Well, you can thank a for-profit health insurance industry and illegal aliens for the decline of US hospitals.

And you can thank Republicans for the rise of poverty and centralization of wealth.

So, if you want to fix things, start voting for liberal progressive candidates in every election. what the hell?... thank Republicans for the rise in poverty?...elect Liberals to fix poverty?..... oh man :roll:

The hell? A modorator trolling and offering no contribution or opinion? ...oh man! :roll:

maybe you missed the presence of question marks.... due to the fact my post was directed towards you... those questions would be directed to you....



You know, what I think I missed was a human being with a fourth grade reading level, who is capable of performing such tasks as writing a sentence in the form of a question, and using punctuation and capitalization.

Maybe if a person like that came along I wouldn't have missed anything.

those questions would be directed to you.... if you choose not to address them.. i can understand that.. i would run like hell from those comments as well, as they are far from being well thought out , accurate statements.



You have yet to demonstrate that you are in tenure of any type of mental aptitude that would be necessary to challenge any statement that I have made.

If you make a challenge, I will refute you as effortlessly as I squash a cockroach, or anyone else who is at your level of reason. Until then, I deem that your comments lack any and all raison d'être.

I think if I were to make a post that stated that the Republicans are solely responsible for the rise in poverty and the centralization of wealth, I would be prepared to construct a reasoned arguement to support it. Since someone might ask me to explain it. That sounds like a reasonable request.

Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur.

We're waiting. You made a statement and Thrilla called you out on it. Feel free to show some mental aptitude and enlighten us instead of spitting out condescending accusations.

Whenever something weird happens-you notice how disproportionally often it occurs in so-called "Australia"?

Who was it that said the bigger the lie you make up, the more easier people will swallow it, or something like that.

They head spook writer even invented laughably unbelievable creatures to populate this so-called place-that one that has fur, webbed feet, a ducks bill, and lays eggs cracks me up-you guys actually swallowed that?

Have you ever actually been to this fictional place? Ha. I rest my case.

The platipus also has a venemous stinger near its rear end that also functions as an apendage. Its like the freak of all freak animals...

Oh look, another "America and its downfall", "America and the fall of rome" etc thread. Gee, I wonder what new stuff will be said in this thread out of the 3000 here in PCF.

America could be, not that the question matters to me, the best continent in the world. But it is certainly not the greatest country, it is not even among the greatest since America, as I state above, is not a country.

I don't know what kind of geography you studied.

Yes, and it is also so close to being an actual sentance too!

Still, though, you have yet to demonstrate that you are in tenure of any type of mental aptitude that would be necessary to challenge any statement that I have made.

If you make a challenge, I will refute you as effortlessly as I squash a cockroach, or anyone else who is at your level of reason. Until then, I deem that your comments lack any and all raison d'être.

Here is an example, "I disagree with statement X because of reasons, A, B and C."

Learn the rules of debate.

However, you have yet to take a position, make on clear, or communicate in complete sentences.

Perhaps first you should learn the rules of English.

Really, your continuous murder of the English language makes understanding you a convoluted task.

What is your excuse for this? I am a wrong to assume that you are a grown adult?

If so, then you have no excuse to have English skills that a ten year old could put to shame. The way that you communicate in this forum is equitant to walking down Time Square wearing a t-shirt that says, "My Penis is < 1 inch... erect."

You're actually proud of McDonald's and Coca-Cola? :shock:

The US is in decline at the moment like it was in the 1980s. However, that doesn't mean the US as a hegemon is finished. It just means that we are going to witness the rise of a multi-polar world with India, China, Russia, and the US constituting different poles of power in the world.

NO he's saying White People can go to schools without minorities.
This way, all the school funding can be directed to schools for full funding of educational programs that White kids can partake in, leaving the other schools filled with minorities and poor funding.

IMO :roll:

No he's saying that anyone can go to any school they want. Louisville doesn't want the "Seattle Policy" where the Feds and State government force diversity by telling you where you have to go to school. In some cases in the King County (Seattle) school district, some kids had to go to a school that was more than 20 miles away just for the sake of diversity.

It is a historical fact that people like to "hang" with their own culture goups. Blacks like to be around blacks, whites with whites and so on.....It's natural. Quota policies are an attmept to counter-act with that nature. They're not there because of descrimination...They're there because they want to be there.

Not sure if America was ever the greatest country in the world. Just because you have the most money and the most advanced army in the world does not mean you have some kind of social superiority over another country.

Best economy sure, not best living conditions, and I don't know who you are foolling but the US is not internationally respected, they are feared, not respected.
