You have given me zero examples showing that we are in a bad economy. What you have given me are examples showing that the economy is not as good as it once was. You're inability to understand this important distinction is why you are a moron.

Also, you're an idiot.

In my nightmare's there is always a discussion on the strength of the economy between Peter, Cajun, and JustinDew.

My dreams mainly just consist of me being eaten alive by a pack of lions.

If we didn't have the media to tell us when things are wrong, no one would be complaining.

Americans aren't capable of thinking for themselves, by and large.

LOL. I'd agree, but I'd also include you in that group.

Do you see me passing off the opinions of others as my own? Interesting. I usually get accused of the opposite around here.

That doesn't explain why he agreed to give people (some of which didn't have to pay any federal income tax this year) $300 stimulus checks. Don't you think that's a sign something is pretty fkd up? That was a pretty big step. He must have been pretty convinced the economy is fkd up.

Jocks don't usually get a horse to win, but they can keep a horse from winning. For instance, this filly that won the 6th today at Hwd (Bran Jammas.) She has shown an affinity to make a move outside of horses. Nakatani had the 5 post with her last time, but chose to keep her on the rail. That's his lazy way. He just stays in there, and hopes he gets room. He could have looked at her 2 previous races, and saw she liked to come outside of horses. As soon as her previous rider got back up, she made her nice outside move, and got the win. I think if this same jock had ridden her the last race, then she would have won by moving outside of horses. Eurton expected her to win last time. If 2 jocks make the same decisions, then yea, there is not much difference in the outcome.

Your beloved Dow is falling like a rock. All it took was a moron like you who is blind to say "Things are fine".....and baboom...dow sheds over 400 points in 2 sessions.

For a complete ignormaus you do have special powers.



Go back and read what you wrote to me. Think about it.

We went from a good economy to a bad economy. Which could only happen if things got worse. So....todays economy is not as good as the past economy.


This isnt brain surgery here you dope...common sense.

Lets try this.

2006 Economy = good= 100 justindews

now:

2008 Economy= bad= 25 justindews.....


so to go from good to bad , 2008 is not as good as 2006.

Comprende Senor Douchebag ?

No matter how much you write, you fail to address my point. Just because the economy is not as good as it was 5 years ago does not mean the economy is bad. By that logic, a horse who once ran 120 Beyer Speed Figures with regularity and is now running 100 Beyer Speed Figures is a bad horse, even though he is better than 95% of the horses in America.

Everyone who wants a job can get one. The stock market is up substantially for the past 5 years. Even the housing market is up from where it was in 2003. By every statistical measure, with the exception of the dollar, our economy is better now than it was 5 years ago. Yet you insist on making baseless statements about how bad the economy is.

You are beyond hopeless. Hopefully you dont use the same thought process when capping. If so I will be glad to take all your action.

Are you saying that it is OK to label a horse "bad" because he once ran 120 Beyers and now runs only 100? Because my thought process, which you think is hopeless, is that THAT is foolish.

You don't know what you're talking about, do you?

I'm done with this ridiculous discussion. I'll give you the last word, as long as it's something other than "the economy is bad."

Yeah...so many horses these days ran 120 Beyers.....why didnt you use a horse with a 180 Beyer who dropped to a 160 ?......nice try


Lets be realistic....

Horse : Justindewisanass

2 yr old top Beyer 90

3 yr old top Beyer 100

4 yr old top Beyer 65



Most would agree that this horse is NOW in bad shape. This is what is goin on with the economy here...a very similar dropoff.

The economy is bad

You were making good points but if you think the economy is a 65 Beyer right now you're drinking from the crazy juice.
