He found out somehow. There is no way to do it through this screen name, either. I don't think he bought it from this site. I think he purchased the $40 software that allows one to view IP addresses on these types of forums. That's fucked up, but I haven't seen him post much here lately, which is odd considering he was going to "hold it over my head".
right, it has nothing to do with you saying "my brain is rotten" and such crap out of the blue. I've not responded to any of your posts that weren't personal attacks in years, but two three times a month I can count on dealing with your bullshit. My calling you a troll has everything to do with you trolling and nothing to do with your views do you really think anyone isn't wise to your act? STOMP
What are you talking about? The "idiot" comment wasn't directed at STOMP. Unless he considers himself an idiot American. I don't.
I gotta agree. No need to make it seem like war, Sly, these guys are just going at it in a funny manner. S2 is about trash talk, that's also in the rules.
Of course I'm bitter. My country is taking a beating, and to add insult to injury, we lost our AAA credit rating... which they made clear was largely due to debt and deficits. Yet some people still can't wake up and realize that we are overspending, and want to keep the handouts coming. These polls that you are referring to are from the idiot Americans... half of which don't even pay federal income tax, while they scream for higher taxes on the rich and more spending. And we should listen to them about who is to blame for the "debt ceiling crisis" and the credit rating downgrade? Yeah, I'm bitter about that, and I think it is justified.
I've disagreed with you plenty of times also. I was just trying to tell people your comments seem insignificant and wouldn't bother me. At S2 you're allowed to like/dislike/hate whoever you want. You have not done anything wrong.
The rules state no personal insults. S2 members are free to insult me, they aren't allowed to insult each other. Some of the posts are starting to approach that. I know, it's a gray area but that's why I figured I'd throw out a couple of posts asking our wonderful members to tone it down just a bit.
are you bitter about super rich corporations that pay no tax too? you'd probably be best served if you focused your bitterness on those that were responsible for the mess. We ran up our debt mostly under the direction of President Bush and a Republican Congress as most "idiot" Americans agree. Our current Republican dominated legislative branch decided they'd rather try to make political points then pay the debts incurred for unnecessary wars and such and then dragged their heals so much that... well here we are. In the end Americans have their views and you probably have another, together we will assess the blame in the next election. here's another famous American's stated view... "Congress consistently brings the Government to the edge of default before facing its responsibility. This brinkmanship threatens the holders of government bonds and those who rely on Social Security and veterans benefits. Interest rates would skyrocket, instability would occur in financial markets, and the Federal deficit would soar. The United States has a special responsibility to itself and the world to meet its obligations. It means we have a well-earned reputation for reliability and credibility – two things that set us apart from much of the world." ~ Ronald Reagan STOMP
Go take a look at the spending and revenue numbers. The fact that you think some corporations paying too little in tax has a significant effect on the $1.6 TRILLION deficit shows that you have no idea what is really going on. Until then, the rest of your post is just head-in-the sand, pro-liberal, blindness. Like you, those idiot Americans have no clue as to what the revenue / spending issue really is. People like you think we're going to make a dent in this issue with tax increases, where even if we could increase tax revenue by 10% (a large increase) we would be nowhere near solving the problem. Clearly you didn't read the reports from S&P saying that the proposed cuts that were finally agreed upon on not nearly large enough. You say the "dragged their heals", but we still didn't get anywhere near large enough spending cuts because of the Dem controlled Senate and White House. Now here we are. Yep. And half of those Americans don't pay any federal income tax so they have no skin in the game. They'll continue to vote for whoever promises them more handouts.
