View original postThe 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.

A good thing? You are either a rather unusually fanatic anarchist, or you've got some strange ideas of how to define "a good thing".
View original postIt 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.

They had better. Although defaulting hardly equals bankruptcy in the sense that you may mean, it certainly would hurt the global economy quite a bit.

Government "shutdown" my ass..... - 06/10/2013 06:48:02 PM 1549 Views
Why would your government shut down your ass? - 06/10/2013 08:03:57 PM 1028 Views
Actually, it is... - 07/10/2013 04:12:30 AM 981 Views
Must we do this again? - 07/10/2013 05:45:00 AM 964 Views
Not to mention they've gerrymandered like there's no tomorrow. - 07/10/2013 05:49:23 PM 865 Views
I hope we do default. - 07/10/2013 07:04:24 PM 864 Views

Well it has been 70 years since we had a World War - 07/10/2013 09:37:14 PM 938 Views
You see in America we don't shoot stupid - 08/10/2013 06:59:53 AM 768 Views
never going to happen - 08/10/2013 01:13:10 PM 963 Views
When gerrymandering there is no tomorrow, just the current decade - 07/10/2013 07:29:39 PM 854 Views
I'm curious as to why you say "unpopular bill" here - 08/10/2013 09:02:49 AM 875 Views
Force of habit or slip of tongue, "Unpopular set of laws" - 08/10/2013 03:05:18 PM 883 Views
Ha! - 09/10/2013 08:37:25 AM 884 Views
Bad enough, no? - 08/10/2013 06:32:06 PM 718 Views
Certainly - 08/10/2013 08:23:34 PM 960 Views
give a coherent reason for the shutdown and the label of economic terrorist will go away - 07/10/2013 08:11:27 PM 972 Views
Why should I try to discourage you from using a label that makes you look like a fanatic? - 07/10/2013 09:23:40 PM 858 Views
i guess i should have put the disclaimer you asked for so you would know to be offended, is that it? - 07/10/2013 10:49:43 PM 841 Views
It's pretty fucking sad any of us think we need a reason to act civilly, courtesy is its own reward *NM* - 08/10/2013 07:50:00 AM 496 Views
So you mean I shouldn't call you "an uncle fucking horsefucker" then? - 08/10/2013 09:04:06 AM 793 Views
That's correct Larry, that would be unproductive - 08/10/2013 04:04:39 PM 880 Views
Of course it would; I rarely use such words toward people who might be still involved in a convo - 09/10/2013 08:39:22 AM 788 Views
Re: Of course it would; [...] - 09/10/2013 05:25:28 PM 829 Views
hey, i've given plenty of reasonable alternatives, i don't see why you can't compromise with me *NM* - 08/10/2013 10:09:44 PM 427 Views
Compromises? You've called my party terrorists and made it clear it wasn't hyperbole in your eyes - 08/10/2013 10:23:05 PM 868 Views
read what you wrote, direct it at your party, and look up "satire" if you still don't get it..... *NM* - 08/10/2013 10:43:31 PM 526 Views
It's always painful when people think they're being funny or clever rather than sullen - 08/10/2013 11:33:36 PM 810 Views
remember that time when the Dems shut down the government to stop the iraq war? oh wait.... - 09/10/2013 12:42:53 AM 859 Views
Probably a bad analogy pick, many of the Dem-initiated shutdowns were over defense spending - 09/10/2013 01:11:38 AM 772 Views
That's about it. - 09/10/2013 12:36:30 AM 696 Views
Also, I wish you wouldn't egg them on - 07/10/2013 05:46:20 AM 835 Views
While I agree with your sentiment, "Big Government" is not a cause. - 07/10/2013 03:34:40 PM 1030 Views
Wow. Been a long time since we had a thread like this. I like it! :-) *NM* - 10/10/2013 03:55:50 AM 452 Views
