this thread has been the most mellow discussion of recent political events I have see on the web lately.

there are myst forums that have gotten many times more brutal than this. o_O 

and 50 something percent of america sucks too.

Ok? 

arnold for pres 

...Eddie Murphy for US president. Wait... the US already his visually-manipulated clone as a president! 

That's the only obvious matchup I can see right now. 

Change Colin with Sharpton. 

You blew my mind there, Zwiffle! 

Good shows I've been watching lately:
Arrested Development (new season woot!)
Desperate Housewives (woot!)
Boston Legal
Lost
Scrubs
American Football

Just thought I would share my favorites from the season so far. 

Lunaran, I think it is a mistake to view the world in a unitarian fashion. It may seem that way when you speak to a lot of people from dozens of nations on the web, but I have found it to be a truism that most college educated people reflect the opinions of their nations elites until they are neck deep in the realities of the work force for about a decade.

At that juncture the main concern becomes which side of the political spectrum is likely to be least damaging to the bond market, the stock market, and my 401K's.


Err, that's nice, but, what does it have to do with Arnold Schwarzenegger?

It is a 'nice' way of saying they will balk at Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming the US president while ignoring ethnic cleaning going on in their own backyard like a bunch of well trained monkeys as is par for the course.

Personally, I'd like to see the US foreign policy to become more like the Swiss. It would save us a lot of treasure and American lives, but no one seems to notice that the same people who denounce American intervention today are the same people who denounced us a decade ago for being 'isolationist' when we were relunctant to get involved in their problem in the Balkans. 

Not only would America elect an Austrian as its president, it would be Arnold Goddamn Schwarzenegger. And the world would balk at us all the more. <\i>

is a convoluted way of saying, who cares? As I write this I'm listening to the radio and the lead guitarist of a well known German band is adding his .02 cents which sounds like the same penny-ante crap coming out of every other icehole.

I'm just waiting for some one to make the reducto-ad-hitler argument that occurs on every other message board thread. It is BOUND to happen. 

Are you arguing with me or agreeing?

sharing in a conversation with a fellow Quake traveler on the current political scene?

At one point, I did state that I believed it to be a mistake to view the opinion of the non US part of the world as having one cohesive voice, and I thought that was part of the argument you made in the post I was addressing. So on a superficial level, it may appear that I am arguing with you.

I don't necessarily disagree with that post, however. If, hypothetically, uhm, extremely, hypothetically, Arnold became the US President it is likely that there would be an uproar. But I do question the relevance and the universality of such an uproar. 

is speaking in an interview! I'm peeing myself! 

was just a reaction to the ten thousanth time I heard the comparison of George W Bush to Adolf Hitler. It gets my blood boiling to hear such rubbish.

If you have to compare Bush to any past leader, it would be Benito Mussolini, but the comparissons to Hitler are just grossly unfair. 

But am the only one who hears Desperate Housewives and thinks that sounds like porn?

p.s. czg's new logo and slogan rock. 

The US seems to have 2 gears: isolationist (bad) and invading places (bad). When we say we want you to be part of the world community we really mean we want you to come out to play and to STOP FUCKING BOMBING THINGS. 

I think it has run it's course.

Bush got in. We get it. 

I get the same thing when somebody says "Amateur Handjobs" or "Amazing Penetrations 15".

We must be warped. 

... I think many of us are bored with US presidential election... Now it's over, and even if we can complain about american's choice, it's too late to discuss about what it should have been great or not to do... so stop boring mappers with these fucking consideration, and GO MAP !! grrrrr.... 

Hey guys I need to write a paper on types of text styles. Specifically I need to find examples from the following list and write on their differences between them. Here's the list...

Old Style
Transitional
Modern
Egyption
Sanserif
Miscellaneous

I know some of you are art kids and I thought you might have links to information on those types. I've googled a lot on the subject but have really failed to find any articles on the subject of value. Perhaps some of you have links to some better information. The paper is realitvely easy, just have write 4 things about the font aesthitically, and then 4 things on a more objective take, such as mood. It's not a difficult assignment but I haven't gotten the book for this class and I was hoping to avoid needing too.

If you guys can help out, it'd be super cool. Thanks 

Let us discuss neck pains instead.
So I sit here, and I kinda stretch my hands in the air, and snap, my neck is stuck at a 10� angle to the right.
MIRACLE MAGIC BALM FROM BOOTS ANNO 1996 IS NOT WORKING. GROUND SUPPORT NEEDED! 

Sounds like you've been playing too much Doom3.

P.S. Retake #tf. 

I sit with my head staring straight at the monitor for like 5 hours straight usually. My back hurts from work. I blame George W. Hitler.Viva le Times New Roman!

PS: Desperate Housewives IS basically porn, but without the sex. 

When you have neck pain, you're having neck pain with HITLER.
