With the elections coming up,who would you vote for and why?
Posted by: Yuka Jan 16 2008, 02:11 AM
Ralph, just because I don't like anyone running in the race.
Posted by: Enzd Jan 16 2008, 02:14 AM
Hillary, because...
I don't know. I like her hair?
Edit: OH AND I THINK BILL CLINTON IS FUNNY.

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton
Posted by: jcdietz03 Jan 16 2008, 03:37 AM
Does that mean you want Clinton? Also why?
I don't know. I like her hair?
Edit: OH AND I THINK BILL CLINTON IS FUNNY.
Which candidate most closely believes what I believe?
Another important consideration is this question:
Does my candidate have a reasonable chance of being elected.
Your answer to the OP question should be based on your answer to the above 2 questions.

I want Obama to win, but I think Hilary is going to win.
Posted by: Raijinili Jan 16 2008, 04:25 AM
It means that "Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton" would be funny.
Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 16 2008, 04:50 AM
Yes it would.

Rai: Who do u want and why? Do u care?
Yeah, well Clinton and Obama are very similar in their viewpoints and both of them have a reasonable chance of getting elected soo,,, You need to move on to other factors in that case...
I want Obama too b/c I believe he is less dishonest than Clinton. I was going to say "more honest" but "honest politician" is an oxymoron (doesn't make sense). Also, tired of GWBush. Another Republican just won't do it for me. Let's not forget to mention that McCain is almost a carbon copy of Bush in terms of issue stances.
Sorry Enzd, your post is just too classic. I have to quote it again:
I don't know. I like her hair?
Edit: OH AND I THINK BILL CLINTON IS FUNNY.

I won't answer until I get my answer.

If Colbert ran for President, I'd vote for him. >_>
Posted by: P.P.A. Jan 16 2008, 02:58 PM
I still find American democracy weird. There are only just 2 parties (as opposed to 10-20 here), and the president has actually power instead of just representing his party? Weird.
Posted by: aerozero Jan 16 2008, 05:17 PM
There are more parties, but they lack the money, publicity, and power to successfully run against the Republicans and Democrats.

Ron Paul

Okay, I'll answer those questions.
1. I don't believe anything so I don't give a damn.
2. Yes.
Happy? I'm not even old enough to vote yet (although it's coming close) so I don't think I have to worry about what the candidates believe, or even what they're offering. I COULD, but I don't want to. When I am old enough and have a chance to vote, my decision is going to be based off of serious thought. Now leave me alone, forever.

You obviously don't know the meaning of trolling.
Posted by: jcdietz03 Jan 17 2008, 10:54 AM
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response. (wikipedia.com)
It obviously worked... (Refer to emo response above)
Its up to you whether you think it's my fault or his...
Back on topic plz.

You post that poor people wouldn't be so poor if they didn't make bad decisions. I ask if you're blaming the poor people for making bad decisions. You dodge the question, and then ignore me. Who's the troll?
Posted by: jcdietz03 Jan 17 2008, 10:39 PM
Ignoring means I don't want to answer your question. I don't make a post saying "I don't want to answer your question" cuz that would be trolling. Not posting is always safe and is never considered trolling. How could you provoke a response by NOT posting? You generally troll by making up a provocative post.
Also, my reply to your original question would probably seen by the admin as a legitimate attempt to answer the question, and therefore isn't trolling. If you disagree, the little "report" link is waiting for you below that post...
I didn't "report" your post in this thread b/c I think I don't have a very strong case. If I was 100% sure it would be considered trolling by the admin, I would've reported it.
Oh - and Romney/Clinton won Michigan for those who care. Clinton doesn't count b/c she was the only one on the ballot. She doesn't get credit for the victory b/c Michigan went early in primary voting. Therefore the national democratic convention pulled the Michigan votes.
Posted by: Yuka Jan 17 2008, 11:19 PM
You called him a troll, dodged the question, and still don't reply. It sounds to me like you're the troll here.

Same here.

I don't trust my own knowledge and judgement enough to decide this country's future.
Posted by: aerozero Jan 18 2008, 10:37 PM
hahaha, I don't either, that's why we supposedly have the Electoral College.

Make me the president of Germany. Or better the king of the world.

A good reason not to vote is when you know you have no chance to influence the outcome of the election.
Even if I had 100 friends and I could convince them to all vote for my candidate, it wouldn't matter. Since I live in Massachusetts (a heavily democratic/liberal state) no matter which way me and my 100 friends vote, it's certain the Democratic candidate (for president) will win, at least in this state.
It's rare though to have an election where every office you elect is like this. You have a reasonable chance of affecting the outcome (with your 100 friends) for offices that are not statewide, such as congressman.

If everyone thought that way, then yes, it would be pointless.

I LIKE HER HAIR
She is a fictional character and thus cannot be a presidential candidate.
So there.
