if you understood anything beyond literal speech, you'd understand that the concern is with the dumb seeping in. one defeats the dumb through systematic inquiry into the world around them, by, for example, gaining a decent understanding of the foundations of macroeconomics, rather than reading stuff that simply serves to reinforce a chimp-like collectivist ideology and identity trip. but i guess we can't expect you to get up to speed on subjects that are too hard and might upset the chimp cart if read and understood critically.
brush and spit.
You keep assuming stuff, you'll be the dumb quite soon. The reason I ended up so absolute, in my speech & ideologies is, I did research. I learned & understood. I'm not adept at explaning things it took Greensspan 50 years to learn. I have a laymans understanding. Kinda like aerodynamics. Having a general knowledge of how flight works doesn't make it any less magical when you're watching a 727 ascend.
Ironically, when I have a question, the guys who claim all this expertise are the ones who have no explanations but they do have plenty of smarmy remarks.

1. yes, you stopped learning at a relatively low level and became quite rigid. that is, in a definitional sense, the dumb. it's somewhat tragic because you could understand so much more if you weren't such a lazy stick-in-the-mud.
2. no, you just don't understand the answers through your torpor. again, if you're not willing to learn - by your own admission - the basics of subjects you expound grandiosely upon, stay in the kiddie pool. or, in your so eloquent terms, "fuck off."
Sorry, professor, you missed that one. The more I learned the farther right I went.

by "learned" you must mean eating up more cartoon nonsense. and that doesn't tightly correspond to the right or the left. there's very smart and learned people on both sides of the aisle. you're just one of the drones they put up WWF-level images for.
tell me, how would gaining a real understanding of economics hurt you? are you really that impacted by inertia? it's highly topical to the shit you spout about. why would you continue to mouth off knowing that you don't know fuck all? do something about and stop being such a pussy.
sorry, worker bee, you missed the whole fucking enchilada.

My understanding of government economics. Gain $100. Spend $100. What more it there? The Gain $100. Spend $11250. is killing us.
I'd like to know what, exactly, you're after. My limitations come in shit like "debt is good". I haven't been able to reconcile that. Fed bonds can't be repaid until the owner decides to sell. But we should sell bonds so we can spend our cash somewhere else? Regulating commerce, telling the owner what he may or may not do with his goods, is in our interest? Our Constitution says, gold & silver. The Federal Reserve isn't even a federal entity yet they control our money, which isn't backed by gold or silver.
I've looked into this shit & it makes my head hurt. It makes no sense. Overthinking.
Have a debt? Pay it. Instead, we get have to provide for the employees retirement? Spend the money. We'll make it back later. Hell, look at the whole JIT inventory thing. It is a microcosm of the whole whacked out system. When did it become ok to promise stuff with only the hope of being able to provide it?
I see it & it makes no sense. I read about it & it makes even less sense. I watch it evolve & see we're in the toilet because we've gotten away from basics & into some econ majors wet dream. The system is convoluted & getting worse. But it's ok. Your taxes went to pay off the unions instead of the bond holders.

yes, i'll bet it does. if you had a real interpretive framework, you could make it your bitch.
and if you think managing the country is like managing your personal finances and can be reduced to such simple maxims, well, good luck with that. the world is a little bigger than your stinky little oyster. though i do applaud your personal orientation toward debt, and i wish more observed such simple rules for simple matters. but nope, jimmy dipshit gotta have his plasma TV, even before he pays his child support.

ftfy.
Hey, maybe you'll let me wash your car for you sometime. :notworthy:
Minx, I'm not sayin' your education and knowledge of all things doesn't have value. I believe it does. On the other hand; over thunking the basic has become a hustle where "free thinking hipsters" impress cool kids to be admired. Liberal excel at it. -- Most of it is just bullshit.
Development of new products and ideas, science and engineering, the arts. Yeah, bring it, think outside the box. As for social engineering and government matters, overly complex thinking has created the fucked up state we live in. -- Simplicity brother.

i really have no idea what this hipster shit you're talking about is. to me hipsters are 'free range chickens.'
while you're absolutely wrong, not only about the answer but about the question itself (social engineering? WTF?), i have to give credit where it is due. you perfectly match de toqueville's description of the american episteme, circa 1836.

Re: Mid-east turmoil portends something ugly
there's no arguing that kids entering the job market today are fuxed. and there's plenty of people we shouldn't bother educating, like the folks either too dumb/lazy in a generic sense or the blockheads that think they know it all already (and especially if the latter is rationalization of the former). let them end up as drivers for a living. that's what they deserve.

I'm confused.
GW had two resolutions, authorizing force.
Specific for Iraq
General use of force
Plus, the backing of the UN
1441
1483
For nearly a decade, we've heard about how we were at war, illegally. blah blah blah...this topic mostly destroyed OTC.
Now, Obama has single-handedly authorized the use of force against a nation that is not a threat to us. His authorization is against a nation engaged in a civil war. His authorization of US materials comes at the behest of the UN, who has no authority over the US military.
Where is the outrage? I can't find Tim Robbins or the Dixie Chicks or Sarandon or the fat lesbian on The View. San Francisco & Seattle aren'[t overrun by caring & humanistic lefties.
What's going on?

Sorry my trucker buddy; the Rube Goldberg thinker society is like that.
Now get back being the backbone of the nation.
