Hey, Americans...

Listen LBP 76 my only sin here is pride for my country, I'm neither Democrat nor Republican. I hate both parties equaly for seeing how they've torn this great nation of ours in two. Personaly I wouldn't be happier than if a powerful third party smacked them both around and shoved them both aside. Nor would I be happeir than if we kicked lobbyist out of Washington, like I said before they are mucking up the works.
Trust me as well when I say I am very well informed on what other people from outside the U.S. think of us as well as American politics. However thank you for your concern. Just try to be a little less threatening when you try to inform someone next time. :thumbsup:
My only problem tomorrow is that Obama is not exactly the prince that everyone thinks he is. He's very charming I'll give him that. However you need alot more than charm to get the job done. After all a president in the U.S. ( thank god for our system of checks and balances ) isn't the only one who can get the job done. What people very often forget is that a candidate can promise a whole lot, but in the end will everything he promise get through congress? What we need is a president that can work congress. And that's why I hate lobbyists, because they infleunce congress more than the president does. Lobbyist should all be kicked out of Washington the blood sucking leeches that they are.
Then again MacCain seems to promise a whole lot as well, but nobody seems to want to listen to him, ugh who to vote for who to vote for.
What I'm certainly not going to do is listen to some advice through a thread in a porn forum on who to vote for, unless someone can give me some mature unbiased solid advice on who would GET THE FUCKING JOB DONE.
So on that note goodnight cupcake. :thumbsup:
I dislike anything that subverts thinking. And that is exactly what 'faith', aka belief in God, does. It's a form of non-thinking.
Now Sam, I never referred to myself as "great". I never said that I was "the answer". In fact, I believe that faith doesn't give you answers, it just stops you from asking questions.
Furthermore, the fact that I don't believe in God isn't a sign I'm a "lonely and angry man". It's a sign that I'm not deluded.
Remember this Sam. A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if nobody believes it.
I'm sorry you took what I said personaly and yes I agree some forgiegners do know more than, sadly, many Americans about our politics. Did I also mention I hate corn fed rednecks as much as I do assuming foriegners and lobbyists?
By the way I do and have known many people outside the U.S. some are cool and some are assuming. I used to know this great looking gal from Brazil, we would talk politics quite often among other things...lol I miss her, but I guess we weren't ment to be. :dunno:
^Hey look everybody. Here are some more wrong ideas about Obama.
He's not gonna take your guns dude. And you are more likely to get struck by lightening than you are to shoot someone in self defense.
Why does every gun toting republican think that he's gonna shoot a home intruder one day like they're some sort of cowboy vigilante? It's not gonna happen bro. This isn't a Charles Bronson movie.
Trust is earned, not given away.
And stop calling me 'cupcake' or I'll think up a condescending nickname for you.

Not going to do it. We could ship him to you.
Do you want him?

Hey everyone,
Let's just vote. I know we influence other countries, I know we also need to worry about ourselves. I also think that I wish I could take parts of both candidates that I like, but I can't because of the dominant two party system. Regardless, everyone should just vote and be quiet. Most likely your "informed" vote is going to be cancelled out by the guy with an IQ of "75" in the line behind you. Do your part and then let the system of democracy (I think we still have one) take over. But....please...please....please don't bitch about whatever the outcome is. It isn't becoming of adults who know better and it isn't very spirited in the system of democracy. If you believe in the system (I still do) then suck it up when it gets a result, even if not in your favor.
P.S. I know I am dumb, but I am trying to do better.

That was a quote above and it gets me thinking so I appreciate it.
This throws me for a loop....I really do struggle with this. I own many guns, and to be honest....they are "fuck off" shiny ones. Assault rifles, handguns, shotguns (hunting and assault). I have lived in several foreign countries some guns are really hard to get, others they are openly available. The ones with fewer guns seemed to have lower crime rates, so I struggle. BUT....I also, own the guns I do, not because of home intruders as I own a home in Iowa while I am overseas (see...home invasion is less likely...hehe), rather I own them in the militia anti-government sense. I do not like the idea of someone in power in our country who does something drastic and I only have a baseball bat to combat a tank and 15 national guardsmen. I am not worried about "W" doing this, but of those of you that are not a fan...imagine if he was worse? Imagine if he started the "global domination" towards american citizens? This is my "leftest" view of why I like my firearms. I'm an idiot I know. Voted for the "W" first term, and didn't vote, due to absentee ballot issues the second term, but I still like my guns. With or without him.
Wow! I'm done rambling and I need to go meet some friends.

:rofl2:
Wait... Aint Bush administration tooled the constitution with The Patriot Act?
Oh... And not that i support Socialism but havent you noticed that several socialists country economy isnt as bad as yours? Even China's economy (marxist working slowly his way toward capitalism) is stronger and healthier!
Greatest country that the world ever seen? Come back to say that in 1950 years. Rome empire haven't been the world dominant, establishing new stardards of living and somewhat promoting democracy for 50 or 100 years!
Ok... im too serious now... better if im just go back to :rofl2:

close minded?
narrow vision?
I don't know for sure but you see things one way and one way only.
There are many reasons to own a gun.
There are many gun laws in place already.
getting a gun legally is not that easy.
Self defense, country is invaded, target practice.
As long as a gun owner uses his weapon in a legal way, why should anyone deny that person of the right to do so?
And its not just a republican thing.
It ain't gonna happen?
thats what most people say, before it happens.
Personally, I was the victim of a home invasion recently.
2 hours of being tied up with a gun in my face and a knife at my throat.While 4 men ransacked my home and repeatedly threatened my life..If my GF was with me that day they probably would have raped her.
Definatley a life changing experience.
If I had a gun I could have and would have protected myself.
So who is anybody or any government to deny me that right?
With Obama, there will be more gun laws for law biding citizens.
however criminals will still have thiers and have even more inscentive to use them knowing almost everyone is un-armed..
False.
There is less gun crimes in countries with harsher gun laws than you have in the US.
The only correlation there is with firearms and crime is: the more weapon there is in circulation in a country, the more firearms crimes there will be.
Im not in favor (or not) regarding gun control but its not a valid argument in my opinion.
My :2 cents:

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
I didn't take anything you said to be personal. I was just making a point. Just because you are born and raised somewhere, doesn't mean that you're an expert on how your land operates. I was raised in Cleveland, so I'm well-educated on "how it works" over there, but I know that there are people who understand it's politics a lot better than I do...even if they've never stepped foot in Ohio before.
I'm just saying.
I would agree with MP here. Just look at how drug laws are enforced in this country. It's illegal to possess drugs, yet...look at how many people have easy access to them. The same will work for guns, keeping them in the hands of the wrong people.
There are threads about "Gun Control", so I won't really go into it here, but...
If you make gun-ownership illegal in the US, people will find a way to obtain them anyway. People with criminal connections will have the advantage at this point, as they would be connected with the "right" people and have easier access to illegal guns. If they can't get a gun, they'll just use another weapon. So, what would we really be accomplishing by banning guns? :dunno:
:2 cents:
Ok. :glugglug:
We will have the chance to discuss about this eventually. This kind of subject usually come up regularly on forums.
For now, lets agree to disagree :thumbsup:
I'll vote for those wonderful oiled up titties on your avatar..who do they belong to??
I have a lot of respect for her,she would have made good choice as well.Might have been even better then her husband and I think most of us think the Clinton years were pretty damn good compared especially to what followed.
