Hahaha.....a shitload of “SOUR GRAPES” threads from Buzzy-boy since Obama won.
Still, at least you're not as bad as Garfield who chucked his toys out of the cot and left the group, because he couldn't handle the embarrassment of his nemesis wining a second term as US Prez.

You've gotta love this Letter to the Editor in today's Weekend Oz:
Having lost the election, the Republican Tea Party faction seems to believe that they should have fielded a candidate even further to the Right of the soup spoon. I'd like to ask (the ghost of) Charles Darwin a question: where were they when evolution was happening??
;D

Barak Obama inherited the GFC, and I believe he is one of the best presidents the world has ever seen!

Watch that tendency of yours to indulge in hyperbole, Matt.
True there have been duds as Presidents: Harding, Hoover, Bush, not to mention Andrew Johnson in the 1800s who was a crook. But there have been great ones too: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt (the WW2 one). I like Obama and I'm glad he was re-elected but it's a bit early to put Obama up there with Jefferson and Lincoln, don't you think?

Did you notice the greatest global stock market crash in history? It started October 9th 2007. Did you notice the Housing Bubble rupture? It started 2004 and triggered the GFC. Did you notice the GFC? Its a Global Depression. Did you notice the PIIGS? Better take a look at them, that's the future. Did you notice the presidents of the USA all get the same bad advise from the same corrupt people that caused this mess? Of course you didn't notice any of that - you are just s stupid train driver obsessed with old machinery. Boring. Life is good. My pay packet is continuing to increase by a substantial amount every year, just as it has done for decades. In about 8-10 years I may think of retiring, although I may choose to continue working part-time instead of simply pulling the plug. My housing costs are relatively static (local council rates & insurance component excepted, but I can handle those). I'm getting away taking leisure time out to indulge myself in the arts a lot more than I used to. I even got back into actually taking part in musical arts this year (after a break from it for many years), and I got paid well for it. The one big thing that really would upset me would be if the Wairarapa fault (which is only a kilometre from my place) ruptured. So I'll tell you what, Buzzy-boy....I'll leave you to do all the panicking about recessions and fiscal cliffs and housing bubbles and nasty diseases while I choose to enjoy life. In another ten or twenty years, I will still be enjoying life (provided I haven't karked it, or ended up with dementia) whereas you will probably be locked up in a rubber room with your brain burnt out due to continually loading it up with too much negativity and sad-sack dogma. |

People switch off jeremaiads, Buzz. The Hebrews had Jeremaiah, the Trojans had Cassandra. Caesar had the seer who warned him against the Ides of March while Caesar was being the god Jupiter for a day during his Triumph through the streets of Rome. They were all dismissed and disregarded, and, yes, the sticky end that they predicted did come to pass. But they didn't help?? Maybe it had something to do with their delivery ...  |
