SOTU Address:[W: 378; 1310; 1451]

Re: SOTU Address:

You know, Apple made a record profit.....in total number of dollars. But as a percentage of its total revenue? Kind of paltry.

The WHOLE picture is much more telling than the convenient snippets.

You are talking to kids who live with their parents. They don't get it. They are fine with Apple making a pofit as long as they get their new toys. Outlaw that pofit and they would blame Republicans because here is no IPad 6.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

We should just end poverty, let's make the national minimum wage $30.00 an hour.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

You do know that more than just gasoline comes from oil, don't you?

Yes.

And that point is completely irrelevant to the point I was making.

If you make a 100 billion dollars and still end up with a negative cooperate tax liability because of subsidies and deferments, you're a crook.

Chevron.

Exxon.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

OK. Now that the opening act is getting off the stage, let's hear what Rubio has to say.:waiting:
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Breaking News! Ted Nugent was stripped searched and arrested by the Sargent at Arms for making really bad videos.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

How many AR-15's were used to kill those little children?


Zero? Wasn't it zero?


The most effective way to kill those kids, other than explosives, would have been a pump shotgun.

Good luck outlawing those...

In fact, the largest mass killings of students in American history was accomplished with the use of dynamite...

But you can put the picture of the last 3 mass murderers together, and see the problem is mental illness.......

Idiot grins, red hair, bulging eyes........

Why has the Democrat Party make it so difficult to institutionalize the obviously mentally ill?

I mean I KNOW it would SEVERELY effect their voting base, but it would make life far safer for us as well.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

"Rich people are the best people in the world"

That about sums up his speech and every GOP speech. Oh and "We need to invade some country or other."
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Instead of trying to win points via sarcasm you could simply back a living wage proposal.

Conservative quantum weirdness in a nutshell. Man I'm glad you only exist online.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

LOL I bet red state Senators need to change their undergarments after hearing POTUS say time and time again, on gun control, "they deserve a vote".

It's always refreshing to see such blatant bull****. Love ending the day on a laugh.

Meh, dead people voting Dem is nothing new.

The premise is ABSURD and if you can't comprehend why, there's no hope in having a conversation.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

What are you looking forward to? Obama's Speech. Rubio's Speech. Or Rand Paul's Speech?

This can also be a live thread to discuss the speech itself and the others.

Rubio.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

If you can't see the logical fallacy of the "it's Gary Indiana's fault we have so much gun crime in Chicago" argument I can't help you.

The states that surround Illinois have some of the lowest gun safety ratings.

I picked Indiana because it gets an F.

BTW - do you even know what a logical fallacy is? They have names you know.

Seriously? All we have to do is arrest, imprision and/or incarcerate into mental institutions everyone you think has idiot grins, red hair and bulging eyes? That's all it takes?

:doh
 
Re: SOTU Address:

That could only happen if the CEO did not make $50,000/hr. And that would be wrong.
 
Re: SOTU Address:

Yeah, baaaaybeeee. Obama dismantled the lunacy and narcissism of the GOP agenda.

Conservatives are toast!

Haven't watched the speech yet, but this would really surprise me. One of the worst qualities in Obama's leadership, IMO, has been an inability to communicate policy directly to people. At best, he seems to be able to make broad emotional appeals, while ignoring the need to tie them into key points of policy.

Ok let me spell it out for you, the PREMISE of a "living wage" is so blatantly absurd, an antithetical to a free market economy, that if you can't comprehend same, you don't possess the intellect needed for intelligent conversation.
