And most of all, I dislike debating with females (no offense, no woman-hater)... females tend to have all those attributes that I've mentioned, and those are the types of attributes that ruin the fundamentals of debates. And we all know that men and women think completely differently than each other.

You have read Fae's posts, right? Because your theory would definitely exclude her. I respect that you have an opinion on the matter, but I don't respect your opinion.

You're a f**king idiot.

Those comments are entirely unnecessary and really uncalled for. I'm pretty liberal in my approach to moderating here, but please at least make an attempt to be civil, especially in this forum. It's in the forum rules, which are listed above (and are visible even as I type this response).

I would say that Nate (NoSex), Fae(Spirited Away), Sammi (ersatz) and Brandon are the best Debaters, in my opinion. They present their arguments logically and don't push their opinions on others.

Was that Fae who claimed our country is not in recession, when it clearly is? If so... I rest my case.

It was her. I agree with her, though. Economic downturn =/= recession. People made some stupid choices, some really stupid choices, and there are people who are hurting. There are plenty of people who are doing just fine. I've felt nothing of this "recession". Anyways, we'll just see how things turn out :)

Can you give me an example of a recession prior to the one that I as well as many many many many many other economists agree exists today?

Look up the word recession, that's exactly what's been goin on for a few years now. Specially with the fact that the war in the Middle East is costing us 12 billion dollars a month. =\

We can't call this a downturn, unless you plan on calling every day a down turn for economy. Downturn only happens once per period, not consistently, if that's the case, then it is called, "recession". Technically speaking.


downturn

A decline in security prices or economic activity following a period of rising or stable prices or activity. Even strong bull markets are subject to occasional downturns.



This isn't happening, because the fact of the matter is, every time the stocks (generally) go down 10 points, it goes up 5 points... this is like gas prices. Every time the gas goes up 20 cents, it drops 10 cents, then rises another 20 cents, and drops another 10 cents... the gas is "increasing". There's no upturn in the stocks and anyone who's claiming their is, is a lethargic lying devil.


By the way I listen to 610AM (which is a right-wing republican/conservative radio channel)... economy is always the open argument of the morning. And they put a lot of economists on their radio show which all agree that the economy is going through a recession slowly but surely.
