True that. Luckily, Europe (I am told) is accepting english as the universal business language. May have to move back to where my ancestors came from.

I dont think Bush won because of what he did in office, I think he won because people generally considered him the lesser of two evils. If democrats would have picked a more likable candidate I think he would have had a better chance.

Zisct1 11-03-2004 10:56 AM

Spoken like a true Texan,"GO BUSH!"

Yay team~

mrea 11-03-2004 11:01 AM

Thank you people, at least some people recognize Kerry was a terrible choice by the democrats. They should have at least tried. I mean, a terd would have been better than the Senator.

Edgar1898 11-03-2004 11:04 AM

yah, I dont agree with half of what Bush did/does. But he still won the popular vote with a 3.5 million vote lead, so I guess I'm not the only one who considered Bush a better choice than Kerry.

It's the other way around (half the people who voted for Kerry voted for him because he wasn't Bush, more or less) but your conclusion is nonetheless correct.

You know whats funny, some guy hosted a server on a game I play, and it was called GO KERRY YO THE MAN!.... the dude who hosted it was a 14 year old kid.

John Kerry, pretty upset about losing his bid to become the next President, decides to drown his sorrows away at the local pub. As he walks into the bar, the bartender looks up at him and asks, "Why the long face?"

XxMadHatterxX 11-07-2004 06:18 AM

I knew all along W was going to win. That's why I didn't take it as harshly as some of my fellow "Pro-Kerry" folks did. I was very upset, however, to find out that the exit polling results showed that the Bush supporters top reason for voting Bush was Values. What a disgusting thing now, that a certain set of people are setting values for the rest of us. It deeply upsets me.

::Sighs:: Well, only four more years...

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT IN '08!

WTF? I mean, seriously... So if Kerry was president, he wouldn't be setting values for the rest of us either? It wasn't a contest of he-with-values and he-without. It was two candidates of two different sets of values - and America felt that Bush's set of values was something they'd rather have decisions based apon than those of Senator Kerry. People said they voted for Bush because of his values - not that he has any and Kerry does not.

Kerry was such a weak canidate - too chaotic, basing his opinion on what would get him the greatest popularity. Look at his religion (a typical source of values for most Americans) - he eagerly promoted ideals that were against his belief system. Why? For votes. He's for the war, until it starts turning up bad - then he's against the war.

At least with President Bush you know what you'll have for the next four years, because he'll always take the same stance. Kerry in the presidency would be dangerous - we'd never know what to expect.

Besides, his campaining manager really lost him the election. All his votes came from the same democratic states as the last election. For the democrats to have a remote chance of winning the next election they need to sway some republic voters over, but they won't do that with such a blantant opposer of traditional-values such as either Kerry or Hillary.

Baron Sprite 11-07-2004 05:35 PM

I would rather have a president with enough foresight to change their mind on something when the people want it then someone who blindly tells the world to fuck off... also would rather have someone that would do what the majority wants, even if it is against their beliefs, that shows stronger character then FUCK U GAY BUTTFUCKING ABORTIONIST POOR PEOPLE - u got 0wned don't bother replying.

When has a certain set of people not set the values for society?

mrea 11-09-2004 03:26 AM

I'm not as much pro-Bush as I am anti-Kerry. Of course I don't agree with a lot of the things bush has done. But I believe that he was the better choice for our presidency. While yes, he may be a stubborn jackass sometimes, Kerry changes whenever the wind blows and I felt that Bush's positions were better. Dealing with abortion, I feel that it should be banned (unless someone is raped) because I'm sick of skank whores going around having sex all the time and not having to deal with anything. FUCK THEM. Welfare also (even though I don't think this was a huge issue) I see people down the street from me on welfare who have cells phones and stuff. It's total bullshit. Anyway, enough ranting, Kerry sucked balls as a candidate.

eq_addict_08 11-09-2004 05:44 AM

about to bring out some hate in me.. But, I'll hold back for now. The simple fact is, government has NO right to be regulating peoples private lives. It was set up to regulate disputes between two or more people within public life..

mrea 11-09-2004 06:39 AM

If thats so do you think there should be no welfare at all?

To be honest, yes. We should get rid of all welfare, both individual AND corporate welfare programs.

Daeath 11-09-2004 07:55 AM

Wow Baron - I'm suprised by your quick wit and copious, scholastic lexicon. Amazing.

Since when do people really know anything? Think about it - with what little brain cells any of you didn't 'shoot into the primordial ooze' with the rest of your dignity... Who really understands what's going on, as a whole, in this country - or in countries around us? First off, I'm not one of them - nor is the President. The average, typical American citizen is pretty ignorant - as a whole - to all the vast details of every issue that plagues our society. Do you know who really understands our problems and the best *possible* solution? They don't live amongst us - for the government has seen fit to lock them away in giant 'think tanks' - spilling insane amounts of greenbacks into thier lap so they never want to leave. It's the genius' of this country that rule - not the political puppet-monkey from Texas.

The President of America has so little power - pay attention tomorrow in your 5th grade class and your nice teacher will help the class understand that there are three ("3") branches of power: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. The President can't wipe America's arse without permission from the Senate, the house, and the chief justices. He may have some veto privilege, but it's very limited and weak in its use.

Bush is a great puppet - he follows what his advisors encourage him very well, because he understands that he is just like the typical American - ignorant to all the facts. Kerry's too high on himself, his money, his heritage, his fancy-ketchup wife. I don't think he'd have the humility to accept what those who really know what's going on had to say - and would want to please the average Baron for his meager vote so he could stay in office and say that he was one of the most powerful men on the planet.

Dangerous.

Amen.

XxMadHatterxX 11-09-2004 09:34 AM

"Values"? I'm sorry, but what we have as of now are just laws protecting our well-being and health. And sure Kerry was a terrible candidate, but I would have rather had him as our president than W. What they're trying to do now if force certain Religious aspects on our every day lives. That's my opinion.

Well, we are able to eat fast food every day, that would cause us heart attack be age 40. Our children can eat candy/drink soda every day, which could lead to diabetes. We can drink and smoke which lead to all sorts of diseases. So no, the laws are not just "for our health and well being."

Drugs, gambling, prostitutuion, gay marriage, abortion rights (if repealed) are ALL value based laws passed by intrusive christians pushing their belief systems on the general public.

Baron Sprite 11-09-2004 02:09 PM

big words don't do much if you force them into a sentance to try and impress people fool, learn to speak from the heart and not bullshit fed to you through the media, your eyes are glued the fuck shut irl

btw wtf are you doing talking about his money, u think bush worked his way out of the ghetto into the streets to voice for the people?

didn't I tell you not to bother replying to me? learn to size up before you step up bitch

He referred to existing laws. You referred to non-existing laws. I don't understand how you are drawing your conclusion. However, consider this: what if a law was passed which banned smoking outright? Or if fast food were outlawed? Would our rights be infringed? Would this benefit our well-being and health?

True, these may or may not be value-based. But do not assume that if law or thought seems to have a footing in "values" that it is excluded from anything else. Do you believe that everyone against legalizing pot believes so because they are some intrusive Christian?

Zisct1 11-09-2004 05:08 PM

See how it says "Former Developer" by her name? Didnt she leave?







Guess not.

Baron Sprite 11-09-2004 05:23 PM

do I even have to reply to that? I see fucking former developer, I don't see, I QUIT THE BOARDS NEVER TO RETURN AGAIN. bet you feel smart.

how about you fucking think instead of pushing reply next time?

why do you idiots keep trying? you fucking fail everytime you come up with some stupid arguement

Ok, what I was triing to show here, is that "if" laws were truly based on protection of the individual from him/herself, fast food, soda, booze, ect would have laws against them as well. So, since we do allow people to damage themselves, we just pick an choose the ways they can? No. The drugs, gambling, etc. bans, restrictions are in place because someones "value" system says "dem is bad shizzle." THat is the only reason for them at the moment.
