No parents need to be more involved and you second question reiterated my point - under paid teachers due to underfunded budgets!!!!!
"increase in world wide consumption" - consumption hasn't changed; people have been driving SUV's for years; people have been moving further in to the country for years - talk about believing everything you hear; that is the excuse used. As I stated before it used to be a supply/demand state; now it is demand/supply. The supply will always be down to justify the costs.

You have it backwards - the housing crisis definitly has something to do with the weakend dollar. But it's not just those that couldn't afford it to begin with that are getting foreclosed on - hundreds of people who could afford it are now walking away from their mortgages cause they are upside down and owe hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the current market price of their home due to the artificial inflation in home prices - which was a direct reaction to the fed's cutting the interest rate. - So yes the gov't is ultimately responsible for this one. They got the praise on the way up, they deserve the reprecussions on the way down!!!!

Like I said, I know how to discipline my son and will not resort to physical contact.

Again, it is hard to say who is the sheep and who is the idiot from where we are both standing. You believe what you hear on Fox and I listen to CNN.

Just saw this post. You really are an idiot. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Blaming the housing crisis on the government, thats about as fabricated as it gets //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I know plenty of Muslims who are not terrorists. The known terrorists have been Muslim extremists.
This is saying that all white people are racist, just simply isn't true - all though most white people on this board are, I'll give you that much...

I never said he was a terrorist.

That's a far cry from not placing any blame on the man, so now you are saying he is partially responsible and should be held accountable for his actions.
Exxon has recorded the largest profit margins in US HISTORY over the past 3 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just summed up the point I was making. Both have to take responsibility for their actions. While we are all happy its firing time for the president, lets not forget about firing our Senators/Reps when their seat comes up if we don't agree with their policy stances or actions //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif


haha, nothing pwnd...you just made my point //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What was Exxon's profit margin last year? How does that compare to other companies...say google.

Except that you never admitted the administration held any responsibility for anything. I made you look foolish and then you tried to copy my tactics--everyone can see it--nice try tho.

Maybe re-read the posts below and try to decipher where I said the administration bore no responsibility.

You made no one look foolish but yourself, and your still trying //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Not saying that one man can't make a difference...just saying responsibility lies in more than just the head office.

...and not saying the President doesn't steer policy....but he doesn't bear sole responsibility to our current situations.

And I admit, Bush has made decisions I don't agree with, but so has congress, everybody needs to be held accountable for their actions. Alot of people just jump on the Bush bashing bandwagon without thinking there is more to the game than just him.

I was talking about prior to me pointing all that out.

Your point was that Bush didn't control gas prices, which i pointed out his policies had great impact on.

Then you tried to displace the blame and say he wasn't the only one making decisions, to which i responded that under our system of government policy is dictated from the top down. Remember the Hitler example?

Then you once again tried to ignore the 6 years of GOP control of congress and focus on the less than 2 years of effete leadership by the democrats.

Pretty much you when you realized i was completely correct you tried to pretend those were the points you had been trying to make.

Maybe people like fatryan are too stupid to see it, but at least some of us can see through it and see how i pwned you. They are the only ones i care about.

If you need more help understand how and why i won, please reread...multiple times if necessary.
