Quote from Exile

acknowledging profit within one sector of the goverment's financial activity is not the same as claiming a federal budget surplus.

we're talking about bailouts, which have generated a net profit of about 64 billion dollars according to this list. the government invested funds into companies which needed it, mostly banks as a result of the financial crisis, and nearly all of it has been repaid with interest. what leg has the middle class lost here? what are you talking about?

"the effects of the bailouts are irrelevant, the issue is the greedy practices that led to their need, and if not greed then utter incompetence. If only to reiterate my stance, that asking for 15 mil is pretty mundane" was my initial response, but then I realized two important things:
This is the chat thread and I've got a shit load of things to do. (I'm not dismissing anyone's argument or anything, but I was just playin a lil devil's advocate, I was neither ready for nor expecting a "debate"
Thus this is my new, more proper response:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

welp. alright.

so uh how about that local sports team huh? what a display last night

So, I got checked out today and I was told that I don't have rheumatoid arthritis, I'm just developing several types of osteoarthritis. So, I guess that's a win? Maybe?

To anyone that liked Skins UK, I suggest watching the Australian film '2:37' (2006). Watched it again today and noticed that they cover a lot of similar themes. If you've seen the movie Elephant, 2:37 is like that albeit more realistic, and I think with a better message.

I believe that is a win, in a way. See Osteoarthritis is not an autoimmune disease, unlike rheumatoid arthritis. So you can feel better knowing the fact that your immune system isn't fucked up. How do I know all this? Obviously, because I'm Asian.

Looks like I'm getting better at using the 21st century's most powerful tool eh Arch?

I know rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. I have diabetes, which is why it was a worry. My immune system is still fucked up.

Thanks for trying to be cheerful though, it's nice.

Randall Munroe, you magnificent bastard, I still remember your Click-and-Drag comic. Now you've outdone yourself with this interactive game

Now go forth and explore outside the play area.

RWBY sucks.

Well that's certainly an opinion.

RWBY sucks.

I wont say it sucks, but it's a little contrived, almost generic.

Then you don't know shit because that show was good.

Quote from Phaser

Skins is corny as fuck , if that show never existed there would definitely be less emos in the UK

There are no emos in skins though lol.

your right self loathing , glorified drug abuse and stereotypical adolescent apathetic undertones is what makes skins the happy go lucky sitcom we all love

You think with all the adventuring and karate screaming Link does he'd have less chub face.
