Originally posted by Quark_666Well, I found it a pretty stupid joke, seeing as it's ignorant and stupid.
I used the term "liberal budget", and I had to explain to DK that I was using the term just because it's a pun. I make fun of conservatives as well. You jumped all over that statement of course because you think Democrats are God's gift to earth and you can't let a terminology tease them in any way (quite a surprise coming from someone who posts so many "jokes"😉.

Thank Alan Greenspan for the economic boom of the 90s. You were making Clinton responisible for the economy. Even worse, you were placing a direct correlation on the federal budget and the economy.
Originally posted by Quark_666I don't like Republicans.
I'd give the democratic Congresses a high F, as opposed to a Republican F. I don't like either party.
Originally posted by Quark_666Interesting.
I don't try to make the same point over and over when the course of the conversation changes. My argument about the budget was consistent. My argument about the economy was consistent. My argument about Clinton was consistent. They went together nicely.
Originally posted by Quark_666What the **** kind of debate were you looking at? My argument is it's unfair to say it's the democrats fault, and then supplied my reasons why. Are you blind?
If you didn't notice, our conversation has switched emphasis a few times so naturally my argument (unlike yours) also shifted. Yours was the same thing over and over again. "The Democrats are wonderful!" "The Democrats are wonderful"Give me a break.

while i lost any will to support mccain after he bagan pandering to the looney fringe right, i feel that the 'straight talk express' may be just that: talk. im pretty comfortable in the thought that the neoconservative hijacking of our government may very well be drawing to a close, regardless of who wins in november.
Originally posted by Quark_666I'm sure you too would not ignore a very bad pun that is false. Besides, you could've just said "It was a pun." and nothing more.
I think you've defined ignorant and stupid already. I said it was a pun. That doesn't mean I'm expecting you to roll onto the floor with laughter...normal people ignore puns. But if your feelings can't handle it, I'll decrease the fun I get at the expense of democrats.
Originally posted by Quark_666The Budget is a part of the economy, I gave them credit for the budget, in effect, giving them credit for economy. I apoligise for not making that clear to you, but that's what I was doing.
Well it certainly wasn't mine. As a matter of fact, it was a pretty retarded mistake on your part. You actually operated under the assumption that Congressional spending is inversely proportional to the stock market and glorified a political party for its fictitious benefits of a nation.
Originally posted by Quark_666What? I'm entitled to an opinion aren't I?
Because you are so incredibly qualified to make a ruling.
Originally posted by Quark_666Possibly, but you saying that was still interesting.
That is the lamest excuse for a response I've ever seen.
Originally posted by Quark_666That "joke" you told was saying it's the liberals fault the economy is bad. I countered that with some contradictory evidence, then you got upset becuase I was defending the Democrats (which you must really hate) and said that I absolutely love them, which I don't, I just prefer them to Republicans.
No. Last I checked, nobody was saying everything was the democrat's fault, and I know only one person who says everything good is to their credit.

Originally posted by Quark_666I don't think I mentioned the stock market.
Point taken.Buying a pack of gum at a local gas station is also part of the economy. You don't measure the economy by how often you do that though, do you? Likewise, Congressional spending can effect the economy, but posting data about the stock market proves nothing about Congressional spending.
Originally posted by Quark_666So why do you regard mine as me making a ruling?
We're all entitled to an opinion, including my dog.
Originally posted by Quark_666lol
Thank you.
Originally posted by Quark_666So you admit you were wrong in saying that no one said it's the democrat's fault? Seeing as quite clearly, you said it was the democrats fault.
Yeah, but I forgive me anyway.
Originally posted by Quark_666I don't recall me mentioning the stock market. I do recall you claiming me to loving the democrats, as a response against me saying they're better than the republicans.
I wouldn't use the word "upset", and my response had nothing to do with the fact that you were defending democrats. In fact I agreed that Republicans have been even worse with the budget than democrats recently (certainly since Reagan left office). My response was more aimed at the fact that you thought you could just look at the stock market and find conclusive data on Congress.
Originally posted by Quark_666Yes.
As does everyone sometimes.
Originally posted by lord xyzYes, I admit I was wrong.
So you admit you were wrong in saying that no one said it's the democrat's fault? Seeing as quite clearly, you said it was the democrats fault.
Originally posted by lord xyzI hope you are aware that I don’t actually have much fun explaining all this stuff too you.
So why do you regard mine as me making a ruling?
Making a ruling isn’t a bad thing…it’s just the same as an opinion. Some people like to reserve that term for certain procedures in the law. Many don’t. I’m one of the many.
My criticism stemmed from bias on my part. It originated from things you have said about American politics and American politicians that are entirely wrong. It was excusable (mostly) in your case because you are talking about politics that are foreign to you, but unless you've researched a bunch since then, you are still misinformed.

Originally posted by lord xyzI suppose your mistake is innocent enough.

When people refer to fluctuations in the economy, they are usually referring to the stock market. You were referring to fluctuations in the economy. If you'd care to post the site where you got your data and it refers to the numbers for Congressional spending, I'd be happy to apologize and revoke my claims that your data isn't applicable.

How was I entirely wrong? I showed to you that the democrats did good in the budget, and thus, the economy.
