His post the in global warming thread sort of proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he is stupid.

My money's on Romney but this election has no impact on me. I simply want to see Maddow/Angry Ed/ Maher's head explode.

Being governor of one of the most liberal states and still having a decent approval rating probably does though.

Being good with numbers doesn't make you able to run a business and have a strong understanding of economics.

There are plenty of people who are good with numbers and dollars but there are very few who could be successful in different environments with completely different situations.

Unlikely. Remember there are people who spend time watching Angry Ed. Here is his base

Because private equity is probably one of the most challenging fields in business to succeed and it takes a strong analytical understanding of pretty much every industry and worldwide. This is just my personal opinion but being able to acquire and re-tune businesses to make them profitable is difficult and very impressive. That being said, I think he knows what he's doing and if he starts listening to the chatter, he'll throw his path off course.

Despite your quips about him, Romney is probably one of the smartest men to run for office based simply on his resume. He knows what he's doing and if he starts listening to the talking heads about how to approach certain situations, he could kiss the presidency goodbye. Like a good coach, you don't listen to the fans.

But what is Mitt hiding!!!

It was like he was looking in a mirror.

The one that makes you want to yell out, "say hello to my little friend."

I agree but I think jtsp's response was idiotic since many gang members here get their hands on some pretty !@#$ed up weapons even as it is impossible for me to even carry a weapon.

You know here in Canada gun laws are very strict. Certainly keeping the gun violence down from gangs http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Crime/2012/07/17/19994691.html http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/colorado-shooting-victim-survived-toronto-eaton-centre-shooting-1.886613 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawson_College_shooting

And how do they decide where it is close...

bull ****. He acts like a !@#$ing twat and then gets pissed when people laugh at him.

And it looks like less are donating this time around. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0712/78833.html

Right chump. He's losing his mind.

There is still some silver lining. I frequent and lurk quite a few forums on different topics and this one seems to have some decent discussions that sometimes get hijacked but are still rather decent. Many forums are just awful.

Look at the level of discourse that is also enhanced by the 24 hour wall to wall news coverage and the social network revolution. It's sad when discussions are effectively broken down into keywords to match the attention span on the average person whether it be in America, Canada or Europe. I brought this up in another thread but one of my favorite discussion panels I've ever seen is Milton Friedman's Free to choose, not simply because I agree with him but because he invites the opposition to come on his series and challenge him without being rude, or simply pushing talking points. There is actual debate from both sides. That **** doesn't exist anymore.

People get the leaders they deserve.

Can the board really afford another paver?

Now that you know our secret plan, we must get rid of you.
