You guys should just come to America, we're much bett--
Oh, wait, we've just elected a president that wants to make us the United Soviet Kingdom of Canada 2.0.
But I still support him. =)

Our healthcare system blows. It's free for everybody... but it blows.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: we need a 2-tier system.

And that's different from the way it works now? Even if you have to wait, it's a lot better than not getting anything at all. There are plenty of people who don't seek medical assistance because they simply can't afford it. That's infinitely more ridiculous than having to wait, in my opinion.

Which means everything has instantly changed overnight.
Seriously, you guys are annoying. And by "you guys" I don't mean Zang and Pinky. I mean anyone who thinks they know exactly what the country will be like four years from now. It happens on both sides of "the aisle." Bitch and moan then there's actually something to bitch and moan about.
EDIT: The thing that you guys do that does irritate me can be found in this thread also. And this time I do mean people like Zang and Pinky. Instead of leaving this thread alone and letting people who voted for Obama "Celebrate" (notice the clever wording of the thread's title) that the candidate they support got elected, you have to come in shit all over everything.
For some reason, it's taken this long for someone to say knock it the fuck off. You don't like it, don't check the thread. I know, I know, it's hard, but I think you guys can manage.

My apologies. I will keep my opinions to myself from now on -- I was out of line. Like I said originally, I support you, Barack Obama, as my president. =)
Celebrate - Rem-13 - 11-08-2008
I don't think rad was saying to keep your opinions to your self, but would rather a separate thread.
Celebrate - Vad - 11-08-2008
Congratulations to Obama supporters. I honestly can say I have my own views. Radical they may be. I don't care what he does.
My goal:
Live
Make Money
Be Legal
Married
Sex
Sex
Sex
Old Age
Retirement
Death
I don't want to think about, OMG GLOBAL WARMING. No, please no. I want to live my life in the world that has been set up for me. I will make decisions as I get them. Voting for a president based on things that appeal to me. I was ignorant before, I apologize. Socialism...as it makes me shudder. My own views aren't any better.
I favor many things of Monarchy. I googled what I call myself, and I found some weird shit.
I am a Conservative Monarchist. And I live my own life, supporting who ever helps me achieve that goal. But if your going to be a complete idiot. I won't support you. This has been a public service apology and repromand on myself.
Cya.

Purely out of curiosity, what do you like about monarchism?
Celebrate - Rem-13 - 11-08-2008
A Benevolent Dictatorship really is the best short term system of government a country could have. Good luck when its time for a successor.

I know few aspects of Monarchy. I am still learning. I AM IN NO WAY, EDUCATED Enough for these opinions. Super Buu, you may correct me, but try not to rip my head off. I am admitting my fault. T.T
I like the public executions. The fear instilled into the public for committing crimes. The courts sucked, bribery and fear was too...uh..powerful for a court to accurately work.
Now, we have inmates not caring about going to jail. So what if we threatened to remove their hands for stealing? Decapitating for Rape, Murder, Theft? And in the middle of Time Square. I know that with today's mind set, none of this would work, because people just don't give a shit, and we'd need to become dictators to control the uproar. >.>
But its nice to have a view that no one else understands.
I am sure there are things I'm missing. I'm constantly learning...
DONT HURT ME!
Celebrate - Super Buu - 11-08-2008
None of those things are required aspects of monarchism, they're just things that monarchs have tended to do in the past.

I think what Baldwin is trying to say is we should resurrect Hammurabi. Then the world would be amazing. According to him.

I agree. I want to be able to fuck things up for future generations without any fear of consequence.
Just messing with you. =P

If global warming is even happening. Or if it's not just a naturally occurring phenomenon.
Don't forget there are just as many - if not more - researchers against the theory of greenhouse gas-caused global warming as there are for it.

I think the major problem with the global warming debate is that most people have a very strong vested interest in the belief that it's a myth. And there are a lot of people with a very good reason to perpetuate that idea, namely the entire fuel industry. The 'research' is skewed pretty horribly. I personally haven't done anywhere near enough of my own research for my opinion to be qualified on the subject, but I lean away from the 'myth' opinion merely because insofar I don't know any convincing reasons that people would want to perpetuate an idea that forces them to lower their quality of life.

How you didn't get that I was joking, I'll never know.

There is lots of money to be made in "green" products Superbuu. They are sometimes more expensive to make which means more charged.
edit: not saying thats the reason per se, but people are benefiting the shit outta this
Celebrate - Super Buu - 11-09-2008
Matt - I was talking to Bra, yo
Tobias - yeah, I knew there would be some benefits to it, I just meant that I hadn't thought about it enough to come up with any. Those are good points.
Celebrate - Sage - 11-10-2008
I don't particularly care either way, to be honest.
Arguments from both sides are usually pathetically weak, but it appears that the strongest argument in my opinion is that it is occurring but it's a natural phenomenon and has nothing to do with us. At worst, we're accelerating it, nothing more.
Seems to make sense. The Earth does naturally warm and cool all the time. We only had an ice age like 10,000 years ago. No reason to assume the Earth wouldn't continue to warm as time presses on. It stands to reason it would eventually cool someday again, too.
