Edited by: Herr Wilkus on 05/09/2011 23:36:38 While the organizations they run vary in size and scope, their autocratic leadership styles since 2009 are quite similar, and are leading to similar results. Massive FAIL in 2012. Both leaders equally deluded about the future.
Obamacare: "This new socialized medicine system will be awesome. Everyone will be covered, but don't worry, if you are a bitter clinger that likes your current health care plan, you can keep it." (LOL)
Incarna: "This is going to be the total sci-fi package. Rumors of MT are overstated. No plans for non-vanity MT"
Obamacare: You'll love it so much that failure to participate could land you in jail for up to 5 years. US Constitution? Supreme Court? What, me worry?
Incarna: You'll love the CQ (and NeX) so much, you'll never miss the more practical, convenient hangar view. In fact, we'll take it away completely. That will teach the naysayers who refuse to pay for monocles.
Obama on US Economy: "We could fix it, only if we had more money to spend (on more well-connected bankrupt solar panel manufacturers). Hey, Bernanke, lets borrow more money from the Chinese and then debase the US Dollar some more.
Hilmar on EVE: "We could fix it, if only we had more money to spend (buy our monocles and devalued bulk PLEX, plz."
Unemployment in Jan 2009: 7.7% Obama in 2009: "Now our administration is 'pivoting to the unemployment issue'" Obama in 2010: "Check out my new jobs plan when I get back from my fabulous vacation." Obama in 2011: "Check out my new jobs plan when I get back from my fabulous vacation." Unemployment today: 9.2%
EVE Devs: No new spaceships until 2013. "18 months"
Hilmar: "Watch what they do, not what they say." Large # of Eve Players: Unsubbing, see ya on the other side.
Obama: "I'd vote for myself. I think I've made a lot of good decisions." Gallup Approval: 38% Gallup Disapproval: 52% Small Business owners: C-Ya, moved to Texas - (where 50% of all new private sector US jobs were created last year)
Obama is a one-term president, and he probably knows it. He can't win an election on the black vote alone. The US will survive and Obama will be remembered as an unqualified 'affirmative action' president.
Can Hilmar keep CCP afloat through 2012? EVE cannot sustain itself on fanboi subscriptions/monocles alone.
EDIT: When I say 'going down in flames' I don't mean literally. I mean metaphorically. Please don't ban me like Helicity/send the Secret Service after me.

I'm making a clever comparison between the soon-to-be-unemployed/bankrupt management of EVE and the soon-to-be-fired management of the USA.
You are pretty thick if you couldn't pick up on that.
But mainly I want plenty of angry subjects on the front pages of the forums before they are frozen.

Edited by: N1gella Laws0n on 05/09/2011 23:55:31 I get it. You want insurance companies to deny you medical care to make profit instead of a government denying you medical care to pay for fire trucks. That's fine, you could have the freedom to choose who denies you your healthcare, but you don't seem to want freedom.

On the other hand, this forum has 'died' once before. Based on the 'quality' of the new forum, this one might be with us for some time.

I saw one applying the concepts and past lessons of economics to a situation that began 20-25 years before he took office. BTW I'm Canadian and well educated about the current situation if you guys weren't ultra conservative in how you allow business to act you wouldn't be as ****ed as you are right now. But I suppose it's easy to spend more than you have and blame somebody else right? Also with your current health care system and change in population age distribution your pay to win health care is ****ed to.
I saw the other try to sell barbies to grown men. I'd call him a moron but I'll assume it's just him using us to beta test for WoD.

Yeah, because Obama is all about spending less than we have. Last I checked it was the Tea Party/Republicans that were proposing to balance the budget, and Obama/Dems obstructing in favor of unrestricted spending. Texas is 'supposedly' an unregulated ****hole, yet for some reason its the only part of the US where large numbers of private sector jobs are created. California and Illinois....on the other hand.....
But keep on living in your dream world.

You mean Canada? We didn't let the banks do something stupid. BTW in the last major depression you guys killed government spending and it turned out to be the worst choice possible. I'll make this very simple for you. The government is spending money on what? Mostly wages for people and products produced by people. The banks loan money to other people. If the banks stop loaning money and the government stops giving people money the people become poor. The people don't have money so the people don't buy things then everybody is ****ed. If the government spends money to keep the people from going broke it plans on recovering the money in the future and causing less harm than it would if it let everybody starve.
TL:DR Your solution to Americans being broke is to give Americans less money.

Not going to take a position on the OP but I would love to know where the racism comes in...please explain for those of us that don't speak your particular dialect.
Was it the term "black vote" or "affirmative action" that put it over the top in your mind? Is any time you speak of the American president in negative terms, because he is black, racism?
If American blacks condemn a white American president is it also racism? Does political affiliation matter? What happens if a white leftist speaks ill of a black conservative? What if it is left on left or right on right?!?!
Explain please...
Thank you

First off, Obama will likely be reelected because his opponents have failed to come up with a candidate who stands a ghost of a chance of getting the undecided vote.
Second off, fail comparison is fail.

To all the 'fantasy-based' Obama fans who claim that 'Obama wins by default' because Republicans have no chance:
When things are bad enough - for long enough - it really doesn't REALLY matter who the Republicans nominate.
Why all the East-Coast NYT-editorial panic about Rick Perry? Liberals will never admit the obvious - that Obama is just plain wrong - simply illiterate when it comes to business/economy issues. But even 'libruls' know, deep down, that Obama is historically weak, and getting weaker every day. John Boehner owns the President's ass in a way Gingrich never could do back in the 90's.
But Obama is even weak enough to lose to another 'Texas cowboy', except this one actually attended Texas A&M instead of the Ivy League.
We can't really compare educational background, however - as Obama STILL hasn't released his own university grades/writings. Kind of suspicious for one so 'brilliant'. My guess? He was a 'D' student, riding the affirmative action/diversity gravy train all the way into Harvard. He's scared to release them, like every other US Presidential candidate IN HISTORY!!
Oh, and an interesting fact - Rick Perry used to be a Texas Democrat. And he actually backed Al Gore for a presidental run back in 1988. Going to be hard to paint him as an ideologue.

HAHA. Thats funny. You've got it backwards. Maybe YOU don't care - but 6 months out of the year I live in Europe, 2004 and 2008 elections inclusive. I read the papers.
Trust me, Europeans care about American politics. Last I checked, most of them know about a previously obscure hockey-mom governor named Sarah Palin.
Its Americans that don't give a crap about European politics, and proudly couldn't name a single EU head of state.

There are arguments made by the republican potential candidates that are good, and I somewhat agree with (fiscal responsibility, ect). However, much as I may agree with these arguments, many facets of these candidates social views I find offensive in the extreme (notably views on homosexuality being an abomination, an outdated viewpoint in a country where the majority of the population believes gays deserve equal rights.) While they make good points, other aspects of their political stances ensure that I (and a good portion of independents) would never vote for them.
Simply put, it's not their economic policies that are un-electable, but their social ones.

2012 in America will be all about the fiscal, from what I have seen from looking at polls etc. For better or worse people vote their wallet.

Interesting use of words. Honestly in regards to CCP - I think it is the bitter vets who are going to be the down fall of Eve. Group Think multiplied by the Trolls who look for their time in the lime light by shooting down others.
No New Ships till 18 Months. This is a Level headed statement. Unlike other MMOs, CCP want the current ships to remain useful and obsolete because of the last expansion.
Watch what they do vs what they say - Meant to be an internal memo - a level headed response to- Eve is more vocal than other people and are easily excited. Some people have strong opinions and have burnt out from the game. Instead of moving on they want to make unfocused changes, some who are no longer even relavent. here we go again! |

Interesting. As it is the economic policies that are invariably going to have the greatest effect on your life. I like having a job, do you? I like low taxes. I liked not having to take annoying 'green activists' seriously, just walk away and leave them to their hacky-sacks and dreads.
Gay marriage, eh, one way or the other, doesn't affect me. Energy policy does. Over-regulation of resource extraction industry does.
William Buckley Jr. wrote a great column many years ago. Effectively, he said that even if liberals WORST fears about social conservatives like Pat Robertson came true - IE, not only elected but also able to unilaterally set policy - we'd likely end up with a country that isn't all that much different than 1950's America...which, minus Jim Crow, wasn't all that bad.
Worst I can think of? Blue laws might make a comeback. Prayer in schools. Restriction on the sale and distribution of pron. Abortion and gay marriage would be out.
YAWN, pretty tame stuff if you ask me, hardly worth all the panic, and I'm hardly a 'social conservative'.
Socialists like Obama, if they were allowed to have their way... (ie, have the Tea Partiers rounded up and disposed of) - want to radically change the economy of the country, 'spread the wealth' - lead us away from individual liberty/responsibility - and towards collective salvation. Screw that noise.

Racism does exist and it can be a terrible and violent situation (whatever race it effects). The term is cheapened by overuse.

It is similar to referring to the ...white vote...women's vote...Jewish vote...hispanic vote...union vote...goon vote...gay,lesbian and transgender vote...
I think you have to dig a little more to justify the "racist" accusation...just my opinion.

Bro, we get it, you got laid off and all you have left is Eve to play. Get mad some more.
*goes and gets more popcorn*
LOL. Wrong, its Labor day. First time I've had two consecutive days off since 4th of July. But don't you worry, still employed, working 80-90+ hours a week. I do more before 8AM than you do all day.
Why do I do it? Simple, millions of Obama voters are relying on me for their welfare checks and food stamps. Would hate to see them starve.

The only thing reduced here was my estimate of your IQ. Please continue to illumine us with your analysis of American politics. You managed to get just about everything incorrect in such a limited amount of space, I would love to see what you could do with a treatise.
Do continue I think the moderators have the night off...

I guess if I still have time before the lock, I may as well take advantage to post my two ISK.
1. Republicans suck ass. 2. Democrats suck balls. 3. Neither sucking ass nor sucking balls is a good position to be in. 4. Whenever the R's and the D's face stiff competition from the I's, they do everything they can to prevent the I's from succeeding. Kind of like how Microsoft and Apple are reacting towards Google. 5. The two-party monopoly of the political system should end. The same goes for the monopoly held by the NC and DRF.
There, got that off my chest.

Confirming that Obama is terribad. Probably the worst president in my lifetime. I know you Europeans out there like him because he's running the US into the ground, thus making the EU more powerful and so on, but for those of us whose quality of life is visibly worse because of his policies, we've had enough of him.
Also confirming that this thread probably does not belong in GD.

I'm not opposed to a third party.
Nothing would make me happier than to see the Green Party grow some balls and start running more of their own candidates in the general elections.

Originally by: Herr Wilkus Edited by: Herr Wilkus on 05/09/2011 23:36:38 While the organizations they run vary in size and scope, their autocratic leadership styles since 2009 are quite similar, and are leading to similar results. Massive FAIL in 2012. Both leaders equally deluded about the future.
Obamacare: "This new socialized medicine system will be awesome. Everyone will be covered, but don't worry, if you are a bitter clinger that likes your current health care plan, you can keep it." (LOL)
Incarna: "This is going to be the total sci-fi package. Rumors of MT are overstated. No plans for non-vanity MT"
Obamacare: You'll love it so much that failure to participate could land you in jail for up to 5 years. US Constitution? Supreme Court? What, me worry?

THIS.
Somewhat worried that 'Zero'bama is going to go 'scorched earth' on the US Economy, once he realizes that he has NO chance of re-election. New insane enviro regs like mandating truck fuel efficiency at 55 MPG (I mean, why not mandate cars run on unicorn farts, for crying out loud) printing billions more dollars and calling it QE3. Amnesty for illegal immigrants via executive order. I mean, who knows how far down the rabbit hole goes?
and, yeah. I mostly expected this forum to be frozen by now, but leave it to CCP to fail to keep its promises.

I want to tell you that you just proved my original statement concerning your "abject stupidity" and then say something about giving you enough rope...blah blah blah...but I don't want to hurt your feelings anymore so I am just going to keep those feelings on the inside.
Instead I will bow out gracefully and tell you that you won.
Nicolo...I'm sorry..you were right all along. Good night.

Thanks for the advice...I would suggest you do the same or maybe just re-read my preceding post in its entirety. Thanks for the enjoyable evening Nicolo. You were lot of fun. Thanks for being such a sport.
And they say politics doesn't bring people together!
P.S. Just a quick edit to teach Nicolo another word...
I+ro+ny 1 [ahy-ruh-nee, ahy-er-] Show IPA noun, plural -nies. 1. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning and in case you missed it the first time

My sentiments exactly. Just because Obozo is a dumbass, doesn't mean I extend that sentiment to the Eve Community at large. The denizens of the Eve forums tend to be quite intelligent, even if we spend an inordinate amount of time on something as trivial as Eve. (or the forums...)

Edited by: Jada Maroo on 06/09/2011 04:43:22 The only reason Obama was elected the first time was because conservative voters weren't motivated to vote for a RINO and because guilty white people wanted to vote for the first "black" president and didn't bother examining his true polical beliefs.
Fortunately, "hope and change" won't win it for Obama next time, and people won't be guilted into voting for him twice.

The ultimate difference between Hilmar and Obama, or any American president, is that Hilmar does not work for global banksters.
I would also like to say, any private corporation is also way more productive than the US government.
We would even have to admit that CCP has brought a much better product to the world.

CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS give us brainwashed masses who want socialism. FOX/Hannity/Limbaugh give us brainwashed masses who want nationalism.
It's national socialism. Those guys who tried it from 1933 to 1945 are back in business.

100% on that! Then when troubles arise, those in charge (of either camp) "wag the dog", smoke and mirrors to deflect attention away from the real issues and on to non-existent or lesser-impact issues.
If you want to cut through all the BS when it comes to news etc, check out Al-Jazeera....

Hey, you won't get an argument from me. One thing about this internet age - you can find information about everything, from a variety of viewpoints. Just make sure your filter well cleaned.
NATO campaign in Kosovo was the final nail in my own faith in the 'mainstream' Western media. In the run-up to the '99 bombing of the Serbs/Belgrade - I remember Time and Newsweek publishing graphic, close-up images of skulls, decomposing human remains. Very family-unfriendly stuff they just do not usually print unless they want to manipulate people. In this case, they were manipulating the US public into hating Serbs and turning the Albanian Kosovars into heros, when neither party had (or has) clean hands.
Expose yourself to as many viewpoints as possible.

Are you actually comparing left-wing americans to ****s? The absurdity of the parallel is mind-numbing.
Since you apparently have trouble with history, the "national socialism" of Germany on those years was socialism only in name. The **** ideology was clearly nationalist, homophobic, antijews, and militarist. They were right-wing with a leftist name.
