It's not difficult. just type quote sorrounded by [ and ] at the start and /quote surrounded by [ and ] at the end. It really keeps the conversation clearer.
Quote:I dont respond with anything insulting or name calling etc etc unless I was first called names by the person I am calling names in that thread. However since I am older than 8 I cant use that as a cover ... so sorry for calling you names or derogatory remarks to you the person.
Very much appreciated!!!

and you were doing soo well and then this.
Quote:Example - chinese workers are not unionised, they are oppressed and exploited and the "Union" is an arm of their well connected employer. And Vers - I didn't say they were unionised. I said they are leaving the factories and they will eventually become unionised. Dane said they are unionised cos they are communist.

Quote:I own a ford and have since 1998. Bought a 97 in 98 lightly used. I also own a chrysler and have owned that since 2008. That guy was a 93 and was quite well used.
I own a good bit of chinese junk. However if I have used and broken something more than 1-2 times causing me greivous pain - like a tap breaking off in a cyl head - that will be replaced by american. I got all craftsman tools with the heavy use ones the m10, m8, 5 and 6 allen and a few crescent wrenches - all snap on. Not even new snap on, old snap on. 30-40 yr old snap on, those suckers weigh 2X the 20 yr old craftsman.
Nice.
Quote:Republicons want to give tax breaks to the wealthy under the guise of "job creators" ... when companies that actually create jobs - the GEs, the GMs, the B of As, the Googles pay nothing in taxes. They use a double dutch with irish techinque and pay nothing already. In effect GE got a refund ... after paying 0 taxes... So giving tax breaks to the wealthy is just free $$$ for the Blankfeins, the Moynihans, the Dimons ... all coming out of my pocket ... They dont create jobs - unless you're wanting all of us to be their gardener, maid and cook. The corporations they work for create jobs - but those are @ 0 or less already.
Funny how those companies you listed are heavy democrat donors, it's almost as if those companies gave money to democrats in return for financial kickbacks, but that can't be proven since everything but the donor records is a backroom deal. So much for the most transparent government ever.
Besides, it is small business that is the engine of job creation. Tax breaks for the wealthy is such a nonsensical statement, no one get a tax break for being wealthy. Legal entities receive tax breaks for engaging in the activity the government WANTS them to engage in.
Quote:Our economy was stalled till 6 months ago cos the republicons were saying "NO" to everything. They did not want the economy to improve before the election since that would look better for Obama. I thought I mentioned that in the post too.
So, it looks like you are saying that by saying "NO" to everything and the economy is recovering that Republicans pulled us out of the recession. Maybe you and I can agree on something afterall.
Quote:You have more of these hollow arguments put in nice quotes in your post. I guess you rely on making things look pretty cos you dont have any real points. Real points - not fake points.
If they are fake or hollow then why are you having soo much trouble refuting them? I seem to be doing pretty well rebutting your statements without blanket judgements. These posts are free and you aren't charged by the word so you should have ample opportunity to walk the talk.
Anyone can say "your points are fake" and then walk away but in the world of informed debate the points stand until shown to be false. I'm not sure I have seen such a situation yet.
