    Not even CLOSE to an apology. You insipid vapid postings are just fun to pick on.

    I can see why people would want to hit you (from your posts, I judge many likely have, HARD, and in the head, REPEATEDLY, but that's none of MY biz), but not why anyone would "hit on" you.

    Well I'm not an economist so I will leave that to people like you who know far more than me.

    I was just arguing a point I had heard and waiting for someone to prove it wrong.

    No one has yet so apparently it has some credibility.

    You remind me of that little boy on the playground that punches the girl in the arm because he likes her.

    That is so cute!

    It's not about when it gets paid, it's about whether it's recognized as an asset.

    Is the idea of debt restructuring completely foreign to you?

    I don't see the U.S. Doing any kind of debt restructuring.

    That's great. It's a shame that they existed as a commodity-rich country during the age of neoliberalism that came to face the ire of the US colossus.

    This world is not fair. We drew all the good cards, they drew all the bad ones.

    Are you female? I had not noticed, nor would I care to. IF I was single, I would never date a Trump supporter, regardless of attracriveness, I'm sorry, it is THAT much of a turn offf for most folks I know anyway.

    I have heard you say you are black? I HATE to open myself for it on one hand, but on the other IDGAF, but honestly I am attracted to women of just about every race EXCEPT black. Sorry, maybe that's "racist", IDK (IDC) I can't explain why either, but even "white featured" black girls just don't work for me. Give me a Japanese (or other Asian) girl any day of the week tho ;) That has not always been so either, been there "done that" years ago, but it has since changed.

    Rest assured, I'm taken, and my lady and I disagree on only one political point, abortion rights. She votes Democrat in spite of her pro life beliefs, because she believes some things are more important than imposing her beliefs on others.

    I've never claimed to be black, I am as white as a freshly snow covered forest.

    And you certainly knew I was a female, hence the flirting.

    And men cheat all the time, you wouldn't be the first one I've run across.

    The fact you refer to her as "your lady" tells me how you actually view women overall.

    Not her name, not the love of your life, but your lady, as if she is your possession.

    Did you buy her a vacuum cleaner for Christmas?

    Maduro should not have borrowed a ton of money from russians and put Citgo and refineries in the US as collateral. By doing this he put the us National security at risk. He made his bed and he sleeps in it. He should thank god every day that the us didn’t invade Venezuela and hang him by now. In my eyes, there are more legitimate reasons to invade Venezuela that the reasons we had to take down Iraq.

    That is ALL in your head, NOWHERE else.

    She is her own lady, I'm my own man, but we are each other's too, by choice, maybe you wouldn't get that, especially if you actually saw flirting, cuz none was EVER there.

    I may recall wrong, I could have sworn I read a comment clyou claimed you were black.

    but no, no flirting, definitely your imagination.

    I honestly like you markjs (even though you have a Muslim name) and I thoroughly enjoyed our debate.

    I am sure your wife is a wonderful person and that you let her know that.

    Nothing personal here, it's all in good sportsmanship and I look forward to our next "encounter".

    lol

    Have a wonderful night and I wish you and your lovely wife the best that life can give you. :)

    Now I have wine to drink and some Grey's Anatomy to binge watch.

    TTYL!

    Until you strted feeding your ego with fantasies about flirting, I haden't considered what sex you were at all, just was focused on the naive and insipid nature of your commontarry. I know you'd like to flatter yourself, but it isn't real, sorry.

    The fact of the matter is that the deterioration of US-Venezuela relations were dealt their deathblow when Chavez' overriding foreign policy concern became increasing oil prices against American wishes, something he felt free to do as the United States became militarily, monetarily, diplomatically, and politically weakened by the wars, and especially the war in Iraq.

    He, like many others, miscalculated. The United States always looks much, much weaker than it really is. Further, I don't think that many people understood the self-defeating nature of commodity-strength.

    I have no love for Maduro at all, and have no preference between him or Guaido, but I don't pretend that he had any realistic means of avoiding his current predicament.

    Fair enough, I have a number of friends, and business associates that suport Trump (maybe not the close type as in bestie, but almost "family like"), I disagree, BIGLY. but there is still mutual admiration and respect, it's just a place we don't go.

    With the anime av, I guess I might have subconsciously thought female, thou many fans are male, but yeah, it was not a conscious though t at all till you bring it up. My stiches from recent tooth extractions are sore cuz they are coming (partway) out.

    BTW Muslim? WTF? My name is Mark, next two initials is all that is. I have been using that since maybe '98 when I started building systems. You can literally google me and find stuff that far back if you're thorough.

    She's on her period (end of thankfully), they kick her ass, I feel bad too, so we are fine, but hermitting mutually ;) It will get better ;)

    Our kitties make home worthwhile tho (tonight), cuddly and wonderful and it's BURN NOTICE, for us on the Flix..... Also no drinkie (either of us) only weed for me (she hates but tolerates). Neither of us are very "nice folks" with alcohol added. Both look white, but definitely have Irish and NA ancestry and it SHOWS when either of us bends elbow.

    Fair enough mark.

    I expect you to be a fierce political opponent but behind that I hope we can be friends and learn from each other.

    Talk to you later lover :)

    I'm trying to figure out how Burn Notice ties into the discussion. Are you just responding to the Grey's Anatomy comment?

    Burn Notice was a really great show. The acting mostly sucked and the personal dialogue was beyond cheesy, but the scenarios were always pretty cool.

    So you DID see?

    I disagree, in the end, they all grew as a crew and the acting improved. Sharon Gleiss, was actually a pretty decent actress, and Gabrielle Anwar can be. The guy who played Sam too. The other two (Mike and Jesse), not so much, but still great show.

    The writing was always the issue mostly as far as the acting.

    It was my favorite show when I was living in New Mexico during the late-2000s. The show's writers were really good at some things and really bad at others, but it definitely has charm.

    It's like Morrowind. I can understand perfectly why people don't like it, but it delivers on key points that are hard to find elsewhere.

    WOW I am SO with you on that! I LOVED Morrowind and recently replayed it and Oblivion. Still gets me how no one ever sleeps, no children, no "normal" animals nobody sits, lol, Oblivion adressed all that, but still Morrowind had it's charm.

    I never played Daggerfall, but I have heard, despite the bad graphics, it's a worthwhile game, I may someday.

    The left and the right are for theatrical entertainment. Corporatism rules both parties
