I wasn't trying to point you out busyman. You actually seem quite level headed which is a plus around here, not saying others are not(Just stuck in their ways) I was speaking in general as well. Usually when I see or even post something political or religious. It turns into "Me is better then you" or "My god is the only god" type arguments. Or my views are superior to yours. I hate that at times. But it's everyones right to have an opinion. I just don't like when others force theirs on everyone else or think their own is the ideal (With proof or not). I will look at it though, even if i disagree (Just don't start bashing everyone for not agreeing with your views).
I'm always up (late) I work later (in the evening) so (I usually) get out (of work) a bit later.Quote:

What got you offtomorrowtoday? :sly:
I read in The Wall Street Journal just the other day that Texan votes are starting to lean more towards Obama. It seriously had to be the most "politically" incorrect piece I've ever laid eyes on. The journalist was saying how the majority of the Hispanics were always in favor on Hillary, but in recent polls they started to lean more for Obama. The African-American community in Texas was also leaning towards Obama, but that's not a big surprise.
What astounded me was they used the term "blacks" in just about every other sentence and only referred to the African-American community as "African-American" once in their whole spiel, while never referring to the Hispanic community as "Mexicans" or any such sort.
Dude, if you're going to write a piece at least be consistent! Lol. :dry:
Well anyways, that was just a fun fact for the day. I still don't know who I'd like to vote for, but I would like to see history change. I'm tired of old white fart guys running the country, our oil, money, and attempting to implant us with microchips that control our lives.
I hate the term African American. I prefer to be called black. But I agree. We need some serious change in this country. We need to unify for the better good of mankind. I do care who you are, where you live, upbringing. I don't see that happening anytime soon. But it would be nice to see it happen one day. Everyone viewed equally in the US and in other countries. Lets just hope the next president can clean up bushes mess and turn the country around for the better good (If even possible at this point).
Did the bushes make a mess?

I expect that coming from you. You both are from the same state. I'm pretty sure your a bush supporter(The fact that you want McClain in office). It wouldn't matter what I say regarding him(You'll disagree). The country is fucked up and needs an agent of change. Obama is the change we need. I'll accept hilliary. If i really have to.
Obama doesn't really seem presidential enough to me. Whenever I see him on the news he just looks like a skinny kid :dabs:
I just can't visualise him being the leader of a superpower. Hillary scares me, but not as much as having a 71 year old has-been, who has previously tried to be his party nomination, and failed. It's like, ohhh, so now you're good enough, but you weren't 8 years ago, when Bush > You :pinch:
I think for the sake of democracy you need the other party getting in from time to time. Same with us in the UK to be honest. Things were shit after 18 straight years of the Conservatives being in power, and now Labour has had over a decade things are getting shit again...
Politics needs shaking up a bit from time to time.
Now this paragraph is where me and you come to "A meeting of the minds". I do disagree on the Obama part though. I think he is capable of making some very good 3am decisions. I don't know If i could say the same for Hillary though. Like I stated previously, McClain is just too old to run are country(He'll croak before his first 4 year term is up). He does have the war experience in his favor. I'll give him that.Quote:

It isn't like the dollar is useless, it's just down. :dabs:
And if we get a Democrat in, they'll just be giving it away anyhow. :frusty:
The dollar ain't that bad, but Europe has a lot to brag about. Hopefully are next president will get are USD currency up again. Doubt it, but still hopeful.
Are you insinuating that the dollar is down due to some "W" error? It doesn't have anything to do with who the President is. :unsure:Quote:

I'll give ewe 50p for Canadia. :smilie4:
No. But George Bush and the way he has run are country is partially the cause for it, also Rising Oil prices, Wall Street(the market crash), The overall economy failing, the mortagage crisis, crime, war (actually war is big business with bonds involved, but still.) Federal Reserve Central bank (Who we don't really need, but have been corrupted to believe we do need them, watch zeitgeist to get another perspective regarding them). It's funny to find out that bush's grandfather Prescott and Rockefeller started the Federal Reserve bank(your right, they can't decrease the cuts any further at this point). It's combination of a lot of things. Business just ain't booming in general like before, people are not even as drawn to are country as much as previous decades, years, etc. The U.K, and Europe period seems to be rising rapidly(Not a bad think, I would like to go to Europe one of these days). Everything seems to be booming oversea's. I think one day things will get better. It will take alot of hard work, time, and virtue.Quote:

All that other shit is just finger pointing... like crime. WTF does the President have to do with crime? :blink:
Crime is up or down depending on how city, county, or even state operates. Aggressive towards prosecutions, arrests, etc. The acts of the the President has little (if any at all) affect on the crime rate of any given area. I've never heard of a criminal committing a crime based on the actions (or lack of) of a President.
it's true according to this book i read (freakenomics) abortion greatly effects crime rates... more abortions less crime... you do the math..?!Quote:

I wasn't blaming George Dubya for the other things. I said he and his administration are partly responsible for the decrease of the US Dollar. Partially the reason(Think Trillion dollar deficit which is now worse then when Clinton first fucked it up). If you took the blind fold off your eyes and actually read my whole post you would've spotted that. Also crime, mortgage crisis, spending, credit, the federal reserves, wall street, low retail sales, gas prices, and high utility bills, are other reasons behind the failing dollar.:dabs: The US economy as a whole is shit right now. All those things I mentioned above have an effect on why the economy is bad or failing. The economy alway seems to fluctuate from time to time(This time not for the better). Nobody can afford to spend. Also the federal minimum wage is still near the figure its been since 1999(Just a minor increase). Slow down now before you get all PRO bush on me now.:wacko:Quote:
