Favourite Obama quotes

[QUOTE="Laihendi"][QUOTE="worlock77"]

Ok, so who's property is the river?

worlock77

You claim that by pumping my sewage into the river I'm violating property rights, so then who's property is the river? If it is no one's property then I am violating nobody's property rights.

[QUOTE="Laihendi"]I've never heard of anyone owning bodies of water. That's like asking who owns the sky, or a cloud. It's a meaningless question.Laihendi

You claim that by pumping my sewage into the river I'm violating property rights, so then who's property is the river? If it is no one's property then I am violating nobody's property rights.

It does? So who owns the riverbed?

rule of thumb. Never take teenagers seriously.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] The river flows through property that is owned by people. If you pollute a river then you are damaging the property that it flows through.Laihendi

The point I'm making is that you have a piss-poor stance that you can't even defend.

At least Obama makes sense.

Bushisms are way more funny and stupid.

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] Yes, disregard my answer to your question so that you may repeat your question and act as if you are making a point. Okay.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="Laihendi"]Yes by sending a stream of sewage through someone's land you are damaging his property. Who owns the riverbed? Who owns any land? I don't have a list of who owns every piece of property that contains a riverbed. I can't even tell if you're trying to make a point anymore.Laihendi

The point I'm making is that you have a piss-poor stance that you can't even defend.

Which is it? Is the river somebody's property or is it no one's property? It can't be both ways.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] Putting sewage in a river that flows through someone's property damages that person's property by filling it with sewage. Please explain how I'm wrong. I guess if someone started throwing poop at your house you would not consider that property damage, right? :lol:Laihendi

It goes through no one's land. If it did then it would be their property.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] It is no one's property. Again, the question you should be asking is whose property (land) does the river go through.Laihendi

It goes through no one's land. If it did then it would be their property.

Wow, you're really grasping. I did not say that rivers somehow defy the laws of physics. I said the river goes through no one's land (as is land owned by no one), not that it goes through no land. Comprehend?

You still haven't replied to the revalation I laid before you concerning your man crush. How can you reconcile your love for Elijah Wood with the idea that he's a dirty commie leftist?

I'm pretty sure rivers go through land. I've never heard of rivers going through air, rips in the space-time continuum, or anything else. Just land.Laihendi

@Pie - If a river leads to someone's well, then it is clearly passing through someone's land to get there. If you send sewage through someone's land, then you are polluting his property and therefore violating his rights.Laihendi

Some (quite a few) countries have laws preventing private ownership of riverbeds. The land it passes through is state owned- and therefore, no one with 'rights' is directly affected. the water is used to irrigate people living in proximity to it (via pipes or w/e). The result would be that the people living nearby have no access to clean water. assuming you're not a fan of the fashionable 'right to a clean enviorment'- what would be your reason for preventing the pollution?

I'll summarise this entire thing- a public interest is ,eg, preventing a course of action that would be harmful to society in the long run/grand scheme- but would be profitable for relevant individuals in the short run using his limited scope of events. EG- a price cartel that violates anti-trust laws raises prices to the effect that less of the product is available with much higher prices. The only beneficiary is the monopoly, but everyone else loses.

"And all we're suggesting and we're not going to solve every difficult problem in terms of end-of-life care. A lot of that is going to have to be, we as a culture and as a society starting to make better decisions within our own families and for ourselves. But what we can do is make sure that at least some of the waste that exists in the system that's not making anybody's mom better, that is loading up on additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care, that at least we can let doctors know and your mom know that, you know what? Maybe this isn't going to help. Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller.And those kinds of decisions between doctors and patients, and making sure that our incentives are not preventing those good decisions, and that that doctors and hospitals all are aligned for patient care, that's something we can achieve."

Its true that a huge portion of the healthcare you recieve in life is during your final year or two, thats the biggest cost and waste

"I have said repeatedly that I think that the death penalty should be applied in very narrow circumstances for the most egregious of crimes. I think that the rape of a small child, 6 or 8 years old, is a heinous crime," -- Obama

this is my favorite quote because this is a quote that comes from a supposedly centre left leader in a developed country, not only does this leader support government sanctioned first degree premeditated murder of its own citizens against their will, but he support it for people who haven't actually commited murder themselves. This reveals that he is a truly despicable individual who belong no where near the position of the leader of the world's strongest nation.
