I'll let YOu in on a little secret, you come across like you believe every problem with this country can be attributed to conservative politics and ideology. So it's not out of line to conclude what I did about your comments on rural America.

I'll let you in on another secrect.. I'm not a very political person. Yes I have my opinions on things and sometimes state them, but it's extremely rare for me to talk politics in real life..

However here on GFY there are many consertives whom just run amok so I like to troll them.. It's extremely easy to troll loud mouth consertives, because more often than not, they are factually wrong.

This is one of the core problems with the consertive ideology. They say things which they think sounds correct, but is more often than not wrong. As bush used to say "he shoots from the gut"...

Look above to the commit by RebelR about how he thinks consertives in rural America think "their taxes" are being used to subsidize liberals in big cities. Meanwhile it's the exact opposite as its big cities and the state's which they are in whom pay the most taxes and subsidize the rural states..

This wasn't a myth. And I don't know the name of the neighborhood. We were actually shooting a scene and wanted to do the set up to the scene (non-nude, just storyline) at a local park.

So we went out of the area with all the skyscrapers and just went into an area that had neighborhoods with small houses, convenience stores, etc.
Looked like it could have been any town in the U.S.

And the guy who was taking us around told us we couldn't shoot a couple of blocks over because of that kind of racism on the part of the black people there.

I'm sure that folks who live in NYC could comment on that better than I can. It was kind of shocking to me at the time because I'm from the South originally. And having lived in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina...I had never run into that kind of thing before even though the Southern States are thought of as the most racist.

Hell, when I lived in Atlanta...I was the minority. :)

Who are the "many conservatives" who "run amok" on GFY that you so bravely put in their place with your insight?

I am pro-choice, anti drug-war, anti-war. Yet you've told me that I am a "Republican" over and over.

Apparently the word "conservative" must have a different meaning to you.

I'm gonna hazard a guess from your posts and say that anybody who doesn't 100% agree with whatever the Democrat Party or any members of it in office are doing...then becomes the target of your admitted trolling.

Ok. *I* am sure, that you, *Robbie*, will vote for Donald Trump. I hope you change your mind, but ok, whatever.

To Crockett:
But Robbie, you ARE a republican. You may be anti drug-war, anti-war, but you are still republican. From every discussion I've ever had with you, you seem to be 100% pure GOP Bush-lovin' republican.

I'm sorry if I've got this wrong and I'm not trying to pick on you I promise. But to me and from my point of view, you have Ronald Reagan photoshopped onto Mount Rushmore in front of a nuclear bomb spewing red white and blue mushroom clouds as your desktop background. Which is ok. I mean sure, why not? Anyway would you mind clarifying your political leanings to a dumb-ass Canadian like myself so I understand where you are coming from?

Peace? :)

Lol. ********** you just did exactly what crockett does. If anyone has a open mind and does not agree 100% with Democrats or heaven forbid agree with a Republican on any issue then they are automatically A Republican
Talk about "group think" You are a great example of it. :pimp

I'm still shaking my head at why ********** would post something so incredibly dumb.

Mark, you are saying to me: "Robbie you are FOR everything the Republican party is AGAINST...but since you have dared to speak against policies that Democrats have done...you are a Republican"

Fucking insane! lol

Let's see...using ********** theory of crockettscience....that means:
Donald Trump is a Democrat because he is bashing the policies of Republicans (and also has contributed more money to Democrats than Republicans)

Barry Sanders is also a Republican because he is bashing the policies of Democrats.

And anybody out there who dares to not agree with specific policies...you are all now Republican.

You post things that are just plain stupid Mark. I don't even know if you have any adult business left...but man, this kind of thing can't be helping you biz-wise when you make yourself appear ignorant all the time in political threads.

I don't mind you coming on here and acting like a jackass. That's kinda what this thread is for.
But again...nobody gives a damn what my political leanings are (for the record: I'm leaning to Sanders if he wins the Dem nomination...if not, then third party).
And nobody gives a damn about what you think my political leanings are.

It would be nice if you and crockett wouldn't mind having an intelligent discussion about the FACT that politics has always been nasty. And many times VERY nasty. And what Trump has done isn't that big a deal in comparison.

You don't agree with that? Cool! That's what discussions are about.
But that's not what you're doing. You are simply being a troll. Which makes you useless in this forum.

hah! you're not a very political person because you rarely discuss it irl! that's a good one.

Only on GFy... And only because you guys constantly post shit about how horrible the left is. In fact I only started arguing in these topics because of the daily Vendzilla and Co hates Obama topics.. I got tired of seeing you guys constantly complain about Obama, so I started trolling you guys..

If you right weenies stopped posting these topics, you wouldn't ever see a political post from me..

I didn't realize this thread has anything to do with Obama...

But apparently it does. So far MP and crockett have name checked Obama, Bush, and Reagan. lol

... which is why I'm asking you to better explain how and what you think, since I've got you wrong. Come on man, I'm trying to understand you.


Let's see. You insult me all the time, and I shrug it off. I ask you a question (colorfully, granted), and you cry like a little girl. Got it. Warning to everyone: Don't dare engage Robbie about politics and ask him to explain his position (while Admitting to being dumbfounded by it at the same time) or else risk being called "stupid".

So Trump's financials have been released and guess what....

He's not worth anything near the 10 billion dollar lie he told. How is a guy who files for bankruptcy four times going to worth 10 billion? But you know what? It doesn't matter anyway because he's a joke, and he's also the Republican party's foot that goes firmly into it's mouth. They deserve him and won't find a way to get that foot out of their mouth. But its not like they had a shot even without Trump. They can't help but sabotage their chances by just being straight up pricks on the wrong side of every issue.

Cricket is too ignorant to know that

You troll because you can't debate

Check your facts: Show me exactly where I mentioned President Obama in this thread. I didn't, but hey - don't let facts get in the way of your own thoughts there, Robbie. Otherwise "they" may cut off yer whatchamacallit Fox n Friends Tee-vee show, I tell ya whut!

Earlier in this thread you accused me of not reading your post, and now you are clearly making up "facts" to suit your own beliefs.

Anyway, please re-read my message. I told you I didn't understand your political leanings, and that to me you seem to be republican. If I'm wrong, ok I'm wrong, but can you please clarify for me, a dumb-ass liberal tree-hugging salad eating foreigner, who or which party you would vote for, and why? I promise you that I thought I knew, but I don't. Please educate me. Thanks in advance.

You really are acting foolish Mark. I wasn't speaking to you in that quote you gave. But don't let facts get in YOUR way (as if).

This quote from crockett was what I replied to:

Where did you read that? I'd like to see that too. :)
Last I saw reported was that he is worth over 10 billion according to the papers he filed. Has that been changed or something?

What the fuck? This not what I said at all. All I asked you to do was to clarify your thinking for me. Why are you getting so upset? Is this such a hard question for you to answer? If so I'm sorry I asked, and I won't ask you to answer it. Geeezuz!

No, not at all. I never said that or even thought it. This is like the 3rd or 4th time you have said I've said something which I haven't. All I have ever said is that Trump is an idiot and would make a terrible and dangerous president, regardless of which party he would run with.

Again with this stupid assumptions. Take a pill and relax already. I never said what you claim, so sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

Robbie, these are just discussions, debates, exchanges of ideas and opinions. Just because you would refuse to do business with someone who disagrees with you on politics doesn't mean I would do the same. My brother is a red neck gun-loving wootin' tooting' republican and I love the guy. We talk about this stuff every day, and he never breaks a sweat. Why do you?

Nice.

BINGO!

I do! That's why I asked! Like I said, I clearly had you pegged wrong, so I asked you to clarify, and you went apeshit. Calm the hell down and answer the question please, or don't. Whatever, its up to you.


mkay.

This is different, and this is why Trump is in the news every second of every day. It's extremely nasty.

No dickhead, I was not trolling you. I was asking you to clarify your position for me, that's all.

Have a beer.

It's useless to debate guys like you, because your mind is made up and will never change.

Lo! Weak dodge, Robbie, weak dodge.

You are too funny with your trolling. You kind of remind me of a politician.
You say something and then a few minutes later deny it. :1orglaugh

Can you PLEASE go back on topic? Or do you not have ANYTHING to add intellectually to the discussion?

I kind of knew when I started this thread it wouldn't stay on track because of Mark and crockett. lol

They could just debate whether what Trump said is even CLOSE to the campaign of 1800 between Pres. Adams and Vice Pres. Jefferson.

But they don't have any answer. So...attack everything else without even addressing the original post.
Sad...

In the 1800s we had slavery people had shoot outs in the West as a way to settle arguments.. Women couldn't vote..

Yet you want to compare campaign rethrotic from then vs now to prove your pre-determined point. Which no matter what is said, will you change your mind..

If you listen to Donald Trump (and look at him) how can you think he's anything but a gaping asshole? It just shows a flaw in your own character.

Robbie: Clearly I have completely misread your political leanings. Please clarify them for me so we can continue the discussion? If you don't want to answer, then don't I guess.

i post shit about how horrible the left is? where did i do that? because it wasn't on gfy.

yup, i've expressed my views on obama, both praise (obamacare, etc) and disappointment, and that's because i have a right to critique the guy i voted 2x for. I've also stated here to you directly and more than once that Jim Webb is my guy.

you're free to troll gfyers who voted for Obama and who try to view him fair and square, but it's weird you need to pigeonhole me just so you can troll us about the politics you claim you don't care about all while being fully brushed up on the liberal blogosphere agenda.

I've actually said it TWICE in this thread...here's the first time:
And here is the second time (and you have actually quoted from this reply yourself):
Are you really like this in real life? Because I will repeat: You are on a business forum...even if it's a crazy ass one like GFY. And people do judge your intelligence by what you show them here.

Now how about the topic? Instead of your obsession with me and my political leanings?
Yours are already well known and the mention of your name on GFY brings up visions of that side of you instead of your business.

Just looked at that. It didn't really have any facts in that article. Just how the guy who wrote it thinks that Donald Trump isn't worth what he says.

Who knows? I don't, you don't, and the guy who wrote that piece certainly doesn't.

One thing is for sure...Trump is pretty damn well off and unlike Mitt Romney, he doesn't try to pretend he's just a "common man".

I think that's the whole secret behind his poll showing. People are sick of politicians and their b.s.

Whether we think Trump is full of shit or not is inconsequential. We KNOW that the lifelong politicians are definitely lying through their teeth.

I think Trump and Sanders are both a breath of fresh air and are exposing the 2 party system and the media for trying to take away our choices of whom to vote for.

What are they so scared of?

If Trump is so unpopular then let the voters decide.
If Sanders has no chance...let the voters decide.

I want to be able to make up my own mind. Not have it decided for me by the RNC and DNC and the media that is in their pocket.

according to the documents, Trump is President of several hundred companies. seems a good quality to have to be, you know, President.

Trump Change!

https://dummidumbwit.files.wordpress...omination.jpeg

Why does it? Because having several hundred companies and being bankrupt four times is somehow qualification to understand the nuances of domestic and overseas diplomacy?

If I have to explain how experience as president of running 100s of large multi-national business operations combined with the experience of successfully negotiating with 100s of international banks to refinance and restructure bankruptcy debt, then you wouldn't understand.

Nuances of domestic and overseas diplomacy? You mean the "nuances" that have been handled so well by our Federal Govt. for the last few decades?

I don't think you thought about that. Our country has pretty much set the damn world on fire since the end of WW2.

Also...this is a contest for the position of the Executive Branch of Govt.

Not saying Trump is the guy. Just saying that "yes", an experienced executive would be what you would want.

And I keep seeing references made to bankruptcies. In business...bankruptcy is used to restructure.

Pres. Bush and now Pres. Obama have technically bankrupted our country many, many times over.
Only the Federal Govt. could get away with "deficit spending"
No other entity can do that.

Think about that just a second. Pres. Bush racked up more debt than all the President's before him.
Pres. Obama doubled Bush's debt!

They both would have went truly "bankrupt" a long time ago in the real world. :(

One other thing bronco67...how exactly were Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and especially Pres. Obama "qualified" when they took office to handle the "nuances" of domestic and foreign policy?

Pres. Obama had ZERO experience in that.

The Presidency isn't something that really has a way to train for. It's an on the job learning experience because it is a one-of-a-kind job.
Unless we are gonna elect a former British or Canadian Prime Minister to President of the U.S., nobody is really qualified. lol

But it is by definition the EXECUTIVE branch of govt.
So an actual person with experience running something is preferable...just makes good common sense, right?

Yes, exactly what Pres. Obama did with General Motors to save it.

Have you ever run a business? It's a lot harder than it looks.

The first thing all of those people listed have is the ability to not act like an unfiltered loose cannon that shoots first and asks questions later.

Trump is a buffoon. I don't give a shit what he has or what he's done.

One of the major aspects of being the president is how well you delegate and manage. It is such a big job you have to rely on your cabinet and advisers and make choices based on the information they give you. You also need to be able to pick good people for those jobs. The better the team you surround yourself with the better the odds are you will be successful.

Being a CEO or president of a company requires many of the same skills.

Sure, there are big differences, but being president is such a unique job is is hard to know for sure just how good someone will be at the job until they are doing the job. That said, if they were governor of a state or Mayor of a major city or CEO of a big company it can give you a glimpse into their management style and how they might do.
