    Way to completely miss the joke. The writer is making the point that everyone was pissed at Obama before the reform bill was signed, and now loves him for the same bill. Same goes for Pelosi. She's pointing out how silly it is that everyone suddenly loves the bill now that it's finished.

        Take a look in the mirror. You don't have a car, you live in a compact prison like city, you worship the government, you come "home" to a concrete a glass box where you sit around and make believe.

          I choose this lifestyle, because it's more beneficial to me than living out in the middle of nowhere with a shotgun and a pickup truck. Get out of your parents' basement for a little while, and maybe you'd understand.

            I used to live in an apartment in a city. Not a city with big sky scrapers and ultra compact city blocks, but rather a crowded city with small houses cramped together. I'd rather live with nature with a pickup and a shotgun. Nice and quiet, natural setting, birds singing, no cars, it really makes a difference. I love to shoot too.

                Well I'd rather live in the big city, where 90% of what I need is only a short walk away, so I don't have to depend on a pickup truck and a shotgun to get something to eat. I don't have to pay for gas, because I only use mass transit. I don't have to spend time and money maintaining my house, because I live in an apartment. I'd also like to live near where I work, in an area where I can earn a much larger salary than delivering pizzas. Nature is nice, but right now it's not top priority. Maybe you should get it through your head that there's more than one way to live, and more than one way to think. This whole "Everyone who isn't exactly like me is an evil totalitarian socialist contradiction" is getting really old.

                  What motivates me to do what ? To keep pointing out the flaws in your worldview ? Boredom mostly. There was a time when I thought I could help you to get professional help, but I now know you'll never allow yourself to be treated. So, instead, this whole forum is a sideshow, a chance to slum it and see how the other half lives and thinks.

                                I just have this aversion to paying for someone to cause me pain - I could hit my thumb with a hammer for free if I was into that! :laugh:

                                  Well to paraphrase an old master: Parking in London is alot like making love to a beautiful woman. You spend ages looking around for one and when you find it, you block all other contenders, do a complex dance to line yourself up with that hole, go in a bit, out a bit, repeat until your home. And then she takes all your money. Frigging parking charges.
