i use this line to perfection

galleri couldnt take our sexuality

very good cause, please lend a moment or two everyone!!

this thread is fun and garbage-like

we have to attempt to catch all the land traders somehow :P

ZOMG cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was just there, trust me dont do it. kansas is hell in the USA

i dont even understand how you can expect we will care about pacting you mid set, weve been kind enough to make an offer for you despite it really not being in our best interest. you make it seem like its a big deal that were (and you know its not just us, not sure why were being singled out so much) grabbing a small clan, as though that never happens on this server. not trying to be rude here, but this is a game. you dont have the capability of retalling the top 2/3rds of our members, why wouldnt we take your land. sad fact of the alliance server. i hope you are foolish enough not to take our offer that is on the table, so i can continue to get fat.

at least buy some warfare tech if youre gonna fluff so much...

lolol

woohoo im famous!!!! also, most of what is being discussed here, 80% of EVO is oblivious to. KJ is not even in our tag this reset.

come to EVO bobo!!! we bang the finest fluffes!!!

the overlords dont like people who think for themselves

i agree with hanlong on something. fact.

because what is he going to be able to actually change as that one crazy guy he's always been perceived to be? if you look at some of his historic videos, he has always represented a stark contrast to popular belief, despite his caving into it.

only now, since he has brought his ideas to the forefront with his strong grassroots campaign this year, are people taking his beliefs seriously enough. it still isn't going to be enough though.

i have to agree with anon, ill second that notion, and i've even had internal struggles with slag before too.

at least when slag gets pissed about fluff, its in the name of the right thing to do. you dont see him breaking pacts with friends, or slinging dirt on AT at people who havent already been assholes.

is this the offspring of cgiboney, i am so confused.

winning. okay now lets run for congress and propose this.

I think EVOs Prez and VP have spoken well enough to end this thread and our involvement in it.

Nice-- the same should happen here in the US, but no one even knows about this one because of all the hype SOPA/PIPA rightfully got.

w00t! thats awesome, welcome back!

stay classy evo, avoid the urge to post sarcastic and bitter comments on this thread at all costs :P

apply to EVO if you want to be with the best netters

i think you misinterpretted my beliefs signifigantly. i would like to see the poor paying 0% federal income tax.

i understand the concept of marginal tax rates, but i can just never get behind such a tax rate hike. my political leaning is that we must do the opposite, and couple it with spending cuts on the other side of the balance sheet. 1 million dollars isnt even that much money anymore anyways. i hope to make that much someday, but if i was going to get taxed that high, id prolly try to find a country to work in that i wouldnt get taxed so highly. couple that with the dollar devaluation were seeing, the US would lose every last bit of competitiveness we have remaining.

not to mention its a moot point because it is unrealistic, because the people making the laws are the ones that would be paying more taxes, it would never pass.

to my point of changing our reputation, i hear that loud and clear.

candyman- i second anon here, EVOs doors are open to you. :)

qz is completely right, but there is validity to your point as well pang. i would like to see evo become a more positive influence on AT than in the past, and change our reputation a bit across the server. we are still just a bunch of treehuggers at heart.

lets be real about this here though. For a consistent number of resets we dominated ANW, and once we built our member base up around the 70's, we were taking TNW and Land too. We went from an annoyance to a threat by being larger. we will now go back to being simply an annoyance, because we've lost about half of our members from our peak a few sets ago. thats the bottom line with Evo's involvement. We wanted no part of a war with LaF, despite the banter on AT.

no ones gonna mention Workoholics? i'd say that and Always Sunny are my two faves currently running.

i'll admit my guilty pleasure is 2 Broke Girls too. i wanna have a threesome with those two so bad :P

it doesnt need to be just based on gold though, you could include an entire index of metals as a part of the dollar formula, and it could be pegged for current monetary enviroments. its not like all of the sudden the dollar would just be worthless because the US begins increasing gold/silver/platinum/etc reserves. look at what china is doing right now with their gold reserves. theres an obvious reason why theyre buying so much of it, right now, and not 10 years ago. and its not so their kids can play with shiny objects. to say gold is not a form of currency is just foolish given how fragile the global picture is right now.

were not seeing stagflation right now, because newsflash, the free market system is totally rigged and reporting is artifcial, and has been for at least 10 years now, arguably much more. inflation is an imaginary number, indexed to wage increases, has nothing to do with food/gas/medical cost increases (at least the number they show you on tv). if we looked at that real inflation number, you would see a signifigant inflation %, easily more than 5%. we wont get to the level of germany as long as there is not sheer collapse, because there will always be demand for american services. now if the economy begins to gather momentum for say 2-3 quarters, thats when we could possibly see the hyper inflation rear its ugly head.

mr snow, it would not so much matter how many people would no longer pay taxes, but what the actual dollar figure was in decreased tax revenue. i suspect the % of overall tax revenue that actually represents is rather low, though i have no proof to back that up, just a hunch.

and qz, in the wise words of will ferrell, i like you man, but you're crazy. 90% over 1m? you might as well just live in a pure communist society where everyone makes 1m, right?

this thread is a load of terd sandwiches.

EVO will be back to it's former glory, just wait and see. i think pang's comment about the veteran core couldn't be anymore true. far from dead.

god damn, you make me wanna yell at you, then two seconds later i want to give you a high five. this is so conflicting. i agree with your second point completely, sales tax would not work, though it seems good on paper.

but to the first, would you rather earn 100k and bring home 90k, or earn 50k and bring home 50k?

so many points i want to argue here, but instead i will just agree with aponic and atryn mostly. i do want to also call grimm a moron too for his comment, (*yeah i would hate to have ~100% ROI*)

i do sincerely believe that if the US citizens will ever be able to overcome our current systemic malady in the next few decades, it will be born of a fusion party between the tea party and OWS, without the all whackos, plus lots of intelligent contributors with legitimate credibility.

we need one thing, to get money out of politics... somehow. a simpleton like myself doesnt have the answer as to how, but its the only way to save this country. it is the fundamental value that can be united behind in this country. combining forces, as opposed to the typical division of parties.

i refuse to be trolled by your unlogic.

i've seen that before, no shocker. okay, so a little fear mongery, but at least hes making a buck the true capitalistic way.

honestly, since he wrote that, hasn't he been right about the dollar and gold? hasn't he been right about the surveillance state?

we really are one "national emergency" away from marshall law, i dont see why that should seem shocking either.

weird blend of libertarian and liberal. i agree with about 2/3s of it.

love the no income tax below 50k though, that could fix the problem alone, imo.

another thing that must be considered is the source of that article. bloomberg.

i love when people take articles about economic policy seriously, as though they are definitely all true, when they are written by Keynesian, flamingly liberal sources who have no clue about economies, they just know what theyve been brainwashed for the past 100 years to think...

so, as a committed paul-bot, who works in finance, and has a very solid grasp of global economies, the article is right... to a certain degree.

paul's economic policy would be sure to stagnate our economy even more, perhaps spur a depression. but would you rather deal with that now or later? it is inevitably coming at some point, whether we prop up the economy now with spending or not. all the current economic policy does is kick the can down the road for a few years. look at what is happening in Greece/Italy and the EZ right now, that is the result of over spending more than your economy can support. The US is only a few years behind europe in this regard. and its not like all this spending is actually getting us out of the recession anyways.

so why wouldnt you just fix it now? as a devout paul supporter, i believe his economic policy will crash the global economy, but sadly, it's what we need to come out a better nation and world. the phoenix will rise from the ashes, and RP's economic policy WILL be the model for gov't fiscal spending after we have our modern day depression. We will not have another choice in the matter...

but here we are, a country on the verge of economic collapse, continuing policy that has FAILED.

You may call Dr. Paul nuts and crazy all you want, we've heard it all. However, insanity by definition is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. current policy is insanity, not Ron Paul.

and seriously archaic, Rand Paul a white supremacist?? Seriously?? go crawl back under the rock you popped out from under. or go vote for some RINO, either will produce the same result...

i can be reached by email or forum message

weasel:

omg so long cant read, but i bet i agree 100%

awww yeah bonus post, me lubs you hanlong

i hate tim tebow. he got what he deserved, a big piece of go home pie served from my man, the only QB god actually cares about, tom terrific.

spam spam spam ron paul spam spam spam

:)

we make sure we have dropped our inactive members at least 2 weeks before the end of the reset, simple difference.

come back to us!

another masterful LaF AT spin-job at work...

nice PS on me too, fluffing amateurs

that doesnt make sense that romney would be his VP, they represent totally different ideologies. though it would be a good idea if they want to defeat obummer. i think the best idea for ron at this point is to leak who his VP will be if elected, and i hope his son is the choice.

*thread lasts so long, US accumulates another 1T in debt*

100 bucks says ron paul gets 10x more votes than huntsman overall.

so true, i tried to marginalize the abortion issue. because if were talking ron paul, that should be an after thought to the economy.
