Can someone please tell me what exactly Barack Obama has done?!?
I might get some bear stopper for my wife. She could never shoot an animal, let alone a person. I think she'd be a real bitch with a can of bear stopper though.

There needs to be incentive for me to work more and continue to contribute tax base for you to feed off of. Otherwise I'll just retire and clip coupons. And then you little greedy bastards will get zero. At the highest progressive tax rates, you barely get to keep 50% of the money you earn. At that rate I become very inclined to say it's just not worth it, and I've got enough.
JH, are you trained in using that loaded pistol? Do you practice shooting? If you keep a loaded pistol in your bedroom with the safe dial set one number from opening, how are you gonna keep your kids from accidentally hitting the right number, opening the safe and finding a loaded gun to play with? You've seen the reports on home invasions, have you seen the ones about the kids shooting each other with their parents' guns? The parents usually thought the kids couldn't get at the weapons until they had already played cops and robbers with them.Quote:

From the Brady campaign:Quote:
In a single year, 3,012 children and teens were killed by gunfire in the United States, according to the latest national data released in 2002. That is one child every three hours; eight children every day; and more than 50 children every week. And every year, at least 4 to 5 times as many kids and teens suffer from non-fatal firearm injuries. (Children's Defense Fund and National Center for Health Statistics)

The stories in this one are really sad...
Just think it through.Quote:
Simply put: guns kept in the home for self-protection are more often used to kill somebody you know than to kill in self-defense; 22 times more likely, according to a 1998 study by the Journal of Trauma.2
More kids, teenagers and adult family members are dying from firearms in their own home than criminal intruders. When someone is home, a gun is used for protection in fewer than two percent of home invasion crimes.3 You may be surprised to know that, in 1999, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report, there were only 154 justifiable homicides committed by private citizens with a firearm compared with a total of 8,259 firearm murders in the United States. Once a bullet leaves a gun, who is to say that it will stop only a criminal and not a family member?
To be honest, I don't think the Obama campaign themselves could tell you what Obama has done, at least of any significance.Quote:

So, to answer your question, Obama has done jack-squat.
You're the only one here stealing my tax dollars while advocating a more fair tax system while also trying to get out of paying every cent he can on his tax return with the rest of his life already paid for in full. Maybe you should use that free money from the government to start your campaign to stop free government handouts. You'd be like the Robin Hood of Stupidity.Quote:

Maybe some lifts for your shoes, no?
And for fucks sake do not get a gun. Ever. You are the case study of why people shouldn't buy guns for home protection.
I thought he was kidding at first. When I reread his post, I realized he probably wasn't. I love guns and fully advocate gun ownership and responsible use, but I cannot believe people, with kids no less, still think like this.Quote:

Funny how taking care of your kids all day is such hard work yet us working folk don't have the time to play video games like you do!
You don't know anything about me, so don't make idiotic statements. I hope for your kids sake your wife doesn't leave you, but I simply do not see that happening.
I think Obama's followers see him as a talented as a charismatic guy with potential for greatness. I think they are focused more on what he can do in the future than on what he has done in the past. The fact that he doesn't have much experience in Washington isn't a problem for them because they see experienced pols like Clinton and McCain as symptomatic of what is wrong with Washington.Quote:

And the reason I go off about stay-at-home parenting is not because it's horrific and not rewarding. It's because of moronic statements like this one that assume that if you're home all day with little children, you have nothing better to do than play video games. Like if something needed to be done, my ex used to say to me, "well you ARE home" as if my being here made my day a la-dee-dah walk in the park. It's not horror-movie material and, the rewards are immense--nothing replaces your 3-year-old explaining to you how to read, but it's damn hard work, mentally draining (I've never heard of a case of executive brain rot) exhausting 24/7 on call WORK. I hope when you have your four kids that you come to realize that your wife makes so much more money than you do that it makes sense for you to stay home with them because if you care about the little rug rats at all you'll realize that having one of their parents home is so much better FOR THEM that one of you should make the sacrifice (odd phrase they use for that isn't it) and stay home with the kids. You will care enough for them to do that for them, won't you? (Here's a hint, your kids will appreciate a ton more having you there than they will the extra money you'll bring in.)Quote:

I would have a lot more respect for Skin if he wasn't on here an equal amount during the day as I was. He cannot talk about how hard his job is when he surfs the internet all day. I admit to surfing for several hours a day and my job is a piece of cake.
Yeah, Joe hit the nail on the head. It's not what he has done, it is what he is capable of doing. Or at least what we think he is......Quote:

However, he's got a helluva chance and that's a lot more than I can say for the other candidates out there.

Now go get some sleep. You've got a tough day tomorrow. Fighting off violent bums, building imaginary social networks, "working," "learning," growing taller, buying guns, etc. etc.
One other question. If I don't "say anything that makes sense," why do you get so worked up about it?
I would have more respect for you if you weren't here as much spewing idiocy, but I guess some of us can't get everything we want can we? I guess it's just because I'm not applying myself.Quote:

I guess it's too bad for you that I can only get my rocks off here, imagining Harlan's deep sexy voice and your 5 feet 11 inches of manliness.
Sadly this blind hope is sweeping the nation. Personally, I feel sorry for any of the secret service agents that will be asked to protect him.Quote:

If he's shot it will be because of what he stands for and what this country stands for, not the color of his skin.Quote:
