First off, welcome BeastBomb

Secondly, I know there are likely more out there who agree, but because of how popular Obama is for some reason, most try to avoid speaking out all together. I find that pretty trivial myself, if you have an opinion you have every right to let it be known. Will everyone agree, no, but that's what makes us unique (in a sense)

Thank you, happy to find people who are like-minded in their beliefs. Hard to find people who will actually listen to a conversation these days.

It's hard to speak out in America anymore if your raised with a tradionalist mindset. The status quo has been falling away from tradionalist values and people are becoming so closed minded that it is impossible to have a good conversation with people. Most discussions turn into an arguement where both sides end up hating each other in the end. Makes me happy that i can find someone who believes in something that I do. I know my comment in the North Korean thread was stripped... Although i will admit i was being a little inciteful .

Well I try to be a pretty open minded guy

I don't really get why people are so quick to think one group has all the answers...it's not a democracy at that point then. Of coarse Obama loves playing the blame game (seriously, people have to at least see that what he does) so it's never his fault, which doesn't help public views. Gah, but whatever, maybe will all learn one day. As for your post, I didn't really get to read it since I'm not all that big on discussing politics due to how inept I can be sometimes. When it comes to stuff like that, I can really only talk about whats in front of me ^^;

Ehh, he's built an image around himself, the man who can do no wrong. Either way, politics is not a good way to make friends and I've have found that out the hard way many times, but I tend to not care about how people view me. Their opinion is there own. Only reason I like to ruffle people's feathers is because of a general interest that I have toward the subject. History and debating have always been a personal favorite of mine and it is thrilling to learn about how people have created their beliefs based off of their past experiences.

I was never big on history even though my dad is a major history buff (he's an electrician if you can believe that XD) so I do know quite a bit. I talk politics with friends when I know that it won't cause rifts or if we all can accept a certain idea. Back to the point at hand, I don't know what made him think spending more money would lower a debt, that just backwards. And then instead of taking care of affairs, the guy takes vacations like crazy, what the hell...

To be fair, spending money does help the economy, but he is spending it wrong. Instead of cycling it back into America, he gives it to third world countries and gives away American jobs and businesses. He does take vacations more than anything. A lot of people picked on Bush for doing stuff, but Obama has been doing things far worse and been doing more often. And Hey, at least bush took action at times. Obama seems to just sit on his ass and hopefully throwing money at it will "Fix it."

I do find it kind of suspicious that when they were investigating Obama's birth certificate he just so happened to report Osama's death. I can't even get a job, but he spends 100 million so he can have an inauguration like Lincoln.

Bolded: I disagree. The American economy is usually boosted by customer consumption and less taxes. When government keeps their hands out of the private sector and stops throwing money at the economy to try to give it a jumpstart (This causes inflation and a heavy loss to the value of the American dollar) will the economy steady itself out again. The Surplus package was proof of this sense most of the money was used for government employees like teachers instead of the "shovel-ready" jobs that the bill was "intended for" (Basically used to pay off unions and companies like Solyndra who supported his vote). Many probably do this "government back-scratching," but the money sent to Solyndra was tax-payer dollars for a technology that is not quite possible to create at an efficient cost or create a proficient amount of electricity ( I do agree about finding alternate fuels, but we don't have the technology for these types of inovations yet).

Oh geez...(although I doubt tensions will get high) Lets just all agree that he's not doing the right things.

Bolded: I'll give a to that.

It's not like I don't like the subject, but I don't know if my blog is the best place XD

Subject changer...hmm, not much going on with me right now

That's what I mean. When us the consumer spends, the economy will go up. It's when the government refuses to cycle that money back into our pockets and invests it more in "stupid affairs" is when we get more problems. Everyone wants to say that big business is the enemy, but reality as corrupt as they can get, they are the reason why jobs exist and why we can move forward technology wise. And yes, printing more money doesn't help either for obvious reasons.

Funny thing about the alternative fuels, the politicians don't really care about the environment nor do they really care about "alternative" fuels. Look at Nikolai Tesla. He wanted to devise a way to make infinite energy for free for everyone using his AC energy to help. Problem is, there is no money in "free energy." We have the technology to make hydrogen cars where you can make the fuel in your backyard if you wanted to. Problem is, the government would lose a lot of money in drilling for oil and marketing. (I remember when gas was under a dollar.) The technology is there, but it is all about money. Same with cures for diseases and such. We have been trying to fight cancer for how many years and given how much to it? You mean to tell me we have found nothing, but just easier ways to distribute medication? You how much money the government lost on curing polio? Billions. The red cross alone pockets at least 85% of the donations they are given. They made a fortune on 9/11. This may sound like conspiracy theory, but it is not.

So whenever anyone asks me why there is no cure for diseases or why we don't have fuel efficient cars: It's all about money.

You know they said they want to do these nano technology that is supposed to help humanity live longer, but it will never pass. There is no money in it for the corrupt to make in cure. Look at Obamacare, my friend who is a doctor, is being screwed up the ass royally. It's even worse when Obama taxes you for not having obamacare.

Man this weekend feels really off for some reason...not sure why

[Toasty Warrior]

Maybe because it's the calm before the storm, and it's back to college for testing and stuff? D:

I guess... but 2 weeks left, I should be excited, but I feel empty right now for some reason. No it's got nothing to do with a love life, it's just I feel drained for no absolute reason

[Toasty Warrior]

Maybe you need a little excitement in your life, you know, snap into a slim jim.

[MangaReader]

I'll get something going sooner or later XD

I know I made a claim about Paper Mario Sticker Star multiple pages ago...but I gotta say, this specific remix is wonderful

Haven't played a Paper Mario game since the one on N64. xD

[MangaReader]

Really, if you still have NGC, you really should play Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door

Why does that remind me of this?
