So have you thought of what type of careers you'd like in each field? It's really hard to know what you'd like to do. In my time in college, I went from thinking about working for the CIA, to being a lawyer, to being a judge, to being a politician, and I ended up owning a software company... go figure. And now, I've been having a lot of people telling me that if I go back to school, I should become a psychologist, and it's something I've actually been considering seriously. |

i believe that thinking he is some sort of shining light among the rest of them is absurd. in the end he's just another dc prototype that, for the most part, has no clue what he's talking about. just like mccain, just like obama, just like the clintons, just like reagan, just like the bush's. your RP fandom is tiring. br |

honestly bri...saying that shows that you actually have no idea what you are talking about. Dr. Paul is very very educated on the economic issues that he speaks about. Your ignorance/liberal bias is shining through big time on this thread |

your ignorant statements about Paul show your liberal bias. He is the only true conservative out there in the national public right now, therefore I wouldn't expect you to like him, therefore attack his intelligence and understanding of the issues, which actually makes you look stupid given the fact that it is very very clear to just about everyone else that Dr. Paul is extremely intelligent and educated on the issues. |

Here is what you said "in the end he's just another dc prototype that, for the most part, has no clue what he's talking about Yes, you went on to attack others, but you still attacked Pauls intelligence and substance at the same time, making you look like an idiot. |

no, you sound like a reaganite homer by ignoring half of my post, pointing out the one thing that gets your panties in a bunch and then calling me an idiot for saying that dc politicians aren't always what they seem. br |

Brian, I can't believe you just said what you said. Ron Paul is obviously just as human as the rest of us, but to say that he is just another member of the gang of 535 in DC is beyond ludicrous. You say he has "no clue what he's talking about". I would strongly recommend that you recant this statement because it makes you look like an idiot. Even Paul haters freely admit that he's very well educated on the issues and sees the same problems as they themselves do, he just wants to go about correcting them in the wrong manner. You, on the other hand, don't know what you're talking about. I'm sure I wasn't the only poster here to cringe upon reading your posts in this thread. |

Yeah, what's your point? I don't have a reading disability, I know exactly what you said. What, you think that throwing in the names of random assholes clears you of any wrongdoing and that you shouldn't be called out for the idiotic portions of your statement? That's like me saying that blue is actually yellow, followed by an accurate assessment of the color of the sky. You think that just because half of your statement reeked of the truth it excuses your blatant wrongness in regard to the other half? Don't belabor the process...

sirbri, I didn't "ignore" half of your post, I just pointed out the part that makes you look like a moron. The context of your statement in this case doesn't change the fact that you claimed that Ron Paul "has no clue what he is talking about". Yeah, you pointed out that there are others such as McCain, Obama, Clinton......etc, but it doesn't change the fact that you have Paul in that ignorant block. Seriously, please explain to me how the context of your statement changes what you said about Ron Paul??? You are seriously looking dumber by the second on this thread!!! |

OldSchool, since you didn't like my analogy of a super-tanker hitting a WW2 min, maybe you will like Warren Buffet's better: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/081002/buffett_economy.html Buffett compared the U.S. economy to a top athlete who has suffered a sudden and severe heart attack. He said the proper response to such a heart attack is to use a defibrillator as soon as possible, not argue about the precise placement of the paddles or argue about whether the athlete should have taken blood pressure medication beforehand. With all due modesty, I have to say my analogy is a little more fitting than Warren's. |

Uhh, you do realize Warren Buffet has much to gain financially from a bailout, don't you? Anyway, his analogy is pure shite as well. First of all, for the athlete to properly represent the current state of our economy, he'd have to be way out of shape and live on a diet of cheeseburgers, donuts, and pop. With this in mind, a "sudden" heart attack should not be a shock to anyone (as indeed it wasn't to the trainers who told him to alter his ways, i.e. the Austrian economists that have been warning of this day for years). One must also assume that there is no defibrillator at hand (as there is no magical cure to be found by way of government), so in a last ditch effort, spectators resort to stabbing him in the chest with a dull instrument. Their reasoning? "We couldn't just do nothing!" It is later found, during the autopsy, that had the mob of spectators not impaled the man, he would have lived and made a recovery. Whether he would have given up his bad eating habits and wised up on staying healthy (free up the markets) or whether he would continue his prior ways (rampant state sponsored economic intervention) would remain to be seen. How'd I do? |
