The shutdown affected me!
Productive people would only notice a government shutdown if during one, taxes were no longer collected.
The shutdown actually had an effect on me this weekend. We went camping. The park we were going to camp in was run by the Army Corp of Engineers so it was closed due to the government shutdown. We had to go to the next campground up, which was run by the state.

But you eventually did get to have that gay orgy in the woods you kept telling me about, right?

It conflicted with the other orgy I was already involved in. Next time though!

Sheesh... the noise you babies make...
Of course it affected you!
You are yet another of those layabouts who cannot inspect his own food supply, or test his own water, or who needs federal help to detect the progress of disease in order to keep his family from getting sick.
Next you'll be telling me you cannot negotiate your own entry into a foreign country and you want the federal assistance in getting a passport.
Try to enjoy the small government you've got for at least a month before you start your whining.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
Richard P. Feynman
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

Re: Sheesh... the noise you babies make...

But I actually noticed that the government was shut down! That was the point. He said that good people don't notice, and I hadn't noticed, until I went to that campsite.
You are yet another of those layabouts who cannot inspect his own food supply, or test his own water, or who needs federal help to detect the progress of disease in order to keep his family from getting sick.
We don't notice those things. I was responding in tune with the shutdown affecting me in a way that I'd notice.
Next you'll be telling me you cannot negotiate your own entry into a foreign country and you want the federal assistance in getting a passport.

Re: Congress FUBAR
By the way, considering the Right Wing is the one most likely to 'force' medical procedures on women, like transvaginal ultrasounds or tell couples who they are allowed to marry, are they also 'Authoritarian Socialist Pigs'?
No. When Republicans tell you what to do, they're just passing on messages from Jesus.
Or they notice when they attempt to visit a national park, renew a passport or attempt to collect social security in retirement.
Serves them right for wanting affordable health care. Who do the American people think they are? They voted the wrong way and now they must be punished.

Re: Congress FUBAR
The government has shut down 17 times since 1976, and no productive citizen even noticed.
Whereas you apparently not only noticed but also kept count.
Government shutdowns are not liked by 2 groups.
1.) people who suck a living off the work of others through taxes.
Quite.

Re: Sheesh... the noise you babies make...
Ok then the second gratest France, or the third Australia, or the fourth Switzerland, fift Germany, sixth New Zealand, Seventh Luxenbourg, then the shitty countries that made the list like say eight United States. but do you really have a net income of 37,708 $ or is that number modified by the income of the obscenely rich.

okay now I know you must be joking.

We could kick all those country's asses.
You know, the U.S. has over 300 million people spread over almost 10 million square kilometers, spanning across four time zones and eight distinct physiographic divisions.
When you start comparing country wide statistics against tiny little countries with a handful of people in one time zone and one division, you're going to get some confusion about which one is greater.
but do you really have a net income of 37,708 $
Me personally? I make more than that.

No i mean is the average about right. Cause a single person out of 300 million that earns 300 million ups the average income of all by 1 dollar. For example bill gates earns some 8 billion a year and im wondering if people like him distorted the average of the 37 k number.

Holy shit, that was funny dude.
France?!
or the third Australia
Talk to the Aussies, they hate it there.
or the fourth Switzerland
8 million people live there. That's how many people live in Manhattan alone. Manhattan is better than Switzerland.
Avergae salary in NY: $39,000
fift Germany
Too many Germans
sixth New Zealand
Talk to the Aussies, they hate that place.
Seventh Luxenbourg
I can't imagine it's better than Manhattan.
Lets face it, we're the best place to live in the world. I mean, we have Hawaii! Get the fuck outta here with Luxembourg and the French. Pfft
