OT: Mark My Words

U.S. residents aren't really aware of the world outside their borders. For a long time you have been able to get away with this, but the rest of the world is steadily catching up - now that you owe us 2601.8 billion dollars (including 500-odd billion each to China and Japan) you should start wondering what might happen if we lowered the boom.

The rest of world is much more interested in what goes on within the United States - for one thing, if you elect another economically ignorant Republican, our chances of eventually getting our money back will be seriously diminished, and if he were as war-like and diplomatically inept as his predecessor we would have even more problems with justifiably peevish Arabs.

Consequently the rest of the world has every reason to prefer Barak Obama to John McCain, and if you knew what was good for you - Jim clearly doesn't - you should too,

and I can't see any good reason for not telling you so.

You don't know of what US residents are and are not aware. OTOH some of us are aware you are an egotistical jerk.

Gee...... Thanks for your concern. I'm sure in your imagination, that nobody other than yourself are aware of foreign investment in the US and balance of trade issues. You're an egotistical jerk.

If you really are worried, do something about it within your own government. Your useless drivel here doesn't improve anything and it irritates the natives.

Prefer who you will, just don't think you need to issue a new blog about it every time you have a new jerkoff thought.

I can. You're a useless boor on a couple counts.

  1. You snipe constantly, which is counterproductive.
  2. You would rather sit at your computer and do NOTHING productive, than to get off your butt and work at something productive, as noted above.

Well, one thing the group does know is that you haven't changed. You are still McRetarded.

You should start wondering what would happen if you tried.

Of course they prefer Obama. They want us to have a weak leader who doesn't do anything. Then we would be like Europe, and the rest of the wqorld.

Better a weak leader who doesn't do anything stupid than the twit you've had for the last eight disasterous years - Aesops frogs rightly preferred King Log to King Stork. And you could do with being a bit more like Europe - we spend only 8% of our GNP on health care and get better outcomes for the population as a whole than you get even though you spend 14% of your GNP on health care.

Not that Obama actually look as if he'd be a weak leader - quite the reverse. His track record so far is impressive

And do you really want John McCain exercising his enthusiasm for high- stakes gambling in the White House?

StickThatInYourPipeAndSmokeIt has assessed my intelligence and finds that it doesn't meet his stringent standards, What a pity. He might be using the same kind of crap test that told Eeyore that he had a genius- level IQ, but the odds are that he is just following Jim Thompson's example in claiming that anybody who disagrees with him has to be stupid, where a more objective observer would say "well-informed".

UltimatePatriot would like to think so, but isn't equipped to make any kind of persuasive case to support this proposition - or anything else that he's posted.

I see your comments here and I've read your newspapers - you really don't know much about the world outside your borders. If you did know a bit more you might appreciate how much better other countries run things like health care, market regulation, defence procurement and electing a representative government.

You seem to think that only an egotistical jerk would point this out, presumably because you think that the USA is perfect in every respect (which seems to be taught at every American primary school) and nobody should be so bumptious as to disagree.

This is merely parochial complacence - get out and learn something. Here's a place to start

Well, that was a useless self-serving load of nothing.

Do I need to define egotistical for you? If not, just look it up and note how well it fits you.

Do you really think that the dopes that write some of our newspapers are representative of "US Residents" thinking or experience in any way, shape or form? They are not, and you are stupid to think they are.

I presume that you'd like to think that I've got "an exaggerated sense of self-importance : conceit".

While I concede that I'm failing to treat your opinions with the respect you feel that they deserve, you should realise that dismissing an arguments as "a useless self-serving load of nothing" merely signifies that you can't come up with a persuasive counter-argument, which means that you can't defend your own opinions and haven't earned a scintilla of respect.

I reacting to your post at all I'm demonstrating an unhealthy lack of self-respect - showing that I'm not as egotistical as I ought to be.

Only a mindless twit could fail to appreciate intellectual content of that article from the Daily Reckoning.

It isn't a particularly persuase argument, but it could only look mindless to someone who didn't have any kind of clue about the issues involved..

The fact that UltimatePondScum can't follow my arguments and consequently doesn't find them persuasive is unfortunate, but it isn't practical to post stuff that is simple enough to be comprehensible to the seriously intellectually challenged. while keeping the arguments concise enough to be readable.

Since the primary evidence newspaper provide about your national knowledge and interest is that they don't write much about the world ouside the borders of the USA and bury what they do write deep within the paper (rather than headlining it on the front pages) your reasoning is - as ever - defective.

European and Australian papers regularly headline foreign news. If a US newspaper has ever done it, it wasn't when I was there to read it. Newspaper are good at picking out news items that will interest their readers - they go bust in short order if they get it wrong - so they don't have to be representative of "US residents" to give a very clear picture of the interests of literate America.

Yup - he's as much a blinkered right-winger as you are a blinkered warmingist.

Sometimes, the two of you are virtually indistinguishable. You both are certainly suffering the same degree of brain-lock (i.e., complete.)
