At Home

Czech:

I'm totally content with that.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/opinion/15rich.html?_r=1 Frank Rich takes an interesting stab on the reality of Obama's presidency.

I would seriously hate to be a perpetually menstruating transgender conservative racist too. Come on Bob, let's beef. I got 30-60 minutes to kill. *******

I'm going to fucking kill myself.

Yep

Well, like I've said all along, Obama approached this issue as a bipartisan one instead of a fix the economy one. Also, his team has very good relations with the Senate, and I don't think they wanted to burn their bridge that quickly.

Well Marvin, those people are the people that your party unleashed. I'm really not surprised.

I would seriously hate to live your life, bob. I couldn't imagine anyone who would live more by the books.

Considering that it was one instance, probably not even legit, and was deleted pretty damn fast, the answer is yes.

No, he came into NHB to call people out and start shit. That's it.

The problem is that he was already told to tone it down. Him being told to tone it down is why we have this. The right words aren't "tone it down" at this point, it's "turn it off or peace out." Yes.

That's the whole point though. He was given the opportunity to tone it down, Agent told him to cut the shit out, and he didn't. You even experienced it first hand, the guy exists just to call people out without provocation.

Fine with me!

Mentally ill? That's the one. Mentally ill. I should be checked in somewhere. Isn't it delightfully ironic that you're screaming THIS IS NO HOLDS BARRED GOD DAMNIT ANYTHING GOES YOU ELITIST FUCKS ARE RUINING EHME then can't even see that it was a joke? Right.

CAPS MAKE YOU SERIOUS

That was some of the worst. I'm in favor of his complete banning not due to the fact that he's a terrible person, but consider the evidence: his last 6 threads. "Hey everybody... Got beef? Come to the chat!" "HEY CANADIANGUITARIST, YOUZA STRAIGHT BITCH" "Fuck you.../Buy me a beer..." "Detox.../Remember when you was roccin a Patrick Ewing flattop, bacc when while I was pounding your sister in the ass while she was wearing a Dale Hawerchuk, Winnipeg Jets jersey. You're momma use to laugh at your FUCCED UP haircut game and said you look like "Haley Joel Osment and shit with a J. Jonah Jameson haircut and a fucced up facial hair game"... Mothafucka you was duccin the clothes hangers like Pernell Whitaker be duccin punches from Amuzah Nelson. YADDA YADDA~!!!!" "It's noon, and I'm already drunk! Woooooo!" "Hey Warriorfan! Fuck you buddy!" That's only the last five. Let's go on. "EHME's Hall of Fame/Only real niggas allowed." "Byron, you're a fucking douche" "Hey Ripper, fuck you buddy!" "I'm high" So that's that. EHME floods the forum with complete shit, which is a bannable offense. Agent had to put him in line once before for doing the exact same bullshit he pulled over the last few months, and he apparently didn't learn his lesson. He got banned for this, and that's how it should be. He made NHB ten times worse. The only weapon he had in his arsenal was to call people out, start threads about calling people out, and talk about his weekend with his bros. Let's not forget the trainwreck of his fatherhood either. Now, bad posting shouldn't be the crux of his termination, the fact that it was 24/7 with it should be. Too much. Too much, twice. It wasn't a schtick, it was him being him. Too much, too much. A note about the CP: I specifically asked a mod before I posted it. I specifically asked it if was something I could risk membership over, and the answer was no, but I offered to take a temporary ban, and this was decided to be not necessary. There's a reason it was in NHB, and it's because you can't search it on google, and it's only available to members. Imageshack pulled almost all of the images anyways, and I understand that it wasn't anything that never happened before either. The second instance was a shop job.

It was a shop.

I'd hate to be a sore loser if he does get reinstated, but this is something that I can agree to. He doesn't post in the music or current events section, so I can avoid him as much as possible.

A rose by any other name would stank just as sweet.

Narc? How's 6th grade?

The deadline was pushed back, but I'm pretty sure that stations can just go ahead and do it anyways. Some stations could've done it a year ago if they wanted to. I don't agree with this. If you're telling me he was built up to be the Second Coming, then he's also going to have a lot of followers who will stick through this with him. I think a lot of people understand that this was a large part of the Bush years, and I certainly hope that bitter taste isn't just going to go away. I don't think anyone is trying to compare this to the Great Depression, this is more of a "worst thing since the Great Depression" thing, which is 100% true. Obama's plan isn't going to do nothing, but it's not going to do what it could've done. Remember that Obama won by almost a 2:1 ratio. I'm thinking that people are going to stick with him.

Clinton free trade has nothing to do with it. The US version of free trade probably helped the trade deficit because it's so horribly lopsided. Bush free trade has nothing to do with it, either. What has to do with it is the burst of the housing bubble, a runaway financial industry, and $10.5 trillion dollars in mortgage debt. It's not unlikely that it will take less than four years for any sort of package to begin to work. The United States works with very powerful anti-cyclical agents. I understand and trumpet the fact that this is not like any other recession since the GD, but if the majority of the money is on route to be spent by 2010, then that's at least a good sign. Injecting money to where it needs it most as quickly as we can will be the best thing to do, and something to get jobs back on track. Keynes also gives us another explanation of why recessions could go on for a very long time: an absence of an effective monetary and fiscal policy. Sort of. Obama had always announced a plan for $800 billion, and that's what it turned out to be. He should've asked for more. That's not true. They still needed those 3 votes to reach the 60 required to pass the package. It's not like they were trying to get those 3 republican votes for fun.
