President Obama vs Mitt Romney

Originally posted by ax412 Lol Pinn you comment about Economist was amusing... you know the phrase. You could line up every Economist around the world and you wouldn't find any two that agree. So there are scores who agree with you and scores who disagree. Not an attack at you, just an observation. I have deep respect for you.

you guys supposed to be working?

Of course. At the airport waiting for a flight to the East Coast to meet with the Government. Boredom breeds frequent visits to iamgaming.com. On a side note, there is a couple fighting about 5 feet away from me. The women apparently cheated on her husband 6 times (at least that is what he is alleging). There is a young women sitting two seats aways from me and we are cracking up.

Oh wow, someone is sensitive here

Hey Skiller, what was your country up to before the US entered WWII? I believe it was America's iron fist that saved London from being blonde haired and blue eyed. Not sure you understand US history, and I'm not going to attempt to explain 250 years of history to you. Your arguement is I am right because I say I'm right. In all seriousness, America has been the leading light of the world because we know how to make money and have immense military might. I find it amusing that we are trying to have a conversation with Europeans regarding US Presidency, as if we suddenly need to convince you what is good for our country. Unlike your Parliament that screams at each other daily, we actually respect differences of opinion here. I actually like hearing King's and Feh's points. It's what makes America great. We throw a bunch of ideas out their and we hope to choose the best one. Without the millions of ideas, we wouldn't be who we are today. And before you start criticizing America, please put down your computer, since it's probably running on an American made operating system, stop using Google for you search, turn off your color TV, turn off your alternating current lightbulbs, stop using the internet, turn off your car, stop flying in planes, take off your clothes since they were sewn by sewing machines, don't get your polio vaccine, and stop using any other invention the US has come up with. So instead of criticizing the US, perhaps your should consider how the history of the US has changed your life for the better. Also, doesn't your union have enough problems on their hands?

A little off topic:

Chisox, I'm going to look up their SEC filing to see why this is the case. Thanks for sharing the article. I'll have a response shortly.

We don't want to police the world. However, since we have been constantly under attack since 2001, I believe the instinctual reaction is to kill the people that are screwing with us. That said, noone I know supports war. You see, my belief is that these extremist hate America, not because we oppose Islam (which we don't), but because they have a view that the world should obey their way of life or die. And America seems to be standing in their way. That is why they are constantly messing with us. As for the masses, I think our whole country is tired of war. We just want to concentrate on ourselves and our families and make our lives better.

Yup.

Originally posted by ax412 Lol right now, these are the BEST times in the world to borrow. (When Inflation goes up, Who wins? Borrowers or Lenders? The Borrowers do :) ) So if the US Governement is going to borrow from China, I'd rather it did it now. Because the Nominal Interest rate is more or less getting rap3d by the rate of inflation. (which is low) A trillion dollars today will be funny money 30+ years from now. If you're gonna borrow might as well do it now. I thought we already knew that America> Now back to this upcoming election :) America is awesome because when we borrow money, we BORROW MONEY IN US CURRENCY. So whenever the Fed decides to print more of it, China and Brasil have heart attacks. Lol somebody wake me up when China finishes their aircraft carrier and then I'll tell them to build 11 more.

Phant, borrowing from other countries are not the same as borrowing from a bank. The interest rate you are talking about applies to borrowing in the US. When a country borrows from another country, it's not just an interest rate you worry about, but also all of the offsets that are in place to borrow, which is why, for example, this administration is unwilling to push the DMCA on China. This costs the US billions in lost revenue. China has explicitly stated that if America is going to impose it's intellectual property laws on China, China won't lend.

Anyways, I'm out for a few days. Good chatting with you guys. I actually am enjoying the good conversation. See you this weekend.

I wouldn't even say that it's the majority of the people that want to police the world, but the Government itself. Of course, this is where democracy fails, not only in the US though but also here. It might be that the amount of US citizens who think that way is still a little too high but I believe you that it's not the majority. That was badly phrased, my bad.
