blahblahblah
ParticipantI recommend that we become indignant and enter postings on internet message boards voicing our concern. Clearly this is the correct course of action, and will prevent this sort of outrage from occurring in the future.
Later in Tuesday’s debate, O’Donnell was pressed to answer whether she would repeal the 14th (citizenship), 16th (income tax) and 17th (election of Senators) amendments.
Wow, I didn’t know that a single Senator could have the power to repeal constitutional amendments. I learn something new every day when reading the news!
ParticipantAhhh, yes, I forgot that one!
9) American jobs and manufacturing have to be moved to places with lower taxes, fewer worker protections and environmental standards in order to remain competitive in the global marketplace. Never mind that Germany is the world’s second largest exporter and yet has higher taxes, more environmental restrictions and worker’s protections than the US. They can only do that because they are Germans. We are Americans, we are stupid, and we cannot compete with them. Therefore our jobs must go overseas.

ParticipantOK everyone I hate to have to keep doing this, but in the interest of maintaining our high productivity rate, I will do it again. Here are the things that will be posted in response to this thread. There’s no need to read any further, they’ll all be right here in handy summarized form. Back to work everyone, that is, if you still have a job!
1) Americans are too dumb to compete in the global marketplace.
2) Unions killed American production. If workers would just work longer hours in more dangerous conditions for less pay and fewer benefits, we might have more jobs here. Or maybe not, see #1.
3) Americans deserve to have their jobs outsourced because they are lazy and greedy.
4) America shouldn’t be concerned with manufacturing things anyway, we are an “idea” economy which provides valuable things like Mortgage Backed Securities, Derivatives, and Health Insurance policies.
5) American manufacturing died because Americans made crappy cars. American cars are crappy, unlike my new Mercedes. By the way, let me tell you all about it…
6) Americans are too stupid to learn the math and science necessary for manufacturing and design. Asians, Europeans, Latin Americans, Canadians, and also many Africans and Australians and Eskimos and Pacific Islanders and those from the Middle East as well as the Uighurs and Turks are much better at math and science so they will do all of our math-ing and science-ing from now on. Except when it comes to creating our unique “idea” products like Mortgage Backed Securities, Derivatives, etc… We’re keeping that expertise “in-house.”
7) Anyone who complains about the loss of American manufacturing is just jealous that they’re not a successful financial planner/day trader/real estate investor/wealth manager like me. By the way, have I told you about the house I’m buying in Rancho Santa Fe? It’s fantastic!
8) CHOOSE ONE BASED ON POLITICAL AFFILIATION:
a] It is all the Democrats fault. Things will be much better when we get more Republicans in office.
b] It is all the Republicans fault. I’m sure that the Democrats will turn things around soon.

Participant[quote=urbanrealtor][quote=CONCHO]As with the present, I don’t see conspiracy, I just see idiocy and greed.
If more than one person is involved, if the parties plan and agree to a course of action, it is a conspiracy. Look up the word. con for together/with, spire, from respire, “to breathe.” It basically means, “to breath the same air.”
The US media has very effectively conditioned the public to laugh at or dismiss anything that the word “conspiracy” is attached to. If conspiracies don’t exist, then neither does the mafia, the drug cartels, etc…[/quote]
Taking that broad of a definition of the term is just plain dumb. By that definition, my loan officer and I are “conspiring” to sell houses. Connotation matters as much as denotation.
Seriously, I have yet to see an explanation of a the a Fed that denotes or suggests an extralegal or criminal conspiracy (which is what Griffin was connoting).[/quote]Sorry, I didn’t bother to include the detail that the plan must be illegal, wrongful, or subversive. I didn’t think I had to mention that bit since as you said, people are discussing criminal conspiracy. I guess that makes me a dum-dum! Next time I will just cut and paste the definition from m-w.com.
