<p>ok ive def been on too long. i gotta do some homework. til tomorrow.</p>
<p>I gotta go too. Best wishes for your snow day tomorrow Earilmadith!</p>
<p>Bye! I’ll still be around a bit, if any of you decide to come back!</p>
<p>Jesus, guys. </p>
<p>Jesus.</p>
<p>I was like “Oh, hey, I should check up on CC to see if there are any new posts,” and BAM. Fifteen more pages!</p>
<p>To the presidential candidate debate: Hilary is my savior. Most of the time. But hey, nobody is 100% perfect, right?
And I’m really annoyed by people who just go along with whatever political view everyone else has. I asked this one girl in my history class who she was going to vote for, and she said Obama because he was black and trippin’.
So in an effort to try to continue, I said, “So then, what are your views on his stances on things like healthcare, the war in Iraq, taxes… you know what I mean…?”
She just gave me a blank stare and told me, “I said I’m votin for him cuz he’s trippin.”</p>
<p>Right. </p>
<p>No wonder so many adults don’t think teenagers aren’t mature or responsible enough. </p>
<p>But then, adults do the exact same thing.
Hmph.
Laziness.
They just go for whatever party they happen to like.
I’m being rather absolutist in this post, but irritation seems to do that to me. Maybe I should fix that.</p>
<p>What is it about Hilary that you like?</p>
<p>And I’m Christian. </p>
<p>I definitely don’t believe in all that my pastor says. My whole church think that homosexuals/atheists/anybody-who-doesn’t-believe-or-behave-exactly-like-them/etc should be either corrected, put away, or killed.</p>
<p>That’s right. Killed. </p>
<p>Because most of them believe that the end of the world is coming soon. And it’s coming even sooner because God is angry with the world for have the people listed above. </p>
<p>I believe in God. But not an angry God. </p>
<p>And sometimes I do waver in my faith. But I can’t seem to allow for the destruction of an afterlife. I can’t comprehend life on earth without an afterlife.</p>
<p>i just watched the debate
they have the same damn views on nearly everything</p>
<p>I think a obama/clinton or clinton/obama ticket should def do it</p>
<p>And in reply to the query from a long long time ago, I live in Texas. So that would be Central. I think TASP made it Pacific time so that people living in Cali wouldn’t be turning their stuff in late, even if it were 11:59:59 for them.</p>
<p>That’s why I like Ron Paul. At least he’s different.</p>
<p>alamode - that’s kind of how I felt about today’s debate too
They both follow the established party platform almost to a T. The only reason why Hilary is so controversial is because she:</p>
<p>a) Is a woman.
b) Is married to Bill.</p>
<p>Actually, I’d say she’s controversial because she:</p>
<p>a) Accepts moneys from lobbyists
b) Campaigned in Michigan and Florida despite agreeing not to
c) Uses personal attacks that divide her party
d) Sat on the Wal-Mart Board and didn’t support union rights
e) Essentially supports the war in Iraq (clapping during the state of the union, records of her statements)
f) Is hugely dependent on her husband for support
g) Will stop at nothing to become the next president</p>
<p>whoa, i turn on the computer 4 hours after i left, and bam! 10 more pages. my prediction almost came true. see post #1223</p>
<p>i watched the South Carolina debate btw. her and obama. They pretty much spent the entire evening trying to diss each other. Seriously, let’s get back to the main point of the debate. dissing won’t solve any problems. stupid politicians</p>
<p>well this one was a little less about dissing it went more like</p>
<p><em>one of them says something good, usually ending with a swipe at Bush or McCain</em>
<em>the other agrees, on both fronts, and adds a little b.s. to make it seem like they arent just simply agreeing, then remembers that he/she is running against the person he/she just agreed with, and so makes an indirect swipe at the opposition</em>
<em>initial speaker handles the swipe, and swipes back</em></p>
<p>Hillary’s swipe against Obama=less experience
Obama’s swipe against Hillary=flipflop
thats it, apparently they couldnt think of anything else wrong with each other. </p>
<p>i swear that was the format, for nearly every question.
if you just take clips of the first answer to each question, you’d get a lot of information though. </p>
<p>still, I agree with their views.</p>
<p>I stopped watching “debates” during the 2004 election. Those are not debates, there soft questions and fluff answers. Honestly, if a candidate is asked whether they would raise or lower the income tax, the candidate will start speaking aimlessly about the hard-working, patriotic citizens that compose America and other answers that completely avoids the question, but what really gets me is when the audience members clap to an obviously bs response like “America is the greatest nation in the world.” I mean seriously, are brains checked at the door?</p>
<p>they should make a new restriction : all candidates wishing to run for president must have an IQ of at least 50. that’ll winnow out a lot of the candidates. lol</p>
<p>heh. Better yet, they should be required to take the citizenship exam that immigrants must take to gain entry into the country. After that initial screening, who ever is left over must be…oh I can’t think. It’s midnight, for pete’s shake why are we awake? See everybody 'morrow</p>
<p>only 9:30 where i’m at. c’mon people keep talking. i actually have time now</p>
<p>Hudson : citizenship test is ridiculous (i.e. where is the highest point of elevation on American soil). if all U.S. born citizens had to take it, at least 1/4 would fail</p>
<p>Mount McKinley?</p>
<p>EDIT: YAY, I pass!</p>
<p>noooo… you must also mention its native american name Denali. that way, you can prove your deep knowledge of american culture all the way back to the original americans (we don’t want to be prejudiced, now do we?). by the way, also summarize the legend surrounding Denali as well as its precise altitude and the middle name of the first person to climb it as well as his mother’s hair color. 
not to mention a whole bunch more questions</p>
<p>sorry… you will now be deported to djibouti</p>
<p>Oh dear. Why djiouti? (Other than the fact that its name is awesome.)</p>
