Descending into darkness
For those of you who aren't from the United States, let me explain. We just lost our country to the far right. For the next two years, don't expect any enlightment from the U.S.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Ah, come on man. Look at it this way, the Dems lost because they didn't have any idea's. Now that they are out of the leadership role's they can sit back and come up with some idea's that the more liberal people will like instead of resort to rehashing old scare tatics.
In Utah, I did the opposite of the nation even though it didn't work. I voted for mostly Democrats because the Repubs have a super majority and have becume lazy and have no new and fresh ideas. I'd hoped that if more Dems got elected the Repubs would have taken notice and came up with some good ideas to counter them. Unfortunatly that didn't happen in my state. But nationally, I'm happy.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Well you just have to keep an eye on them and get rid of the fundies.

Sometimes its just impossible to get rid of some politicians. Look at Davis in Cal. I mean what didn't he fuck up and he is still there.

Whooo hooo, they just keep increasing the majority don't they. Good, I don't have to worry about any backroom deal to make a 50 50 slit turn into some ones majority.Kelly Antilles wrote:Yeah, she finally took the majority.

Just to clarify, if the Democrats gained full control of congress and the white house, we'd be just a screwed but in different ways. People who didn't want to work would be compensated for their laziness, and those of us who did work out be taxed out the ass.
At least when you have one party controling one thing, and another controling another, there is somewhat of a balance. Now that the Republicans have full control, they can do just as much as they want. I'm happy with the fact that we'll probably get lower taxes and bigger military spending, but it pisses me off to no end that Bush will now get the go ahead to stack the Judicial branch with fundie after fundie.
Why the hell can't we have more than two parties, this fucking sucks!

We have four major parties.Wicked Pilot wrote: Why the hell can't we have more than two parties, this fucking sucks!
Two in the centre pushing towards opposite sides, one in the left, and one in the right.
And don't worry. While the U.S sinks more and more into the darkness, Europe will hold as the bastion of freedom of speech and from religion.

Re: Descending into darkness
No offense, but I never expect any enlightenment from the US. The United States was a fairly progressive nation ... more than a hundred years ago (and that was only relative to other states at the time, not relative to modern states).Wicked Pilot wrote:For those of you who aren't from the United States, let me explain.

That's the idea.
