Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: scribbles on June 11, 2014, 02:33:15 AM Why is that liberal? Paul Krugeman is a liberal, in the context of US politics. It will be interesting/humorous to look back at bitcoin naysayers in the same way! Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998...

Sure, but the prediction has nothing to do with liberalism... it's just a prediction by a liberal economist.. who bitcoiners hate with a passion, because he's saying the same thing about bitcoins. Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: bryant.coleman on June 11, 2014, 04:42:12 AM Just for comparison purposes:
Bitcoin Is Evil (The Conscience of a Liberal, Paul Krugman) http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/28/bitcoin-is-evil Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: beetcoin on June 11, 2014, 04:44:44 AM sometimes i feel like paul krugman is just a troll.. and the more we react to his taunts, the more he likes it. more and more people will start talking about him.
so, i'm going to try and sign off on him. he's the liberal version of a republican troll. Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: Ron~Popeil on June 11, 2014, 05:14:47 AM He is a committed liberal bomb thrower that thrives on the attention people give him. Kind of like the liberal Ann Coulter.

Post by: boraf on June 12, 2014, 08:23:35 PM Krugman has never been right about anything.
Just ignore him and let him go away. Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: RodeoX on June 12, 2014, 08:29:43 PM I'm liberal, and I never said that. So by the same logic a liberal prediction from 1998 might be said to be " The internet will grow into one of the most important tools of modern life". That's what I thought.
Wow, because I thought that... Liberals must be super smart! :D Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: beetcoin on June 12, 2014, 08:33:04 PM He is a committed liberal bomb thrower that thrives on the attention people give him. Kind of like the liberal Ann Coulter. yeah, that's the person i would compare him to.. although i don't think he is as inflammatory as ann coulter. he's just the kind of guy that thrives off of controversy. is it me or does anyone else find ann coulter hot? kind of like the way you are attracted to the village whore.

Wow, because I thought that... Liberals must be super smart! :D Sorry... To belong to the famous liberal club you need at least a Nobel in your pocket and feel superior to everyone. But of course you can still be super smart.. But not krugman super liberal smart.... :-) Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: commandrix on June 12, 2014, 10:04:58 PM The trouble with that prediction is that everybody absolutely has to get their two cents in even when a topic doesn't have anything obvious to do with them. Even trolls have something to say. And of course I can usually get a good debate going between two complete strangers if I want to find a very active forum and post something so controversial that you absolutely have to click on it just to see what people are saying.

Kind of like the liberal Ann Coulter. "liberal" Ann Coulter? I'm suspecting the liberal version is what was meant. Two sides of the same coin and what not. Being a political shock jock is certainly profitable. Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998...

Being a political shock jock is certainly profitable. there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of opportunity as a liberal though.. hate krugman if you like, but at least he's not a glen beck or rush limbaugh. i can't think of any other liberal who is worse than krugman too. Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: negafen on June 13, 2014, 04:59:17 PM Krugman is the product of america education system.
That kind of tell you how bad education is the in US. Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: bitsmichel on June 13, 2014, 05:01:31 PM Either this prediction is way off, or fax machines are awaiting a revolution...
Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: Charlie Prime on June 13, 2014, 05:06:17 PM Paul Krugeman is a liberal, in the context of US politics. Paul Krugeman is a liberal in the context of dumb-asses who don't know what the word liberal means. Liberals believe in Liberty, less government, and Freedom. Is it surprising that American society is crumbling when the majority of its members don't even know what words actually mean? No. Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998...

Post by: commandrix on June 13, 2014, 06:05:05 PM Krugman is the product of america education system. That kind of tell you how bad education is the in US. even if he won a Nobel? Nonsense. A Nobel means nothing when Al Gore can win one for creating a stupid PowerPoint presentation and beat out somebody who risked her life to help people escape the Holocaust.

Well in the US, you could go down the list of multimillionaire MSNBC hosts. While they denounce each other on the air, you put the Fox and and MSNBC pundits in the same room they will laugh all the way to the same bank. Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: Carlton Banks on June 13, 2014, 09:42:17 PM Allow me to echo the "that word doesn't mean what you think it means" sentiment.
What Krugman said was conservative. If you're thinking "that is wrong krugman is a liberal", stop posting (and stop that thing where you remind yourself to breathe in and out) Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998... Post by: Malok on June 13, 2014, 11:29:07 PM Regardless if he's liberal or not...still an amusing prediction. Definitely didn't work out too well for him. :)

If you're thinking "that is wrong krugman is a liberal", stop posting (and stop that thing where you remind yourself to breathe in and out) I guess his prediction about bitcoin should be considered "conservative" too, based on his past track record then... You are allowed to echo whatever you want :D Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998...

Post by: tinof on June 15, 2014, 04:35:22 PM Should not associate this idiot to liberal.
If conservative have it their way, we will all still be living in the cave right now. Title: Re: Famous Liberal Prediction: June 10, 1998...
