somebodyloved lyrics
Rain turns the sand into mud
Wind turns the trees into bone
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved

Nights when the heat had gone out
We danced together alone
Cold turned our breath into clouds
We never said what we were dreaming of
But you turned me into somebody loved

Someday when we're old and worn
Like two softened shoes
I will wonder on how I was born
The night I first ran away from you

Now my feet turn the corner back home
Sun turns the evening to rose
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved

Your other name shows who your looking for
Kingnobody

He loves you bro just ask him to show you

There's no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie. (Jim Clifton Chairman and CEO at Gallup.)

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont said it was around 11%. Good post altimaomega we got to keep government honest.
Do you know what he is talking about, or are you just agreeing with him because it sounds smart?

I bet you couldn't even tell us the differences between structural, frictional, or cyclical unemployment, can you?

You should be nicer to poor ole lordgrim, at least he doesn't drink the obama cool-aid and think democrats are all knowing creatures that have been voted into office by well-informed individuals. Just sayin.. you probably have more in common then differences.

There is a big difference between Mr nobody and myself. Mr nobody is in my opinion a company man where I am the opposite. I am a countryman.

Glad that there's a difference between us two. I would hate to be considered even remotely similar. It's bad enough we are in the same species.

But you are not a countryman. If you love this country as much as you claimed, why are you so keen to destroy it?

Wait, you don't see that? Maybe if you answered my previous questions, you would discover why your ideas would destroy this nation. But I guess a little thing like knowledge is unimportant to you.

I never really got that saying to be honest.

Is the familiarity associated with the individual, or the group as a whole? Are we showing contempt on differing ideas, or is it just one person who's showing contempt, and that others are just piggybacking on the idea because everyone is familiar with that one person?

Those could be scary thoughts if you analyze the underlying meaning behind those ideas...

You sound very much like the failed state we live in and must be blind to the fact that it has been Republicans and Democrats both destroying this nation and your refusal to acknowledge that our country is not supposed to be a majority rule democracy is baffling. Benjamin Franklin said it best when asked what type of government we made after the constitution was made. He said " a republic if you can keep it". We are a constitutional republic Mr nobody that is fact. Sadly we have lost the Republic but fear not. I am actively seeking to restore our republic. You say I am destroying America ? You are wrong, I am going to rebuild a better America or at least set the nation on right course to prosperity instead of ruination. One of my favorite quotes from Andrew Jackson was " I killed the bank ". Part of the pathway to rebuild is to kill the bank and establish state banks to put the money back in the hands of the people where it belongs and gives congress the power to mint coin again. There's a lot more. The balance of power will be in the hands of the people and will never leave it again. Yes there can be honest capitalistic business practices. We have clearly seen what dishonest practices have done to our nation. Here is to a better America in our lifetime and a better world.

I hate to break it to you bub, but nobody is arguing that.

But since you have no idea what you are talking about, let me help you out a little.

Presidential elections are determined by an electoral college system, where a "representative" of a group of people is "nominated" to vote on the top executive branch job once every 4 years. Depending on the state, the representatives vote based on the popular vote (majority rule) of the entire state or based by districts maintained by the congressional map dictated by the state's legislative branch.

Congressional elections are determined by a popular vote (majority rule) based on a regional area where the Congressperson is running for office for.

For Senate seats, that is determined by either a state-wide vote or regional vote for that specific seat.

For House seats, that is determined by the region that specific representative is supposed to be the voice of, when elected. That varies by population density on the size of the region. The congressional map is dictated by the state's legislative branch.

In other words, while majority rule doesn't directly play to presidential elections, it does indirectly determine presidential elections and completely determines congressional elections.

Again, who said we weren't? You are accusing me of stating otherwise. Please quote me on it, and use links (not YouTube videos) stating where I stated otherwise.

We didn't lose the republic....you can't say what we are currently, and then say we lost it......

As stated prior, your ideas of disbanding the Federal Reserve shows how little you understand domestic and global economics. You want us to revert back to a system where xenophobia runs rampant. You fail to account for the current system and our place in the global community.

You want to disband all banks, because you fail to understand the purpose of the banking system. You fail to understand debt, as you only see a negative side to it, and fail to understand that, without debt, we would not have advanced as a society, either economically, socially, individually, or have the technological advances we currently have.

Without banks, we would not have:

People able to borrow money for owning their own homes.
Students able to go to college.
Businesses able to advance their companies in investments.
Engineers able to produce the new idea.
Builders able to build the newest buildings.
Scientists able to research the newest cures and the research we need to answer the most pressing questions (such as climate change and behavioral studies)

Under your plan, everything comes to a screeching halt because you would prevent new ideas from being fulfilled. You believe that money grows from trees, and that the government just produces notes just for fun.

You have no clue what you are talking about, you have failed to produce any reasonable plan to replace the "corrupt" system that is in place today, and you are striving to cause more damage than any radical religious group can do to our nation. You, sir, are the most traitorous person (under your own definition) in this country, by your own reckoning.

These two sentences counter each other. What you are proposing is a Socialist regime, but you believe that capitalism will exist in a socialist regime?

Nik, don't forget that you cannot deduct your death laser as a ordinary business expense! You have to deduct it on Sch. A as an unreimbursed business expense subject to 2% of your AGI...

Does it matter which system is in place? There's got to be a bottom class of people in every system based by the need to prop up a specific group in power to rule over them.

Either monarchy, democratic/republic, socialist, communist, or federation, there is always the majority of people considered to be the bottom rungs of society to support the upper "elite" who professes to know better and what's good for society.

I told you to go to that evil lawyer down the street!

He would have classified your death laser as a contribution in a limited liability company and made it a business expense!

That's what you get for cutting corners and costs!

All this while some guy in Jordan is burned alive !
Strange you mentioned that:

In retaliation of their pilot being burned alive, Jordan executes 2 Al-Qaida inmates related to ISIS

Quote:
Jordan executed two al-Qaida prisoners before dawn Wednesday, just hours after an online video purported to show Islamic State group militants burning a captured Jordanian pilot to death in a cage.

The gruesome death of 26-year-old Lt. Muath Al-Kaseasbeh, captured while participating in airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition targeting the militants, sparked outrage across the Middle East and anti-Islamic State protests in Jordan.

King Abdullah II, a staunch Western ally, rushed back to Jordan, cutting short a Washington trip to try to persuade his people to support an even tougher line against the militants. Rallying such backing is pivotal for Jordan's continued role in the coalition.

Public opinion in Jordan has been ambiguous — growing demands for revenge against the militants have been mixed with misgivings about Jordan's role in a bombing campaign widely seen as serving Western interests.

The extremists, meanwhile, appeared to be goading Jordan. In Raqaa, the Islamic State group's de facto capital, the militants gleefully played al-Kaseasbeh's slaying on outdoor projectors, with some chanting "God is great," according to militant video posted online Wednesday that conformed to Associated Press reporting of the event.

In the 20-minute video, the pilot displayed signs of having been beaten, including a black eye. Toward the end of the clip, he is shown wearing an orange jumpsuit. He stands in an outdoor cage as a masked militant ignites a line of fuel leading to it.

The video of his purported killing was released on militant websites and bore the logo of the extremist group's al-Furqan media service. The clip featured the slick production and graphics used in previous Islamic State group videos. It could not immediately be confirmed independently by the AP.

A wave of condemnation washed across the Middle East on Wednesday, signaling that the Islamic State group militants might have overplayed their hand by putting their brutality toward a fellow Muslim on display. Some said this could trigger a backlash among Sunni Muslims in the region, the main reservoir of potential supporters.

At the same time, Jordan faces increasing internal and external threats from the militants. Jordan borders areas of Islamic State group's self-declared caliphate. There also have been signs of greater support for the group's militant ideas among Jordan's young and poor.

Following the pilot's death, Jordan launched what it said would be a tough campaign against the Islamic State group. In a first response, Jordan executed Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouly, two Iraqis linked to al-Qaida, government spokesman Mohammed al-Momani said. Another official said they were executed by hanging. Authorities said the pair would be buried later in Jordan.

Al-Rishawi had been sentenced to death after her 2005 role in a triple hotel bombing that killed 60 people in Amman orchestrated by al-Qaida in Iraq, the predecessor of the Islamic State group. Al-Karbouly was sent to death row in 2008 for plotting terror attacks on Jordanians in Iraq.

Islamic State group militants purportedly had demanded Jordan release al-Rishawi in exchange for the pilot. Over the past week, Jordan had offered to trade her, but froze any swap after failing to receive any proof that the pilot was still alive.

The Jordanian military said, without elaborating, that the pilot was killed Jan. 3, suggesting officials knew any attempt to trade would be in vain.

Al-Kaseasbeh had fallen into the hands of the militants when his F-16 crashed near Raqqa. He was the first airman participating in the U.S.-led bombing raids against militant positions in Syria and Iraq to be captured.

The pilot's father, Safi Yousef al-Kaseasbeh, urged his government to "take revenge for Muath and to take revenge for the country, even before Muath."

Late Tuesday, dozens of people chanting against Islamic State marched toward the royal palace. Waving a Jordanian flag, they chanted, "Damn you, Daesh!" — using the Arabic acronym of the group — and "We will avenge, we will avenge our son's blood."

Al-Kaseasbeh was from a tribal area in southern Jordan's Karak district. The tribes are considered a mainstay of support for the monarchy, but the pilot's capture strained that relationship. During the weeks of uncertainty about the pilot, relatives criticized the government's handling of the crisis and Jordan's participation in the anti-Islamic State group alliance.

However, the tone has changed since the announcement of his death, with family members and other Jordanians speaking out against the militants.

"There is no religion accepts such act," Amman resident Hassan Abu Ali said. "Islam is a religion of tolerance. (The Islamic State group) have nothing to do with Islam. This is criminal act."

Across the Middle East, religious and political leaders offered angry denunciations and called for blood as some on television wept when talking about the pilot.

The head of Sunni Islam's most respected seat of learning, Egypt's Al-Azhar, described the militants as enemies of God and the Prophet Muhammad, saying they deserved the Quran-prescribed punishment of death, crucifixion or the chopping off of their arms.

"Islam prohibits the taking of an innocent life," Ahmed al-Tayeb, Al-Azhar's grand sheik, said in a statement, adding that by burning the pilot to death, the militants violated Islam's prohibition on the mutilation of bodies, even during wartime.

The Islamic State group has released a series of gruesome videos showing the beheading of captives, including two American journalists, an American aid worker and two British aid workers. Tuesday's was the first to show a captive being burned alive.

The latest video was released three days after another video showed the purported beheading of a Japanese journalist, Kenji Goto. A second Japanese hostage was apparently killed earlier last month.

U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr., a California Republican, said after a meeting with the king that Abdullah had been visibly angry and promised to retaliate against the militants.

"They're starting more sorties tomorrow than they've ever had. They're starting tomorrow," Hunter told the Washington Examiner in an interview published online Tuesday night.

Hunter added the king also said: "The only problem we're going to have is running out of fuel and bullets."
