Winner
"The devil you can get rid of; it's cat piss that never goes away." Weller
Finalists
"The worst part is that Jesus is hiding in the closet, masturbating." louis lewis
"No, Hell on earth is not really a metaphor when it comes to mortgages and the banking system. With fractional reserve lending your bank only needs to have 10% of your mortgage loan on deposit. It creates the other 90% out of thin air. You on the other hand must pay back the entire principle plus interest with money that represents actual labor.
Worse yet, to meet fractional reserve requirements your bank borrows "money" from the Federal Reserve, which creates 100% of it out of thin air as it has no reserves whatsoever.
Even worse, the US government also borrows "money" from the Federal Reserve, which it pays back with interest from the proceeds of the personal income tax.
Worse still, the US Constitution states the government should simply create money on its own -- no mention of borrowing it at interest from some self-appointed private central bank. Lincoln tried that, as did Kennedy. I guess we know what happened to them. The people controlling the central banks own everything, including most world leaders." J.D.
Honorable Mention
"Do you want to witness for Jehovah or not? Time to get your feet wet, people!" Eusless Tilley
