Response to the sanctimonious post #171.

Have you reached the height of your self-adoration yet, SirJosephPorter?? Or is there really a limit?? And as far as who has been speaking English longer: Based on your posts here, you probably never spoke anything coherent before your thirties. If ever.

Your denigrating and condescending remarks about English being my second language - insinuating that, therefore, I am insufficient in it - is the best indication of what anyone with a goal in life to be a pompous jerk should aspire to: YOU!

And for Francis2004. You blindsided me long before I paid even the slightest attention to you.

Y.J. Which posters on here do you totally agree with (besides me)?

Note that I do not quote SirJosephPorter (or for that matter his alter ego, SirRupertMurgaretroyd) because I would hesitate to give either of them another run of overbloated self-esteem diarrhea.

Based on your posts, SirJosephPorter you are just a mid-fifties pup.

I am seventy years old. So it is fair to say that I learned and used the expression long before you were even born.

So if you think that I flatter you, you are either overly conceited or overly stu..d.

Yeah, Y.J. but what ELSE did you learn during those 70 years?

Joe six pack. I notice you borrowed the phrase from Sarah Palin. She used it many times before. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I'm sure she is flattered and gives you her thanks.

JLM, having a free mind I do not agree, nor disagree with anyone 100% of the time.

As the saying goes, even a stupid farmer can grow big potatoes, even SirJosephPorter or Cliffy can come up with things I do not find abhorrent to agree with. I expressed that several times in the past.

What makes you think that I agree with you? "TOTALLY"???

I mean, how could any sane person agree with your snide remark in your post #183.

Other than acknowledging that you have mastered the below the belt blows about as well as your mentor, SirJosephPorter managed to teach it to you.

You are quite right, Francis, all the early signs are for a turnaround in the American and the world economy.

I am still ambivalent as to whether the stimulus was the right way to go, as a rule I am totally against budget deficits. However, this time there appears to be a consensus among the economists that stimulus was indeed necessary to free up the flow of the credit. Since I am not an economist, I will take the word of the experts for it.

I have read that in hindsight Bush made a huge blunder when he let Lehman Brothers go bankrupt. It played very well on the main street (and I suppose Bush had to do something to shore up his sagging popularity). Joe six pack was ecstatic, over the moon about those evil, greedy bankers getting it in the neck. People were in general happy to see the greedy bankers punished.

Unfortunately, it was a case of cutting off one’s nose to spite somebody else. Lending by the banks ceased almost completely after Lehman Brothers went belly up, credit flow ceased almost completely, financial markets froze.

If such a big, well established financial institution as Lehman Brothers can go belly up, what guarantee does a bank have that it will get its money back, money which it loaned to somebody? So banks stopped lending even to other banks (which is essential for the flow of commerce). Matters were at a standstill, the world economies were teetering on the brink.

As a result the bailout package became necessary. If Bush had bailed out Lehman Brothers with a few billion $, that may well have nullified the need for the stimulus package of several hundred billion dollars.

But that wouldn’t have done Bush’s popularity any good; the action to bail out Lehman Brothers would have been highly unpopular. But in order to appease public opinion, Bush contributed mightily to the meltdown.

Debate will rage on whether that was actually Bush's fault or Congress / Senate fault and one could say it was a combination of the two for Lehman Brothers.

But I do feel we have turned the tide and finally started the long road to recovery..

A question that implied that a person - namely me - have not learned anything in seventy years.

I learned a second language that I know better than you.

Don't know how old you are, but I doubt that you even ever graduated to your SECOND pair of underwear.

Wisdom does not come with age. Anyone who thinks so is delusional. All the education in the world will not make someone wise. Certainly, anyone as antagonistic as you, Jack, has learned nothing at all about life.

There's a big word, Y.J. but please enlighten all about how you could get it into that context. Like Cliff says you can know a lot of sh*t without being wise. A lot of wise people, I notice, keep their mouths shut a lot.
