THE POLITICAL ARENA!!! Political Gladiators Inside!!

[lonewolf]

I'm bottling rain water and selling it in 16 ounce bottles. Half the price of store bought water. Any takers ?

No way! Bottled water is extremely expensive even at half price. I LMAO every time I see somebody with a store bought bottle of water cuz they just got incredibly ripped off.

Bottled water falls under FDA inspection guidelines and the requirements are pretty flimsy...btw, you would have to have your bottled rain water inspected by the FDA. Don't worry, they don't require much, so you won't have to worry much.

Local tap water is subject to much more stringent state EPA regulation and inspection and is screened to be safer than expensive bottled water you find at a store. Hollidaysburg water happens to be very tasty and i always keep a pitcher in the refrigerator. I was drinking a glass when I saw this post.

If you check into it, you will find that most bottled water is just processed tap water...ROFLMAO.

Of course, not to be outdone, the federal government also requires a separate redundant test on local water systems that requires a 2nd set of paperwork. Nothing like more wasted dollars pissed away with redundancy.

Once again, a big government guy inadvertantly makes my point for me.

Once again a conservative makes my point for me.

Regulations on bottled water are not strong enough. His tap water is safer because of stringent Government regulations. Which he seems to appreciate. This is typical of conservative, take away any agency that does not help them directly. If the regulation helps someone other than themselves, it's bad government. Watch for this pattern.

And I would guess he wouldn't drink rain water if it was free. Would YOU ?

BTW it is free. Anyone drinking out of their rain barrel ?

Only Bill would call for more regulations on bottled water...you are really, really out there somewhere. Not sure where.

Every federal government function that I call unconstitutional has a state version that is doing just fine. We probably piss away a trillion dollars per year on redundant federal programs whose only real purpose is to create little bureaucratic kingdoms for political cronies.

I had no idea the regulations on bottled water were so laxed until you pointed it out. I was not calling for more regulations (although it sounds like it might be a good idea). I was reiterating your point of how easy it is to sell bottled water that (by your own account) might not be as safe as your own tap water.

And since you think that the regulations on bottled water should not have the same scrutiny as your tap water, I think it is you who are way out there. Anyone see the pattern ? He doesn't drink bottled water so he does not care if it's held to a lower standard than his tap water. I didn't think he would demonstrate said pattern so quickly. But there it is for everyone to see.

EDIT: Conservative pattern:
His tap water is safer because of stringent Government regulations. Which he seems to appreciate. This is typical of conservative, take away any agency that does not help them directly. If the regulation helps someone other than themselves, it's bad government. Watch for this pattern.

Incorrect Bill. First of all, its not me, its your big federal government that thinks bottled water shouldn't have the same scrutiny as tap water.

So it is DC and you (for blindly supporting DC--by your own account) who is way out there.

Secondly, I didn't say tap water was safer...I said it was "screened" to be safer, meaning that tap water is held to a higher standard than bottled water. It does not mean that bottled water is any less safe than tap water.

And last but not least, I don't buy bottled water because its much much more expensive than tap water, which I just happen to have around the house. Anybody who reads this post and continues to buy bottled water is just pissing away money just like the federal government does.

Anybody see the pattern here? Bill likes to twist other people's posts into false statements so that he almost has the appearance of being clever.

Good Lord Bill are you serious about this post?? Everything you say makes perfect sense now.

Bill is always serious about growing the power of government. What surprises me is that he does not go all the way. Just give government all your money and they will decide how much you should keep.

This thread has officially become epic, since it's covered the gamut of the Republican primaries, political cyronism, political philosophy, taxes, and has reached its logical destination: bottled water. To quote my friend, Dirtysanchez, "We've officially run out of shit to talk about."

Disclaimer: This post should be taken at face value and is in no way intended to insult anyone who was born between 1910 and 1920, served in either the Pacific or European theater of WWII, or attempts to bash intellectualism while being a pseudo-intellectual him or herself.

[lonewolf]

It might be a typo, but I never heard of political cyronism, Paul. Is this some new form of political psychosis that I haven't heard about?

[sstuckey]

I gotta agree with ya Paul. When you have a debate over water....you have officially ran out of things to bicker about.

[f.sciarrillo]

It might be a typo, but I never heard of political cyronism, Paul. Is this some new form of political psychosis that I haven't heard about?

Cyronism - The appointment of friends and associates to positions of authority, without proper regard to their qualifications.

Sounds like Obama. Yep, it is.

Thats a good definition for cronyism, but I can't find cyronism anywhere.

[lonewolf]

Actually, using something as simple as water illustrates just how redundant and unnecessary many federal programs are.

Unless you are a big government spendthrift. Then it becomes apparent that bottled water needs more regulations. Since the world isn't sterile enough, everything needs more regulations.

I am thinking that Paul meant Cronyism, but spelled it wrong? I think that because I did a google search for "Define: Cyronism" and that is what came up.

Unless you are a big government socialist. Then it becomes apparent that bottled water needs more regulations.

And arguing over something as simple as water shows how redundant and unnecessary arguing over politics on a music website actually is. You guys really need to take up a hobby or two.

I have a few...one of them happens to be arguing over politics.

My point is quite simple.
Would you drink rain water ?
Why not ?
Too dirty ?
Why is that ?

Please...It's tongue in cheek...

Tongue-in-cheek is a phrase used as a figure of speech to imply that a statement or other production is humorously intended and it should not be taken at face value.

I'm not really bottling water either, in case you thought that was serious too...

Believe me Paul, this thread doesn't have a damned thing to do with anything about you.

All I did was ask a question and never got a good answer.
