I hear you. I think it's just a question of where do we go if it does collapse? What could replace it ya know?
Retirement at 50 would be doing well if this shit keeps up man.
Communism.

I'm considering starting to buy small amounts of gold coins each month.

I'm pretty sure we didn't rig it. At least nobody told me.

Romney isn't needed for a war with Iran. Obama capable of continuing the US foreign policy direction of the 2000s. Been doing it since 2008 and will continue to do so until 2016.
Obama will win. I cant stand the guy but I'm voting for him and I'm not the only one. When a portion of your haters will vote for you, your reelection is pretty much a lock.
No, he's not needed for the war itself, but I could see some wanting him for the symbolic effect. Fundamentalist christian, gay hating, capitalist loving, "real american" bombs muslim country - would certainly go a long way in cementing the United States image as the bad guy.
Obama is a lock for the popular vote of course. As you said, and you're not the only right leaning guy I've seen giving their vote to Obama. Everywhere I go there's a clear favor for him. So if Romney's gonna win I reckon it has to be a fix. Guy's a nut tbh, and he's far less apt in hiding it compared to Mr. Teleprompter Elect.
How likely do I think that is? I'd bet a 100, but not a 1000.

Nah, he's not into that stuff. He only told me cause the guy seemed so sure about it. And I wouldn't bet my life on the Iran thing, but if there's a fix I'd expect somebody at the oil companies to know about it. Just like everybody knew the US was going into Iraq when I was in the military back in 2002.

Seemed like an Obama lock until very shortly. Was surprised when papers in the last week were starting to talk about close. Then I talked to a buddy working in the gulf. He's met a few americans there (15-20 guys from Exxon/BP, mid management types I suppose, him being an engineer) and apparently all of them were sure of a Romney victory. Not in the sense they support Romney, but in the sense that's what they'd heard was going to happen.
And today I see the news announcing that Wall Street is for Romney, like they were for Obama and Bush in the last elections. With that kinda support I gotta shift my stance. If they really want it, they'll get it. It's not like at least the last couple of elections weren't rigged.
One of those americans told him another thing, after a few beers too many. War with Iran is a lock, and that's why they're bringing Romney in.

Some good stuff last night. The scene with James Cromwell at the society club was one of the best of the entire series. You need latin to properly describe the gravitas and auctoritas of that man. Now that's an actor.
Buscemi had some stuff to work with this time, and the explosion scene was very well done. Seeing a norwegian independence day parade where they actually speak and pronounce the language correctly was also a rare touch. If anyone wonders that means this episode was supposed to take place around May 17th.
Still, that's only around 15-20 mins of script. The rest was predictable soap. And that Capone storyline is starting to get a little exposed. Until history allows for him to come more into his own, he's apparently there to beat up guys once in a while, whereupon (coincidence?) he has little moments where he grows as a man. Yeah, I'm sure Al Capone was a real sweetheart in real life.
#3298 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Guns N’ Roses Residency: 5 Tips If You’re Considering Going » 706 weeks ago
3. Solo songs make for smart bathroom breaks. Five separate times during the show, Rose introduces a member of his band—specifically, in order: Richard Fortus, Tommy Stinson, Dizzy Reed, DJ Ashba and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal—exits the stage and leaves that musician in control for one number. The numbers range from terrible (Bumblefoot's "Glad to Be Here") to acceptable (Stinson's "Motivation"), but are all momentum-sapping indulgences and none qualifies as a must-see.
Lol. Cutting right to the bone.
Pretty good guide.
#3299 Re: Guns N' Roses » Burton Cummings Axl/RRHOF Reference » 706 weeks ago
So yeah, in a weird way -- this was all Slash's fault.
Not really anyones fault, I agree, but yeah he did leave the band. That's fine and all if you're tired of it like Izzy, but Slash was clearly using it as an ultimatum to Axl. Which is why he's bitched so much about it after the fact.

Yeah, there's some good characters. Capone, Luciano, Lansky, Rothstein, Masseria, That guy that played Butchie on the Sopranos. Even Gyp Rosetti is entertaining though it's so obvious he's there just to be killed off.
But somehow they prefer spending time doing some Owen Wilson drama plots with the lesser characters.
