Obama writes editorial in Wired Magazine: 'Brush off the cynics and fearmongers' - Polidicks

[QUOTE=space1;51219366]More colelge degrees? Yea because any decent job which really shouldn't require a degree now does to weed out complete idiots(even then some still manage to slip through).[/quote] Oh no our job force is requiring people to have higher education and be exposed to new ideas [quote] Teen pregnancy going down? Yea, because you keep fearmongering teens into not wanting kids.[/quote] Are you implying we should be encouraging teens to have children? And that bit about poverty? Yea that's wrong [quote] [URL]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/Number_in_Poverty_and_Poverty_Rate_1959_to_2011._United_States..PNG[/URL][/QUOTE] All I'm seeing is a steady poverty rate; one which took an upturn because of a recent economic downturn (2008 financial crisis) but has gone down since 1959

So your goal is to force everyone to pay ridiculously high tuition fees and become debt slaves just so they can have a slightly higher paying job? 2. Condoms? 3. Exactly my point, he's saying it's decreased steadily since 1983. That would be a fabrication.

Then you better do so, and I really don't get why you'd even complain that's bad for a nation that can't maintain it's manufacturing jobs and won't get them back due to complicated reasons around wage and cost. Advanced technology, higher learning, more educated people is good for a nation. I think it's a very valid justification for taxation when you want your nation to succeed in the future. You think of this as "just every job" but it's really about way more than that. You can dumb it down to that, but it's not that simple. A successful birth control education policy is nothing but a good thing for a country. You really make it sound like you want a high teenage pregnancy rate, which is, bad for the economy long term.

[QUOTE=space1;51219366] Teen pregnancy going down? Yea, because you keep fearmongering teens into not wanting kids. [/QUOTE] Are you sure about that? Fearmongering makes the problem statistically worse, while education and encouraging safe sex helps.

Obama was pretty cool! (as president)

America should actually consider keeping Obama as president. On the other hand I'd feel a bit sorry for him because he looks quite burned out by now

Especially Obama who is universally hated by conservatives. FDR got away with it, but that was over 70 years ago and during the worst conflict the world has ever seen.

I have a pet dog. He's never had a better life than he does right now. Ofcourse I decide when he goes outside, where we go when he goes outside and where he pisses and shits. I decide when he eats, what he eats and how much he eats. I decide where in the house he is allowed to go and where he sleeps. And when I feel like being entertained, he will entertain me. But my pet dog has never had it better.

Obama used fearmongering plenty of times to help make some of the pushes in his administration more palatable to the public. Does he not see the hypocrisy?
