    Default The Serious Thread

    This ain't yo old-school OT in here, bro. We be serious now, fo reezy.

    As you might have guessed, this is the thread for serious discussion. All those using improper grammar or spelling will be shot. All those who go off-topic will be shot. Anybody who spams will be shot.

    Any questions?


    To start you all off, what do you think the eventual ramifications will be for the United States government allowing the military to run rampant with hundreds of billions of dollars per year that are sorely needed to pay off the government's crippling debt?

    Well, lets see- this was done throughout the Cold War, and even then, the last time our debt was paid off was under Jackson, and most of the debt was accrued once the Democrats took control of the Legislative Branch...

    Well, in a fashion, the USA will sell all it's debt to China, who will then raise interest illegally. USA compains to UN, UN gets nothing done until someone gets the Russian representative drunk. (That's seriously how they get things done in the UN.)

    By that time everyone will have forgotten about the new interest rates besides the US, which will find it's debt has trippled in the last 4 months.

    Of course, this is just what I think, purely opinion.

    Oh, I forgot to mention that. Anybody blaming anything on a specific political party or person will be shot.

    Koop, most of our debt is already in Chinese hands, you should read the book by Lawrence McDonald, titled: "A Colossal Failure", which covers why we are where we are now.

    Edit- but Anyonmous, it is true, I don't care what political affiliation you are, it is a fact that is when most of the debt accrued.

    "To start you all off, what do you think the eventual ramifications will be for the United States government allowing the military to run rampant with hundreds of billions of dollars per year that are sorely needed to pay off the government's crippling debt?"

    Well the military uses that money to pay for wars the politicians get us in, to pay and take care of our solders, and lets not forget the national guard who come in after tornadoes/floods/earthquakes/when you refuse the H1N1 shot...
    So they will spend it how ever the politicians want it spent.

    As for the democrats being the spenders, they themselves think government should tax and spend to help all the people. Republicans don't want to spend as much.
    Personally I am against our unConstitutional forced into being Constatutional taxation and big government spending.

    From an outsider, i.e. Non-American, the way I see it is that the Democrats spend way too much money trying to do good for the population of America in the form of education, healthcare and such and the Republicans spend way too money on wars that aren't theirs, such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

    But too much money is spent, that's for sure...

    I want to throw something else in, is it known by you Americans that there is a law that states that the United States of America can and will invade the Netherlands if an American is being brought in front of the International Court for Crimes against Humanity. In other words, an attack on a fellow NATO country...

    How do you mean Milo, I'm not aware of provoking anything, so please tell me how, so I can change my post.
