If that's the case... then even assuming they don't go bankrupt with a bailout, the industries are no longer contributing to society, since society is buying other shit.  That means all those little industries that depended on Chrysler and GM don't depend on them anymore.

61 day later:

Arocalex: Hey, Summer!
SummerSexual: Do I know you?

Actually... um... leaving this for the new guy is EXACTLY what you are supposed to do.

Let's use an example:

Pretend that, on January 17, 2009, Bush ordered the US to invade Iran.  Four days into it, there's been significant progress, but the job isn't done.

Then Obama comes into office.  "Shit, shit, what do I do?"  Now he's gotta figure out how to reverse or redirect a sudden shift in policy which he had no preparation in organizing.  Essentially, he would be winging it.

That's exactly the problem here: Bush dealing with the issue would mean that Obama would have to either fight Bush or silently accept his policies.

zarf, its the other way around. Here you can disagree with any policy to a certain extend. Ok, I know you were joking right.

Never said the US was a dictatorship.  My argument was very simple: When the issue is one of whether or not certain individuals should obtain an increase in wealth given directly from the government, whether through direct funding or through favorable legislation, without requesting a change in that individual's actions, you should take it with a grain of salt when someone calls the process that caused it "democracy."  That same system is the one voters complain about when legislators vote to give themselves pay raises.  In cases like this, the system would be better called "tyranny by majority." 

Doubt it.  The car would probably end up having a wine cabinet where normal cars had engines.

Wait, they made a sequal to Starship Troopers?  Huh?

Why the hell would you keep all your money in a vault anyway?  With no way that money is making a return on investment, the only market influence then becomes inflation, slowly eating away at its value.

What the hell are you doing awake at this hour, Flint?

What I laugh at is that people really think the guy RUNNING the department of health and human services would openly admit that swine flu was created in a laboratory.  That would be the most retarded shadow government conspiracy ever.

"Okay, we're ensuring the media spin goes our way... we've got the drugs ready to go... anything else?"
"Did you guys remind the guy who made the virus that he needs to keep this a secret?"
"Oh, shit!"

That third video is kind of like this:

Sounds bad, right?  Oh, wait... it's called context!

I agree with Acolyte.  There must be a cute girl where you live who you could take to dinner and a movie.

And xeno... sorry, but I'm going to decline on that one.  I was going to start transcribing it for you, but it just got to be a pain in the ass, and frankly, probably utter garbage.

However, I will transcribe the second link for you, only because it's pretty easy: It's simply a black screen, with the following words popping up.

I have done some slight editting, only to correct the spelling and grammar issues in this.

We have established that the swine flu is man made.  Please see my 4 part video on my channel.  Some of you alraedy know this, but for those that don't, the drug which everyone will be rushing to get, even though it will have no effect whatsoever is called Tamiflu, also known as Oseltamivir.

I will add all the necessary links in the info for you to check.
DO NOT TAKE Tamiflu.

Authorities urge caution over Tamiflu fears.

Dated The World Today-Tuesday, 21 April, 2009
Reporter: Oscar McLaren
For now, though, the only country which sees Tamiflu prescribed on a regular basis for the flu is Japan, where there have been reports of children going so far as trying to jump from balconies after taking the drug over there.

Please see the link in info.

TAMIFLU CAUSES
NEUROPSYCHIATRIC
EVENTS IN THE BRAIN

Let's look at who owns major shares in Tamiflu.

Donald Rumsfeld
http://money.cnn.com/2005/10/31/news/newsmakers/fortune_rumsfeld

Bilderberg member George Shultz

In fact, the federal government is emerging as one of the world's biggest customers for Tamiflu.

Are any warning bells ringing yet?

Your illness=their profit

The world we live in today has been designed to create illness and war.

Because it makes evil sociopaths

Money

Please wake up

My response to this would be a few things:

A: How do they know Tamiflu is the prescribed medication against swine flu right now?  Most people have been taking orange juice and sleep to treat it.  I bet that's another plot by the government: the government is poisoning our oranges and planning on nuking our imaginations, right?

B: The Rumsfeld citation is terrible.
A: It's from 2005.  Shit changes between now and then with regard to stocks.  Until proponents of this theory bring a more up to date piece of evidence, it should be regarded as crap.
B: That was talking about Avian flu, not Swine flu.  That's like saying that a medication will work for the common cold, so we'll use it to treat AIDS.
C: The article itself says soldiers were going to be given Tamiflu.  That means, one way or another, this theory is empirically denied.  Either:
A: The soldiers were given Tamiflu, and since there haven't been reported cases of complications from Tamiflu in US soldiers since then, the medication is safe, or:
B: The soldiers were not given Tamiflu, which means even when Rumsfeld had the opportunity to profit from his position as Secretary of Defense, he didn't take it, so there's no reason the same drug that was rejected earlier would suddenly be propped up to fight Swine flu unless it was shown that Tamiflu was uniquely effective against Swine flu.
D: Read the article.  It cites a number of ways that Rumsfeld backed off of his connections with the drug company.  Let me make this clear.  HE WAS NOT THE DECISIONMAKER HERE.
