Fundamentally Flawed

dalasverdugo:

I’m not the first person to say this, but I’m in a frustrated mood today, so I’ll say it anyways. We’re paying the banks billions of dollars, but it’s just going to get worse as unemployment increases and people can’t pay off their debt. Why aren’t we just directly paying off people’s debt? Taxpayer money helping taxpayers. Sure, it was their irresponsibility for taking on too much debt, but I don’t see how it’s any more irresponsible than what the banks did to get bailed out.

We’re basically paying banks so that they can keep charging people interest on their debt. I don’t see how that can possibly work out.

This already feels like a stupid, futile post before I even hit the “Create post” button. Sorry to waste your time.

If they’re both at fault why should we throw money at either of them? Why do we even make it possible for the banks or the irresponsible to recieve “help”?

I’ve been worried all along that Castlevania Judgment was going to just be bad. It didn’t even occur to me that it may turn out hilariously awful.

Some of the dialogue in here may qualify as the 2K8 edition of “Mankind ill needs a savior such as you,” except that the dialogue in Symphony of the Night was fairly sensible stuff translated poorly. This is conceptually ridiculous.

“Those are a sacred gift!”

Did you hear that? SACRED

ahahahahahahahaha

I would have voted for you Ron Paul!
Obama can identify the problems all he wants, but it’s you who also saw the solutions. +1 for doing all that you could for this election.

I’m voting Democrat because I think lawyers should run the country, because the last two years under their control has gone so well, because the government has done such a great job with FEMA that they should also be in charge of our school choices, health care choices, and retirement choices, because they protect me from crime so well that I don’t need a gun, because I want to pay more taxes (especially Capital Gains), because unions need to be stronger against evil corporations, because trade with foreign corporations is anti-American and we need to protect American jobs, and mostly because I’m tired of having so many choices and want someone else to make them for me.

Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country.

When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank.

You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin!

You are a den of vipers and thieves.
