Politics

I don't know if any of you have noticed the recent influx of political debate in trade channel, but it makes me ashamed to an American.
I recently submitted at GM ticket, and after the matter was settled, the GM asked me, "Is there anything else I can do for you." So I thought to myself, yes... yes there is something he can do for me.
I replied to the GM's question with "There is a multitude of people debating the upcoming election in trade channel. The statements and arguments are uneducated, not backed by any facts, and in all regards assanine. These people are doing nothing but parroting what they hear from mommy and daddy and their "objective" news channels. They have done none of their own research and are making ignorant, blanket statements that are often times completely false, racist, or altogether made up on the spot. They are making both parties look bad and making me want to move to a different country. I want you to kill them."
After a lengthy pause in our conversation the GM replied with "That is a harsh punishment for giving one's oppinion even if misguided. But, I will look into it."
Now, I know nothing will be done, and ignorance breeds ignorance.... but I like to imagine a GM walking around as Arthas Menethil-the Lich King- mowing idiots down with the Frostmourne as they beg for their annoying lives.... /sigh.
Alas, to rip off and bastardise Dikymo's signiature-

While we're on the subject
Dufe — Mon, 10/13/2008 - 06:13While we're on the subject of educated converstation, let's get some real economic terminology and thinking in here. First, I'm not here to say I endorse either candidate. I'm just clarifying a couple things.
Exactly why I used the term

Wolfie — Sun, 10/12/2008 - 23:18It's not that I don't like Obama... it's just that his policies dance with communism, and I like what little rights I have left.

Don't get me wrong, I love
Wolfie — Sun, 10/12/2008 - 15:46Don't get me wrong, I love debating politics... but debating with people who have no idea what they are talking about is alot like teaching a retard math: they will never grasp the concept, and you are wasting your time.

However. Their is no way
Blizzhax — Sun, 10/12/2008 - 17:13However. Their is no way you can point to one of the candidates and say without a shadow of a doubt that one is right. (and in most cases neither policy will be absolutely right: I may vote for a candidate that tells me about a healthcare plan or one that gives me a better chance stem cell research wise)
Which is why politics is often skewed and played through the media so the uniformed can make decisions based on that.

Caronte22 — Sun, 10/12/2008 - 13:56but if we don't talk and it get to quiet then grasen get bored and random md start

Dikymo — Sat, 10/11/2008 - 22:52I listend to Rush on the radio today for the first time since he said 911 happened because iraq is afraid of rush limbaugh. He has totally lost all touch with reality. Apparently Obama is going to win because moderate independants are afraid of Rush Limbaugh. WTB my own radio show.
