McCain or Obama?

My motto is "skin gets you in."

Hahahaha!

I'm obviously kidding. That rampant ignorance seen on the web disgusts me and if I thought I'd actually get members to sign up to a forum with such regulation, I'd have it on my own up and coming forum.
 
*sigh* say it ain't so! Well I'd sign up for the beta version keep us posted lol

Ok, so could simply delegate a 'playground section' of the forum where certain people aren't aloud out of.

That's where all the fun can be had.

Sign me up! That sounds fun. Isn't that what OT forums are for though? Here are some front page threads in another forum I post in just for fun.

"My observations on the appearence of posteriors in the 1980s"

"Can you choke out a dog?"

"Goth's caught porking in a confession booth"

The sad thing is that that forum probably has some of the most intelligent posters I have ever seen on it. So I don't think the IQ rule will work.

Fark used to have some of the most intelligent posters having some of the most inane discussions - often times -about boobies... but there'd be a good discussion built in - there's a huge difference between web ignorance and stupidity than being stupid for entertainment purposes...

I've debated on too many different forums and the web has r eally made people dumb and unable to research the f acts of something and form their own unbiased opinion.

Wow. As if I needed another reason to not vote for Obama. I just got an email and apparently he is the anti-Christ.

The sad thing is that Christians keep sending me these. Why don't they read their Bibles first?

Not politics and religion in the same thread.

Don't you know the answer is in the bible!?

At one point we will withdraw troops...could I see it being something similiar to the way US troops are in Japan today much later in the future? yes. At one point though Americans have to realize that you cannot force democracy on a country. Democracy has to be a grassroots effort. The people have to demand it much like we did for the founding of our own country.

Not in our lifetime they won't. It'll be like S. Korea. The US is there forever.

we can complain all we want about how bad the choices are but at the end of the day I'm thankful there are choices.

A Clockwork Orange comes to mind here... is it really a free choice?

I mean, people view the election as being between two people... which, really it is because no one else will ever beat the primary parties; however, look at it this way since the early 1980s there have only been two families in power in the United States. If Hillary had won the primaries and went on to govern for two terms.... my god, it might as well be a dictatorship in the United States.

Really, it's the same tired policies with the same shit slinging election after election.
 
Whoah, politics! Yikes.

I am with Hillary all the way, she's a good person, comes from a good family, (and besides the messy politics that people like to stain her reputation with), she's an amazing woman with good values. I was so impressed with her leadership and her campaign. Gotta give the woman her props for holding it down amongst the vultures and men.

Go Hillary!! Get it girl! Obama would be a fool not to take you with him as VP. You're his only chance!!

Ok and would you prefer a true dictatorship? My feeling is if you want to complain about the system please do. Please vote at the very least ( I know this doesn't apply to you lol just a general sentiment) or actually get involved. Yeah money talks and so do last names but every once in a while someone gets sick enough of something and stands up and makes a change. There are so many examples of that throughout history. I'm not an idealist by any means but think of it this way...if someone was extremely overweight and they sat there looked in the mirror and complained every day yet continued to eat too much and exercise too little what would you say to them? When I was little on my bedroom wall there was a quote painted on it. "Be the change you wish to see in the world" You can't sit around and wait for someone else to come along and it can be so simple. For example (yes I know I'm on a tangent) when I'm on the subway it's rare that anyone will give up their seat for a pregnant woman. I always get up and offer my seat. Every once in a while I notice a look on a few faces, that look like a little lightbulb went off. I'm not saying this will inspire them to do it in the future but sometimes people need to see someone else do it first and then it occurs to them ya know what that is something I should do.
