    Year, Decade in review always interesting regardless of source. That video focused on pop culture. I’d like to see a listing of the top searched terms. Top Blocked Websites. Top DNS targets etc.

    THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. The turmoil surrounding Assange is many fold more interesting than the initial issue. Governments taking away civil rights, violating the law, cyber attacks.

    None of it possible 10 years ago. 10 years from now . . . . .?

    Beautiful Creatures.

    #2 BTW, How are you liking that new free citizenship for illegals you said was not there?

    Sheeple!

  4. bobbo, the law is what happens whether you like it or not says:

    Pedro–I don’t know/recall what you are referring to. If you ever engaged in conversation, rather than turd dropping, I’d ask you for details.

  5. pedro says:

    #4 Shocker! You have no idea about nothing. We already knew that one. Like a loyal lefty loon, you only recall what you need for your agenda

  6. bobbo, the law is what happens whether you like it or not says:

    Pedro–I’ll bet “my” memory is superior to your own when it comes to my own positions and postings.

    Prove me wrong.

    Turd.

    Loon? Have you been hanging out with Alfred?

    To the topic at hand, this last decade might have been bad but it was just the warm up act. The next decade will be the one were the excrement really hits the rotary oscillator. America’s financial chickens will finally come home to roost and we will find out that we can’t afford to be a super power anymore. I would not be surprised if America becomes a fascist dictatorship. I expect the NASCAR crowd and bible thumpers to welcome it. I am sure anyone that smells of progressiveness will be put in re-education camps to learn the errors of their ways.

    Spoken like a good Christian American.

  11. bobbo, the law is what happens whether you like it or not says:

    #7–Monster, the inamorato of reasoned discourse==yes, sadly too true which motivates my short shrift and scatological challenge.

    I may have made a few references to USA’s immigration policies/actions but in the main I have not posted my main position. It takes a bit longer than this blog allows.

    I’m sure Pedro simply lumps me in with everyone else he disagree’s with, which is everyone else by the way, just as he lumps all ideas together. A perfect mishmash of generalized thinking to the point of incompetency. Sad, because I think a year or more ago he actually made some valuable input. He is capable of better thinking, just comfortable in being lazy.

    Say Pedro–even if you can’t think of anything I have ever said on immigration that you disagree with, try a generally liberal position. Hit close enough and I’ll adopt it just so you can show everyone how sheeple I am.

    Saying that, I think I have said that anyone that enlists and fights honorably in our military should be in line for citizenship. But I would allow that to be the case for people that are not even here yet. One of the few things USA seems to be able to do is fight wars. We should charge other nations for our mercenary works, and for that you need mercenaries==paid for by citizenship as well as slave wages.

    How terrible of me.

    The problem with most Christians is that they have never actually read the good book. They have their preacher give them the Cliffs notes on the “good” parts. I was raised Catholic and have read the Bible. That is why I am an Agnostic (functional Atheist). Happy Solstice season! Oh, damn, there I go attacking Christmas!

    The irony of both of your positions, is that neither of you believes the country is where it should be, or is moving in the right direction. Perhaps, using that as a start point, we can all work to change that reality. So let’s see if there is anything you can agree on, and then go from there.

    So ask yourself the following question, do you believe the statements below are where you want the country to be, because this is where we are.

    1) The health care system that this country provides is ranked 37th in the world.

    2) The current US national debt is approaching $14 trillion.

    3) The current US federal tax revenue per year is to $2.1 trillion

    4) The current interest on the national debt per year is $3.3 trillion
    http://www.usdebtclock.org/

    5) 32% of the national debt is held by foreign countries many of which dislike us intensely and would love to “own” us.

    6) The country is more philosophically divided than it as ever been,

    7) Bigotry is increasing

    8) Separation of church and government is becoming less bringing us closer to becoming a religious state.

    9) The US has more people in prison per capita than any other country in the world.

    10) Freedom of the press no longer exists with 6 corporations controlling 90% of the media and the message in the US

    11) In a time of decreasing economic stability decreasing income and increasing unemployment for the citizens of the US, 2010 has provided corporations with the largest profits in the history of the US.

    12) The present US Senate has filibustered 10 times the number of bills of any previous Senate’s in the history of the US.

    13) Approximately 200,000 veterans are homeless.

    14) More families are going into bankruptcy or have had their homes foreclosed on than ever before.

    15) The infrastructure of the US is crumbling, road, bridges, levees, sea walls, dams, drinking water systems, and energy production and transmission. (China is the largest producer of wind mills in the world.)

    16) US is now third in the world for GDP behind China and European Union.

    17) US ranks 33rd in the world for student performance on Reading, Scientific and Mathematical Literacy Scales.

    I could go on but you get the idea. We have a lot to fix and the only way we are going to prevent the further decline of the US is to work together. Pick one item and work to fix it.

  14. Improbus says:

    Simple solution? Nuke Washington D.C. and start from scratch. I can think of no other way to get rid of the rot. I can’t see either side of this debate working together. I fear this union will not much longer endure.

  15. bobbo, the law is what happens whether you like it or not says:

    #13–Sanford==my, that was a bit of work. I assume to be relevant that each of those issues was a google search from the video?

    If not, the issue between Pedro and myself is some claim by Pedro that I should be happy or ashamed ((hard to tell with Pedro’s oh so subtle use of irony)) of some USA immigration issue= which I would also assume was one of the issues shown in the google video?

    Otherwise, Pedro and you are being irrelevant. Now, with Predro, that can be assumed. Your hat however is new to the ring.

    I will then only comment on your closing Obama Like Naivete: “the only way we are going to prevent the further decline of the US is to work together.” That would be true if the differences were between men of good will, but that is not the case. Here we have Pedro and the rest of this blog. Here we have Republicans serving only themselves and their Super Rich/Corporate Clients==not the rest of Humanity seeking a fair share of the pie.

    But given your effort–re-edit to make it german to anything, or keep your powder dry for when any of the excellent subjects you raise is actually the subject of a thread: or just go for it. We can continue until the ed’s shut us down for being off thread.

  16. pedro says:

    #13 Personally, I think the US is in an unstoppable slide down and nobody that is currently in charge neither knows how to fix it nor wants to.

    BTW, be all merry with all the new legal residents. You’re all welcome to break the law in the US

  17. Cursor_ says:

    No difference from year to the next when you produce these end of year reviews.

    Shit happens. Next!

    @Pedro

    I break the law on a daily basis. Just like most other Americans.

  19. pedro says:

    #18 I’m sure you’re part of that pansy America noname (aka mustard) was talking about

  20. Improbus says:

    @Pedro

    I would say that you will be getting fit for a brown shirt but I am sure you already have one. God bless the Father Land!
