Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

tAmazing, you are the biggest dumbass on these boards. You have no clue what you're talking about. You've taken bits and pieces from various things you've read on the internet and used them to stitch together a totally incoherent and contradictory set of beliefs. I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes: "It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance." - Murray Rothbard

I'm glad you are not as diplomatic as I am.

Doctor Ron Paul has been the man for the past 20 years......


A man gives his testimony, which is ALL legit, and vows that he and others know mathematical formulas that can be used to get us out of this hole (somewhat), screams that we need to do away with Banks and the FED...


Yet your biggest concern is his view on evolution and his RELIGION?

No wonder we elect dumbasses in office, your guys morals are in the WRONG place, still. We'll learn... hopefully before it's TOO late but it's getting very close to that time.

Vote Democrat.... they've done GREAT these past 4 years........ *Shaking my fucking head*






Since when did the United States become an atheistic country? We can't call Christmas Tree's, Christmas Tree's anymore because that's "politically incorrect". We can't pray in school because it's politically incorrect. "We" don't want God's people in our school systems or political systems, yet wonder why they fail?

Idiots.

Oh good, the "War on Christmas" reasoning.

Yea, Christians are the ones who are persecuted in this country.
Hey Chops, I agree that Christians aren't "persecuted" in this country, but you have to agree that at times, we take extreme measures to "protect" our citizens from religion, which would typically affect Christians more than others, simply because there are considerably more Christians in the US than other religions. This is typically done in the name of "separation of Church & State", however I think that we take it way too far in many cases (against any religion, not just Christianity) to the point of barely even acknowledging that religion exists, even though it is clearly an important part of many of our citizens' lives.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

There definitely are times when things are taken too far. In education, I think we do a poor job of properly putting the beginnings of Christianity into their proper historical perspective.

tAmazing, I completely agree that Ron Paul has many good ideas. My posts were mainly to irritate Brum, and make the point that some people will decide on their candidate based on a single issue, such as their definition of abortion.

I also agree that much of this country's success can be attributed to Judea-Christian values, and the rush to eliminate God from everything could have bad consequences.

I disagree with this notion that Ron Paul's economic ideas can magically transform the wealth of our country. His disciples follow his teachings with a cult-like furvor, which I find troubling.

I don't see how, in an age of globalization, that isolationism is a valid tactic. it makes no sense.

While I'm flattered that you would specifically post for lil' ole' me, I have to say that I've never even slightly suggested that Paul's economic ideas would 'magically transform the wealth of our country'.

If I wanted to follow his teachings with a cult-like furor, I'd probably start by givinge him some cute little nickname like the Paulinator. :P

When you're pushing 80, it becomes more difficult to remain relevant.

You know what I mean. Paul and the Austrian Economists would like you to believe that the economy is like a closed system consisting of ideal gases and ideal pulleys. The system's behavior conforms to easily understood and modeled laws that only they truly understand, and if you listen to them, all of our economic problems are easily solved. Their followers who have drunken enough Koolaid (about 5-10% of the primary voters) will walk on glass for them.

Your analogy is completely ass backwards. Economists of the Austrian persuasion eschew models and the notion of "ideal gases and ideal pulleys" and believe an economy to be anything but a closed system. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to understand this because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about when it comes to the teachings of the Austrian School. It's one thing to disagree, but to so badly miss the point? Your analogy is tantamount to an atheist gleaning his moral beliefs from scripture.

Lars' statements is tantamount to arguing that atheists are incorrect because they glean their moral beliefs from scripture. It is absurd on its face. I'm not mad that he disagrees with Ron Paul and/or the teachings of the Austrian School, but at how badly he mischaracterizes their positions and beliefs.

I don't believe that globalization by force is a good thing, which is essentially what you are talking about when you support vast occupation.
