One of the worst business decisions was to leave the Dennys franchise.


Hopefully America's government goes out of business as well.

I'm surprised. The few times I was there, it was always packed. Personally, didn't miss it being a Denny's but the only meals I tend to like at those type of places are the breakfasts and I rarely go out to eat those because I make a fantastic omelet. smile

I hope one day that you acquire enough money to travel to other countries, lots of them. Spend some real time in each, not just on the beaches.

Then please tell us which of those governments you would replace ours with.

I agree. But, I think the building and location are too good to stay closed for long.

Thank you! Many continued blessings to you and yours. And may your life of expatriation be restful, relaxing and fulltime wink

Why would I have to go anywhere to provide an example of a better form of government? That is a really odd thing to say. You grew up in Washington, correct?

It's been going down hill. The one in Oly got shutdown a few months ago. I love going out to eat. Love it! However, we've had to go to Monte these last few months to find anything worth it.

Me three! It wouldn't take that much to do it right if someone would focus on it's success. All the beach traffic, local loyalists. We dined in Denny's 1-2 times a month, it'd be nice to stop having to go to Monte to find a great restaurant.

Only because my form of Government doesn't fit your agenda. My side lost, remember. You're side is creating a Police/Big Brother state of paranoid citizens too scared to acknowledge their Nation is bankrupt. C'est la vie.

Thanks. We are again ex-patriots for another half year.

There is a lot to hate and distrust about our government. Often we hear the world hates us which is partly true. We are the bully and we expect everyone to back down to us. In the past we were horrible. I am not sure that today we are any better. Every horrible weapon out there has our stamp on it except the suicide bomb.

I have been lucky enough to have visited lots of other places. You can find things you like about all of them and things that you just couldn't live with. We are not perfect but if you put us on one side of a balance scale and any other country on the other, we come out best every time.

Yes. What can we do about moving it a little further south?

Was the nation "bankrupt" when Eisenhower built the Interstate Highway System? Was it bankrupt when we helped take seniors off the poverty rolls and bread lines with Medicare and Social Security? Was it bankrupt just a few short years ago when the Clinton Administration left Bush the Younger a balanced budget and a path to a surplus?

I think it was the "end regulations", "stop taxing the job creators" that put us on a path to bankruptcy. Simply raise the tax rate back up to 39.5% for the top 1%. Social Security and Medicare only need minor tweaks and their ok, too.

But, you are correct. If my side (you know the ones who think a central federal government has a roll in determining the minimum standards for what it means to be an American and a nation) continues to provide the basic services to ensure a safety net in America while your side continues to slash taxes to protect millionaires and billionaires, then we will end up bankrupt.

If they don't raise the taxes soon, your side will win by default. And, I guess, if we just put everything back to the states where they can decide to use the water hose on those protesters and we don't need no stinkin' schools and why are they regulatin' mah drinkin' water!... Damn regulations!..., then your side will have won, also.

Dude, I totally get all giddy hearing that. Can you imagine the top 1% trying to corral 50 rabid badgers?! Wow.

Was watching an animated documentary "explaining" your sides new mantra "We are the 99%". Wow, that is disgusting wealth distribution socialism propaganda.


Can you imagine that! 400 Billionares! 3.1 Million Millionares! Fucking nuts. Why would anyone want to be poor? Sheesh.
