The Bank of North Dakota is owned and operated by the state of North Dakota, so yeah, that is socialism.

What planet do you live on?"

Terrier you have got to be the stupidest person alive!! The Bank of N D is a GOVERNMENT run bank!! Loans are subsidized through the government. You have truely proved that you have no understanding of what socialism is. No suprise there. Maybe you should stick to capitalism because you know nothing about anything else obviously!! You didn''t want "government run healthcare" yet you fail to see that a government run bank is the same concept!! Go back to school please and stop embarrassing yourself!! It's getting ridiculous!!


Me - to T-bagger:
What makes you so special that the Bank of North Dakota is only a socialist bank if it steals money from you?
Do you realize how silly you sound?

"As the only state-owned bank in the nation, our mission, established by legislative action in 1919, is to promote agriculture, commerce and industry in North Dakota."

"...state-owned bank..." That is socialism, no matter who you think stole your money. Oh, and don't forget the State Mill and elevator. That is socialism also. And they didn't steal your money either.

The discussion is about the difference between a financial transaction (borrowing and paying back with interest aka a loan) versus socialism (money TAKEN from "Peter and GIVEN to Paul aka socialism). If you can't understand that you are indeed beyond all help and my patience."

Me:
Logic flies by YOU like a rocket! Do this. Find a type of book known as a dictionary (Ask around, it's a common book). It has most of the words we use (All, in your case), listed alphabetically. You can borrow one from any Liberal or anyone that needs to sometimes pass as a Liberal. Or just go to the Public Library. (Another example of 'Socialism')
Anyway, look up 'Socialism', Society', 'social', 'Civilization', etc.
We are 'Social' animals. We live in 'Societies'. We call this 'Civilization'. The very fact that you live in a 'City', Town or 'Village', (look those up also), makes you a member of this 'Society' that we instinctively group ourselves in.
Do it because you are embarrassing yourself in 'Public'. (look that up too)
Us Liberal types think imparting information using facts is a good thing. Try it sometime. (You come up short here.) It gets easier with practice and acquired knowledge.
I typed this slowly to help you get started with catching up with your education. If you need help with some of the big words here, that book can help you there too.

1. methinks you may as well argue with a mountain.

[OneGrassRoot]

2. I can't stand the phrase "with all due respect"

I'd say 99% of the time when we hear that phrase uttered or see it written, we know good and well the person has ZERO respect for the other person.

Just sayin'. :)

Otherwise, this is a typical exchange with a teabagger in my experience. A complete waste of time and energy.

3. I wish these people had a personal concept of shame.

4. Some people aren't going to let the facts change what they know

to be true.

[CanonRay]

5. These T'baggers have left stupid way behind

and are an entire new category.

6. I agree w/ everyone above, the Baggers don't get it ...

... and in arguing with them, you'll just frustrate yourself.

I had an exchange w/ a Bagger friend-of-a-friend on Facebook yesterday, who repeatedly claimed that Tuesday's election was the start of "a return to fiscal sanity and social morels". I knew I was debating a rock, so I gave up on trying to educate him and posted "mmmm, morels. Tasty if cooked right." Everyone else in the exchange LOL'd and he posted "People with good morales don't criticize others. God bless you anyway" so I played dumb and said "I'm not sure what specifically you think I'm criticizing, but may your God bless you, too." which garnered more LOL's from people with brain cells.

Sometimes all you can do is play stupid just like they are and covertly laugh in their faces. Others will get the joke too.

7. Folks like that should stop using the socialist internet

8. Good one.

I'm gotta remember that one. :thumbsup:
