It seems we all agree on the set of facts here - the two-party system basically maintains the status quo. Whoever is elected from whichever party, he (or she) ain't gonna change much even if he/she wanted to, and probably would not in his/her heart even want to.

What we don't agree about is whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.

What I really cannot understand is how any of you - anybody in their right mind at all - could not be damn near ecstatically happy with life the way we have it now in this country. One or more of you negative nancys please explain that.

As for me, I have over sixty years experience to draw from, and I am firmly convinced that we have far more enjoyable things in our lives than ever before, and plenty of freedom to do that enjoying. Really, what else is there? If you guys want to CHANGE away from what we have, what in the hell do you want to change to?

hahahaha Things stay pretty damn civil in here when you know who stays away.

I even know a few gays who are very happy with the WONDERFULNESS of life here. Nobody that is both gay and Latino, but whatever. If your guy ain't happy here, then what the hell is he doing here instead of going back to beautiful Guatemala? Could it be that they torture and/or kill gays there?

Still waiting for you change-aholics to say what you would like to change life in America TO.

"I know you are, but what am I?" would be the "immortal" words you're looking for, texas.

As far as what we "changeaholics" are looking for is concerned, you don't really pay attention to what anybody says on here, do you?

I'm pretty sure the '14 and '16 elections will reflect that.

Several of you guys have spoken the "tear it down" words without stating what you would replace it with.

I don't know who if any of ya'all have been anywhere else in the world, but I have to ask, WHERE do you see anything remotely close to the GREAT life we all have here - by basically any standard you want to judge it by? Freedom, Security from harm, Comfort and Enjoyment? So what if some/most politicians are doing whatever. If in fact that even is the case, how exactly does it affect your daily life? It sure as hell doesn't affect mine.

So I ask any of you guys - again - specifically WHAT would you want to change, and what would you want to change it to?

One more thing regarding those politicians of both parties you guys hate so much: One side appreciates how great things are and doesn't want the change you seem to crave; The other side at least knows the political reality - that people with good sense are the solid majority, and if they do anything very significant toward that change, they will get their asses kicked electorally.

How Gunny and Dumbass think they are good anything is beyond comprehension. Their version of "good American" is to be a formal military man so you can openly be a hateful bigot and think people need to lick your boots. Thanks for your service guys, but isn't Veterans Day enough - or do we all need to praise you on a daily basis. For the love of God guys, get your conceit in check.

I know it gave you a great life and all, but the wars we have fought post WWII have been nothing but bull shit politician's wars.

You're sick, Dakota - get help!

To the powers that be: here's another example of a nice civil normal thread - two sides not in agreement, but going back and forth in a decent normal civil way - then this loser comes along to spoil things, spewing his usual hate.

Zero2Cool (27-Jul) : The menu you expanded to log in, it's the first icon under "PackersHome" .. maybe i should add text to it

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Feelin' pfowish can't find the sun. No big deal, will drag a laptop out when the time comes

Zero2Cool (27-Jul) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (27-Jul) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (27-Jul) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (27-Jul) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (27-Jul) : *Friday*

dfosterf (27-Jul) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (27-Jul) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (27-Jul) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (27-Jul) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (27-Jul) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (27-Jul) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (27-Jul) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (27-Jul) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

dfosterf (27-Jul) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (27-Jul) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
