They don't know shit about shit.

I'm sure they interviewed people who did know what was going on. It's a lot more entertaining to listen to dumb asses.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It's the majority its a scary world in the midwest, ask cole, he knows! these people are nuts.</body>

I was thinking that about the first video. You go to a republican rally in a small hick town and ask them how rad Obama is, then publish it under the pretense that it's the average Americans opinion. Cute.</body>

      <body>There are thousands upon thousands of people who think exactly like everyone in that video. They have no reason to be afraid of terrorists, but they are. They also have the right to vote, and they utilize it to their fullest.

Even up around northeast ohio, Obama is a pretty strong candidate, but for every sign I see of his, I see cardboard cutouts of McCain and Palin a few houses down, and a dozen more McCain signs to boot.

      <body>This isn't why he won't be elected, but it's why he'll be in severe danger if he does. Also, that Stern shit is hilarious. No one votes on issues. It's insane.

I don't believe that at all. Sounds like one of those liberal conspiracy theories. Gallup is in the bag for Obama? Every polling group is in the bag for Obama?</body>

Yeah that was great. I love when Sal does bits in Harlem. I cringe when Stern talks about politics though, he's so clearly out of touch on that issue.</body>

      <body>saw that first video yesterday, ridiculous. super sad that people are that ignorant and that the current administration (and others) have trained people to fear anyone who isn't a white christian. 

and while on the subject, i still can't believe that video with mccain taking the mic from the woman saying obama is "an arab".

i almost want to applaud him for telling someone how it is for once, but to say he isn't an arab, he's a decent family man? right, cause all arabs are terrorists and bad family men?

i don't know, maybe i'm crazy, but to me
white = black = mexican = arab = whatever. any of these people are capable of harming/killing people. </body>

are you proud of your country?

I'm not proud of mine.

      <body>hahaha, thanks for the fair and unbiased fox news link

"For the first time in &lt;b&gt;my adult lifetime&lt;/b&gt;, I'm &lt;b&gt;really&lt;/b&gt; proud of my country"

much different than her saying it's the "first time" shes &lt;b&gt;ever&lt;/b&gt; been proud of her country.

it's especially obvious if you hear it in context. it's all about connotation.</body>

      <body>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;levi! said:&lt;/cite&gt; what happened with obamas wife saying that she hasnt been proud of america until now

thats kinda shady&lt;/blockquote&gt;

How is that shady? I don't buy into this philosophy of exceptionalism that the Republicans talk about all the time. How can we improve if we think this country is perfect? How can this be a democracy if we do not openly criticize it?

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;levi! said:&lt;/cite&gt; im proud that i live in a country where im free to do whatever i want

sorry&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i see it different then you. i hardly see all people as being "free". i see tons of favoritism, and tons of negativity towards all races, except white.

when we do something truly commendable, i'll take that all back. do i think we are better than most countries, absolutely. but i still think we lack a lot when it comes to freedom of religion, expression, human rights, etc.</body>

      <body>Both videos just show how misinformed both supporters are.  It's actually pretty ridiculous.  I feel bad for the electoral process in general now.

I'd say that the first video and the sentiments in that one just shows how fearful people are of change and whats unfamiliar to them.  It's really terrible, and i'm glad that Mccain set the record straight, I just wish he had done it sooner.  </body>

sucks for your cousin, and i'm sorry they had bad care, but that is ONE case. you really are gong to base your whole world view on one incidence?

please tell me a few things that happen here that are worthy of great praise or pride?

There's a difference between being proud of what this country is supposed to be and being proud of it's actions. This country was built on solid principles. The Constitution is brilliant. 

But that does not mean you should be called un-American if you criticize it, and it does not make you un-Patriotic to love what this country is supposed to be but be ashamed of some of its actions.

Blind patriotism is dangerous. I'm paraphrasing here, and I wish I could remember who to attribute this to, but recently a Congresswoman said "You guard Democracy with criticism".</body>

yeah and just so you know (because it looks like you haven't actually lived in another country), i'm living in Ireland right now (which has the number 2 rated hospital for cancer research and surgery in the U.K., by the way), wich has made me realise just how ignorant the rest of the world thinks america is.  it doesn't make me very proud.  how about you?

      <body>personally, im sick of extremists. 

both the extremely conservative (as well as fundamentalist religious people) and the extremely liberal. 

i would say i lean towards the liberal side of things, but i hate it when other liberals feel the need to be the opposite extreme of the people shown in that video and act like tree hugging barefoot hippies and crusty gutter-punk anarchists all the time...much like how that video probably makes some conservatives feel like those people make other conservatives look bad and help create the stereotype of all republicans being old crotchety bible-thumping white racists...</body>

this is what I meant. I think we have great potential and some excellent history - but have lost our way a bit over the years. i am not just blaming this on Bush, republicans, etc.

i am still here because i feel like we still have some good going on and that we may be able to get back to where we should be in due time.

that said -- i really need to get back to work! haha</body>

      <body>lol IM not proud of this country, because we elected a fucking retard and were tangled in a gigantic diplomatic and economic mess...does that make me un-patriotic?

i remember if you were at all against the war you were speaking out against the government and everyone called you unpatriotic.

um, this country was FOUNDED on DISSENT. we spoke out against the english government, and thats how america was founded. if anything, speaking out against your government if you think they are fucking up should be considered VERY patriotic.

so saying you arnt proud of your country dosnt mean you hate it and you should move somewhere else. it just means you want it to change for the better so you can be proud of it.</body>

      <body>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;levi! said:&lt;/cite&gt; ha im surprised you guys arent proud of this country

if you arent, why are you hear?

go live over seas with free health care and stand in line for hours to get a surgrery from a second rate doctor

cousin had a hole in her heart in england, waited for surgrery under free health care system for the longest time, then the surgrery failed. came to houston, had the surgrery right away with success&lt;/blockquote&gt;

you are either lying or you are misinformed. you have awful opinions based on nothing but hype/spin and i don't even believe you are as dumb as you sound. you are arguing here because you enjoy arguing. </body>

      <body>this election seems to be an odd one. From a UK perspective, i'd like Obama to get in, especially because if McCain got elected and something happened to him, Palin would be in charge.

And that is a scaaaary thought, even for someone like me who doesn't live there.

What's the general consnsus over there? Is there a clear favourite or is it close?</body>

      <body>I'm sure most of you have heard of or read this Goering quote before but I had never read it in the context of the actual conversation it was said in. I think it speaks to the fear those people in Ohio are suffering with. Oh and a note to Levi. You should look up some info about the Government trying to &lt;a href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2008/01/21/plan_for_designated_protest_space_on_dc_mall_debated/"&gt;restrict&lt;/a&gt; one of your major foundations of those Freedoms. They're at least debating it but you shouldn't harbor any illusions about Government, before you know it they'll pass laws giving themselves raises and listening to your phone calls......oh wait..


G&#246;ring: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.

G&#246;ring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

here's the &lt;a href="http://www.snopes.com/quotes/goering.asp"&gt;full&lt;/a&gt; transcript</body>

People are idiots.  Those people didn't sound like the voting type to me, though.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

They don't know shit about shit.

I'm sure they interviewed people who did know what was going on. It's a lot more entertaining to listen to dumb asses.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It's the majority its a scary world in the midwest, ask cole, he knows! these people are nuts.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

its true. there are a lot of people like this in the midwest. my dad being one. everytime i brought up politics he starts rambling on about that 'terrorist negra' running for president. 

levi. your opinions are the same as a 50 year old man. </body>

      <body>so you are pro-life, pro-same sex marriage? that's an odd combination considering the typical stereotypes that are associated with either one of those. It is not politically viable to be pro-same sex marriage as a presidential candidate. It would be career suicide.</body>

      <body>As an African American, this doesn't surprise me. The idea that "prejudice" has left our nations heart is silly to believe. The reason I use the word prejudice versus racism, is the pure fact that racism needs a catalyst like power to rear its ugly head. Prejudice + power = racism. But any way..this is not new to US(minorities) . I was speaking to my father the other day asking if he thought that he would see the day that a Black man could become president, my father gave me the most honest look an answer I have ever heard from him. He told me that he didn't think my kids would see the day! I mean lets not forget civil rights laws came in the last 60 years basically. Back in the 50's people would be able to spit on me, assault me and etc. The idea that this country is ready to allow an African American run this country used to be laughable. 
The scary part is, that first video isn't a shock to me. What people say behind closed doors or under their breath is not as COVERT as people want to think. Prime example and probably silly example would be Xbox Live. I am sure if your a gamer you have heard racial slurs being thrown around. If some little kid only 12 years old can use some racial epithets I never heard of, who knows what their parent is saying!

The fact of the matter is in a few days, we will all know if America is ready for that change. Worse case is, Obama will lose, McCain and Palin will be our new leaders for the next 4 years. However young minorities, and women will now add another "job title" to their wish lists as kids. I used to want to be an astronaut, a oceanographer, a zookeeper, a cop(trying to full-fill that now) but never felt confident to say "I want to be president of the United States". Not because the "man" held me down, not because white people won't allow it, because I never saw it. I never saw representation of my people in politics too often, except for corny ass Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson. Now it might be possible, who knows how many young men, or even young women Obama and Hilary inspired to get into politics.

Enough of my rant, but just wanted to get my .06 cents in. I think in the next few days, race will finally play a factor in a campaign that has been dancing around the pink elephant in the room for the last year. The real question might be, if Obama does get elected, what will they do to protect him? </body>

ok god machine from what you just compared those to you obviously have no reason to be for abortion and gay marriage how does abortion have anything to do with 100 years of war and how does gay marriage have to do with raping the land for oil thats a totally different topic and yea im against going to far into foreign oil also but that wasn't what i was talking about i was talking about moral issues

and no in 4 years i probably won't wanna vote for ombama because so many things to me seem socialist kinda views like spreading the wealth i don't like that at all but also i think mccain won't help much either but i just think at least he doesn't have as many imoral views </body>

      <body>3 WORDS
&lt;B&gt;PROTEST IS PATRIOTISM&lt;/B&gt;
and another 3 words for you
DON'T FUCKING VOTE
voting implies belief in the system. the system is a sham. Until we completely reshape our society away from the greed/profit/debt/materialist culture we're trapped in, I won't be proud for humanity, let alone the nation I live in.</body>

haha are you talking to me cause if you are you didn't even read my message right im pro-life and "against" same sex marriage.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

fine...but surely banning something because of what it CAN lead to is a bit over the top?

Flying a plane could be VERY dangerous...it could crash from 30,000 ft in the air and kill hundreds of people...but it might not.

Allowing same sex marriage doesn't change a great deal. Everyone should have the right to have some sort of official ceremony, regardless of their gender and sexual preference.</body>

yea but your not even reading my whole post i don't want obama because he's for things that are completely imoral and the things he wants would be more government control which is not good but yea i don't want more war but thats one thing and on top of that mccain said he would be pulling the troops out as well but the difference with him is he would do it with honor and not in shame like vietnam&lt;/blockquote&gt;

shame? without shame? too fucking late brother- too fucking late:

like iv said over again i hate war i hate it but mccain is taking them out to just like obama said he would do obviously a lot of bad has happened during the war duh but they're getting taken out and thats final
now what about the tax issues gay marriage abortion things like that</body>

yea it may look good like that on the outside but how will those businesses get that money back well raising their prices of course gas, groceries, etc will go up in price because they need to get that 20% back and businesses will shut down cause they can't pay for that and jobs will be loss and then the economy is even more screwed up and people are all dependent on the government</body>

      <body>i'm moving to Switzerland or Canada asap lol

The UK and america are completely immoral in their actions. For ages the governments have left the corrupt businessman screw about with little consequence, and that's why this financial mess has gotten this bad.

The new ridiculous news is that in the UK the defence minister wants all internet activity and phone calls to be monitered. If that happens i can promise you all right here right now that i'll move away from this place.

Hopefully common sense will prevail and that won't happen</body>

cool...up to you all. I'm all for debating, the world depends on it. Just thought that this might get a bit close to going to far.

But no worries, it's good to read what everyone thinks</body>

The UK and america are completely immoral in their actions. For ages the governments have left the corrupt businessman screw about with little consequence, and that's why this financial mess has gotten this bad.

The new ridiculous news is that in the UK the defence minister wants all internet activity and phone calls to be monitered. If that happens i can promise you all right here right now that i'll move away from this place.

Hopefully common sense will prevail and that won't happen&lt;/blockquote&gt;

abortions will happen regardless.

gay dudes will get married regardless.

mccain = end of the fucking world.

obama = a glimpse of hope.


get your heads straight , if we let white power piece of shits rule america we all will die.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

yea but so you would rather support something that is completely immoral and wrong and you have no reasons to why mccain is doom and obama is hope&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i dont understand why you keep throwing around the morality card. What is so moral about mccain/palin. I dont think there is anything moral about sending thousands of more troops to die, hunting wolves from helicopters, or denying people access to affordable healthcare.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

ok you should really stop throwing the war card because mccain is taking out the troops as well as obama so thats over with and obama wants government controlled health care look at canada and what happened to them because of that&lt;/blockquote&gt;

hi, im from canada and im pretty happy that i can go into a hospital or clinic and get checked out for free.
maybe get some education b4 u open your mouth.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

dude i do get education and i here of people dieing because they don't get the care you need and the crappy medicine government buys instead of getting good medicine i have two friends from canada that moved over here tell me your opinions when you have so horrible deadly problem and you can't get the health care you need</body>

If you're going to talk about serious matters, talk about it with some dignity, use proper English and stop casting stones at everyone that disagrees with you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i totally agree.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

when my dads best bud from russia has to say that he escaped russia to only come to the country that is the new russia


he said this when he heard obama say "spread the wealth"

that statement should of been the end of him&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I live in a socialist country. thank god. I would hate to live in a country that would happily watch a neighbour die because they couldnt pay for healthcare- and not only be happy to watch them die- but to be please you are in a place where this is acceptable.

hows things working out for ya now?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

why cant a person work for their money

i did it&lt;/blockquote&gt;

didnt your brother give you a shit ton of money to start a clothing line? how much work was that?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

its called, working on the line for 4 months before, selling dsigns that i made in photoshop (no designer here) and earning enough money to show him i know what im is doing

once again, my brother in law, started a company from scratch in cali and then moved it to houston and sold it. thats called work.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What I said above was not directed at you.  It was directed towards everyone.

Regarding the incest, animal sex, etc.. those things are already happening in the US.

thats cool. i didnt know we were doing business anyway. i guess you arent really informed on politics. you should know that politics (views) shouldnt get in the way of making money. 


and ya, none of us are running for the president, and none of us actually know anything. so lets just kill each other with our views. and im not mad. just simply stated that i dont agree with 99% of emptees. BUT THATS WHY IM PROUD OF AMERICA. we can do that and not get arrested (communism....future of america)

      <body>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;electricthreads said:&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Aniast said:&lt;/cite&gt; so you are pro-life, pro-same sex marriage? that's an odd combination considering the typical stereotypes that are associated with either one of those. It is not politically viable to be pro-same sex marriage as a presidential candidate. It would be career suicide.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

haha are you talking to me cause if you are you didn't even read my message right im pro-life and "against" same sex marriage.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I'm referring to the fact that you said you disagreed with Obama on his same sex marriage views when he is against same sex marriage. He did however vote against a constitutional ban on same sex marriage, but that was because it denied similar legal rights as a married couple to monogamous same-sex couples. You said you feel that you feel that it marriage should be between a man and a woman, that's fine because it is your opinion, but who are you to deny similar legal benefits to same sex partners if they are committed in the same way as marriage. 

As far as your belief that McCain is a good thing and your use of morality, I cannot vote for a V.P. that abused power in the office of governor. Also, someone who writes off public education as McCain does is a slap in the face to americans who cannot afford private education or to attend a charter school. McCain's education policies are a joke, his health insurance plan is terrible, the economy needs major changes either way and the republicans have not been doing a very good job managing the situation currently, and doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in them solving the problem.

But if someone is going to stand up for something, please do it with some tact - with some actual factual information - not just what you heard from mommy, daddy, uncle Bob, Fox news, CNN.. etc.

Jimmy always has a ton of factual information to back up everything he says.  I have yet to see him come in and say "THAT SHITS IMMORAL BITCHES AND THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA".  This goes for either side, McCain or Obama.  

If you're going to talk about serious matters, talk about it with some dignity, use proper English and stop casting stones at everyone that disagrees with you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i totally agree.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

but i do have facts i can tell you why gay marriage isn't the right way to go and why abortion is wrong besides the fact that its imoral and i try to talk about the spread the wealth issue but you keep going back to the war which will end either way and i get my facts from mentors that know a ton about politics and i research myself seriously just cause im 17 doesn't mean im stupid&lt;/blockquote&gt;

A) stop using the age card

and 

B) Give us those facts on same sex marriage please&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i haven't used the age card only once because you keep telling me i get facts from my mom and dad the thing is im getting this all from myself
also if you look at nations that accepted gay marriage they went on to worse things incest, multiple wives, sex with animals all that being legal and then the nation as itself just kinda goes down hill immorally and totally disgusting things are totally normal to people&lt;/blockquote&gt;

you think being gay leads to fucking animals? im sorry but your an idiot. and i dont think anyones gonna disagree with me on that one 

and out of curiosity...what nations legally have sex with animals and think its normal and fine?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

im not an idiot these are studies of how a country keeps going further and how it opens doors for people wanting other things like multiple partners and underage marriage its a book that talks about these issues and gives examples of countries and i don't have it off the top of my head but if you even gave the time of day to see why im against this i can tell you what book it is by tomorrow</body>

      <body>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;electricthreads said:&lt;/cite&gt; Idk the main reason im not voting for ombama is his views on abortion, same sex marriage, and his tax plan

and to tell you the truth i think both parties suck a lot but i guess if i had to choose i would choose mccain
but yea seeing from this video most people don't know what they're talking about its kinda annoying cause im 17 and i know way more than the adults i get in debates with about different issues&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is what is wrong with are youth. They believe everything they hear and what they are raised up to believe. Now before anyone says something about me blaming are youth or not knowing the youth or anything else someone can think of. I am 18 years old. We are probably in the same grade.

What is wrong with gay people? What have they ever done to you? I cant thing of anything wrong with gay people. They are just not like you. I bet you have watched porn with 2 females in it, am i right? That is the same thing but I bet you weren't turning your way.

abortion should be a womens choice. How can you as a man think you can make the choice for a women to keep there baby. Lets just say a 17 year old got raped. She shouldn't be able to make that choice. That is a choice that can affect her whole life. what if she cant go to college cause of that baby, she can't finish high school? Should are government make that choice?  

Correct me if i am wrong, isn't obama the one that wants to lower the tax for the middle and lower classes?</body>

      <body>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Aniast said:&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;electricthreads said:&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Aniast said:&lt;/cite&gt; so you are pro-life, pro-same sex marriage? that's an odd combination considering the typical stereotypes that are associated with either one of those. It is not politically viable to be pro-same sex marriage as a presidential candidate. It would be career suicide.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

haha are you talking to me cause if you are you didn't even read my message right im pro-life and "against" same sex marriage.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I'm referring to the fact that you said you disagreed with Obama on his same sex marriage views when he is against same sex marriage. He did however vote against a constitutional ban on same sex marriage, but that was because it denied similar legal rights as a married couple to monogamous same-sex couples. You said you feel that you feel that it marriage should be between a man and a woman, that's fine because it is your opinion, but who are you to deny similar legal benefits to same sex partners if they are committed in the same way as marriage. 

As far as your belief that McCain is a good thing and your use of morality, I cannot vote for a V.P. that abused power in the office of governor. Also, someone who writes off public education as McCain does is a slap in the face to americans who cannot afford private education or to attend a charter school. McCain's education policies are a joke, his health insurance plan is terrible, the economy needs major changes either way and the republicans have not been doing a very good job managing the situation currently, and doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in them solving the problem.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i actually agree with you with mccain he doesn't have very good plans either but neither does obama if you asked me i wish we could have someone that had the good of both i don't like obama's tax plan and health care plan its almost like socialism and you talk of palin abusing her powers but do you not remember biden's plagiarize scandal

i don't know the only thing i have to say about this is right now were going down hill and i think both don't have much to help out our country really to tell you the truth its just there are more reasons i want mccain than obama </body>

and to tell you the truth i think both parties suck a lot but i guess if i had to choose i would choose mccain
but yea seeing from this video most people don't know what they're talking about its kinda annoying cause im 17 and i know way more than the adults i get in debates with about different issues&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is what is wrong with are youth. They believe everything they hear and what they are raised up to believe. Now before anyone says something about me blaming are youth or not knowing the youth or anything else someone can think of. I am 18 years old. We are probably in the same grade.

What is wrong with gay people? What have they ever done to you? I cant thing of anything wrong with gay people. They are just not like you. I bet you have watched porn with 2 females in it, am i right? That is the same thing but I bet you weren't turning your way.

abortion should be a womens choice. How can you as a man think you can make the choice for a women to keep there baby. Lets just say a 17 year old got raped. She shouldn't be able to make that choice. That is a choice that can affect her whole life. what if she cant go to college cause of that baby, she can't finish high school? Should are government make that choice?  

Correct me if i am wrong, isn't obama the one that wants to lower the tax for the middle and lower classes?&lt;/blockquote&gt;


WOO HOO !!! another smart person.  i agree man, waaaay up there i was mentioning the same subjects.

But if someone is going to stand up for something, please do it with some tact - with some actual factual information - not just what you heard from mommy, daddy, uncle Bob, Fox news, CNN.. etc.

Jimmy always has a ton of factual information to back up everything he says.  I have yet to see him come in and say "THAT SHITS IMMORAL BITCHES AND THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA".  This goes for either side, McCain or Obama.  

If you're going to talk about serious matters, talk about it with some dignity, use proper English and stop casting stones at everyone that disagrees with you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i totally agree.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

but i do have facts i can tell you why gay marriage isn't the right way to go and why abortion is wrong besides the fact that its imoral and i try to talk about the spread the wealth issue but you keep going back to the war which will end either way and i get my facts from mentors that know a ton about politics and i research myself seriously just cause im 17 doesn't mean im stupid&lt;/blockquote&gt;

A) stop using the age card

and 

B) Give us those facts on same sex marriage please&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i haven't used the age card only once because you keep telling me i get facts from my mom and dad the thing is im getting this all from myself
also if you look at nations that accepted gay marriage they went on to worse things incest, multiple wives, sex with animals all that being legal and then the nation as itself just kinda goes down hill immorally and totally disgusting things are totally normal to people&lt;/blockquote&gt;

you think being gay leads to fucking animals? im sorry but your an idiot. and i dont think anyones gonna disagree with me on that one 

and out of curiosity...what nations legally have sex with animals and think its normal and fine?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

im not an idiot these are studies of how a country keeps going further and how it opens doors for people wanting other things like multiple partners and underage marriage its a book that talks about these issues and gives examples of countries and i don't have it off the top of my head but if you even gave the time of day to see why im against this i can tell you what book it is by tomorrow&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I would love to know the name of that book and who the author is.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

okay i will give it to you tomorrow how about that you can even email me about it asking for it&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Will do. There doesn't seem to be an email address on your profile. Should I just use the general contact email address on your Web site? </body>

okay i don't hate gay people i don't really my uncle was gay but before he died of aids he said of how it was a mistake and its just of matter of opening doors to other things like i said mutiple partners underage partners etc. and no i haven't watched porn like that has nothing to do with gay marriage anyways

and that is one example of abortion but i don't think we as the people should have to be forced to pay for something out of our taxes and i think its disgusting how obama wants to allow it to where if a baby survives an abortion that they should be left there to die also you talk of war but what about the millions of babies that are dieing cause of abortion even though they can be sent to adoption to be given to parents that would love them

yea obama is lowering taxes for the lower and middle class but higher taxes for the richer people means more expensive goods and services to make up for that 20% money loss and business will shut down not being able to hold to that strain which means jobs will be lost and then the lower and middle class will be affected by this</body>

WOO HOO !!! another smart person.  i agree man, waaaay up there i was mentioning the same subjects.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

im not going to touch abortion and gay marriage because that is a morality subject and im a Christian but believe in separation of church and state


but about lowering taxes....

how do see that its fair that you tax the rich more because the people who are considered middle class and poor cant make things work and end up needed money?

once again, communism

ok, yeah, we should help each other. but should we be forced to?

i far one, will stop abiding laws, and do what i have to avoid taxes because im sorry i feel that i shouldnt be forced to give up what i earned to someone who is to lazy, OR DISABLED. yes, you can be disabled. is that my fault? no.

its like saying, since you bought 2 cars, and youre only one person, we are gonna take one and give it to the homeless man because he doesnt have one

SINCE WHEN DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? i dont need facts or anything, you just need a common sense of accomplishment that you earned youre money, and you dont wanna give it away


but since youre a liberal, or communist, or whatever you wanna be

start giving away free designs. some people here cant afford them, but its ok right? maybe you designed it, but its ok. we want everyone to be equal right?

do it, do what you believe


and go ahead. make fun of me. call me greedy, i dont care. i just like keeping what i earned. sorry</body>

ok whatever make fun of me but maybe you should wait till i get the author and title and read it then you can talk to me after i just say my views and all you do is make fun i feel like im arguing with a bunch of 10 year olds and instead of going back and forth with facts you just make fun of me the only person that came back with good facts is one for one</body>

haha no i don't have a laptop haha only a family computer i can't afford one myself and the family computer has everything i need haha :P</body>

      <body>have you guys figured out you're angry about the same thing? like, it doesn't matter? any of it, cuz either way, you're all a bunch of douchebags who think that the way they think is the RIGHT way. 
No one is actually lowering taxes, or raising taxes. It's all part of the plan, and why is it so important anyways? at the end of the day you're still a slave to debt.
I'm quitting at trying to be a part of this society til it can grow the fuck up.</body>

and to tell you the truth i think both parties suck a lot but i guess if i had to choose i would choose mccain
but yea seeing from this video most people don't know what they're talking about its kinda annoying cause im 17 and i know way more than the adults i get in debates with about different issues&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is what is wrong with are youth. They believe everything they hear and what they are raised up to believe. Now before anyone says something about me blaming are youth or not knowing the youth or anything else someone can think of. I am 18 years old. We are probably in the same grade.

What is wrong with gay people? What have they ever done to you? I cant thing of anything wrong with gay people. They are just not like you. I bet you have watched porn with 2 females in it, am i right? That is the same thing but I bet you weren't turning your way.

abortion should be a womens choice. How can you as a man think you can make the choice for a women to keep there baby. Lets just say a 17 year old got raped. She shouldn't be able to make that choice. That is a choice that can affect her whole life. what if she cant go to college cause of that baby, she can't finish high school? Should are government make that choice?  

Correct me if i am wrong, isn't obama the one that wants to lower the tax for the middle and lower classes?&lt;/blockquote&gt;


WOO HOO !!! another smart person.  i agree man, waaaay up there i was mentioning the same subjects.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

im not going to touch abortion and gay marriage because that is a morality subject and im a Christian but believe in separation of church and state


but about lowering taxes....

how do see that its fair that you tax the rich more because the people who are considered middle class and poor cant make things work and end up needed money?

once again, communism

ok, yeah, we should help each other. but should we be forced to?

i far one, will stop abiding laws, and do what i have to avoid taxes because im sorry i feel that i shouldnt be forced to give up what i earned to someone who is to lazy, OR DISABLED. yes, you can be disabled. is that my fault? no.

its like saying, since you bought 2 cars, and youre only one person, we are gonna take one and give it to the homeless man because he doesnt have one

SINCE WHEN DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? i dont need facts or anything, you just need a common sense of accomplishment that you earned youre money, and you dont wanna give it away


but since youre a liberal, or communist, or whatever you wanna be

start giving away free designs. some people here cant afford them, but its ok right? maybe you designed it, but its ok. we want everyone to be equal right?

do it, do what you believe


and go ahead. make fun of me. call me greedy, i dont care. i just like keeping what i earned. sorry&lt;/blockquote&gt;

haha i agree with you obvisouly this was the wrong place to go into abortion and gay marriage and if you don't have a title of a book your stupid uhg but yea i agree with you on taxing issue its not a good thing you just have to look at other countries for examples&lt;/blockquote&gt;

good. im 21, and dont know anything, ill be the first to admit it, but its sad that a 17 year can agree with the destruction of communism and a bunch of older men, who have seen the destruction of communism, still agree with it</body>

imagine of that was all true? 

woah, scared myself. haha&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Matt:W said:&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Cole said:&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Matt:W said:&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Cole said:&lt;/cite&gt; i wrote a book once. anyone can write a book. and say whatever they want in it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

but i'd worship your book anyday cole ;)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

wanna come over for some punch? im having a reading about bestiality, incest, and multiple wives being a direct result of same sex marriage. its from an untitled book by an unknown author.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Wow...sounds like a good book. I reckon it'll talk some real sense. I can't wait :]

ha&lt;/blockquote&gt;

ok whatever make fun of me but maybe you should wait till i get the author and title and read it then you can talk to me after i just say my views and all you do is make fun i feel like im arguing with a bunch of 10 year olds and instead of going back and forth with facts you just make fun of me the only person that came back with good facts is one for one&lt;/blockquote&gt;

A book by a conservative christian politician will not count as a good fact. 

About taxes, lowering taxes for the middle class will put more money back into consumers pockets and will be able then reestablish some strength in the economy because they will have more money to spend. If anything is true about Americans, we are consumers. Giving tax breaks to large companies may alleviate some closures, but it will only delay the inevitable if the middle class, which is a large portion of the consuming americans, does not have money to put into the economy.</body>

      <body>A system with different tax brackets is not Communism. People have been throwing that word around in this thread and I'm surprised that no one has called anyone out on it yet. Currently, our tax system is such that the rich pay more of a percentage of their income than poorer people, it's a sliding scale. Would you say that we currently have a Communist system?

In a perfect world, everyone would be taxed the same percentage. Wait, I guess in a perfect world there would be no taxes :)

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No, it is not your fault. You pay taxes for roads you may never use. You pay taxes to employ police officers you may never need. You pay taxes to build schools you may never go to. You pay taxes to insure that if you are unlucky enough to be stricken with a disability, that you aren't throw aside like garbage. You are paying taxes for a functioning society.

i have no debt. i dont borrow. i have borrowed my brothers money because i dont have to pay it back. it was a gift because he saw potential. and i already made his money back and gave it back anyway

lets see a welfare person pay back the money they received? oh wait, they cant because they didnt do shit with it but buy beer. or just get by.....what a valid excuse. "we need it to get by because i have 5 kids and my husband left".....well fucking step up and make a life for your kids

you're a slave to the system, your desire for money and profit automatically enrolls you into the debt system. every penny you have has debt accrued on it. 
A government should take care of it's people. You've obviously never been poor. You're completely ignorant about how the world works.
Capitalism is the root of evil.</body>

abortion should be a womens choice. How can you as a man think you can make the choice for a women to keep there baby. Lets just say a 17 year old got raped. She shouldn't be able to make that choice. That is a choice that can affect her whole life. what if she cant go to college cause of that baby, she can't finish high school? Should are government make that choice?  

Correct me if i am wrong, isn't obama the one that wants to lower the tax for the middle and lower classes?&lt;/blockquote&gt;


WOO HOO !!! another smart person.  i agree man, waaaay up there i was mentioning the same subjects.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

im not going to touch abortion and gay marriage because that is a morality subject and im a Christian but believe in separation of church and state


but about lowering taxes....

how do see that its fair that you tax the rich more because the people who are considered middle class and poor cant make things work and end up needed money?

once again, communism

ok, yeah, we should help each other. but should we be forced to?

i far one, will stop abiding laws, and do what i have to avoid taxes because im sorry i feel that i shouldnt be forced to give up what i earned to someone who is to lazy, OR DISABLED. yes, you can be disabled. is that my fault? no.

its like saying, since you bought 2 cars, and youre only one person, we are gonna take one and give it to the homeless man because he doesnt have one

SINCE WHEN DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? i dont need facts or anything, you just need a common sense of accomplishment that you earned youre money, and you dont wanna give it away


but since youre a liberal, or communist, or whatever you wanna be

start giving away free designs. some people here cant afford them, but its ok right? maybe you designed it, but its ok. we want everyone to be equal right?

do it, do what you believe


and go ahead. make fun of me. call me greedy, i dont care. i just like keeping what i earned. sorry&lt;/blockquote&gt;

dude, that disabled part, shows that you are a complete and utter piece of shit, seriously, fuck your life.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


again. did i say i wouldnt help them? no. i said i wont be forced to. but tell me, is it my fault that they are disabled? should i be forced to help them. thats all im asking. 

but since im not a artist, come design for me for free. its the same concept. 

so fuck my life because i dont want to be forced to help someone he has misfortune?

seriously.

i will help them, and i have. i just wont be forced to do. i wont become a communist
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Kevin Doom said:&lt;/cite&gt; A system with different tax brackets is not Communism. People have been throwing that word around in this thread and I'm surprised that no one has called anyone out on it yet. Currently, our tax system is such that the rich pay more of a percentage of their income than poorer people, it's a sliding scale. Would you say that we currently have a Communist system?

In a perfect world, everyone would be taxed the same percentage. Wait, I guess in a perfect world there would be no taxes :)

No, it is not your fault. You pay taxes for roads you may never use. You pay taxes to employ police officers you may never need. You pay taxes to build schools you may never go to. You pay taxes to insure that if you are unlucky enough to be stricken with a disability, that you aren't throw aside like garbage. You are paying taxes for a functioning society.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i never said the system is communist now. i said that taxing the rich to give to the poor is communist. go back and read it</body>

No one is actually lowering taxes, or raising taxes. It's all part of the plan, and why is it so important anyways? at the end of the day you're still a slave to debt.
I'm quitting at trying to be a part of this society til it can grow the fuck up.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i have no debt. i dont borrow. i have borrowed my brothers money because i dont have to pay it back. it was a gift because he saw potential. and i already made his money back and gave it back anyway

lets see a welfare person pay back the money they received? oh wait, they cant because they didnt do shit with it but buy beer. or just get by.....what a valid excuse. "we need it to get by because i have 5 kids and my husband left".....well fucking step up and make a life for your kids


ha im glad my grandfather died for this country because it would break his heart to see that his country is a communist nation after he died trying to prevent that&lt;/blockquote&gt;

you're a slave to the system, your desire for money and profit automatically enrolls you into the debt system. every penny you have has debt accrued on it. 
A government should take care of it's people. You've obviously never been poor. You're completely ignorant about how the world works.
Capitalism is the root of evil.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

did you read my link by the way but yea iv never been poor but iv had family thats been poor and what you said shows where our country is going wanting the government to take care of our every need </body>

and to tell you the truth i think both parties suck a lot but i guess if i had to choose i would choose mccain
but yea seeing from this video most people don't know what they're talking about its kinda annoying cause im 17 and i know way more than the adults i get in debates with about different issues&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i can't believe people are still saying your selfish and using guilt when obviously you know what your talking about i can bet nobody here makes over $250,000 a year thats why they agree with obama's tax plan even though it'll probably kill a ton of businesses right on the line of that number</body>

Is that the right math? Do you have a citation for that statistic because I would really be interested in the math.

I know 1% controls 40% of the world's Assets according to the U.N. at least.

and to tell you the truth i think both parties suck a lot but i guess if i had to choose i would choose mccain
but yea seeing from this video most people don't know what they're talking about its kinda annoying cause im 17 and i know way more than the adults i get in debates with about different issues&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is what is wrong with are youth. They believe everything they hear and what they are raised up to believe. Now before anyone says something about me blaming are youth or not knowing the youth or anything else someone can think of. I am 18 years old. We are probably in the same grade.

What is wrong with gay people? What have they ever done to you? I cant thing of anything wrong with gay people. They are just not like you. I bet you have watched porn with 2 females in it, am i right? That is the same thing but I bet you weren't turning your way.

abortion should be a womens choice. How can you as a man think you can make the choice for a women to keep there baby. Lets just say a 17 year old got raped. She shouldn't be able to make that choice. That is a choice that can affect her whole life. what if she cant go to college cause of that baby, she can't finish high school? Should are government make that choice?  

Correct me if i am wrong, isn't obama the one that wants to lower the tax for the middle and lower classes?&lt;/blockquote&gt;


WOO HOO !!! another smart person.  i agree man, waaaay up there i was mentioning the same subjects.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

im not going to touch abortion and gay marriage because that is a morality subject and im a Christian but believe in separation of church and state


but about lowering taxes....

how do see that its fair that you tax the rich more because the people who are considered middle class and poor cant make things work and end up needed money?

once again, communism

ok, yeah, we should help each other. but should we be forced to?

i far one, will stop abiding laws, and do what i have to avoid taxes because im sorry i feel that i shouldnt be forced to give up what i earned to someone who is to lazy, OR DISABLED. yes, you can be disabled. is that my fault? no.

its like saying, since you bought 2 cars, and youre only one person, we are gonna take one and give it to the homeless man because he doesnt have one

SINCE WHEN DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? i dont need facts or anything, you just need a common sense of accomplishment that you earned youre money, and you dont wanna give it away


but since youre a liberal, or communist, or whatever you wanna be

start giving away free designs. some people here cant afford them, but its ok right? maybe you designed it, but its ok. we want everyone to be equal right?

do it, do what you believe


and go ahead. make fun of me. call me greedy, i dont care. i just like keeping what i earned. sorry&lt;/blockquote&gt;

dude, that disabled part, shows that you are a complete and utter piece of shit, seriously, fuck your life.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


again. did i say i wouldnt help them? no. i said i wont be forced to. but tell me, is it my fault that they are disabled? should i be forced to help them. thats all im asking. 

but since im not a artist, come design for me for free. its the same concept. 

so fuck my life because i dont want to be forced to help someone he has misfortune?

seriously.

i will help them, and i have. i just wont be forced to do. i wont become a communist
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Kevin Doom said:&lt;/cite&gt; A system with different tax brackets is not Communism. People have been throwing that word around in this thread and I'm surprised that no one has called anyone out on it yet. Currently, our tax system is such that the rich pay more of a percentage of their income than poorer people, it's a sliding scale. Would you say that we currently have a Communist system?

In a perfect world, everyone would be taxed the same percentage. Wait, I guess in a perfect world there would be no taxes :)

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;levi! said:&lt;/cite&gt; 

i far one, will stop abiding laws, and do what i have to avoid taxes because im sorry i feel that i shouldnt be forced to give up what i earned to someone who is to lazy, OR DISABLED. yes, you can be disabled. is that my fault? no.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No, it is not your fault. You pay taxes for roads you may never use. You pay taxes to employ police officers you may never need. You pay taxes to build schools you may never go to. You pay taxes to insure that if you are unlucky enough to be stricken with a disability, that you aren't throw aside like garbage. You are paying taxes for a functioning society.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i never said the system is communist now. i said that taxing the rich to give to the poor is communist. go back and read it&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You the most selfish christian I've ever heard of. Also, it may not be your fault they are disabled, but then again, it may not be theirs either.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

once again. READ WHAT IM SAYING!

i do help them. and will help them. i donate.

but i wont be forced to

stop just saying things


SO EVERYBODY GIVE YOUR DESIGNS AWAY, SOME CANT AFFORD IT.

so everybody is gonna do it right? because its right?

ha i would love to see somebody do that here


BTW, ILL BE BACK LATER. 

IM GOING SEE THE LADY AT HERE HOUSE

im going help her study

ha imagine that. im helping somebody. </body>

Is that the right math? Do you have a citation for that statistic because I would really be interested in the math.

I know 1% controls 40% of the world's Assets according to the U.N. at least.

&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2006/dec/06/business.internationalnews"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i dunno, it's close, it's either 3.8 or something controls 97% either way, it's a ridiculous calculation, it's utter nonsense. fuck money, fuck politics, seriously, i need a fucking latte enema.</body>

that i agree with. remember i said i dont believe in government?

and ive never been poor?

ha.

im glad you grew up with my in Louisiana. and im glad you know that my dad worked at sweeping the floors of the plants at dow chemical. and now he is the vice president of logistics

so yeah, im pretty sure anyone could work for their income

ha dont fucking tell me that somebody deserves my money because they couldnt afford to go to college. my dad couldnt afford it and he didnt. but im sitting nice. and im not ashamed. he worked for it&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i can't believe people are still saying your selfish and using guilt when obviously you know what your talking about i can bet nobody here makes over $250,000 a year thats why they agree with obama's tax plan even though it'll probably kill a ton of businesses right on the line of that number&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There's an exception rule for small businesses in Obama's tax plan that he has outlined. 

Levi, go pave your road. Pay for your children's education, go back and have your dad pay for your public education. You don't sound like someone who is democratic, while you call people communists, you sound more like an anarchist. You may think you are a capitalist, but you want to abandon a system that made you what you are. Even indirectly, you have received benefits your entire life from taxes. Taxes that your parents paid, taxes that you'll pay and appreciate if you ever have kids. There are so many things that are morally wrong with your arguments, I don't even know where to begin. 

Seriously, take a minute and think of things you use every day/week that are paid for, at least partially, by taxes. </body>

abortions will happen regardless.

gay dudes will get married regardless.

mccain = end of the fucking world.

obama = a glimpse of hope.


get your heads straight , if we let white power piece of shits rule america we all will die.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

yea but so you would rather support something that is completely immoral and wrong and you have no reasons to why mccain is doom and obama is hope&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i know this was waaaay back there but i feel the need to address it because no one else did. you keep calling things "immoral" but you need to understand that these are YOUR morals, not mine, and not those of millions of people in this country.

on the issue of abortion for example: no one is is trying to make legislation that forces you to abort children or even recommends it. you, i take it, are some form of christian so you believe abortion is immoral, thats fine. what i don't understand is why you give a shit about what I do. you aren't going to be judged for my "sins". 

i do not believe in any religious dogma, but i would NEVER support any laws that inhibited your freedom. thats why you are being selfish. you want other people to live based on your "morals" wether they agree with you or not. dick.</body>

haha that was way back there but ok the thing that bothers me the most is that young teens can get abortion without parental consent in which means they are using our tax money which means that they are forcing it on us to be fair if anything the parents or the mother should pay to kill a baby i could get into why abortion is wrong blablabla but im kinda tired of debating haha i wanna just go back to drawing :P </body>

I studied Biblical Studies at a very conservative Christian college for three years and I realized that most Christians in America know nothing about real Christianity.

Jesus was a socialist progressive hippie who denounced the Jewish patriarchal system of the time.  He believed in social justice at all costs.  He said to give up everything you owned to please God.

The first Christians were ancient Communists who literally sold everything they owned and gave the money to the poor.  They formed communes and lived cooperatively waiting for Jesus' second coming.

Real Christianity died out in the 300's AD when Rome made Christianity the national religion and that started the ball rolling of the whole Roman Catholic Church failure.</body>

good ol' jesus and his McDonalds adverts and his Coke sponsorship.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;img src="http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q142/brianh81/republican_jesus2.jpg" /&gt;

I studied Biblical Studies at a very conservative Christian college for three years and I realized that most Christians in America know nothing about real Christianity.

Jesus was a socialist progressive hippie who denounced the Jewish patriarchal system of the time.  He believed in social justice at all costs.  He said to give up everything you owned to please God.

The first Christians were ancient Communists who literally sold everything they owned and gave the money to the poor.  They formed communes and lived cooperatively waiting for Jesus' second coming.

Real Christianity died out in the 300's AD when Rome made Christianity the national religion and that started the ball rolling of the whole Roman Catholic Church failure.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

whoa, i just read something really insightful in this thread&lt;/blockquote&gt;

yea i know about that iv been in christian school my whole life and have studied it also and yea jesus did say to help others but theres a difference when christians give their money to help others and when the government takes your money and controls what they will do with it christians chose to give their possessions away and it worked well but when your forced to give away your money just because you may be a little richer thats not right</body>

      <body>This is probably one of the worst political debates I've ever read. Some of you people are spewing garbage from your butt hole contradicting everything you say at a rate that would rival a fully pressurized fire hose. </body>

Let's say the dumbest most ignorant thing that pops into our head!

Sounds great.

While I'm sure such trivial things are monumental in the minds of those who's brains are very small -- that just isn't true.

&lt;img src="http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q101/featheriver/Politics/Saluting.jpg"&gt;

&lt;img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii19/SLdkos/2406018917_f702b044f8.jpg"&gt;

It was an isolated event that was blown out of proportion. Continuously banging the drum over things that are proven untrue make you appear weak minded. 

Say something intelligent, or don't say anything. You're only hurting the case for people like CajunMetal, who are informed and make valid arguments.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

my bad. Thats what I was told. I was "ignant"

      <body>The way I see it both sides are dong the same thing right now and that is finding every excuse they can to increase the power and scope of the national government, they are just using different avenues to do it.  

For example, the republican part seeks to increase the government's power through the percieved threat of terrorism.  The problem here is that to "combat" this threat reduce civil liberties and spend a shit ton of money to have greater influence over people in the US and abroad.  Wouldn't it make more sense to invest that money to become semi-indepentdent(in the industries that are essential to how this country works) so that the fluxuations(economic, political, etc.) of other  countries won't effect this country as much, while still allowing American citizens to enjoy positive aspects of globalization.

To me it seems like the people who are "threats" to this country really just want to be left alone.  So basically, Republicans created, and are exacerbating, the problem that they are trying to "solve." 

On the other hand, Democrats(and many republicans) are trying to use the economic crisis to increase the government's power over the economy.  Government handouts and bailouts are a huge part of the reason this crisis exists.  Big businesses have been behaving irresponsibly(and in some cases illegally) because they knew the could get away with it because the government would bail them out.  This is not how capitalism is supposed to work.  Capitalism is supposed to reward good decisions and punish the bad.  

The overreaching hand in the private sector is what led to this crisis, and more of it is not going to solve anything.

I see socialistic economic policies as a downward spiral into government run businesses and lets face it, our government has proven that it doesnt run businesses very well.

The US government frustrates me.

On another note, why does not wanting the government to redistribute wealth make Levi a bad christian.  I havent been concerned with religion for a while, but didn't Jesus say something about letting ceasar have his laws and letting Jesus have his? Small groups of early Christians CHOOSING to live in communes is very, very different than forcing 300 million people to give more of their money to a huge central government.  
 
It seems a whole lot more christian to have private citizens choose to spend their time and money to help out those less fortunate.  On the other hand, depending on the government to do such things feels somewhat lazy and hollow to me.    </body>

So you don't pay federal income taxes, or pay into medicaid/medicare, or social security?  Guess what the Federal Government has been getting huge since the FDR's new deal.  That is reality. I don't know if it is a good or bad thing.

No one here throwing the words "communism" and "socialism" around has the slightest clue about what those words mean.  Understand the history of the ideologies first and the contexts in which they were formed. Do some research.

I do agree that just paying your taxes and hoping the government will take care of the underprivileged is being lazy.  All citizens should be proactive at the local level where the most change is made.

But there is nothing wrong with paying taxes to help other people in your society.  Societies need social services and social workers. Your federal income taxes are made into federal grants to help organizations like the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless that I am volunteering for.  They are helping people get out of homelessness and giving them a second chance at life.  PCCH can't operate without money to buy the services they need for their population group. In your guys anarcho-libertarian utopian fantasy lands where there are no taxes and no public roads the class divide will grow even more.

You can thank social progressives for giving you the 40 hour work week, abolishing child labor, making workplaces safer, allowing workers to unionize, and many other things that Americans before you would die for.  My grandfather fought Carrier Air Conditioning for  20 years for workers rights as the head of a union. His and other peoples work have made this place better for you.  So sorry that you are forced to help people, since apparently Christians are only supposed to help people when they feel like doing so.  I agree the US government blows but don't let that mislead you into thinking that you and others don't need them.

Really though we are all on the same side no matter who here disagrees with each other.  It us is vs. the bankers.  They love that we fight with each other over this stuff. Divide and conquer is a great strategy. The right/left divide is a joke. We are the same.  The social class divide is the elite oligarchs vs. the rest of the population.

So on that note, peace and love brothers.

      <body>I feel like people get angry and jump to conclusions alot around here.  Oh well, if it really bothered me I wouldnt participate in these kinds of conversations.  

I pay my taxes, and I think there are alot of things that the government does that are very healthy and necessary.  And while in this political environment, I would probably be considered a libertarian, I have some extremely progressive views, especially in terms of education.  Although, my progressive ideas tend to revolve around merit based distribution of funds(I.E. the better you do in school the more the government pays). I understand that a central government is important and necessary.   

I think that the things you are doing are awesome and wish a bigger percentage of my tax dollars went to helping people in need and teaching them to become self sufficient, to take care of themselves(unless they are unable).  

I also think that these programs should operate in the private sector, as much as possible.  I wish that state and local governments played a larger role in this country.  I think that governments closer to the constituents, made up of ordinary people(as opposed to the professional political elite) would be able to make more responsible decisions for the average citizen.  They would also have to explain their bad decisions to their neighbors and the parents on their kids soccer teams, etc.  This would introduce a level of accountability that has disappeared from the federal government, mostly due the ridiculously high incumbency rates coupled with the insane cost of running an effective political campaign. 
If, on April 15th, I could give the amount of money I give to the federal government to state and local governments, and vice-versa, I would be much happier about paying taxes.  

In my eyes, the federal government should be about half of the size that it is now.  Unions, Social progressives, and the federal government have done some incredibly positive and necessary things over the years.  Unfortunately, I think these groups are spiraling out of control(if you look at some of the policies of the auto unions it should be no surprise that the big 3 don't want to make cars here anymore).  

While I don't really consider myself to be christian anymore, at least not in the pop-culture sense, Christians are supposed to be called to help the helpless.  They aren't just supposed to help people when they feel like it, they are supposed to help people all of the time, even if will somehow negatively effect the individual who is helping others.  That's the whole idea of sacrifice, hence the idea of giving someone the shirt off my back.  

I like helping people and probably need to start doing more of it again.  I just feel like forcing people to pay for taxes for certain programs(social, economic, military, etc.) is alot like high school forcing kids to do community service.  Yeah, they are doing a good thing, but they are missing the point.  Helping people shouldn't be about graduating or getting into college it should be about helping people. period.

I have a decent understanding of democracy and communism, capitalism and socialism, but you are right, I could do better.  We all could.  Unless someone is considered the authority on every possibly subject, they should probably learn more.    

I commend you and your grandfather for your efforts to make the world a better place.  Dont feel sorry for me because I am forced to help people.  I want to help people and I like to help people.  I just question how large a role the federal government should play in helping people and the redistribution funds.  Those sentiments are very different.

You're partially right, its us vs. bankers, politicians, and corporate executives, etc.  

Good luck at the PCCH. I hope those that you help go on to help others in need when they can.  

I really hope that this community can take steps toward healthy political debate, sans name calling.  We need to be able to have a place to discuss important issues.  Just because people have differing opinions about politics, religion, or any other complex issue doesnt mean they cant be friends, or at the very least peacefully coexist.    </body>

      <body>I agree with a lot of what you said torches, that post made much more sense in context now.  I don't want to lump you in with other commenters thoughts.  (There are so many comments I get them all jumbled together)

I am a conservative pragmatist at war with bleeding heart liberal in my mind.  I believe in evidence based methodology when it comes to helping people and running a government.  I believe in a balanced budget that is used to achieve the best possible results for everyone in a given society.

The problem is this fake monetary system kind of screws everything up for everyone.  There is no value anymore, just credit.  I think the class divide will widen until it bursts open in violent conflict (much like the 30's).

I am not mad at anyone here because no one here is my enemy.  Those who make non-existent money to support a facade economy are my enemy.  I fear a second great depression caused by hyper-inflation is a possibility within 2 years, it will effect the whole world too.  If that happens we will be looking back talking about how great it was when we were arguing about how to spend taxes instead of arguing about how martial law sucks and the bread lines are too long.

In the new world we live in money=debt. In America 90% of the money in the system is digital and doesn't have an actual value. Commodity based economies are almost all gone that I know of.  The cycle will have to come to an end eventually and the average person won't be prepared.  

"Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist" -&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_E._Boulding"&gt;Kenneth Boulding&lt;/a&gt;, Economist


So social progress unfortunately is going to have to take a back seat to the worldwide economy for awhile.  I wish I could do everything at once but you have to tackle the big problems first.

The Federal Reserve- destroying the value of the dollar since 1913 for the profit of a few central bankers.

I am glad that the economy is the #1 issue in the election because it shows Americans are starting to care a little about the monetary system.

/disjointed Armchair economist rant (It is 1:20 am and I am running on little sleep for the past couple days, and on that note goodnight everyone)

Thanks Jimmy. I appreciate that. 

My girlfriend and I just watched an episode of Bullshit, that penn and teller show, that calls bullshit on Anger Management Therapy. There is actual SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that punching something or 'venting' actually helps to retain and reinforce your anger rather than resolve it like counting to ten or something to calm down would.
This is significant  to this thread because to me it shows that people without the motivation to seek rational thought, will abandon it to the influence of their emotion. That's what the people in both the Ohio and Stern videos are doing. 
And people accept the venting method, punching something, because its tangible, we &lt;i&gt;feel&lt;/i&gt; like we're doing something about it, it feels right even though there's SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to the contrary.
It goes hand in hand with the study someone did with Republicans and Democrats (I'd be happy to provide a source but I'm tired and you can look it up) that shows even though they're shown video of their candidates contradicting themselves or even lying, that we inevitably have made up our minds emotionally and will not be swayed. I've never once read in a thread or heard in real life someone concede to another on a point given direct evidence to the contrary of their own. </body>

No one is actually lowering taxes, or raising taxes. It's all part of the plan, and why is it so important anyways? at the end of the day you're still a slave to debt.
I'm quitting at trying to be a part of this society til it can grow the fuck up.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i have no debt. i dont borrow. i have borrowed my brothers money because i dont have to pay it back. it was a gift because he saw potential. and i already made his money back and gave it back anyway

lets see a welfare person pay back the money they received? oh wait, they cant because they didnt do shit with it but buy beer. or just get by.....what a valid excuse. "we need it to get by because i have 5 kids and my husband left".....well fucking step up and make a life for your kids


ha im glad my grandfather died for this country because it would break his heart to see that his country is a communist nation after he died trying to prevent that&lt;/blockquote&gt;

you're a slave to the system, your desire for money and profit automatically enrolls you into the debt system. every penny you have has debt accrued on it. 
A government should take care of it's people. You've obviously never been poor. You're completely ignorant about how the world works.
Capitalism is the root of evil.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Capitalism is the American dream.  If we don't have capitalism, we have socialism, and socialism is one step from communism.  There is a reason why America is and has been the greatest Nation on earth: Capitalism.  It is the reason we have a problem with illegal immigration (because other people want to be here so badly), why people in other countries talk about how you can achieve any dream your mind can create in the United States.  The day American's start wanting socialism over capitalism will be the beginning of the end and one of the saddest days of my life.</body>

you totally didn't read that right i meant don't hate me because of what i believe and what im trying to say of course its important why do you think i study politics and what is happening its obvious you just care about downing me i was just saying don't hate me as a person because i don't want obama&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Alright, I've only read up to here so far, but good god, electricthreads, please punctuate your sentences, it's incredibly difficult to follow your arguing. It's like a stream of rambling.</body>

that i agree with. remember i said i dont believe in government?

and ive never been poor?

ha.

im glad you grew up with my in Louisiana. and im glad you know that my dad worked at sweeping the floors of the plants at dow chemical. and now he is the vice president of logistics

so yeah, im pretty sure anyone could work for their income

ha dont fucking tell me that somebody deserves my money because they couldnt afford to go to college. my dad couldnt afford it and he didnt. but im sitting nice. and im not ashamed. he worked for it&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i can't believe people are still saying your selfish and using guilt when obviously you know what your talking about i can bet nobody here makes over $250,000 a year thats why they agree with obama's tax plan even though it'll probably kill a ton of businesses right on the line of that number&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There's an exception rule for small businesses in Obama's tax plan that he has outlined. 

Levi, go pave your road. Pay for your children's education, go back and have your dad pay for your public education. You don't sound like someone who is democratic, while you call people communists, you sound more like an anarchist. You may think you are a capitalist, but you want to abandon a system that made you what you are. Even indirectly, you have received benefits your entire life from taxes. Taxes that your parents paid, taxes that you'll pay and appreciate if you ever have kids. There are so many things that are morally wrong with your arguments, I don't even know where to begin. 

Seriously, take a minute and think of things you use every day/week that are paid for, at least partially, by taxes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i have no problem with paying taxes. i have a problem with being forced to. 

huge difference.

i know the benefit of taxes. but i also know the benefit of a free will

and for the stereotype that all Christians are conservative war loving biggots. 

good job on being a complete idiot

me = Christian
me = believe in no governemnt
me = totally against Bush (he nationalized banks...socialist)
me = against McCain and Obama


so maybe actually get a clue before you post a stereotype about my religion. ive always wondered by Christians are always the first ones to be blasted

What makes him a piece of garbage?  Because he's Christian?  Because he has values and an opinion?  I don't get what is so effective about attacking a person's character because they have an opinion.  It doesn't matter what you believe or if your Dem, Rep, or anything in between or nothing at all, common courtesy and respect for other people should be a given.</body>

Not agreeing with socialism does not display a lack or social empathy.  Quite the opposite, he wants you to enjoy the same rights of deciding for yourself, not having your government force you to do things.</body>

    <comment>
      <body>I'm so confused by your first sentence. Are you saying some taxes are ok, others are not or are you just not happy about paying taxes?

I say anarchist, not in the connotation that you are probably associating it with, but as someone who is anti-government. 

My comment about you being a selfish christian is because when people claim christianity there are certain connotations that go along with that. Those connotations go along with most other religious, but that is an entirely different discussion. 

Your generalization of taxes and how you don't want to pay them because you earned it, in my opinion makes you selfish because in order for American society to function you have to pay taxes. 

It's amazing to me how defensive people get when religion comes into play. I didn't go back and check anything, feel free to quote me from up there, it's just too much to wade through and I'm kind of lazy right now. I know I called you a selfish christian, and don't see how your views on taxes as you stated above line up with general christian beliefs.

Christians are the first to be blasted because there are a group of christians that like to say stupid shit in the national media.

Glad you got the lady "studied up." Play on playa.</body>

I see this is turning into a shitstorm of a thread anyways, but reading some more, wow, Levi!, you're a piece of garbage and I'm glad I haven't designed anything for you, I would be feeling very guilty right now.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What makes him a piece of garbage?  Because he's Christian?  Because he has values and an opinion?  I don't get what is so effective about attacking a person's character because they have an opinion.  It doesn't matter what you believe or if your Dem, Rep, or anything in between or nothing at all, common courtesy and respect for other people should be a given.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Just to clarify:
Levi!:"i feel that i shouldnt be forced to give up what i earned to someone who is to lazy, OR DISABLED. yes, you can be disabled. is that my fault? no."

Not a shred to do with religion. I also feel strongly about this statement for personal reasons.</body>

      <body>They are predicting he will win. Not that it matters, they are both douches. The thing that makes me wonder though is if Obama is not a citizen and is elected then what happens? He refused to present papers to a judge and his grandma screams he was born in Kenya so you gotta wonder.(obamacrimes.com) Is Obama just there to get votes so Biden can step up when they go "oh shit, obama is not eligible to be sworn in?" or do they even know what to do in that scenario? 

Im really hoping there is a tie though because then it will be Obama president, Palin VP. that would be the most hilarious thing ever and piss off the entire nation. lol so im rooting for that. whoever wins we are doomed, they are both more war. We need a president for PEACE not war.</body>

      <body>It would be sweet for the businesspeople who are all against the healthcare deal to turn 55 suddenly and check out how quick their independent healthcare provider charges them 5-10,000 dollar a month for comparable benefits.

Even as a 26 year old non-smoker in good health, I'm looking at 4-600 a month for comprehensive coverage. Right now my only option is catastrophic coverage which is useless unless I end up in a coma for a couple of months or something.</body>

im glad you are for peace but holy shit you are gullible. does one lame duck website really make you believe that bullshit? the video on that site is from the toledo local affiliate of fox news. wow!

are you so dim that you think john mccain's political campaign doesn't have the same info you have? as if this garbage held one ounce of water the mccain campaign and ALL major news organizations wouldn't be all over it?

no no, im sure YOU have the &lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; dirt on Obama. he isn't a citizen RIIIIIIGHT.

      <body>I would like to see some peace. This Probably had nothing to do at hand but &lt;b&gt;Fun Fact:&lt;/b&gt; America has not had more than 35 years of peace at a time in our short 232 year history.

The American Revolution (1775-1782)  30 years of peace

The War of 1812 (1812-1815) 31 Years of peace

The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) 13 Years of peace

The American Civil War (1861-1865) 33 Years of peace

The Spanish-American War (1898-1898) 19 Years of peace

World War I (1917-1918)  23 Years of peace

World War II (1941-1945)  5 Years of peace

The Korean War (1950-1953) 6 Years of peace

The Vietnam War(1959-1975) 15 Years of peace

Gulf War(Desert Storm) (1990-1991) 10 Years of peace

Operation Enduring Freedome (2001-2003)

Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-Present)

Yea I spent way too long getting all that info. It was in a table but emptees messed with the table.</body>

      <body>You guys are lucky you get to vote fairly... the last time an opposition party won in my country [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_13_Incident"&gt;late 60's&lt;/a&gt;], there was a huge racial riot started by the loosing party. Since then, the said party has been running this country down into the ground. Every time they are about to get fried or lose, they pull out their racial card. I'd like to elaborate more, but I might end up going missing and all that. </body>

Subdivided &amp; Constricted...

It's hard to believe that the process of so called "voting" can be watered down to two "popular" parties before the actual election begins is crazy. 

What kind of a choice are they actually advertising?

and another 3 words for you
DON'T FUCKING VOTE
voting implies belief in the system. the system is a sham. Until we completely reshape our society away from the greed/profit/debt/materialist culture we're trapped in, I won't be proud for humanity, let alone the nation I live in.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Sad, but true.

We are already are socialists in a sense. This country isn't completely capitalist, or else we wouldnt have programs such as "social" security and welfare. These are socialist ideas. 

Finding a good balance between the two would benefit all of us the most, instead leaning towards one or the other.</body>

But if someone is going to stand up for something, please do it with some tact - with some actual factual information - not just what you heard from mommy, daddy, uncle Bob, Fox news, CNN.. etc.

Jimmy always has a ton of factual information to back up everything he says.  I have yet to see him come in and say "THAT SHITS IMMORAL BITCHES AND THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA".  This goes for either side, McCain or Obama.  

If you're going to talk about serious matters, talk about it with some dignity, use proper English and stop casting stones at everyone that disagrees with you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i totally agree.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

but i do have facts i can tell you why gay marriage isn't the right way to go and why abortion is wrong besides the fact that its imoral and i try to talk about the spread the wealth issue but you keep going back to the war which will end either way and i get my facts from mentors that know a ton about politics and i research myself seriously just cause im 17 doesn't mean im stupid&lt;/blockquote&gt;

A) stop using the age card

and 

B) Give us those facts on same sex marriage please&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i haven't used the age card only once because you keep telling me i get facts from my mom and dad the thing is im getting this all from myself
also if you look at nations that accepted gay marriage they went on to worse things incest, multiple wives, sex with animals all that being legal and then the nation as itself just kinda goes down hill immorally and totally disgusting things are totally normal to people&lt;/blockquote&gt;

you think being gay leads to fucking animals? im sorry but your an idiot. and i dont think anyones gonna disagree with me on that one 

and out of curiosity...what nations legally have sex with animals and think its normal and fine?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

im not an idiot these are studies of how a country keeps going further and how it opens doors for people wanting other things like multiple partners and underage marriage its a book that talks about these issues and gives examples of countries and i don't have it off the top of my head but if you even gave the time of day to see why im against this i can tell you what book it is by tomorrow&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Was it written by Eminem per chance? 

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Lyrics form The real slim shady&lt;/cite&gt; "Well, some of us cannibals
who cut other people open like cantaloupes [SLURP]
But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes
then there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope"&lt;/blockquote&gt;</body>

      <body>sorry, im back. and i just read everything jimmy had to offer. but im waiting on the girl to get here so im not gonna read all the links...yet. that time will come tomorrow


and im sorry i have extremist views. that happen to be different from GOD "jimmy"

i guess having an open mind is something of a bad thing. 

and dont say im not open minded. I posted that im a Christian, anarchist who doesnt believe the church has a place in government.

and when did i say micheal savage was someone i looked up to? i just said he will change the way you think. i didnt say good or bad. sorry

i apologize alot because people with different views are often blasted here, similar to the Jews.

and my dad is ignorant? is that what youre saying? tell me if it is. and then we can discuss that over a private session. or over phone. i dont care. 

annnnd, is a hand out receiving help because you earned it, or receiving help because you arent as wealthy

and by the way. the whole 4 months thing....4 months with Word! Apparel

2 years with Fire of Life Clothing and Crashtide Clothing

he was right beside, watching me. he invested in me. 

sorry for that

and ima get to all the call out by jimmy. just not now. i got better things coming over</body>

      <body>you guys in other states have it pretty easy out here in cali we have a bunch of shit going on  in political voting. 

I got in a little fight with a few people at my work cause they are going to vote YES on prop 8 ( in cali to ban gay marriage in cali ) I personally am voting No because i believe every person should have the right to legally marry if they are 18 and want to marry a dude or a chick. whatever floats your boat. I feel like its the average person vs. christian- catholic right winged nutjobs and this video totally made me think of them. </body>

      <body>As a bi-racial guy, i believe i have the unique privilege of being incapable of being one sided when it comes to issues of race and ethnic tolerance. And for the record, I wont be voting for either man. It makes me happy to see a black man potentially able to win in the presidential elections, the so called "highest honor a man can achieve", but in the end I know it will make little difference. All Obama becoming president will prove is that a black man is just as incapable of running a country as a white man. I have yet to see a president in my lifetime make the world a better place on such a grand level where it actually brings lasting benefits. I HAVE, seen, presidents who cheat on theyre wives, presidents who start wars because it benefits them finacially, presidents  who kill, and presidents help theyre peers who are financially wealthy rather than people who truly need the help. So, while I respect everyone who does vote, no man can bring about peace. November 16, 1982 was marked by the UN as the "International Year of Peace." Well, that year actually had more small scale wars in it than any before it or since. So to acknowledge the people who will be quick to call me, "unpatriotic", or "lacking of pride for the US", I leave you with deep fight club quote. " Your too busy polishing the brass on the titanic, its all going down."</body>

      <body>This thread is pretty awesome. Although I must say, for people that are so highly charged about the presidential race it's interesting to see that some of you won't be voting.

Our freedoms in this country are many ... One of these freedoms is the right and privilege to vote. I believe it's at least somewhat beneficial to vote for the candidate that best represents your views even if you may feel he may simply be a pasty.

The ignorant thing to do now &#8211; after eight years of what I consider the worst eight years of this country's history &#8211; would be NOT to vote. Not that my plea will make any difference to any of you but I personally am grateful for at least the idea that my vote counts for something.</body>

Being open minded doesn't mean that you only believe in your own ignorant beliefs it means that you are accepting of other peoples ideas and beliefs. 

Here is some advice that I hope you take Levi. 
Shut up, you're not going to sway anyone with your lack of information to back up what your saying. Just stop now and hopefully people will forget about this.

To be honest, I don't vote because I don't feel that I know enough about politics to be able to be able to make a educated choice. That and I wasn't a citizen till after the last election . . . so I technically was never eligible to vote to begin with . . .</body>

Not that my plea will make any difference to any of you but I personally am grateful for at least the idea that my vote counts for something.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Its funny because I am one of the most passionate people I know IRL about politics, and I'm not voting. It had to do with moving and forgetting I had to reregister before the 6th &lt;b&gt;UGH&lt;/b&gt;</body>

Could people be more derelict? Freedom of speech is an inspired right and to see people do such uninspiring things with said right is disheartening. Banjo-fuckers like this guy should look into receiving mental help. 

I personally feel both of the candidates are extremely intelligent and have great potential to be great leaders. I don't necessarily agree 100% with either of them but I think that voting is awesome. Also I know they have special interest parties backing them that they will owe favors ... well that's just politics. Yes, it is unfortunate but no president will ever make any of us 100% happy. That's why we're Americans. Never content.</body>

But if someone is going to stand up for something, please do it with some tact - with some actual factual information - not just what you heard from mommy, daddy, uncle Bob, Fox news, CNN.. etc.

Jimmy always has a ton of factual information to back up everything he says.  I have yet to see him come in and say "THAT SHITS IMMORAL BITCHES AND THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA".  This goes for either side, McCain or Obama.  

If you're going to talk about serious matters, talk about it with some dignity, use proper English and stop casting stones at everyone that disagrees with you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i totally agree.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

but i do have facts i can tell you why gay marriage isn't the right way to go and why abortion is wrong besides the fact that its imoral and i try to talk about the spread the wealth issue but you keep going back to the war which will end either way and i get my facts from mentors that know a ton about politics and i research myself seriously just cause im 17 doesn't mean im stupid&lt;/blockquote&gt;

A) stop using the age card

and 

B) Give us those facts on same sex marriage please&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i haven't used the age card only once because you keep telling me i get facts from my mom and dad the thing is im getting this all from myself
also if you look at nations that accepted gay marriage they went on to worse things incest, multiple wives, sex with animals all that being legal and then the nation as itself just kinda goes down hill immorally and totally disgusting things are totally normal to people&lt;/blockquote&gt;

i have to comment on this, late in the game, because you are so wrong and ignorant and it can't go ignored. you pull this shit out of your ass without any facts or evidence to support it. 

gay people - two committed adults in a perfectly healthy relationship (don't even argue this because i'll send you right over to the american psychological association). nobody with any credibility in science or psychology believes that being gay is unnatural. it occurs in almost every animal species and there is strong evidence for a gay gene ie; people are born that way. you can't compare being gay to fucking incest or rape or having sex with animals. one doesn't even involve consenting human beings and the other is genetically unnatural. the countries that have made gay marriage legal have had none of the problems you mentioned. then there's also massachusetts which has had gay marriage for a while and the main thing they've seen from that is an economic boost. 

and i know firsthand that being gay doesn't mean you can't have a regular life and a regular family. my aunts are gay and they have 3 kids (who are all straight btw) and they are probably one of the most normal families out there. they're sucessful and great people and you wouldn't even know they were any different from anybody else.

now let's look at the countries with gay marriage so we can see how they're all on the path to hell like you said.... 

countries with gay marriage:
Belgium
Canada
Netherlands
Norway
South Africa
Spain

countries with gay civil unions:
Andorra
Belgium
Czech Republic
Denmark
Ecuador
Finland
France
Germany
Hungary
Iceland
Luxembourg
Netherlands
New Zealand
Slovenia
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
Uruguay

countries with certain states/regions with gay marriage/gay civil unions:
Argentina (C, RN, VCP)
Australia (TAS, ACT, VIC eff. 2008-12-1)
Brazil (RS)
Canada (NS, QC)
Mexico (Coah., DF)
United States (CA, CT, DC, HI, ME, MD, NH, NJ, OR, VT, WA)


clearly all of these countries have made bestiality and incest legal and they are falling apart..

this country is supposed to have separation of church and state. nobody would ever argue for any religion to recognize gay rights. however, if gay people are gonna pay taxes (and they actually pay more than straight people do because they don't get tax breaks. my aunts pay twice as much as my parents do and they're lucky because they have a lot of money, but if they didn't they would be fucked financially) then they should have rights as american citizens. if they live in this country, they pay taxes, they follow the law, they should be treated like anyone else. end of story. people get so obsessed with gays and it's really weird. i dont know why if you're really straight, why you would care what other consenting adults do in the bedroom. fucking weird!
