LOL - Why don't you bother to educate yourself if you're so freaked out about it?

Seriously? All your hysteria, just because I said this? And yet you even missed the point!

There is little more hysterically funny than someone who doesn't like something you say, and argues that you should prove your opinion is wrong and they are right! LOL ... OMG ...



Hint: look up the definition of "first world country", and what factual parameters are used to measure that. Then post where we are, compared to the other first world country in those parameters, and get back to me.

But really, my comment was referring to the platform differences between the Republican and the Democratic parties. Sorry you missed that and went off an a screaming tangent.

You realize Ireland's unemployment rate is above 20 plus percent?

We should be like Germany. They are the one shining star in the EU. Coming close to the goal of taking over Europe without a single shot this time...

United States: 1830 or 2030. Pick one.

You realize WHY those countries are dying? Is it because of the Bush tax cuts? Or Haliburton? Or their unfunded wars in Iraq?

It is because they overspend their way out of trouble, ie our current administration. Maintaining services they could not afford. Just like we are going to be.

You realize that I am talking about the factual defining measures that make up a first world country, how we are already far behind in those parameters and have been for some years, and yet the GOP wants to move us ever backwards?

Do you realize the current Republican party is anti-women, anti-gay, anti-citizens of color, anti-immigrant, anti-education, anti-Medicare, anti-Social Security, anti-religious freedom for others, anti-environmental protection, anti-science, anti-labor, anti-worker, anti-help for poor or elderly, anti-current laws enabling freedom for others they don't like, and that they are intent upon repealing it all and taking us back to the 1800's?

Geeshus effing cripes. Go look up what a "first world country" is on Wikipedia, see how it is defined, see where the USA falls within those parameters, and get back to me if you want to "debate" what I said.

The first thing you said what that we have more illegal aliens than the population of some other countries, and you've not gotten remotely any closer since.

Want to try again: I said, "Obama-Biden 2012, baby. Plus sweep of the Senate and House by Independents and Dems. Pull this country kicking and screaming, out of the hands of the anti-everything loons, and into the 21st century with the other big countries"

This is your second response (no answer) to the question of whether you knew what the unemployment % is in Ireland (it's pretty high).
Wiki is the definer of first world nations, copy. I will go and check that infallible resource to learn what some guy thinks first world means and where we stand in his opinion.
Well played.

Whinging away isn't a very good debate strategy. Once more:

I said, "Obama-Biden 2012, baby. Plus sweep of the Senate and House by Independents and Dems. Pull this country kicking and screaming, out of the hands of the anti-everything loons, and into the 21st century with the other big countries"

Now: if you want to debate that we are better off now than the "big countries", which I explained I meant as being "first world countries", as measured by "first world parameters", go head. Post your data and argument.

If you want to argue that the current GOP is not the following, as I explained, and is not intent upon taking us back to the 1800's as a country, go ahead: anti-women, anti-gay, anti-citizens of color, anti-immigrant, anti-education, anti-Medicare, anti-Social Security, anti-religious freedom for others, anti-environmental protection, anti-science, anti-labor, anti-worker, anti-help for poor or elderly, anti-current laws enabling freedom for others they don't like.
