'Obama has promised his stimulus will save or create up to 4 million new jobs.'

That is what you call: White-collar and Blue-collar welfare.

It is not a job.

The U.S. is corrupt. See below. Even when they think they will not encounter corruption, and then do encounter corruption, they still say 'I don't think that we will in our lifetimes', when they just did encounter corruption.

Fraud on massive scales, stealing money, taking kickbacks, you name it. And, the 'typical U.S. citizen' buries their head in the sand and pretends like it is not true, and then lines up in the 'mother of all kick back line' to get the payouts and kickbacks ... welfare.

'I've never encountered, and I don't think that we will in our lifetimes, a case where literally thousands of kids' lives were just tossed aside in order for a couple of judges to make some money,' said Marsha Levick, an attorney with the Philadelphia-based Juvenile Law Center, which is representing hundreds of youths sentenced in Wilkes-Barre.'

Please STFU. You have no idea about anything you spout about. Take a hike, and please stay away from our country.

Dear STFU,

I am sure you want to sequester the truth, but kickbacks, bribes and payoffs are rampant in the U.S. society. The U.S. just went through the most rampant financial fraud in the history of the world. It is undeniable.

And now Congress and the President wants to outdo even that with one trillion dollars worth of kickbacks! Amazing!

OK Lance ...Feb 11th, 2009 - 21:42:42

What are YOU doing about it?

Nothing, but bitching.

All you do is bitch, bitch, bitch.

But you never do ANYTHING.

Why don't you DO something, for a change.

(and don't kid yourself ... you're no messenger ... your incessant bitching on this forum accomplishes nothing, other than creating misery for the rest of us ... you're just a little whining bitch)

'But you never do ANYTHING.'

Not accepting kickbacks, bribes and payoffs is the first step to doing something.

Most of the time, the most important thing is not what you do, but what you don't do.

The next important thing is to not be complicit in the fraud, kickbacks, bribes and payoffs by ignoring it, making excuses for it or being silent about it.

There are many other things that I do, but I'm not going to explain those.

... and you hardly know that 'I never do ANYTHING'. The facts are actually substantially the converse. But, again: The subject is not about me, it is about the President and Congress of the United States participating in fraud, kickbacks, bribes and payoffs.

You DO nothing.

You do nothing Lance. Abso-friggin-lutely nothing.

Besides intimidation, ostracizing and ridiculing is the next way people hide (sequester) criminal activity and hence become complicit in it.

That is the way the catholic church did it for decades when their priests mass raped children.

More examples in the U.S. society abound.

had called out Lance on his whining and dared him to actually do something concrete about what he sees as the ills of the world. His response? - more whining, b*tching, moaning and complaining. I guess it is easier to sit behind a keyboard and shoot bullsh*t bullets than to do something constructive. Lance has got to be the laziest vegetable on the planet.

So, what is worse: me pointing out the obvious ...

... or you whining about the [alleged] whining?

Does that, according to you, make you do-nothings?

You are definitely your own worst enemy in more ways than one.

alleged?????Feb 11th, 2009 - 22:34:42

Lance has the temerity to say alleged????????
What an idiot. All one has to do is look at his posts. That proves the point. There is no allegation to it whatsoever. Fact is fact. As for the rest of his com-post it is totally false logic. A red herring. Utter bunk. Bilgewater. Deflection. But Lance is to far out to lunch to recognize the fact. Lance is his own worst enema. Yes, out-to-lunch Lance, I said and meant the word enema.

'Utter bunk.'

So, what is bunk? The part about priests that mass rape children? Rampant financial fraud in the U.S.? The judge who takes kickbacks to put kids in jail? Congress and the president making a trillion dollars of new debt for welfare projects? Mass killing of muslims? One million babies being killed per year in the U.S. (abortion).

... and that is just the tip of the iceburg. Fraud and corruption is rampant in U.S. society.

It is all black and white, right in front of your eyes. You not acknowledging it is not fraud, it is willful ignorance. Willful ignorance is the primary way fraudsters get away with fraud.

You want 'Bunk' Lance?Feb 11th, 2009 - 23:06:23

How bout your nonsensical accusations (on sooo many posts) that everyone on this forum is on welfare.

Now ... either post something 'new' ... DO something about it ... or go away ... we're tired of you repeating the same 'bitch' over and over ... we get it already, gheez.

'priests that mass rape children? '
Prove it.

'Rampant financial fraud in the U.S.?'
Prove it.

'The judge who takes kickbacks to put kids in jail?'
Prove it.

'Congress and the president making a trillion dollars of new debt for welfare projects?'
Prove it.

'Mass killing of muslims?'
Prove it.

'One million babies being killed per year in the U.S. (abortion).'
Prove it.

'... and that is just the tip of the iceburg. Fraud and corruption is rampant in U.S. society.'
Prove it.

You have made the allegations, now prove it.
As for all the alleged mass killings of babies, muslims, mass rapes of children, get a life, GET OVER IT. Vegetating on things that are mainly a figment of your addled imagination will do nothing for your mental health, which is very precarious. Shut the f*ck up and do something concrete about it, if you feel you see an injustice. Whining and snivelling on this site will do you no good. How about just shut the f*ck up, period.

Should read the Serenity Prayer.
I'll put the gist of it here.
May your personal Diety give you the strength to change the things that can be changed.
May your personal Diety give you the courage to accept the things that cannot be changed.
May your personal Diety grant you the wisdom to know the difference.
May your personal Diety rip your tongue out by the roots if you continue to whine, snivel, moan and complain.
Amen.

lance is not that bad!Feb 12th, 2009 - 00:00:51

he is way better than all the morons in here who are all for global war and bush the genious and shit!
sometimes i wish only if bush got 4 more years, that would be so cool cause by then the situation would get so bad, so bad that all the morons in here like sp4 and shitheads would just shut up and hide back in their basements.
i like to read lance's posts, its cool cause what he sais could have all been avoided long time ago if only people were sensible, but now all those morons have lance to remind them of their choices and their results, to them and their children!
so i wish everybody a happy new year and a long time line of thin well fare cheques!

''One million babies being killed per year in the U.S. (abortion).' - Prove it.'

Just as an example:

www.cdc.gov/ReproductiveHealth/Data_Stats/index.htm#Abortion

'In 2005, 820,151 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC'

The U.S. government reports that nearly 1 million babies per year are purposely killed in the United States.

... it is a well known fact, and every U.S. citizen should know it by now. The fact that you do not know such common place facts is alarming. My other assertions are easily proven also, but why should I even try. It is obvious that you wish to remain willfully ignorant.

Really? No I mean it Really? So what, what makes you believe that this situation is any of your concern? Who's trying to deny it? I mean really. Your grasp of the obvious is amazing, but again it is none of your business.

'And now Congress and the President wants to outdo even that with one trillion dollars worth of kickbacks! Amazing!'

Again, please stick with your own obvious problems and STFU!
