- 'To what bias and ideology are you referring'?

I am referring to my bias against bankers - I absolutely despise them -so i have to work very very hard not to blame them 100 percent in any economical crisis - and from our previous exchange i remembered - that calling a democracy like America a police state is more of an ideological statement than reality (as the common definitions of a 'police state' made clear) - and i never was interested very much in what German bankers had to say -

I just felt like telling you about my 'feelings' and the reaction of EUROPE to the American confusion - and if you wish lets discard them - as much as your comparison to some Japanese banker and the Japanese crisis - Because i am (as you) are mainly interested in the problem from the perspective of an American taxpayer - and as i have told you each time - i'm a know-nothing about economics (some eco-dudetts and dudes are probably laughing their a... off about our amateurish exchange) - But i still feel that the birth of the so called bailoutplan was first and for all a reaction to a psychological problem (and you are for sure familiar with Obamas 'put out the fire' and probably with all the statement of the so called experts, who agreed about the 'Psychological problem' - even they couldn't agree on a plan) - And i agree - as taxpayer, you should have the right to evaluate a proposal - AND not call up one day with the message: 'Kill the greedy bastards' and when you start realizing that you are one of them and they are killing YOU - call back the next day with 'please, please save my money -

And i guess -

Here we are again - back to where we started from:

With a bunch of grown-ups who took the fairy tale of the little boy who cried wolf too seriously (you might compare Bush fear mongering to the warnings about a economical crisis - but then - you can't complain ending up in the Never-Never land of bias and ideological discussions) - which a lot of reasonable people don'y enjoy anymore - they just want the system to work - and if you say 'the criminals on Wall Street' and sombody else -'the criminals on Maine Street' or 'white flag' or 'patriotism' ore 'label pin' or 'ruling class' or 'police state' - they smell a rat (a partisan idiot) and they don't trust partisan idiots anymore (you know the GOP overdid it)- and this might be at the heart of the whole problem - If even the so called experts in a economical crisis have to prove that they are not 'bias' or fans of the enemies ideology before they go to work- you accomplish nothing!

and i just don't understand -

this 'obsession' about the 'obsession' with the hairdo lady -If you really worried that much about her put her 'wink' on every gay and lesbian magazine in the country -

That would be reeally funny (got it - Sarah winking to her friends) and you could write a lot of love letters (from me - 90-60-90 - and cute and blond and blue eyed) - and perhaps she would get a divorce and propse - and that would be reeally funny and would take care of your worries right away (got it?)

hey -

eating lots of sand in an egyptian desert made my daughter starve for such delicious news

and as she had 'dessert' by the Waldorf room service once before she would have loved to join Michelle - but now I have to tell her next time she calls - and Alex was sarcastic too?

What a letdown!

lobster has a lot to do with cooking somebody until he (or it) turns red and as Mary Antoinette

so famously stated: If they are hungry (the poor) - let them eat lobster!

debpet -

I like to inform you that lobsters from Red Lobster suck - especially the foreign and imported ones which 'Patriots' should reject (I guess its okay to cook the 'Canooks')

- never thought to meet somebody on this thread with such refined tastebuds -

Where have you been all this time?

How many stars (Michelin) and how many foks (Gault Milleau) would you give Cook Koppelmann for his tasting menu?

hey sinnard -

the punchline

If Arabs, Blacks, Asians, etc. are mad at idiots today, it seems only natural and they even don't have to be white!

Thursday, October 23, 2008 01:03 PM

and if you didn't get the punchline again -

you might be the idiot!

oh sinner -

as such a proud member of the 'stereotypical stronger race' you should be much more 'tolerant forgiving' and not being such an obvious idiot!
