You could get confused when you think it all has to be one way or another. (As you're being told by politicians and social media - the (2) least trustworthy sources of all. With lawyers being a close 3rd.)

Business is great. It drives our economy, except that corporations can and do lie/cheat/steal. Especially when they have teams of accountants and lawyers on the payroll who make sure they avoid having to do things like pay their fair share of taxes.

Government is also great. Ours has made us the greatest country in the world, except that it is also filled with politicians who are more interested in profiting from their positions than they are in serving the people that elected them.

It's not about you being silly. It's about you being wrongheaded about what "they" think.

If you hate business, you're an idiot. If you hate government, you're an idiot.

Nothing good comes from hate. It's the hate that is the very center of the problem. Assigning hate doesn't help.

 

Then why do you constantly spew it??

Gas prices were right around $3 a gallon just shot up 25 cents overnight. When was it $1.97 again?

Sound like a constant spewing of hate to you? Hmmm... time to toughen up little bird.

There's no hate here unless you think my use of the word "idiot" somehow equates to hate?

It was only used in one sentence. Find it and read that sentence again and then stop and think for yourself. What groups were I targeting in that sentence?

Hate is a terrible thing. But, before you decide to be the judge of hate, you'll need to learn what it actually looks like.

LOL...you crack me up...I am beginning to think you are a bipolar poster...one minute you try and lecture people on maturity and civility and then turn around and post some of the most immature and uncivil name calling posts on these boards. 

And I am sorry, based on your posting history you are the last person who should be lecturing anyone about hate and its definition.

...or maybe you should be the FIRST person to try to learn about hate and its definition so you can use it correctly.

And, further, maybe learn about how all conversations aren't the same - I already posted about that in the 'due process' thread below.

You are obviously a young person. You seem to think the world is so much simpler than it really is. And that's OK. Just realize that you have a lot to learn - and then get after it. And you'll be fine.

  You didn't address what I even said...first you try and lecture me again on what hate is and then you just tried to deflect by saying babble babble...not the same...babble babble.

Also, I can guarantee I am more than likely older than you.  Evidence No. 1 = you think your constant "banter"=arguing with people and your immature name calling in posts is somehow an indication of how mature you are...would love to hear how you square that one.

Was weird the other night (Thursday). Hopped a bridge to go have dinner in another town.  Gas station right before the bridge was at 2.89 on my way out of town (around 4:30).  Came back in a little before 10:00 and was 3.52.  I don’t remember seeing gas this volatile on a day to day basis.
