And IF there’s a massive earthquake in the southwest, or IF Yellowstone erupts, or IF aliens attack, or IF the sun explodes, or IF the magnetic fields of the earth flip, or IF Jack Bauer isn’t able to torture fast enough to prevent a ticking time bomb, Obama will also have a talking point. I don’t disagree with you there.[/quote]
If you agree with the ONLY point I was trying to make…then I really don’t see the point of your follow-up posts. I presented a scenario (economic dislocation) that is much, much more likely than any of the outlandish scenarios you presented above. If you can honestly put the odds of an economic collapse anywhere NEAR the odds of the sun exploding, then I would suggest you take a crash course in economics and astronomy at your earliest convenience.
[quote=afx114]But I also don’t see the point in making up fantasy scenarios in order to to bash your Anti-Christ.
[/quote]It’s really amusing to see how quickly people slip into hyperbole when interpreting the words of others. In this one chain alone someone has painted me as a doom and gloomer who expects that we are all going to “fucking die” (when I’ve never said anything even closely resembling this), and now you have painted me as someone who thinks Obama is the Anti-Christ. Remind me…when did I bring religion or Obama’s relationship to the Anti-Christ into any of my posts? Can you find one instance?
