j_b Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Government budget shortfall isn't the cause of our economic woes but merely it consequence. Most evidence suggest that cutting necessary spending and economic stimuli will make the crisis significantly worse. The former darling of free markets zealots, Ireland, reminds us daily of these facts. Quote

Jim Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Well these folks don't seem to be short on cash nor have many of them missed a meal recently. Quote
murraysovereign Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I was thinking the same thing: "Target - where disproportionate numbers of obese people shop" At least. I hope that's a disproportionate sample group...? Quote

I hope that's a disproportionate sample group...? If stores like Target would simply retrofit with livestock gating technology they wouldn't have this problem. It's time for the gigantic to push for the same rights and consideration we gave the disabled in 1990. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 The obese of this country have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Even if they can't always stand up for their rights without assistance. Quote
prole Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 America is one of the few places in the world where it's possible to be obese and malnourished at the same time. It's the ultimate achievement of the industriofactoryfarmglobocomparativeadvantagefficiency complex. Quote
Choada_Boy Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 America is one of the few places in the world where it's possible to be obese and malnourished at the same time. I sense David Cross' stand-up routine here. Please provide citation(s) before I laugh in agreement. Quote
Fairweather Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Listening to TTK pontificate about the hefty is like listening to Michelle Obama talk about salad bars. Quote
Nitrox Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Listening to TTK pontificate about the hefty is like listening to Michelle Obama talk about salad bars. Hey, that's not fair, he did some TR's about shitty slag piles. Quote
Hugh Conway Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Oh look! It's junior date rapist! Quote
Nitrox Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Oh look! It's junior date rapist! I'm flattered that you follow me around and make stuff up just to get my attention. Reminds me of a Mexican club doorman who talks trash because passerby'rs wouldn't notice him otherwise. Quote
Hugh Conway Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 so that makes you a mexican door man date rapist following around TTK? Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 so that makes you a mexican door man date rapist following around TTK? and according to j_b he is "industrious, and hard-working" (and that is NOT racist) Quote

j_b Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 Note that we don't hear from regressives that we are like Ireland. Remember how they wanted us to look like Greece to point the finger at the public sector as if it were responsible for our problems. Is it because Ireland shows that a deregulated, bloated finance sector is fully responsible for the market crash, the economic downturn and the fiscal crisis? Quote

Is it because Ireland shows that a deregulated, bloated finance sector is fully responsible for the market crash, the economic downturn and the fiscal crisis? Are you surprised? I'm not surprised. I'd be surprised if you were surprised. Nothing any of these sniveling, mendacious, worm-tongued little coward fucks say or do surprises me at all. I simply cannot be surprised. At least when Spain goes down, they'll be able to blame the Mexicans. But still, I will not be surprised. I'm immune. Quote
murraysovereign Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Ireland's problems derive almost entirely from their president's idiotic promise to back-stop the banks by guaranteeing all their loans. Should have just let 'em swing in the wind. Hard to do, politically, but it's not like the government are exactly being hailed as heros for taking the easy route. When you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't, you might as well be damned for taking the least ruinous path available to you. Quote
Hugh Conway Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Hard to do, politically, the politics is easier than the practice would be. Irelands a house of cards built on predatory tax rates and an unsustainable credit fueled building boom. It's the pure product of Peter Pugets pudenda! Note: the Irish governement gets a couple % of the value of every house sale from a stamp tax that's included in the financing. Helllooooo spending bubble! Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Ireland's problems stem from the arseholes, lunatics, melancholics, drunks who inhabit it. Quote
