Kasz can argue about 100x more effectively than Mafoo.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

I'm sorry Mafoo, i understand your points, but I'm pretty tired of your rhetoric. The only reason why you'd say something so strong or in such a belittling way is because you want to bait people into arguing with you.

Kasz216 seems to be a conservative as well, but minus all the angry rhetoric so I'm more likely to read and accept what he says.

Conservative?  Not really.  I'm for Universal Healthcare for preventative and non elective healthcare.  Think the US should have Universal Foodbanks where anybody can walk in and get food and should strive for universal housing. 

I just think a lot of stuff the government does now is wasteful... and get angry when people suggest that people who are against the government taking over things that they are inefficient in argueing are all billionairs trying to keep the man down when the reverse is actually the case.

Even more so because those who say so are often the people who actually give the least and either care the least or like to cast their opponents at caring the least because it makes them feel better about their own stingy ways.

The people who believe in the government doing more and actually do give act a lot differently.

And this kids is why I respect Kasz's opinions on politics. He's not about one side's ideologies or the others, he's about getting good shit done. I'd give him a hug, but his avatar scares me.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

I've never actually figured out what Kasz's avatar is supposed to be, or what it is supposed to mean. And I have definitely thought about it before.

Its either a big black guy about to rape a kid or he is bringing him a toaster with some fresh toast and the kid is freaking the fuck out.

How many people want a world wide economic collapse over a more socialistic america? A surprising amount. Fuck the world, we aren't having any goverment owned banks. Who do you think we are?!?! THE FUCKING SWEDES? Not in my country.

And whoever said that right and wrong are forever and shouldn't change, go read the old testament and tell me how much of that you would want to retain in today's modern age. Right and wrong are circumstantial. No Holy man (founding fathers included) have 100% timeless advice that should be adhered to at all times. They are products of the time they live in. Following the philosophies of one man or group of men no matter what is just idealism, which is a horrific way to lead.

 

im a tad confused, are you pro or anti Obama?


I don't think he's either.

But yeah... Sweden definitly isn't doing any better either.

Really there is no way to lower risk when it comes to this kind of stuff since the regulations will always play with the politicians people will ALWAYS notice a mild recession.

The US people do anyway... and everytime there was a hint of one greenspan would screw with it so we had a few more years of borrowed prosperity.

The international community actually used the financial crisis to it's advantage to get Sweeden to open up it's account info some more.  Since if they didn't they were going to blacklist the country which would lose it some investments... and sweden is desperate to keep investors.

 

I think you're mistaking Sweden for Switzerland.

my best guess is that its Thanos from the Marvel Comicbook universe. And I believe he is about to rape a kid



That really does look like a toaster in his hand with fresh toast coming out of it though.

on second thought, I'm reading the little dialogue bubble and thanos is definitely saying "GIVE ME TOAST, YOU BRAT" right before he moves in on the boy



It kinda looks like "Give me that" to me. Also, I think it his left hand on top of that box, not toast.
