Mr. Peterffy still with his ridiculous analysis on his commercials on tv and CNBC...I bet if President Obama wins re-election....IB and Peterffy will still be there 4 years forward...and we will not look like a Eastern European country in the 1930's!!!!
The "transformation" to the point that everybody acknowledges takes time... and by then, it's too late.. either accept it or wage bloody revolution. Peterffy, and many others (though apparently not you), see it forming... it needs to be stopped NOW... before it gets too far.
There will be NO "transformation" as this is not what America is, wants to be or stands for......What MAY happen is "adaptation" to the socio/economic issues in America and the world, which some capitalist countries are or have already adopted! Do not confuse "transformation" with "adaptation"!
I don't. Remember Odumbo's promise about "fundamentally TRANSFORMING America"? Not a slip of the tongue. In any event, I'm hearing no more from you. ON IGNORE!
EVERYONE...I DO NOT BLOCK ANYONE...UNLESS HARRASMENT....EVEYONE HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR OPINION....AND AS AN EDUCATED HUMAN BEING I LIKE TO LISTEN AND LEARN FROM OTHERS!.....(This is NOT Facebook!!) In case "Scataphagos" gets to read this....I apologize but I still don't know what you mean by "Odumbo"....please re-read my explanation on basic respect and manners....even as difficult as they may be for you to comprehend. Look forward to hear from you
i what is your criteria to judge someone as being educated. based upon your writing you do not seem to be highly educated. in the future do not capitalize entire sentences and paragraphs. it is a breach of etiquette on chat boards, known otherwise as screaming. "even as difficult as they may be for you to comprehend." your remark is kind of childish, sinking to schoolyard conversation i.e. personal insults, when is quite obvious that scataphagos is at a level of achievement that you can only begin to dream of.
Ah...YES, look who's back. True, none of my courses in either one of my two graduate degrees taught me about "capitalizing on boards is equated to SCREAMING"; the failure of our education system!!! You were lucky to attend a prestigious school that taught that!!! I made an assumption, I did not accuse anyone of not being educated. PLEASE (yelling, but more like begging), carefully review what I wrote = "even as difficult as they may be for you to comprehend"....as you, yourself quoted....hence the use of the word/s "may be"...is an assumption. I am glad for everyone's extreme success here...but not sure how you know what mine may or may not be...if any (of course)!!! Stay warm!
The real topic is, "The Slippery Slope" If we allow mothers to have an abortion, what's next? Will they start killing their kids if they misbehave? If we give people money just for being 65 years old, what's next? Will we also start giving them food, clothing and shelter? If we start taxing the rich at 39%, what's next? Will we just keep raising taxes until it's 100%? It's a slippery slope out there I tell ya. Your idea may make sense at the moment, but what's next?
Did we not have tax rates as high as 70% or more in the 60's/70's?... Just because they were high it did not make them go higher. I won't comment on abortion....but really look around you, and I mean the WORLD (if someone has sensitive ears please cover)...progression...so the government or religion will tell a woman what to do with their bodies? As for your comment on benefits for seniors....I guess your opinion is to those who don't have the means to retire with basic needs...we, as a country and as a society should just let them die or discard of them....similar to the "47%" comment from one of our 'leaders'! Not sure I agree sir. Sorry.
