you know the economy sucks when...

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

no i work for raymond james financial... the stock place, we just own the stadium.

You sort of own the stadium. You pay to have your name put on it and then the Bucs and the NFL take nearly all proceeds generated during games and events.

But don't feel bad, us taxpayers sort of own the stadium too. We paid to build it.

But how many from 9/11 were from Iraq? listen we invaded Afganistan to get the people that attacked us, whats happening over there? enduring freedom has taken a backseat to iraqi freedom, that is were the terrorists that attacked us are from. And Im not saying we dont need it because I was there, I just think that you need to ask your teacher about whats going on. Do they not teach current events in High school anymore?

So you actually believe that if we stopped fighting and brought everyone home that would make up safer? We've been stopping attacks and plots ever since 9/11 but the terrorists keep trying so why would they stop now?

Oh and good one about the high school comment, you're real fuckin tough. Age has nothing to do with how smart you are....or aren't.

bush sucks and that's all there is to it. did the counrty go to shit on his watch? he put a bunch of his buddys in charge and they fucked up shit too. the falling dollar is the main reason the gas is so high and the economy sucks. big business have complaned for 30 years that the dollar was over inflated. that they couldn't compete overseas. well, the dollar took a shit, why do you think it did?

so the economy sucks bc big business cant compete over seas?

how about big business, staying in country and hiring AMERICAN works instead of out sourcing to get cheap labor....

or maybe the economy sucks bc we are in a war.....

idk, that just makes sense to me, maybe I just dont know what I am talking about tho.

Your exacty right, one person being in office singlehandedly caused all of this madness.

I'm not trying to be tough. I am just saying that it is cute that you have your own views, once you get into the real world your views will probrably change. They might not, but hey its worth a shot. I know you are probrably doing this as practice for the debate team but you dont have to get offended. I do believe with all of my heart that if we withdrew all the troops from Iraq it will not put us at risk. We should leave the troops in Afganistan though. We have not been attacked on our own soil by an Iraqi to this day, and I will say this and you can quote me on this: The ones that are attacking our troops are doing so because we are in their country. If some other country invaded my country you better believe that I will be attacking them, not only that but my daughters will be armed also. All I am trying to say is that Iraq did nothing to us, Japan attacked us and we nuked them, we didnt invade Korea because of Pearl Harbor did we? I do believe Enduring Freedom is a great cause, Iraqi freedom not so much. Hate me for my views, and I will hug you for yours. If you dont see my point maybe I can send you my number and we can discuss this in a civil manner, because I am tired of typing.

One last comment, The people that we are catching plotting attacks on us are not in Iraq they are in Afganistan, England, Africa, and our own country.

[miasma]

No, I do see your point, and I'm glad that you DID type all that out because at least I know a little bit better where you're coming from. On the other hand 9/11 wasn't the first attempt on the WTC soooo if we weren't in their country then why would they be so hostile, maybe because it's their religion? Have you even looked into the Koran or any of that shit? It says some crazy shit and I'm sure everyone knows religion is enough to kill over to some people and they are willing to take it that far. That's exactly why they have suicide bombers, because they believe they will be rewarded for their actions in the afterlife. That's why I don't think leaving them alone is good for anyone. I know this is a little off thread topic but w/e.

yup, i just didnt feel like typing that out... we pay all that damn money for it to be called raymond james stadium instead of us (workers) getting paid better.

Not sure if you all are aware or even care, but I know the value of a penny is important to us all now, BUT if you go to walmart and get a giftcard with whatever amount on it then use the gift card at the pump it saves you 3cents a gallon

Congress is held mainly by democrats.

/thread

[.Seth.]

^ is that the reason you probably dont have a job too? and why your girlfriend left you? oh and how about when you dog died last year? are the democrats to blame for that too??

[EnsenCorp]

??

I've had the same job for 5 years, the same girlfriend for over a year, and no dogs.

I'm sorry that you have sand in your vagina, but I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here and say you're probably a democrat.

[.Seth.]

^I'm not with any political party, I support anyone that I think will better our country, and generalizing someone into a group is retarded.

^Good man, 1 internets for you!
