Interesting quote from Winston Churchill:

"If you're not a liberal by the time you're 20 then you don't have a heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 30 then you don't have a brain."

Churchill was full of quotes like this. Probably one of the wisest men of his time.

Nice, couldn't have said it better myself.

how about this, if you are a conservative by age 30, you probably never had to "work" for a living, probably had your parents pay for your college and flight training, never served in the military, although you're a great hero at playing Wolfenstien, and never had to fill out a mortgage application because your parents bought your first house.

No. That's if you are a conservative by the time you're 18.

Hey FL000-
i couldnt help but to notice the quotes you had in your signature from Bush about the cropdusters and ticket counters..... What a great mind of our time. History should forget anything Churchill said. Bush's words say it all.

 

[Fly-n-high]

Toecutter,

You're reply pretty much reinforced the Churchill quote. There was nothing intelligent about it. You're reply was strictly emotional. You've got to learn to use you're brain a little more.

You're lack of emotional control could be dangerous and it could cause you to make hasty decisions.

Sounds like you've got some jealousy issues to me.

I tease him with love. I'm a big fan of his.

I cited this quote in an earlier thread but I am glad to have it cited again. The more the better.

Is it me, or is this totally backwards. In my experience, it is the young liberal that has never had to work for anything. The conservative is typically the one who has a mortgage payment and a job. That is why he/she hates to see the government tax the hell out of everything. It is the person who hasn't had a real job or a mortgage payment that doesn't feel the burden that tax-and-spend liberals place upon the working American whose champion they claim to be.

Furthermore, most military folks that I am acquainted with are conservatives. I feel like I misread that post...

Just ask yourself if you are better off with Bush in the White House than Clinton, if the answer is yes, then you probably should vote republican (with all the extra cash you have in your wallet by now), "What was that again, ohh you don't have a job anymore. Nevermind, but at least you are paying less taxes. Oh you rather have a job? Tough luck pal, why don't you go and pound dirt instead!!!"

 

[BeachBum]

never served in the military

What? I'd venture to say that 9/10 military people I know are fairly conservative.

 

[Fly-n-high]

Dieterly,

I'm not sure that I understand your logic. You're saying that the state of the economy is the result of the current administration.

I'm guessing that you didn't do well in economics 101. The economy is like a frieght train. It is takes a while to get started and it takes a while to get slowed down.

I don't care if you like Bush or Clinton. The fact is that the economy is not doing well because of events that took place during the Clinton Admministration and Bush was unfortunate enough to "inherit" it.

When the economy tanks you must look back a few years. When this economy tanked the "look back" put us in the latter part of the Clinton Administration.

This isn't a political statement. It's a fact. We were never better off under Clinton.

Ever consider that Clinton may have had something to do with putting us in this situation. I mean if the Commander-in-Chief lacks integrity and has a compulsion to lie why should the CEO of Enron act any different?

Is there a difference between "I never has sex with that woman" and imaginary revenues? I don't think so!

Lets see

"how about this, if you are a conservative by age 30, you probably never had to "work" for a living, probably had your parents pay for your college and flight training, never served in the military, although you're a great hero at playing Wolfenstien, and never had to fill out a mortgage application because your parents bought your first house."

I consider myself a conservative, so lets see if your assessment rings true.

I have had a job since I was 13

I paid for every penny of my college education (actually, I am still paying every penny for my college education)

I paid for every penny of my flight training with a lot of help from Uncle Sam (see below).

Served eight years in the USMC reserve.

I do not know what wolfenstien is.

Happy home owner.

Sorry, no truth to your indepth analysis.

Re: Lets see

Now that is tragic.

Just like Dieterly's other recent post about Republicans, this leads us back into a previous discussion. Some of these thread topics are becoming "old friends". Some newcomers may profit from them, though.

If by "better off" you mean monetarily, I'm about the same. I'm earning less than 17k per year, and I'm currently out of a job, which is similar to the six months of unemployment I had under Clinton. "Fly-n-high" wisely pointed out that economic policy is not instantaneous. Clinton inherited an economy that had been in recession and was ready to have the greatest runup in history. How fortunate for him, eh? I changed from being a Democrat to signing up for becoming a Republican in 1994, when I had no job, no unemployment, and no money. All the Dems had to offer was hopelessness and welfare. I'd had enough of that.

The change in taxes will first impact those who make JOBS in this economy, which I do not do, and then it will find its way to ME, improving my life at the same time it improves the lives of MILLIONS of others within and without the United States.

Those who like to criticize Bush and the Republican party have very short memories for history. They NEED to. They don't have the facts on their side, so they have to resort to the illogical attacks we often see from their side of the isle, the one that was in power here for 40 years and helped to put our culture in the toilet.

Please, please, I don't want to die TRAGIC!!


What's a Wolfenstien??



Happy Birthday America!!


(Except for you pinko commie, needle d$cked, bug screwin', baby raping, liberal faggots.)

Wolfenstien is an old game. The first computer First person shooter. You played an allied agent that was trying to escape from a Nazi prison.

was that on Apple IIC? I think I used to play that one on my friend's computer in high school.

As far as being better off, I'm light years ahead of where I was 4 years ago. I don't credit Bush for my current status, and I don't blame Clinton for my former. Life is what you make of it. First and foremost, you need to acquire the best possible education that you can. After that, be able to adapt and don't let anything stand in your way.

If circumstances ever force me out of the industry, I'll go do something else for as long as I need to, and I'll be fine (just in case anyone was worried about me).

 

[ShawnC]

No that was probably Marathon.

Wolf 3D came out for the PC only I believe. There is a remake called return to castle Wolfienstien in stores now for the Xbox and PC.
