Keep complaining, I won't be here to feverishly reply to your nonsense (as you both seem to do little more than hover over your keyboard keen to "show 'em"). Don't miss me while I'm gone traveling around and enjoying a fantastic weekend. Keep winning the internet, ok mmbye. I'll be back next week

A threeway of man hugs and straight male kisses,

-me.

You're a nasty piece of work, aren't you? All you can do is call people names. The more we apply logic and common sense, the more viciously you attack us. Bravo, my friend.

Wook, who was that a-hole of a lawyer that used to post on O-Live that we used to crack short jokes on? I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that.

Edit: Was his name masonjars?

Yes, masonjars. I had it on very good authority that the guy was shorter than Dave Barberis, who is maybe what, five-two? Maybe five-four?

He would have been the target of my quote, lol, but I don't know for sure which monikers he uses now.
 
BTW, I have two words to say on this topic: Fuck Canada.
 
We have an enormous trade deficit. This kind of isolationism is only going to make it worse. We're still going to buy cheap stuff from WalMart because the economy sucks for us consumers. Yet we're not going to export as much, so the trade deficit has to get worse.

I find it odd that some people (barfo specifically wrote it) talk about this money like it's the government's. Whoa. It's my money, the government doesn't have any.

I knew someone would object to that, didn't know it would be you.
It's not your money, it's our money. Government = us.
In any case, I'm fine with saying it is the taxpayers money. Whatever.

He's a Tottenham fan. That's all they can do.
 
I have two words as to why this policy is a bad idea: Smoot-Hawley. I know he wants to be like FDR, but does he have to repeat every mistake?

When are we going to learn that increasing trade is a win-win?

Smoot-Hawley was enacted during the Hoover administration, not FDR.

Also, it was a trade tariff bill, which the current 'buy american' rules aren't.

Thanks for the correction under whose administration it was.

As for S-H, I know what it was. My point is that no matter what kind of bill it is, any bill that restricts free trade is generally a bad one, especially in a recession. S-H was an attempt to "save" jobs and it just made the economic situation worse.
 
Canada has been pissed off for almost three decades because of the softwood lumber dispute.

Just let us know the night before. We'll make cake.

Do you just buy any myth that's fed to you? Government programs ensure this choice never has to be made. Between Social Security, Medicare and Food Stamps, there are more than enough coverage for the bare necessities.

Utter nonsense.

You're probably thinking of Canada.
