General Discussion / Re: Martial Law Bill Signed
« on: January 09, 2012, 10:21:41 AM »Saying marriage is a state issue is like saying we should go back to having each state have their own currency.You're absolutely right. I've always been somewhat okay with other states giving the green light (as long as I don't live in one). But when you really think about it, it's really a bad idea for individual states to change the rules of marriage.

And aren't there more pressing issues than creating a "right" for less than 10% of the population?

Added! This is based off a list Nick sent me a few years ago. I'll add the Trammell tracks tomorrow (I have to convert the names).

I was thinking more like late 93.

If politicians actually did their job by defending the Constitution, we wouldn't be in this situation. In fact, we wouldn't have any of the problems we currently have. Unfortunately, most of them are just in it for the power. So they answer to campaign donors, not the people. The idea of "working together" is a nice thought, but it's not possible. At least not currently. What we need to do is throw out those who are just in it for the power, and elect/re-elect those who are in it for the people. Re-elect the bums and we'll get what we deserve. Oh, and if you think things are bad now, do a little research on the election of 1800. Supporters of John Adams said that "murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced, the air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood, and the nation black with crimes" if Thomas Jefferson was elected.

« on: December 29, 2011, 09:03:24 PM »This congress (both democrats and republicans) has to be the most pathetic congress in the history of all mankind. What's the point of even having them?Republicans in the house have passed lots of job-creating bills and budgets. Harry Reid refuses to put them up for a vote.
It's posts like this that make me want to leave this forum altogether.Eric - It's nothing personal. I actually like you. But you can't just throw out statements like that without backing it up.

Either way, I'm not bringing politics into this forum anymore.Unless you can backup your claims, I'd say it's the second one. Although I'd substitute the word "intelligence" with "knowledge."

« on: December 29, 2011, 10:57:23 AM »What's the alternative? End all spending altogether? Close all municipal fire departments and staff them only with volunteers? Close all the public schools and force parents to pay for private schooling? End Social Security and Medicare payments? Stop importing oil? Nuke the rest of the world and take their resources?Wow. There's so many errors in that statement, I don't even know where to begin. Believe it or not, you can cut government spending to a more responsible level without ending all services. If we keep spending, we'll eventually have to cut essential services because we won't be able to pay for them.
One has to think rationally. It is going to cost money to cut the debt. And, besides, this isn't Obama's debt. When George W. Bush took office, the U.S. had the biggest budget surplus in history. Bush put that to an end right quick, and the debt's been growing ever since. Bill Clinton may have had a sleazy personal life, but at least he knew how to balance budgets.
"It is going to cost money to cut the debt." That doesn't make any sense. How does spending less cost you money?
"This isn't Obama's debt." Really? I had no idea George Bush was still signing spending bills!
Republicans definitely lost their way under Bush, but to say that Obama isn't responsible for any of our current debt is insane."Bill Clinton may have had a sleazy personal life, but at least he knew how to balance budgets." That also makes no sense. The president has no direct control over the budget. He can make recommendations. He can ask for things, but ultimately it's up to congress. It was the Republican congress under Clinton that balanced the budget.
