Why Obama needs to be the next President.

I pointed out a basic known fact. Supply and demand set the pricing for any commodity.
Supply of gas is always getting lower and demand is always getting higher. Logically one can deduce the price will continue to rise.That of course is incredibly simplistic and has little to do with the short term price fluctuations (noting of course that there is a difference between absolute supply and limited short term perceived problems with supply channels.)
Sure is. Is it really much more simplier than blaming the President for price changes though? :-\ I just think people that gripe about gas prices and then blame it on the president have no clue. So 'simplifying' in such a matter atleast gets them off that topic, cause clearly they have no clue and it is pointless banter. Same people that call Obama a socialist and gripe then support Newt's $2.50 plan :wtf:

Just s SMALL piece of advice. You are not going to find accurate information from people who USED to be Mormons, got offended by something, and now claim to tell the truth. exmormon.org is your source.
So to be clear... One can't learn anything about communism by talking to someone who used to be a communist? One can't learn anything about Catholicism by talking to an ex-priest? One can't learn anything about heroin addiction by talking to an ex-addict? One can't learn anything about scienctology by talking to ex-members? etc... Or is it just Mormons that have the exalted position that ex-members immediately lose all knowledge of that group when they leave?
No, that is not clear. You can learn some things but how much truth are you going to learn from a disgruntled ex? You have millions of active members and the church continues to grow. So, it would be foolish to use a few disgruntled ex's as your ONLY source.

The real issue is Obama is not even (likely) a citizen of the United States which goes against our constitution.
Nonsense.

And, the main point still stands even if Obama did or did not admit it himself. He is not eligible to be the President, yet there he is. That is what is most messed up.
The good ol' US, where any crackpot can spout any ridiculous theory regardless of how outlandish it might be. How many magic crystals are in your wallet?

If you did not believe in the wind how could you understand air currents, weather patterns, etc? It's the same thing. You can't understand the more concepts if you first do not have an understanding of the basics. You mock what you do not understand. That shows your level of ignorance. Instead of politely disagreeing, you mock.

Indeed it does.

Please explain what "believe in the wind" means.

Why? Just your opinion? He has deflated the dollar? Do you dispute that? So, what good has Obama done?

I didn't say he has done any good. I am disputing your claim that he by himself has this vast impact on an industry that is so pervasive and wide spread.

Nonsense. It isn't the same at all. Neither in the details nor in the general sense. I do NOT need to "believe" in the wind to study and understand the science of meteorology.

I suggest that you actually read what I have posted. I haven't said whether I believe or don't believe in God in any form. The fact that you assume my disbelief is based solely on your presumption that only your particular slant/view can be the proper one for God. Perhaps you should become a the head of a cult so you can truly control others beliefs.

So you agree that there is some truth there. Then the answer to your question depends how many exes there are.
ryanb31 wrote:

That has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

Yes. But you claimed that nothing at all could be learned from them. And it is that point which I was addressing.

Don't take it too serious. It was a humorous post. And, if you watched the video you would understand. But you have not answered me. What good has Obama done?
ryanb31 wrote:

Then perhaps you have not learned this lesson yet, so let me help - repeating a joke over and over again doesn't make it more funny. Also posting something that wasn't originally intended to be funny in the first place without some qualification that makes the humor apparent isn't a good way to make something humorous.

1. You misunderstood. I did not say you have to understand basic wind to understand all of science. But you do have to understand wind to understand air currents, weather patterns, as I said. So, if you do not know who God is how can you understand his dealings with us? One builds on the other. 2. This is a long thread now and I thought I had asked you if you believe in God. Did you answer me? If I assumed incorrect, I apologize.

By the way, why so cranky? You are taking cheap personal shots at me. I feel like I need to call you out to meet behind the school later.

1. I appreciate you searching for my name and attacking everything I say. It lets me know I am right, I am flattered. 2. Got me, you're right. Obama has done a great job. Took you a while to come up with one thing though. I would ask you to come up with a second thing but I may not be around long enough to hear it. And, so you don't get confused, I used the joke icon this time. You're welcome. Sorry for the sarcasm, but your only goal seems to be to argue with me, not make a point.

You are imposing emotions on me that do not exist.
Whatever, you are searching for my name and attacking everything I say. You're a serial poster. A stalker. It's OK though. I am glad to know I got your attention. I would love to meet you in person because it is hard to read intent and emotion in posts.

Then you misunderstood my claim. He is not alone nor did I intend to imply that "he by himself" messed everything up.

Since I didn't claim that it can't be but otherwise.
ryanb31 wrote:

That isn't what you said. I can believe in a wind god and perform rites to such a god and yet still study and understand meteorology.

And as I already said - nonsense. Based on that every clergy that ever has a crisis of faith immediately loses are understanding of the religious principles that they are a member of.

My belief in a god is irrelevant to the discussion. Note as well that my convictions or not about a diety doesn't mean that I hold the same view as you. But perhaps you woud claim that as long as I believe in something like Gaia that you point would be immediately apparant.
