SBR Civil War Is Imminent

[SpreadSniper]

I have an Amex Black Card, and I love the USA.

Nowhere else on earth I'd rather live. Not even close!

So you spend over 250k/yr on CC and have a CC limit of over 21k/month?

Opester........are you General Contractor? Home Builder? You previously mentioned you were in "construction", but a ditch digger like BrOnxer isn't spending $250K a year on his AMEX card to even begin qualifying for the Black "Centurion" Card.

I should have read the balance of the thread before my post.

Lets not forget the $5K "join" fee and $2500 to $3000 annual fee just to hold the card.

All cc's look black at night with the lights are off.

My ex-partner when I was in fund management/financial trading had one for years, he got it as a comp upgrade from the Platinum card and refused to pay the annual fee markup from Platinum -> Black a year later, they didnt really argue much and waived it, and he used some of the points earned to cover the platinum level fee, so was basically zero cost to him to carry/use it

Love America, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't be better. The government is allowing politicians to put their personal ideas and agendas ahead of what is good for America in general. The country is getting further away from the ideals origionally put forth in the Bill Of Rights and the Declaration Of Independence.

[stealthyburrito]

did miss something, why are we voting on civil war??

I've had the Centurion for about 5 years now. The biggest advantage is the record keeping Amex offers. All your charges are separated and detailed in a bound folder. It eliminates any questions. Amex also offers fantastic security. The few times I've had to question or dispute some substantial charges, they've instantly handled it. No problems or hassle at all. Nothing bad to say about Amex.

The card is also made of 100% titanium....which is just cool!

Mike, I was born and raised in Detroit.

i assume you have good credit. out of control gambling destroyed my credit. this was a few years back when books accepted CCs.

Blind faith in leadership is what extended the '2nd coming of Bush' mistake to a second term, despite giving Halliburton an Amex Black Card tied to the US Treasury.


Bravo ... bravo ...

Far too many things I learned in history class and in govt studies back when I still lived in Chicago have gone by the wayside nowadays, and far too many individuals like Mike think lack of absolute blind faith in the US govt = treason.

Think the Arizona immigration laws are a bit heavy-handed? You're branded as a socialist
Think that we not only stepped over the line but trampled it with torture methods? You're considered a terrorist sympathizer
Think that your home is your castle? Think again

Personally I blame the Fox Propaganda News Channel for halving the average IQ over the last 10 years.

And I voted for Kirk Cameron, as there was no voting option which reads "I love my country but feel it is misguided in many ways ..."

well said chachi

[BigdaddyQH]

I love America. What other country would allow some of the Anit-American rhetoric that you see in here to even be posted if those posts were about their country? There are some in here who love Obama and Liberals, and some in here who hate Obama and Liberals. The fact is that being Americans, we can openly debate, discuss, and argue our differences. Sure there are many things that can be improved, but that is the way things have always been since the inception of America.

For those of you that hate America, why not simply leave? There are many countries that would love to have you. Canada and Mexico are close to America. Move there. Some have, and aparently like it. What I am telling you people is simply this. If you hate America, don't let the door hit you in your ass on the way out.

prove it

[Deep_Rest]

For the past 5 years I volunteered for Peace Corps in Tanzania, and spent 3 years teaching English in Japan, China, and Thailand. All of which led to an amazing experience.

I came back to America in Oct. 2010. Now, while most of my friends are enjoying careers, I'm sitting alone in my dingy apartment in Santa Monica (Calif.) typing on SBR forums. As miserable as my life currently is, it still feels damn good to be back! I love traveling abroad, but home is where the heart is. I can never see myself living long term anywhere else. America for life!

[Cap dat 4ss]

prove it

um, have you seen the guy. Have you seen his house. Did you see the seats he posted his video from at the Rangers game. Guy would have no doubt been in a luxury suite if he hadn't wanted to enjoy some sun. If Opie says he's got the black card, Opies got the black card.

[Brick]

Love it, but not sure i like the direction we are headed

[Iced]

People who say "if you don't love America, then leave" are some of the most obnoxious and uneducated people I've ever encountered in my life.

America was founded on the principle of being able to hold dissenting opinions from the government. The inerudite masses who continuously utter the above quote like it's some kind of intellectual masterpiece really do a great job of showcasing their absolute ignorance when it comes to American history.

[Sunde91]

Patriotards chucked.
Liberal douces chucked.

Taking my chances with Kirk Cameron.

[NYER5680]

Love America could be much worse.

[Cougar Bait]

Kirk Cameron might beat out hate America

That right there should tell you guys something

That Growing Pains was the sh*t?

No, the VOTING ELECTORATE in America is allowing politicians to create or continue with a bloated, out of control government. It has been the plan for decades. When the government has 20% of all citizens receiving some form of government assistance to live that is what happens. It is the product of a population growning more lazy and ignorant by the day.

Civil War?

great country even better people..lucky to be here!

Nos, you seriously believe that any dissent whatsoever is unpatriotic?

I mean, wow ... how can one argue against that point-of-view as it could never be an intelligent exchange of ideas and views as your side would be waiving the 'treason' card from the get-go ...

Although I'm a "love it" guy....................I do agree with the above "lazy" and "ignorant" comment. Too many people who are capable of working remedial jobs choose to sit on their as$es and let others pay the bill.

[chachi]

sadly WW ... many of them are better off in terms of 'net cash in pocket at month-end' by being on welfare/unemployment/etc than they would on minimum wage working less than the full-time schedule and thus without any benefits/etc whatsoever, and its worse in the UK where you are actually incentivized against working when living off the public largess since they reduce benefits equally for every cent earned by working.

I realize they are better off in terms of "net cash in pocket" by not holding a minimum wage job and milking our government. But, the fact that these lazy bums don't understand (or care???) that the only way to move up the financial ladder is by holding a real job. Oh, and a byproduct of sitting home and milking the government is too much idle time on their hands which leads to crime and having babies they can't afford.

[chachi]

Not arguing that angle with you in any way ... just to me if someone's on welfare, what is the harm letting them earn another couple hundred a month without penalizing them severely? Get them back out into the working world and used to / enjoying what it brings, after all many part-time jobs become full-time ones once you show you can be depended upon and are a diligent worker and I honestly think a large number of welfare recipients would happily get off the food stamps and rent assistance if they believed they could get a job paying enough to make it worthwhile

You should worry about all the money the US gives to other COUNTRIES, instead of some "lazy" AMERICAN douche.

Thankfully for you ignorance is still a protected form of free speech ...
