OBAMA is the biggest pile of Sh*t EVER!

^ExTREMEly humorous statement, lol...they were the beginning of the end of punk...

^while I can most certainly agree with this.

^and I will most certainly agree with this, lol.

Strange thread, but one should expect such things, lol...

 

He is no longer in the Oval Office, which is a wonderful thing.

 

Right. So, to be clear, you can explain your statement about progressive Scandinavian countries falling apart, but you choose not to because you're too busy surfing and making money. Got it.

FYI this houdehold is educated, has your income beat by probably triple, two houses locally paid off completely, 40 acre camp inn colorado also paid off completely, and I'm a former business owner myself. "Unwealthy piss poor punk" is not the case. Nostalgic professionals who understand the importance of compassion, community, and social responsibility, who put their money where their mouths are and don't invest $.0001 in anything that impacts the environment or the American workforce poorly, or anyone that manufactures machines of war in any capacity, who buy lunch for the homeless regularly and donate out of our pay checks weekly. There is a probability but not a direct correlation between money and conservative thinking. Some of us have he balls to have integrity. It's easier to sell out and say that's the way of the world.

Go chase some chem trails, you social scientist.

 

dude you know nothing about me. I have all the attributes of a progressive, I don't want a government to force me to be one. Capitalism, conservatism.... Tell me one form of government or socio-econimic structure that is perfect?
Guess was? Utopia ain't never gonna happen.

You own a car? Own anything made in a foreign country?
Give me a break dude, you don't know sh!t about me and what I do.
Wanna talk compassion? You eat animals? Well I don't for reasons of compassion and the impacts it has on the environment, but I don't sit on a high horse and call people out for doing so, unlike you who think you are the motha fukin Dali Lama.
Calling me names doesn't make you better than me or win any arguments.

So.... again progressivism destroyed Scandinavia how? This whole beef goes away when you say "sheet I guess that was a poorly calculated overstatement and I didn't back it up" and post three pictures of chickens.

My retirement portfolio consists of zero investments in dirty energy, machines of war, or companies that have outsourced manufacturing jobs or fought against their unions. Recently ditched Verizon during the strike. Hope that clarifies.

I own a car. I wish I didn't have to. I do check to make sure it was made in the USA, or at least assembled there. It's on every vehicle. I avoid foreign made products if a domestic alternative is available. As a participant in consumer society, how I spend my money is a way I cast my vote every day. I avoid box stores and gas station chains when I can as well.

I pick up trash everywhere I go (woods beach etc). That's social responsibility. Everybody should do it. When you litter you're a POS. Same attitude can be applied to society on a number of levels.

I respect the veggies. I only eat cage free chickens and i avoid red meat.

I have a high horse. Absolutely. The view up here is pretty bleak unfortunately. Looking down everybody seems to be screwing each other, being selfish and greedy, and justifying it. They seem more fixated with their gadgets and crap than their plant that's gasping for air.

 

I called out Sweden as an example not Scandinavia as a whole.
Swedish government's progressive policies towards immigration has led to the coddling of Muslim immigrants and has led to no go zones and yes the alarming rise of rape.
You don't have to welcome in and ensure equity and equality for immigrants from war torn countries who don't have the same moral values as the West to be progressive.
In fact it's much more productive and progressive to give them aid within their own countries so they can prosper in their own country.
And like I said you don't know **** about me. Just because I don't want a government forcing me with violence to cough up my hard earned dough doesn't mean I horde it all to myself and fuk off the less fortunate.

I thought the steel burrito was Blasters, doing his multiple personality thang. It appears that the burrito is siggy?

Anyways, back on topic kidz.

Obama will get credit for the stock market 'recovery' but he deserves nada. The effing market couldn't have gone lower in 2009 or it would have been all over & done with economically. So there's that.

Obama actually fukkkked over businesses with his insane high-tax-on-small-biz Obamacare. He also fukkkkked over biz when he said "you didn't build that." At that point, I was totally done with the asshat. Guy just doesn't get it.

And why would he?? Lifetime govt worker, never held a job in private sector, believes the taxpayers are there solely to feed the govt, believes taxpayers should serve govt not the other way around, and what's worse is that Obama is a member of the 1% that he rips on to do his vote pandering to the ignorant American sheeple.

Just sayin'. Facts ^^

 

Your original statement was that progressive governments in Scandinavia were failing. It's incorrect. Your words not mine.

 

We have to take the good with the bad and the bad with the good.
Pendulums swing both ways. Sooner or later, things swing our way.
But when the pendulum swings back, I prefer to be alone, so I do not have to have the moral obligation to tell anyone to "duck!!!!"!!!!! hahahahaha!!
Go surfing, U2B...its seems nice out there today.

 

The Mrs works this weekend. I'm on kiddo detail. And it looks good out.

Next weekend it will be flat.

 

Wrong Soggy Burrito oh so very wrong.
I never mentioned Scandinavia in my argument in regards to a rise in rape in which you vehemently and unrightously scolded me for being a blanket statement that had no validity other than your baseless criticism of my charecter.
My argument of progressive governmental policies were directed at Sweden which is being destroyed by Progressive Immigration Policies.
Along with the rape epidemic it is also contributing to the Demographic Winter which is the true destruction of the Swedish population.

I had a discussion about this when the economy hit its low point and leveled off.

First of all, the U.S. wasn't the only country going through an economic recession. Indeed, the entire globe (with the exception of China) was hit hard as well.

I stated at the time of the ongoing campaigns of Obama and McCain that whoever inherited the economy would get the credit for the turnaround.

Everybody tends to place so much blame on administrations whenever there are big upticks or downturns in an economy, some of which is probably deserved. However, it needs to recognized that every single administration that I can remember (going back to Nixon) has seen both "booms" and "busts", with the possible exception of the Carter years.

Economies expand and contract naturally. Therefore, in the case of a depressed economy, it is a fact that with minimal Government manipulation, the economy will eventually hit a peak low and then gradually grow again. It's basically a natural cycle.

That being said, I firmly believe that the economy would have eventually turned around under either administration. How fast, or how strongly it recovered could be argued for years by both experts and surfing non-experts alike.

So, Obama deserves the credit for the turnaround because it happened on his watch. Conversely, blame falls on Bush for the recession. People still argue to this day that Bush policies created the recession, but they are political arguments...not economic. But Bush and his cronies were farking idiots, make no mistake about that.

It is now generally accepted that banks were the cause, due to the packaging of lousy subprime mortgages being put out on the investment market. The recession was gonna happen, undoubtedly.

My biggest concern about our economy and market health rides on Obama's use of "Quantitative Easing". What little I know about QE is that is extremely unorthodox and artificial in nature. Combined with the Fed's policy of holding rates at an extremely low and artificial number, it is possible that Obama may have only put off the inevitable and handed off a potential clusterfvck to the next administration.

And guess who will get the blame?

 

Ok dumfuk your exact words were progressive governments all over the world were failing. The only example you cited was a rise in rape in Sweden. Would you say that that one example of crime rate going up backs up the larger blanket statement? Reasonably?

 

Nothing for nothing, dude, but the skyrocketing increase in sexual assaults (including rapes) in the nations that have welcomed the Islamic emigres is not coincidental. It is absolutely linked to the male Muslims who view the western females as prey, property & items to be defiled.

I wonder why the women who are so offended by Trump's poooosy' comments of many years ago don't get on their high horses & protest the rampant sexual assaults of their 'sisters' in western Europe. Merkel is directly responsible for this abrogation of women's rights because she's the idiot who allowed 1 mln Muslim immigrants to flood into Germany without proper vetting.

I believe it was Sweden that has been handing out wristbands that say (in Arabic) 'don't grope' as the authorities desperately try to stem the massive number of sexual assaults on western women by Muslims.

Not making that up. Facts are just facts.

 

“We’re hoping mainly that this will get immigrant boys to think twice. A lot of them don’t seem to realize that this is a crime,” Sweden's national police chief Dan Eliasson told news agency TT.

Swedish police were heavily criticized for not releasing details on the total 36 reports of sexual assault and two rape allegations filed after the festivals in 2014 and 2015.

Many of the alleged perpetrators were Afghan refugees, newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported when it broke the story in January, as police fielded accusations of burying the reports to avoid stoking anti-immigrant sentiment.

With the festival season about to kick off, police have started the new #tafsainte (Don’t grope) campaign as part of a wider plan to counteract sexual harassment among young people.

Ayesha, 17, didn’t think the campaign would stop the problem but welcomed the fact that the police were taking it seriously.

“I think it’s a big problem, not only at festivals but in the streets as well,” she told The Local.

“Guys just think it’s easier to do it at festivals because there are a lot of people and we won’t notice.”

Police officers will hand out armbands at major youth events this summer. The text on the bracelets reads: “POLICEAVSPÄRRAT #tafsainte (Police cordon, don’t grope.)

 

Listen you fukin Soggy Wet Burrito, lay off the booze for a hot second, sober up, and go back and read my posts.
I never said such a thing.
I only criticized Sweden's progressive immigration policies.
Zippy made that comment, not me you fukin wet brain land locked non surfin noodle.

 

Very moral of you.
However, lousy business decision. You see, mixing politics and morality with investments is not a winning proposition--it has proven, over decades, that it is a sure way to never retire.
Stocks, no matter which company, are simply "investment vehicles".....profits, ROI, dividends, beta, PE number, etc.....those matter if you want to make money.
Morality has nothing to do with it.
Take that as financial advice from a peer surfer, man. Nothing more.
Now get a goods nice sleep, and keep yo hands offa yo hotta wifey!!! As for myself....not a chance!!

 

Well sheet Barry it's worked out well for me so far. I can't invest in the bad stuff. I'm all about living by the code.

Rental property is my exit strategy.

 

That is okay, and I hope it works well for you.
I invest a lot in pharmas, oil, and fatty foods, and gun companies
Now, I wish I had invested in tattoo ink companies--I would be a zillionaire by now.......

 

You. Zippy. Whoever. New Jack City round here. You're still a tardon. I still bench more than you. My old lady is hotter than you. And you still can't have a conversation at the grown up table on holidays without someone reaching out and saying to your parents when you go to the bathroom, "I'm so sorry. It must be sad and disappointing..."
