International Reaction
So, does anyone know what the reaction to Kerry's concession has been in Canada, Europe and the rest of the world?

You'd be amazed at the reactions I'm getting off people. For some, that is a possibility. A vote for Bush is a vote for the Apocalypse. Me and most in my family don't give a shit though. I'd have liked a better result, however.frigidmagi wrote:Riiiggghhttt, you really meant that you expected Hell to open up beneath you. Suurrrreee.
I believe this is the reaction of the international community:

Well if that's the case then, I suppose I can't agrue against that logic.You'd be amazed at the reactions I'm getting off people. For some, that is a possibility. A vote for Bush is a vote for the Apocalypse. Me and most in my family don't give a shit though. I'd have liked a better result, however

If I find a Guardian article with that feeling of dread to it, I'll bring it up. Frankly, I feel dirty handling that paper, but my politics society president buys it so I can see how they're reacting.frigidmagi wrote:

I expect a Jihad or something.

Why the extreme aversion to the Guardian, what have they done to upset you so much?Admiral Valdemar wrote:If I find a Guardian article with that feeling of dread to it, I'll bring it up.

They're a bit pretentious? It's more to do with the fact that I hate extremes and that paper can be the opposite extreme, the Yin to the Yang that is FOX News et al.Plekhanov wrote: Why the extreme aversion to the Guardian, what have they done to upset you so much?
OK, maybe not that bad, I did like that last article by one columnist on Bush. For the most part, it's not my cup-o-tea.

It's the Independent; it has to be sarcasm. Believe me, while they're not particularly party-aligned they can definately be classed as the 'liberal' paper.Joe wrote: Snip headline
Hmm, I dunno, dude. It looks to me like they're pretty happy.
And judging from the headlines (BBC News has em up) the Guardian seems... vaguely depressed if anything ('And Now... Four More Years'/'This is no passing phase, this is now an era'), though I expect they'll have some good old self-rightious vitriol inside on the C&A pages.[/i]

Actually, her current comments are nothing I haven't thought myself. Her previous comments were a wee bit over the top, but I understand the sentiment, and their quoting and length of attention devoted to them in the article seems to be purposely intended to be inflammatory.

Why isn’t that ever an issue of politics? Because you don’t live in a democracy. You live in a plutocracy. Money rules.

Aren't the French trying to get back into America's good graces? Or vice versa? That's something.
