Have a nice day!

So, if not by investing in infrastructure how would you suggest we going around patching things like gakky section I-90 that shakes up my car every time I drop my girlfriend off at South Station? (just name a easy, trivial issue!).

Funny, I didn't read the word "Communist" in your quote. Didn't read the word "cue" either. However, I did read this:

I'm wondering where the admiration is sourced, perhaps you're interpreting?

Or are you just talking out your ass?

Sooo... because someone thinks something that is being done by a "communist" country might be a good idea, that makes them communist and therefore ineligible to be in any way shape or form involved with the American government?

I'd also like to point out that what you call the "left", most of the rest of the world calls "the centre right", if not "the right".

Did I say she is a communist? Anywhere in my post?

What I care about what the rest of the world thinks about the U.S. can fall into the Marianas Trench.

Cheers.

I'd suggest outsourcing the work to India. It would probably cost less, taking it out of the hands of U.S. politicians, and probably get done quicker.

So you're saying that you give ~6.5 miles of damn?

To be fair, that's a lot of damn to give.

That's why China's building a bigger one.

I see a future episode of modern marvels

Unless there's something in this thread I've missed no one's pointed out the obvious - America doesn't have the money to invest in infrastructure. No one does.

Palindrome wrote:So someone wants to invest in infrastructure? Clearly they are a monster.

infrastructure is for lefties.

True patriotic American buisnesses only use roads they built all by themselves.

We don't need no help from commie/socialist/hippie types...

Phanatik wrote:Did I say she is a communist? Anywhere in my post?

The implication was quite clear.

What I care about what the rest of the world thinks about the U.S. can fall into the Marianas Trench.

Then pehaps you should? Considering America is not only on the world stage, but insists on trying to direct and star in the play...

Jihadin wrote:So....is she or isn't she a native american?

There are no "Native Americans". Their ancestors came here from somewhere else just like everybody else. Science says they came from Asia, and they say they were put here by ant-people from space. I don't know which one is right, but it doesn't really matter. Europeans came and kicked their butts and now they are getting rich running casinos, so everybody can just shut up and be happy, damnit!

You should. We watch you constantly.

You seem very concerned about what the US thinks about the rest of the world.

We can't be building roads!

Somebody might use them to open up a new business, and then Obama can say "you didn't build that, government roads build that!"

This is the current absolute worst excuse for a political trolling thread in the history of the Dakka OT. Never has such an insipid point been made so feebly.

Maybe you should fine something more interesting to watch. I hear you can still catch reruns of American Gladiator.

Heck they even have reruns of MASH.

Suicide is painless...it brings on many changes, and you or leave it if you please....

And yet you made it to this point!

Thanks for showing up, and contributing your troll to the collection.

Oh, and I can't tell. Are you Siskel or Ebert?

Cheers!

Original unit still in South Korea

I love how America has a fit every time the government tries to get us to do something for the common good, and yet lets corporations shove their dangerous products (alchohol, tobacco, name your choice of drug with severe side effects, not to mention the ever-popular industrial pollution) down our throats and nobody blinks an eye over it.

This country sucks.

I think it's really funny that this is Elizabeth "the-original-You-Didn't-Build-That" Warren talking about the need to re-invest in infrastructure.

C'mon, Liz, just harvest the money fruit from the mythical Government Revenues Tree! Government is responsible for all that is good and solvent in this world, right? Let government save the roads and bridges!

I would happily see entitlement programs cut to get some roads re-built. All for it.

If its a real issue for you, you can always start walking north and south and stop when you hit water.

Well, I walked north a mile or so, then hit the North Shore Channel. This didn't seem to help at all, so I then walked south several miles before hitting the North Branch of the Chicago River.

At first, I was a little confused as to how this was meant to help. But, then, I realized that Frazzled had led me to the Goose Island Brewery! Beer is the answer!

A gaurentee vote for Frazz is made

This thread is drivel... Lets privatize the socialist, state owned body we call 'The Armed Forces of The United States' and instead hire in private peace keeping forces to do our fighting! China has a government controlled military, we can't be like them!!!
