lmao "This is my voice, I hope you like it, and if you don't... just listen to someone's voice you like."

The new Zune has better software than the iPod (iTunes is getting bloated). It plays more formats including many more video file types. And it has a far bigger screen. I don't see why anyone would get an iPod at this point.

Of course, any arbitrary redistribution of capital by force is socialist. But to say that people who "use social security" are socialists is a bit misleading. Americans are forced to contribute to it because it's taken from their payroll taxes. If you don't pay in, then you could go to jail. And if you don't go to jail peacefully, they'll shoot you. We're just prisoners of the state.

I don't like popcorn unless it's covered in caramel.

Here's a hot German dude:

Right before the election? Interesting. Heh. You'd think they'd be a little less blatant about it, but I guess not.

Yeah, both major party candidates suck. But at least one isn't an unabashed socialist lunatic. The other is sort of semi-socialist.

It won't, I'd be shocked if oil dropped too much further. Eventually inflation will force it back up.

I'm not sure I understand that chickenscratch from a few posts up...

He does have the most experience being president, after all. ;)

I'll bring the chips and dip!

I know this feeling well. Why can't you be with her? I guess she's taken now.

BTW Nice voice, HorrificAttack. ;)

I actually like wheat bread and greens. Plus I'm blessed because I don't really have a sweet-tooth. ;) I drink more tea than cola. So I guess I eat healthier than most.

I've been told by many girls that I sound like Paul Walker. (But I'm probably not as handsome :P ) I don't have a mic with me but here's a vid of him talking: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik7ho81qJS4]YouTube - Paul Walker[/ame]

Well you're probably right, but I see increases in spending under McCain, too. Probably on the military/Pentagon budget. McCain even voted for that $700 billion bailout bill, just like Obama. So there's really very little substantive difference between the two. What's remarkable is when either party claims to have moral superiority. "We've got to give money to the unemployed/little old ladies/people with disabilities. That's moral." Well, no, it's not. Because if it were moral, you wouldn't need a gun and the power of the government to take our money. We would do it voluntarily. Then the Republicans freak out about terrorism like it's the end of the world. Terrorists have killed fewer people since 9/11 than have died in wars overseas. And don't get me started on the 50,000 people killed a year in car accidents! Terrorism is frankly a minor nuisance.

This is the key, and it's the reason both Republicans and Democrats simply can't be taken seriously. They both wave guns around, telling you what is right and wrong. Politics becomes like a team sport, and it's just a pointless swing between two evil parties. I'm actually looking forward to it. I want the state to fill itself to glut, and for the country to finally realize once and for all that socialism, whether it come from Republicans or Democrats, is an evil, terrible thing. Statists are the ones with the gun, not libertarians. I can't take anyone seriously who threatens to kill me.

Congress's approval rating is something like 13%, and we're getting ready to re-elect 95% of them. What's the definition of insanity again? Doing the same thing over and over, while expecting different results.

Well you can't keep kicking a can down the road forever. I'm fairly certain the next few years will see a huge shift in money away from the US and into foreign exchanges as a result of economic mismanagement by an Obama administration. But our markets have probably already priced this in. We won't see the other side of DOW 10,000 for another couple years probably. Taxes and higher inflation will kill this economy for a few more years at least.

I made a little over 700 dollars in the last few days by investing in a proshares ultrashort ETF on Scottrade. But otherwise not affected... yet. I'm sure my credit might mean I won't get the best deal when it comes time for me to buy a car or home.

On average this is probably accurate. The real question (for me anyway) is which country has the best looking guys? I think America comes close to the top on that, but I might be biased ;)

Print more money, dangit! Faster, faster!

Yeah you can, check this out: Americans - Fat and stupid, but workaholics. French - Lazy and thin, elitist. British - Bad teeth, obsessed with class, but slightly above average intelligence. Anyway, that was just for fun ;) But I have read accounts saying many American men travel to Europe to meet girls there and get married, since European women seem to be thinner and more interested in keeping traditional social roles. It might also just be a case of "the grass is greener" on the other side.
