    bush it was oil
    obama it's ge and green

    the only difference is who is lining their pockets.
    Lol, and health care is the new boogie man.

    We actually need a 3 party system at the very least, with a possibility of an elected prime minister of no particular party to countermand stupidity.

    Let's start the Immortal Flames party IRL. I chose you darkstar as the speaker.

    you want to bring up health care which is a great example of exactly that. obama says rep's want grandma to die, but then says he is setting up a panel that may decide a heart transplant is not going to help because they have already lived long lives. members of his own party talks about how horrid it was for our former vice president to have the heart transplant just a few weeks ago.

    exactly what i mean by saying one thing and doing something else.

    anyways enough political speak and i won't respond beyond here. i've said all that needs to be said.

    I mostly agree with this.

    Not meaning to bash us here in the states, but there is always room for improvement for everyone, and the states were founded with the principal that we the people would stride to build a thriving and free nation.
    That's true, they do apologize to "their" people, but they still look on other nations as "less than" equals. America as a nation and as a people is young and arrogant, but those go hand in hand.

    Your absolutely right, let's not get into this mess, or the African one, and how both were started before the U.S. existed, what with things like the Boers.

    That is one of the most obnoxious things people do. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks it's "less than great".

    yes, agreed. i enjoy a good debate, but figure we'd better back off it before someone outside of us got offended and the dev's decided to get involved.

    enjoy easter tomorrow

    Yeah, it's what's in. The thing all the cool kids are up to these days.

    It was profoundly bad on Aion. People would actually start posts to lure others in so they could ambush 'em with an "absolutely hilarious" picture, or otherwise "rickroll" them.

    If you want to pay for someone else's healthcare, be my guest, but don't force a fellow human into paying it.

    Not that this has any bearing on anything at all, but Aion refused to run on either of my rigs, I was so pissed I payed for it. lol
