Better work harder, boys!

Sure don't take much to win the peace prize anymore?

"He recieved it for being the first Black Presedent"

And IMO, love him or hate him . . .

. . . Yeaaa. :cool:

I believe, and no one involved with the process would likely say,

that, that is is reason.

Much as I love a good political debate or discussion, I have requested that the political forum be restricted to political issues directly effecting farriers or their organizations, etc....

Please respect that request.

Thanks.

Baron,

As much as I hate to disagree with you, I come here to learn not to talk politics, I have to point out that nothing The President does affects farriers anymore than his tax policies. These handouts, even though the recipients don't know it, come from higher taxes and especially higher taxes paid by small business owners.

I read a quote the other day that I think is especially appropriate to this discussion and I would like to add it on here I just wish I could remember who wrote it so I could give proper credit anyway here it is...

"A democracy will last only until the legislature realizes it can bribe the people with their own money."

As I said I can't remeber the author right now but it seems to me our legislature has realized this in last year or so.

As to the Nobel prize thing, nominations had to be in by Feb 1st and are supposed to be considered based on actions taken before the nomination. You tell me why he won it?

If you read what the Nobel committee members had to say about it, you'll see that they came out and said that it was an endorsement. There are quite a few examples where the prize has been used to encourage certain behaviors more than to reward actual accomplishment.

Put in perspective, the award is issued by Five committee members. Three of those committee members are socialists...two members of the Labour party and one member of the Socialist Left Party. Who cares what they think?

ESPN today reported that Barak Obama attended a college football game last weekend and as a result, the Heisman Trophy committee met and awarded the Prez the 2009 Heisman Trophy.

Ray, I can help here. it's a joke.

Baron,

Might I suggest that if you were serious about enforcing your ban that you would have either locked this thread or deleted it completely.

Ron, Ron, Ron

What are we going to do with you!!!:eek:

It's a tough decision. I don't want to have a bunch of senseless name calling, yet there's no doubt that the administrations economic policies will have a direct effect on everyone, including farriers. All this money being given out has to come from somewhere. The mentality displayed by the people interviewed in Detroit is very disturbing.

If this thread evolves into an actual, civil discussion on economics, that's not a bad thing. I'll be watching....

Baron made a rule. I will continue question rule to attempt to assertain the purpose behind any exceptions and to discover if there are any underlaying agenda. This is Barons world. I just want to understand it's construction.

Mike,

thanks for pointing that out, can you help me out with the reason for having a "Joke of the day" thread also.

A couple posts after your reply to me Baron made a statement in reply to I believe Ron K. about serious evolution of the thread, and previous in another post about issues directly affecting farriers, which is seeming more disengenious to me.
