Looks like Boehner and Obama just reached a deal on the debt ceiling.

  1. How would you interpret what he wrote in response to my post?

    Pretty weak logic on your part.

    If I was talking to a friend and i said to him:

    "hey i just broke my leg, so I cant walk, but on the bright side, my girlfriend is doing all the cooking and cleaning, until i can walk again."

    Would that somehow mean that i was happy that i broke my leg?

    It would at least mean you have the brain power to philosophize (and possibly have a sense of humor). Which on this board, among those on the right, you are virtually alone.

    Proof that things could get worse.

    Only if ending 3 wars, welfare, pork, wasteful projects, federal agencies and balancing the budget is "worse". But then by your standards I guess that would be worse.

  8. Nice try. A better parallel to what you wrote earlier would be:

    "As a couch potato, I wouldn't mind being waited on hand and foot, which comes with breaking a leg."

    The difference is that in my example, the broken leg sounds pretty good to the speaker. It's a question of nuance. And wondering "how badly Boehner pussed out" for coming to an agreement with Obama, even before you knew any of the details of such an agreement, suggests that you're rather partial to that broken leg. And that's not quite so nuanced.

  9. Yes, let's leave it to a creationist apologist, whose upper body strength doesn't quite enable him to pick up a book and read it in its entirety, to solve all country's problems just by saying so. And then he'll walk on water, again just by saying so.

    I'll save him the trouble and interpret it for all.

    Gabby is a weak, spineless, chicken shit, self righteous, closet gay, bleeding heart, moon bat pussy.


    If you need any further elaboration, please, don't hesitate to ask.
