NM* moondog - 08/10/2013 10:09:44 PM 442 Views
Compromises? You've called my party terrorists and made it clear it wasn't hyperbole in your eyes Isaac - 08/10/2013 10:23:05 PM 913 Views
read what you wrote, direct it at your party, and look up "satire" if you still don't get it..... *NM* moondog - 08/10/2013 10:43:31 PM 540 Views
It's always painful when people think they're being funny or clever rather than sullen Isaac - 08/10/2013 11:33:36 PM 863 Views
remember that time when the Dems shut down the government to stop the iraq war? oh wait.... moondog - 09/10/2013 12:42:53 AM 906 Views
Probably a bad analogy pick, many of the Dem-initiated shutdowns were over defense spending Isaac - 09/10/2013 01:11:38 AM 812 Views
ok, henceforth instead of terrorists i will use "tea-hadists". is that more to your liking? moondog - 09/10/2013 10:26:36 PM 1022 Views
No. Overdue, insincere, and half-assed attempts at marginal courtesy is not 'to my liking' Isaac - 09/10/2013 10:40:57 PM 877 Views
and here is the big picture, in a nutshell moondog - 10/10/2013 12:26:18 AM 944 Views
"Here's the big picture" remarks shouldn't start by complaining about your personal paycheck Isaac - 10/10/2013 12:37:34 AM 869 Views
i think 800,000 federal workers would disagree but YMMV moondog - 10/10/2013 12:44:29 AM 1126 Views
The GOP House already voted to give them back pay Isaac - 10/10/2013 01:21:27 AM 878 Views
the House is good at making empty gestures without actually addressing the causes moondog - 11/10/2013 05:17:34 PM 920 Views
How is agreeing to backpay an empty gesture? Isaac - 11/10/2013 05:37:58 PM 1244 Views
it's empty because the shutdown persists. end the shutdown and they won't need back pay moondog - 11/10/2013 11:02:20 PM 955 Views
Make up your mind, you complained early that you weren't getting paid Isaac - 11/10/2013 11:21:57 PM 833 Views
Clever. Did you make that one up yourself? I like it, will have to remember that one... *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2013 11:31:22 PM 459 Views
i can't claim to have invented it, but use it as you wish *NM* moondog - 09/10/2013 11:34:39 PM 484 Views
I do remember the time when some Democrats were tarnished with that pejorative brush... Larry - 09/10/2013 08:48:50 AM 928 Views
Re: I do remember the time when some Democrats were tarnished with that pejorative brush... moondog - 09/10/2013 09:51:22 PM 930 Views
That schtick got old a long time ago. You need newer, better material. Larry - 10/10/2013 03:43:31 AM 853 Views
you'll be rid of me for good soon enough, don't worry about it moondog - 11/10/2013 05:10:00 PM 1048 Views
I couldn't care less either way. Just make stronger arguments. *NM* Larry - 11/10/2013 05:55:05 PM 481 Views
you do realize you would come out a loser in said anarchy don't you? random thoughts - 11/10/2013 03:56:24 AM 893 Views
You do realize that when I say "there are moments when I..." that it implies something else? Larry - 11/10/2013 08:22:26 AM 952 Views
the republicans won more elections now the democrats have shutdown the government random thoughts - 09/10/2013 06:37:31 PM 906 Views
to quote Jon Stewart: "if you're gonna shut it down, OWN IT! Don't fart and then point at the dog" *NM* moondog - 09/10/2013 09:37:28 PM 499 Views
I agree. So now Obama and the senate need to step up and own it. *NM* random thoughts - 10/10/2013 06:02:56 PM 393 Views
That's about it. MonCul - 09/10/2013 12:36:30 AM 733 Views
Also, I wish you wouldn't egg them on Isaac - 07/10/2013 05:46:20 AM 889 Views
While I agree with your sentiment, "Big Government" is not a cause. Palatine - 07/10/2013 03:34:40 PM 1071 Views
Wow. Been a long time since we had a thread like this. I like it! :-) *NM* everynametaken - 10/10/2013 03:55:50 AM 470 Views
