Thanks, Rank F, but I’m way ahead of you on that one…
testing the Frank name. Don’t mind me.
When will MDN for iPhone be launched?
Testing also
Well looky here. Frank is back!
Thanks MDN!!!
@ TowerTone:
You’re a tool, lapping at your government’s propaganda.
Gee, Rank with F, I looked back over my post and didn’t see anything about the government.
But let me ask you this. If the HilBillies return, does that automatically mean that all the libs are tools lapping up the governments propaganda? Or does it then become “truth”, simply because it plays into your self serving view of the world?
Your knee jerk will be to trash Bush, however, my question is what difference does it make if the followers believe in the ones elected?
Next kneejerk will be to promise a leftist agenda will be a more open and honest administration, at which point I will inform you that you have already become a tool of government propaganda.
Sorry to cut you off at the kneejerks by filling in your blanks, but they are so predictable (I have a 4 year old grandson, so this is easy) that I thought I would save you the trouble of having to post that dribble and embarrass yourself….not that you would know.
Dear TowerTone,
I must express my surprise that you’ve ever reproduced; I never would have thought a hand could be impregnated.
Does this mean I should refer to you as “gramps” from now on?
To answer your question, I’m referring not to Bush, though I do find him repulsive as the next murderer. I should point out that I also consider Bill Clinton to be an immoral murderer as well.
And no, I do not promise a “leftwing” agenda. The one agenda I do propose is the people of the USA becoming aware of what their government is doing around the world in order to have those people stop it.
If you don’t think you’re lapping at your government’s propaganda, explain me this, then: why is it that the wealthiest 1% of your population has seen incredible growth over the past 20-30 years, while the average working wage has fallen just as dramatically? If the market is growing, doesn’t that mean the upper 1% and the rest of the population should have growing wealth?
But instead your schools are not funded, your hospitals are inaccessible, your social services depleted, your pensions are drying up. Why is it Philadelphia is such a sh*thole to live in? Tell me why so many of your people live in 3rd world conditions, and people accept it so willingly?
Frank
Why don’t you give all your money to charity and move to D.C. and become a permanent protester?
I’m assuming it’s because you don’t really give a damn, you just like to bitch.
And what country are you from, so that we can draw parallels to what they do? Don’t want to say?
And what is your registered name here? Once again, don’t want to say? Scared to use it?
You are boring and pointless, Frank.
Now, I have to go out into the real world and work. Consider that part of the answer to all of your childish questions.
Yo Gramps,
I don’t think you get it. If you insist, the country I am from is … Greenland. Happy now?
I would like to point out how well they have indoctrinated you. I asked you a logical question about why, if the market is growing in an unprecedented rate, is it the wealthiest 1% are getting wealthier why the poor are getting poorer at a equally fast rate? You automatically react emotionally, angrily. You become defensive, hostile.
Who are you defending? It’s not yourself, because you’re on the losing end of the stick. You and your family member are getting poorer and poorer. Your grandchildren will grow up even poorer, all the while there is an amazing growth of the economy.
So, who are you defending?
Does it not make sense that if the market and the economy are growing, so should the wages and the social services of the general population? But we see the opposite: in the face of increasing wealth in the USA, social services are being gutted, poverty is increasing, and wages are falling.
These are things you should be thinking about if you care about the future of your little handlets.
Well, I guess the delay in TowerTone’s “discourse” is because he’s currently trying to dig up as much dirt as he can on Greenland. Go for the gold, gramps.
Stillllllll waiting… You gonna respond, Mr. Belvedere?
So many posts, so few brains. The story is about an iPhone application from Fox news. Get off of your soap boxes pin heads ,most people could give a shit what your opinions are.
All right, Frank, I am back from being around the adults. What? You didn’t understand what my last two sentences meant? No surprise there.
Now, fRank, what do you propose America should do to even all this out? I am sure you have an answer. Here is some real info to help you sort it even more.

A lot of big words there, Rank. Good luck. America is waiting. We need you. Please help us.
Oh, and thanks in advance.
Dear Grampa TowerTone,
You’ve only proven my assertion that you’re lapping at your government’s propaganda.
First of all, it breaks it down according only to income and tax. But you know very well income and wealth are not fully correlated. Disparity of income is nothing compared to disparity of WEALTH, which is what we’re discussing. Take Steve Jobs, for example. He’s incredibly wealthy, yet has an income of $1.
That’s point 1. Point 2 is that this blog’s “analysis” is a carefully crafted example of skewing interpretations. It does this by using comparative proportional percentages rather than actual data.
What would really be interesting is to see the results of a study not in terms of percentages, but in terms of actual numbers. The upper 1% may account for 39% of tax revenue in 2005, but if the government has slashed taxes in half, then that 1% would be paying LESS in taxes. So, for example, the poor who make $20,000 a year pay $200 less a year, which is enough for an iPod nano; the rich 1% who have “earned” $100,000,000 are now paying $1,000,000 less a year, even if their proportions increased.
And this doesn’t even get into the real issue of erosion of funding for schools, health, social services, and so on.
What you quote is simply more propaganda. There’s no substance in that study. It’s just clever marketing, and you bought it up. I can’t believe you even defend it so outright. They’re getting rich off your back, don’t you care? Or has their indoctrination worked so well you’re ready to defend <strong>them before your own family?
Uh, so where is your solution, Oh Great FrankenSenseless? Stretch that mind beyond seeing only problems. Lets see some progress! Roll them joints,er, sleeves up and get us straight with the right , I mean left, way to do this.
Come on man, America needs you! We are all but blind lemming robot zomby whateverthefuck you can think of next. Jesus. There you hold the answers to World Peace and all you can do is dilly dally with 5th grade nonsense from the likes of me? GET MOVING WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME!!!!
Well, that’s a good question. What does one do?
Usually people react in two ways:
1. Stick their head in the sand, accept it, tacitly collaborating with it. This is the typical shrugging on the shoulders and saying life goes on.
2. Deny it, sometime vehemently.
The thing about these two reactions is that they’re the ones that have been taught to us.
But rather than “reactions”, which is what is expected of us, there are constructive actions to take:
1. Become aware<strong>. Read. For example, start reading. But don’t read what is written verbatim. Look for the hidden assumptions. It’s those hidden assumptions that need to be addressed. It’s not hard, though it does take persistence.
2. <strong>Get out of the country. Go visit other countries, especially the places that you think are “less civilised” than Modern America. I wouldn’t recommend going to a violent place like Iraq, unless you’re really prepared. The biggest problem this world faces is unilateral perspective. If you have only one perspective, you are in serious jeopardy of being misinformed and manipulated.
3. Get involved. Join community groups. Join public interest groups. The powers that be are counting on the general population to be segmented, divided, attacking each other. When you take a step toward investing in your community, you will overcome quite easily that animosity that has been instilled in all of us.
4. Check out polls. There are research institutes that conduct polls of popular attitudes on issues. Find out what it is people care about most, and you’ll be surprised to find what you see.
I could list many more things to do, but I’m short on time at the moment. Even if you do one of those suggestions, you’ll be way on your way to making the future a good place, rather than one to be feared.
In the end, the major thing to do is overcome the automatic assumption that nothing can be done. From that, everything will follow. Trust in the conscience of normal everyday people. It is not because of people’s immorality that bad things happen in the world; it is because they are distracted and taught to be misinformed.
Frank-
that is the exact same thing I have been saying (that the liberals always say), meaning, you just gave absolutely no answers to any problems. You may have given us a roadmap, which is very condescending.
You know, seriously, I would love to see you give ONE concrete answer on how to solve anything. Instead, you will come back with statements that I am too stupid to follow these suggestions.
Grow up, Frank. It’s a real world out there.
