  1. Woah woah woah. It is partially Wall Street's fault, but it's mainly President Clinton's fault. He made the subprime loans and alternative financing legal.

    :rolleyes: Abortion is legal too. Yet you didn't take that route. No one FORCED that money to be lent subprime, maybe incentivized it, but not FORCED.

  2. ...And if you're upset at Chevy for not answering your question, you can always donate your guns to Goodwill... that'd be a REALLY good way to stick it in Chevy's craw.

    You writeoff the fair market value of the goods you donate. Get a receipt from wherever you donate from, or just claim it on your taxes and hope you don't get audited. $15,000 worth of "crap" would probably get the IRS's attention. $300 for a TON of stuff, not so much.

  3. Nothing set 100% in stone, but I'm still planning on meeting up with Keith and the rest of the Mansfield group at McD's off Hanley Rd (SR-13/I-71) at 9:30AM.

    Should be me, the girl, and my folks... but we may break off early depending on how my folks feel.

  4. I guess I don't recall Obama :cry:-ing over what HWJ said :dunno:

    This was ESPN's decision. I haven't read their statement, but I would assume ESPN doesn't sanction hyperbolic hate speech for some economic reason.

    Personally, I'm so desensitized to the whole Godwin's law (ie. "compare [Obama / Bush / Insert political leader that you don't like here] to Hitler") that I don't care. It's lost it's sting.

    In fact, I don't think what HWJ said was even that bad. One could argue it wasn't a direct comparison of Obama to Hitler, but more of an illustration of the dichotomy of Dems/Reps being similar to Nazis/Jews. But because of the way he said it, Obama is to Hitler as Boehner is to Netanyahu (sp?) it's considered derogatory.

    I guess I don't think the hillbilly that is HWJ is smart enough to concern himself with sentence structure to make that implication -- so whatever. You think things would've been different if HWJ would've switched the phrasing to pair Obama with Netanyahu and Boehner with Hitler? Same effect, I suppose :dunno:

  5. WTF... So much for freedom of speech in this country. I forgot we are under the Oboma regimen.

    Capitalism! You can say whatever you want to as long as you dont make a comment about me.

    I hope you're being sarcastic.

    Hank is allowed to say whatever he wants, he's not in jail for it -- the gov't didn't punish him.

    But, no one said there wasn't going to be other consequences for it.
