Hiyas Nash!

Oddly enough my friend, our little company has done wonders in regards to education...the property taxes from working americans fund those schools which teach the youngsters...in regards to health....the income from new jobs and the growth of existing companies have provided health benefits and paid for indigent care for those without insurance...in regards to welfare...those who at one time could not find a job, now have more choice in todays job market than ever before. As a matter of fact, it is an employees job market unlike in the past.

In response to you, I never stated that our booming economy was the sole factor in helping the underpriviledged. However, all of these wonderful social concerns you speak of are not solved by good will alone...cash and its availability along with the charity of our neighbors gets it done.

I cannot speak to how Canada solves its social problems, but I can tell you that the state of US economy directly relates to the opportunity for education, health care options and the general welfare of our citizens. Note: I said opportunity...we are not socialist

But, back to my original post, as I said...

 "I wait for a specific Non-Republican, Clinton/Gore original thought or policy which would have impacted my company or the US economy in general"

I eagerly await your detailed response

Nash, I wasn't shouting at all. I would merely point out that if you are going to grab statistics for a particular group it is useful to compare it to another group to see if the rate of rise was similar- in this way you see if progress is really occuring, or if you are maintaining the status quo.

You laid some figures down for the minorities and I didn't dispute them. Knock that chip off your shoulder!  

As for this "'Bush is a dick!' 'No, Clinton is a dick'" type argument, I am not going to get involved again. Both sides are entrenched and not listening to each other anyway. There is no longer anything to be gained by the debate except rancor. Besides, you guys know how I feel about it, why bore you? Some think I am right, some think I am too stupid to know what I think, and the truth is probably in the middle.  

In fact, I think this is where I bow out for good from the AH scene. About the only time I come to anything related to AH anymore is on this OT board, and with the conclusion of the election I don't have much interest in coming here to hash the past or the future. I am not angry with anyone, but my connect situation went south a long time ago and I can't play anyway. Hell, even logging on to this board can take several minutes, and I am on an ISDN line!

So, to those who I've met and known, to those I have argued with, to those that are just butt-ugly *cough-Mighty-cough*... the best of luck in the sim. Hope it continues to grow!

Kieren  - I know you've probably tried everything, but...

One of my squaddies is on cable, Roadrunner I think, and his connection was just horrible. So he went to dial-up for AH and it worked great for him. This might not be a great option for you, but perhaps.

Don't be a stranger here! You're a royal pain in the ass, Kieren, but yer a damn good guy  

Cheers, best of luck, and I know we'll butt heads sometime down the road  

<S!>

ps. Ice - I'll get back to ya, I'm just home from work now and am decompressing with a cold beer. Gonna be tough trying to get by your "original idea" qualifier... but I'll give it a go

You know what? Screw this. Nash it finally dawned on me that you really don't care about what you are talking about all you want to do is stir things up.

I was so wrapped up in my dislike for Gore that I fell for your BS.

My final comment is this, in my opinion Clinton/Gore are both liars and traitors and the country is a far better place without them. I just hope that Clinton doesn't screw us to bad before he leaves. And I hope they nail his bellybutton after he is out of office.
I have been reborn a new man!

Notice I never said a better man.

Excuse me? If I didn't give a toejam I wouldn't bother spending my time on this board. I care enough to at least try know what I'm talking about, <cough> Mighty.

If you disagree with my views, I must be just trying to "stir things up". Gee... where have I heard that one before?

It's been fascinating here, and I've learned tons from guys like Toad and Fatty... lotsa other folks. Hell, in one single post Ice came here and shed way more light on the issue than ten of  your "duh I don't know, YOU tell me...or Udie... hell anyone... cuz..uh... I dunno" posts.

My BS?

Perhaps you'd prefer it if I posted 'Mighty' style, and called Bush a poopy head. You aint got nuthin' to say beyond that, and ya never did. Ya *still* never did come up with some basis for saying Clinton did nothing for the poor. Why?

Cuz your the classic drive-by poster; spraying the board with frustrated, hate driven nonsense, and leave the onus of clarifying your points up to anyone but yourself.

Ciao

Will Bush over-rule the USA Generals, dump the beret and make stetsons the official USA (United States Army) head gear?
