It's the sign of the times, DT. No longer can the rest of the world look to us as a shining example of how best to transfer political power through elections. Voting "irregularities"(which are an oxymoron)...huge lines at the polls...unevolved balloting methods...waiting and waiting for the results...legal teams on retainer to bicker over the results once they do arrive...you name it. All the third-world "we're-new-to-this-democracy-thing" oddities that we once shook our collective heads over have now come home to roost. All we need is some Kingston/Port-Au-Prince-stylee gunplay at the polls in order to "complete the look"...

half the country and most of the world disagrees with that.JRogers said:
how about because stupid irresponsible hippies protest? The rest of us, although defeated, still believe in the democratic system.
You are a whiny poor loser, now keep your stupid ideas to yourself.

There are extremes at both ends, we simply need to ignore them, and those of us in the middle need to come to some sort of an agreement on things.Damn True said:
I was. Seriously, whiny morons annoy me. He claims his side lost, and then wants to protest it and riot. The man was DEMOCRATICALLY elected in a free choice election.Changleen said:
Therefore, he is a poor loser and should keep his stupid crybaby ideas to himself. Boo hoo we lost, let's go cause public disturbances, because that is what America needs most right now!
Note: I am neither republican, nor democrat, not american.
Hey, N8 annoys the crap outta me.. Sometimes you just gotta ignore.Transcend said:
He may be a poor loser, but he has every right to express his ideas, even if they are anti-social and counter productive. Anyway. this is a stupid argument to have. Let's not have it, eh?

right on!

Actually Bush got 51% of the vote (more than Clinton EVER got), and in case you flunked civics, we don't involve the rest of the world in our electoral process.Fast&Smooth said:
When was the last time the French, or any other country asked you your opinion of their elections?
They havent, ya know why?
THEY DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK!
Which is why we shouldn't give two poops about their opinion.
That said, please, please, please feel free to sally forth to Manimal's jurisdiction and raise a little hell. Go ahead. Break the law. Vandalize something. Halt commerce and emergency services. I'll be waiting for the video of your well deserved a$$-whupping on CNN. Then you can explain to us all how said actions had a positive effect.
Sorry, you are wrong. Other countries DO care about what their neighbours think. Voters also take this into account. It's called being part the international community.Damn True said:
Right now North Korea and the USA are neck and neck for insularity.
Oh bull$hit!Changleen said:
You are telling me that the opinion of New Zealanders affects the voting of Australians?
God dude that is the funniest thing I have ever heard.
Changleen said:
Aussie voter: "Hmm, wot'll the kiwis think if I vote Labour?..........Sorry mate, dunno wot I was thinkin 'ere. Piss on 'em. Let's 'it the poob and watch s'me Rugby League on the telly."
Dude c'mon, get real. Nobody and I mean NOBODY cares what people in other countries think about who THEY vote for. People vote in accordance with their beliefs and their values. If you think the Labour party will do the best job governing NZ you vote for them. You don't weigh the potential opinion of Micronesians, you do what you can to take care of yourself, your family, and your country.
bullsh1t. You vote purely on domestic and foreign affairs issues..in your own interest. Don't try and tell me otherwise, as dozens of political scientists will have proven you wrong.Changleen said:
Protest what?? The election process?Fast&Smooth said:
I voted for Kerry and hoped to God he would win. The majority of the country did not agree with me. Be thankful we can vote.
Let's see, GW forces states to sell power for manufactured crisis to benefit big business, forces striking unions back to work to benefit big business, forced your parents/grandparents to buy overpriced drugs and tried to pass legistlation to bar them from buying cheaper foreign drugs to benefit big business, has disaggreed with the world on environmental policies to benefit big business, and started a 2nd war by preying on fears of 9/11 to benefit big business.
I am still stunned.
I am still stunned.
sure, id love to watch more videos of cops owning you malicious fools
Saturday nov 6 1pm meeting at 4th/pike by westlake ceneter - we shall march.
moron, i hope you get hit with a rubber bullet.Fast&Smooth said:
Fast&Smooth said:
Your state was one that picked Kerry...WTF good is it going to do you to march in WA?
yea thank God we have some smart people in WA. It's actually statistically proven that states with low IQ's voted Bush.
I was not aware that IQ varied state to state. Please show these statistics.Fast&Smooth said:
sorry to interrupt your self-congratulation, but that page is flat out wrong. linked from it is this: http://www.economist.com/World/na/displayStory.cfm?story_id=2692859Fast&Smooth said:
now this is real data, on the other hand:
Toshi just pwn3d you!
I was under the impression the scores were concluded from SAT scores and other census. And you're still talking about 2000.
If you're dumb enough to believe you can get someone's IQ from an SAT, I guess you can just believe what you want.Fast&Smooth said:
You're oviously dumb enough to support this president. That says a lot too.
Bwaaaaahahahhaa. You got pwned again. Please find a post that says I voted for GWB.Fast&Smooth said:
actually, there is a strong correlation between SAT scores and IQ according to many sources, and it doesn't really matter as IQ is an arbitrary measure on its own. it's just that the data on the page that F&S linked to is garbage.
There may be some correlation between having a high IQ and scoring well sure, but take Hawaii for example (chosen especially for Toshi for its high asian population). Its people arent any stupider than anywhere else of course, but consider it has the worst schools or close to them in the country because of money, and yeah, the SAT scores are going to be lower there. Thats why those stats are bogus.Toshi said:
Get some compassion and sympathy for the rest of the human race.Fast&Smooth said:
And, while you are at it, pull your head out of your ass.
ao are you actually old enough to vote? I find it incredibly hard to believe that you are with a comment like that.Fast&Smooth said:
So apparently you are BARELY old enough to vote. How about you grow up, and stop acting like a spoiled brat? BOO HOO you don;t like losing, guess what? That is life. The system works, no matter how convoluted it is.Fast&Smooth said:
Mommy and daddy aren't taking out loans to pay for college for you so that you can waste time and protest a free and democratic election system.
BTW, no i do not support bush, nor do I support Kerry. They are both complete morons.
