The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

I consider myself a good judge of character and good discussion.  I say Dave just make me Admin for a day.  Then I can just permaban everything that sucks about this forum and be done with it.

This is probably due to the drop off of the post 47% comment.

So you think Obama is in full collapse, Lief?

J.J., ...  Even if I don't like what I'm hearing, I keep finding myself amazed at your analysis.

Simfan, you need to start getting drunk and having fun with your socks.  Srsly bro.

Nope. Back in the days of Reagan, you could get a job, earn enough to buy a house, a car, raise a family, all without incurring debt - pay the house off and own the surrounding land.

How long until we find out he's another complex Aizen character?

Why didn't someone tell Adam Lanza that the Sandy Hook Elementary School was a gun free zone?

He clearly found out from somewhere -- not sure he would've gone in otherwise.

Where do people hear the word "theory" and learn it to be antonym of something based in fact?  It's something that's never been explained. 

I even hear pro-science groups dish out the definition "in science, a theory is not a guess but yada yada yada."    But, outside of science, the word doesn't even mean a guess.    Nobody uses the word theory to mean a guess.  Where do people learn to think of the word theory like this?  It makes about as much as if cook books dished out the disclaimer "in the world of cooking, chicken is not a vegetable."  The definition of the word is universal.

I am predicting the United States economy will create 1 million new jobs in March and April.

America truly has gone downhill when Naso's right to free speech is not given preference.

I really don't understand how you can say the economy wouldn't have been as bad in 2008. The crisis had absolutely nothing to do with tax cuts. It was due to the governments interference in the housing market via fannie mae & freddie mac. If anything the Gore economy would have been worse. Bush inherited a slumping economy that got worse because of 9/11. The tax cuts didn't take full effect until 2003, at which point, the economy picked up until the housing market bubble.

there's nothing in there that's as absurd as blaming the financial crisis on tax cuts.

If we didn't have the tax cuts, Iraq, and Medicare Part D, instead going the Gore route of lockboxing and paying down the debt, the stimulus packages could have been double in size and twice in length and scope and we wouldn't have felt a recession at all.

This thread has turned into quite the deluge of absurd, ignorant, and bad posts.

King raises a valuable point: Is pointless arguing and bickering encouraged in the Deluge? I know we don't allow it in the Comedy Goldmine or the Good Post Gallery, but it seems to make more sense here, since we are getting people to post their bad posts directly into the Deluge. Hm...

I say no.  These threads are supposed to be highlight reels.  Only the most absurd, ignorant, and worst moments.  There's too many clips of passing the ball to setup the play with convos here.
