No possible way to make you happy... as if the healthcare bill would be a few hundred pages long, as if medicare is a few hundred pages long.

If he didn't pass the bill, you would be saying it's another broken promise. If it was too short, you would say it had to many open ends. Now that it's too long, nobody can read it.

Like Obama really gives a fuck about you, you are a slave.

says someone in costa rica. you non tax paying piece of shit!

Thank god, if he was to worry about one man or each person, wow he would be way busy. Obama must have some real kick ass super powers to have made me a slave when he came into office. Damn, that Obama!

He gives a "fuck"...about the direction of the country...and Doc is a citizen of the country...and I doubt that he considers himself to be a "slave"...nor do I. Even if I were to consider myself as being a "slave"...my response would be thank you for being a good "massa...massa".

how many pages were used for the bill of rights?



when I see my parents medicare bill go up due to the healthcare bill going into effect a couple years from now, I have a problem

when I see him give a speech and make fun of the GOP, I have a problem, that's making fun of half the people of the US

When I see the president of Mexico in front of congress speaking out against the people of Arizona, I got a problem

when I see more troops being deployed to a foreign war, I got a problem

when I see the unemployment rate at 9.5% nationally and 14% locally, I got a problem

when I see the president of the US bowing to a foreign power, I got a problem

when I see concerned peaceful people protesting the president being called racist when there is no proof from organizations like the NAACP, I got a problem

when I hear from the president of the United State after hearing about a white cop arresting a black man that he acted stupidly, then offering them both a beer at the white house, I got a problem

and when people tell me those aren't a problem, I got a problem with that

I really hope he doesnt keep those promises that ruin the country. Oh wait he did keep those promises. I dont count his promise to give someone a tour of the white house a promise, Im counting the ones that effect me and my family.

One second, I am just remembering all the calls on this board and the DNC about how great this guy will be. He never went up on the podium and said, "Lets slow down, I am not a Messiah and I am not the greatest hope for this country." He did say he is not a racist but clearly he gave a pass to two racists and never condemned Jeremiah Wright. No he accepted all the hype and used it to get elected. Fuck, his own political machine created or encouraged all of it. No pass

These are the weakest excuses ever given on GFY.

I wasn't aware our law makers had to make short bills and I have no idea why you now think it's a problem.

Your parents medical bills did not go up because of the healthcare bill, it's impossible to have happened. The GOP thing was needed and funny. The Mexico crap is pointless.

You had a problem with Bush sending troops to Afgan? I had a problem with us going to war with Afgan because Afgan didn't do anything, which is why Obama changed the policy. I don't have a problem going after people that attacked my Country anyone that does should leave the Country.

Other presidents have bowed to foreign powers...Is it bad that they shook our Presidents hand, which is also a sign of respect to how our people greet others?

I don't care about what went down the cop and black man or a beer offer to make up for his stupid words. My god, if you hung on every stupid thing a president did or said, man you would be hating every president like mad and that's is just pathetic and sad.

Unemployment doesn't turn around after an extreme drop in two years... It's the "last" thing to turn around. You should be proud that he got it to stop dropping like a rock in water rather than hating that he hasn't also pulled a miracle out of his ass.



If this is the reasons you dislike Obama, you should be screaming hate for Bush and his Policies and what they did to our Country. I agree, not everything Obama has done is what I would have done - but holy shit, "pretending" he should have fixed it all by now is... crazy, just pure crazy and the hate, my god... it's the most illogical reasons I've ever heard to hate a President over.

Only promises on that site are campaign promises. None of the promises that have gone through, have actually effected you or your family, at all - in a bad way. You can stop pretending that they have.

He hasn't done anything to actually ruin the Country, not anything at least that you could point out that actually did hurt or ruin the Country.

P.S. I never saw him say he was the Messiah or ever act like one at that. The only people that think that are right wing dig bats that get stuck on a word they heard over the news.

I'm sorry that you find your abilities so limited and that you are led by sterotypes and generalizations. Must be a drab, wretched life you lead.

Sally.

I'll give you respect if that EGA represents you. But I whole heartly disagree that his promises havent effected me or the country. Next Tax season I'll see it again in black and white with how much he wants me to pay for his promises to everyone but me (the Voter).

Yes, I'm a Marine..

What has his promises done that have effected you? I really can't think of one.

Your taxes might go up if you're rich.. but they aren't really going up, they're just going back to previous levels. I would have an issue with that, if the tax cuts had helped the Economy, but they didn't as another President promised.

That should be "Affected", not "Effected" and yes it has affected me personally. He lied. You can call it a campaign promise if you want but he lied. He continues to lie. And yes, I have been Affected in a bad way; several in fact. My taxes are going up due to his continuation of the war in Afghanistan. My area is Affected by illegal immigration, which he will do nothing about except try to jail the people who will, he has obligated the entire society for trillions of dollars in debt, most of which can never be repaid and has lowered the threshold of what he considers a "rich" American to be from $250.000.00 a year to $200,000.00 a year and his minions and familiars are making noises about lowering the figure to a paltry $100.000.00.

You let him off the hook for not following through on his campaign promises because they were ONLY campaign promises but most people I know call such broken promises LIES!

I AM Affected because he bailed out the BANKS but not the people who had been screwed by the BANKS and the mortgage brokers, such that there are now NINE active foreclosures in the area in which I live! (I'm not one of them! I paid CASH for my place!)

I AM Affected because he is trying to stifle oil exploration in this country while giving BILLIONS to other countries to finance THEIR oil exploration!

Do NOT try to tell me that I am NOT Affected because it just ain't so!

Sally.

On paper I look rich but my expense are huge for being a small businessowner I can barely make it.
Giving tax breaks to the wealthy work. When was the last poor person create a job for you or me.
We were promised help with our home loans and to my understanding only 11% of actually have gone thru with any significant help to the home owner.
Trillions of dollars that Obama has put into the economy has only created more governement jobs, today we have a bigger federal employee work force that makes more then them mean average of the private sector. He did promised to creat jobs but my taxes still pay for those fucking government jobs that are not needed.
I get demonized by the administration because I am a real estate investor. I dont qualify for a loan mod because its a rental property. But the asshole low income fucks who buy a home for zero down backed up with money that dont exist get help. And 50% of those who get the loan mod default again. There goes more of our tax money that I have to pay for.
He wont secure the border, giving a free pass to illegals and increasing our crime. Mean while sueing AZ for trying to do the right thing and using tax money to do it.
I could go on but some people cant read this far and wait for the opinion of others.

Devil Dog, he doesnt deserve your loyalty. We both didnt server our country to watch this guy piss it away. I didnt bury two friends and thought I'd live to see the day our president bow and apologise to Mexico and every other peice of shit country.

It's effected because that's what I typed, sad if that bothers you.

Your taxes aren't going up, I personally don't think you personally earn $250k a year, and if you did... you should be getting your tax cut rolled back - it didn't help our Country, you didn't help our Country like they said you would. I live in Arizona, I'm not stupid enough to blame Obama for illegals, for sure when he has beefed the border up more than any President in history.

The stats on his Campaign promises has already been posted... he's kept more than any President in history and broken fewer as well. Check your facts.

Obama did not do the bail bailouts... Bush did them. We had foreclosures around us too. Again, none of this is Obama's fault.

He's also giving money into alternative energy sources and all types of energy things.. It would be stupid to think that's not good for the Country.

Btw.. None of these things have Effected you... You "assume" they will, when "NOTHING" Obama has done has changed a damn thing about your life. Nothing you posted, is an actual change in your life.. it hasn't hurt you, damaged you or even cost you a dime.

Yep, several class action law suits over the banks not lending money to people that did qualify for the modifications. It's easy to blame Obama, but he isn't the one giving out the loans.

Obama hasn't put Trillions into the Economy, that's incorrect information. The Gov jobs were temp jobs.

Yes, first time home buyers get great benefits... I loved them when I got them and missed them when I didn't get them. You shouldn't be allowed to get a loan mod, because it's a rental. You made a bad "investment" nobody should cover your ass.

He's secure the border more than any other President, more Border patrol and more Guard "on the border" than ever before in History. What's funny is you sit here bitching about spending, and don't accept the fact that securing the border would cost hundreds of billions if not trillions.

I'm not loyal to Obama... If he ends up failing or succeeding it's no skin off my ass. But what I don't like is people giving out all types of wrong or bad or skewed information about the guy simply because others are spewing the crap.

I actually think the man is trying, if he's always making the right choices or not, that's debatable but I see a man trying to do his job and I've heard and seen him listen and do what others suggested - he's listening, he's taking action.. At least he's fucking doing something.

English! Do You Speak It?

Grammar Rules for Affect and Effect

Now that we have the two definitions, how do we know which word to use? Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind:

1. If you are talking about a result, then use the word "effect."

* Example: What effect did the loss have on the team?

2. It is appropriate to use the word "effect" if one of these words is used immediately before the word: into, no, take, the, any, an, or and.

* Example: The prescribed medication had no effect on the patient's symptoms.
* Example: In analyzing a situation, it is important to take the concepts of cause and effect into consideration.

3. If you want to describe something that was caused or brought about, the right word to use is effect.

4. Affect can be used as a noun to describe facial expression.

* Example: The young man with schizophrenia had a flat affect.
* Example: The woman took the news of her husband's sudden death with little affect.

5. Affect can also be used as a verb. Use it when trying to describe influencing someone or something rather than causing it.

I don't see what's so bad about government. I think it's pretty neat.

hahaha, you really didn't get what I typed, let me repeat it: "It's Effected because that's what I typed, sad if that bothers you."

Bitch.. I don't care if it's affected or effected or afect, as long as you're able to understand what was typed, it makes no difference.

Anyway, it's mighty damn sad that it would bother you enough to post the definition. I'll tell ya now, I'm not reading that shit, I personally - don't give a shit if I typed it wrong or incorrect or what the hell it is.

I think it's mighty damn sad that such opinionated people as yourself are not concerned with things like the TRUTH and ACCURACY! I hold the opinion that people who find themselves unable to effectively communicate due to improper use of the language should shut the Hell up.

Your lack of concern for accuracy in expression is characteristic of the True "Liberal"; "As long as it's close and you get the idea, it's OK!", which is of course not true; accuracy in communication is paramount.

I suppose that you are now willing to forgive GWB for his use of "nu-ku-ler" as it is "close" and you knew what he meant, right? I somehow doubt it.

Sally.

Sorry, if you think grammar or spelling makes an actual difference in a conversion that you can actually follow, then you're fucked in the head.

Straight up.. for all your stupid ass knows I'm not English or maybe Grammar isn't my thang, maybe math is my game or maybe I can build a fucking car without thinking or maybe it's just not that damn important to me... People like you make me puke.

I've made fun of the way people talk, dress, etc. even corrected people (if it makes a shit, like they're totally using the wrong word that you can't figure it out). But if I'm having a debate with them, I don't stop and correct how they say something when I knew what they were talking about. That's called being a douche bag that has nothing to argue with so you pull out the grammar/spelling hat and start giving out tickets.

Do you understand what the difference between myself and GWB is? Well simply, I'm not the President of the United States on national TV making myself looking like an idiot to the entire nation and world.

What I am doing is sitting on an unimportant forum, talking with some person that thinks me typing the word effected, some how effected them or even could possibly compare to the leader of our Country sounding like a hick from Texas.

Btw, did you mean G.W.B. - I'm not sure what GWB means. Yeah, it's like that... And you sign every post you make as Sally? Like we don't know who wrote it?

I mean come on, if we're going to point out gay shit let's go crazy!

I hold the opinion that people who worry more about spelling and proper use of grammar than the actual intention of the statement (which was quite clear to anyone that doesn't nitpick) should find better things to worry about. Your tirade about effect and affect is simply deflection and an attempt at attacking his credibility, which didn't work, because the rest of us can clearly understand what he meant and really don't give a rats behind that he misused a very commonly misused word.

A PhD in English could run circles around you or anyone else on this board. Does that mean our opinions don't count, simply because we don't know perfect definition and perfect punctuation? Absolutely not.

Who does write my posts if not myself? I sometimes copy and paste but give credit. And by the way, the use of a president's intitals without the otherwise required periods following the letters, although technically incorrect, is acceptable use. I mean when was the lsat time you saw "JFK" written as "J.F.K."? Stop being silly, although I am sorry that you have led such a sheltered life as to not be aware of the fact. I am glad however, that I have borught this to your attention as you will now know who is referenced by such monikers as "RFK", "MLK" (Famous pepole sometimes get the same treatment as presidents!), "HST", "FDR" and a myriad of others.

I must further speculate that the old die-hard Democrat from Texas, Lyndon Baines Johnson also sounded like a hick as he also pronounced the word as "nu-ku-ler"; it's a geographic dialectical thing and no big deal except when a Republican does it. Oh, so did Jimmuh Carter, perhaps another "hick" on the Democrat side of things.

Oh, well, it's hot here and time for a dip in the pool!

Sally.

A lot of things can happen in the next 2 years to turn things around. Let's just hope those aren't costly things...

Do you have a signature, is your name to the left? Kinda odd when everyone knows who wrote it....

Technically, they need periods. But like you said, people know JFK is J.F.K - just like you knew which effect I was using and at the end of the day, it makes no difference because only a bitch would point it out.

I'm not a Democrat at all, not registered as one, voted for a Republican last time. I am from Texas, but I don't have an accent at all. And Bush does sound like a Texas hick that's got kicked by horse making him a bit slow on one side.

Let me speculate.... You're a bitch, you're such a bitch that even nice men end up being ass holes to you - and that takes a big bitch to pull that shit off, but no doubt any bitch that pulls the grammar card pretending like it makes some difference - is a serious bitch.

Hell, if you're going to open you cock holster more, let me stick my dick in it for a bit... then you can spew whatever shit about me you want and I will smile about it like your man does.

Couldn't agree more.

It was "nook-u-lar", but that's okay, you were close and I understood what you meant.

Signing a bill on a vocal promise is different than seeing whats in the bill actually gets done.

My, my, how you do go on! Almost..almost but not quite enough to cause me to blush! And that should be "assholes", not "ass holes". Damn! You can't even get your pathetic attempts at insults right! Is English a second language for you by chance?

And there I was, all cool, slick and wet from the dip in the pool with my GF and now you're trying your pitiful level best to get me all hot and bothered! Oh, Cher, my people, we don' react like that! Our BF is in the Big City for the weekend on business so the two of us might just suit up and I mean SUIT UP (A 39" inseam goes from the ground all the way up, you know!) and hit the bar in the next town over because that little burg is just full of guys like you and we have a lot of fun teasing them!

And you should smile like our man does but you never will and that knowledge will worm around in your mind like an earwig............................................ ........................

I s'pose you know what an earwig is................................................ ..................

Earwigs don't really do what the old novels say they do but the thoughts which I have implanted in whatever you have that passes for a brain will worm themselves around like an infestation of maggots, eating at you nerve endings, your thoughts and your consciousness. I want you to think of myself, tall and thin, well-endowed, long and lean with my GF; a petite, only tall enough to come just up to my nipples...........................

.........and what she does and she has a great tongue and a wonderful taste!

I want you to think of her blue eyes, her perky little boobs and her blonde hair as it ripples like a flag in the wind as we enjoy each other........................................her eyes when she comes..............

...........and you will know that you will never; not now, not ever; NEVER experience anything like it.

And you will wish for the earwig.

Sally.

When 911 happened the right were quick to blame Clinton and he wasn't president anymore. When it's a republican prez then its ok to blame the guy before u.

This is improper structure.

Is it a second language for you?

"don'" is not a word.

This is improper use of puncuation.

Further improper punctuation. Additional made up words.

"eating at you nerve endings" The proper word is "your".

Further improper punctuation.

Further improper punctuation.

Gross misuse of punctuation.

Punctuation again.

Sentence fragment.



:2 cents: Now, shut your fucking high & mighty word hole douchebag.

:thumbsup Amp.

lol, grammar Nazis irritate me. :winkwink:

Good lord, your brain is wired in backwards lady... Seriously, you need to get help. Again, it's ass holes because that's what I typed, period! If your backwards ass twisted bitch of a mind thinks it's cool, important or makes a shit to use proper English on a forum, then... you need some serious ass help.

The Headless One, try as he might, does know the difference between literary license and simple misuse of the language; the net result of plain old ignorance. If he keeps posting long enough and perhaps takes a refresher course in the language, he may learn. I doubt it though.

One must know the language well enough to be able to abuse it properly.

Sally.

Do something useful with your mouth. Stuff a cock in it.

Sorry, made a mistake there - should have said pompous twat.

In cases like this, it helps to remember that vendzilla is a Birther.
