hear, hear
Tom Brokaw was on Letterman earlier this evening, and I believe he said something about, while the electoral vote was fairly close, the popular vote wasn't quite so much I think I was reading the other day in our campus newspaper, a notoriously liberal editorialist who's in a polysci class of mine (he even sounds liberal, if ya know what i mean), made some comment in his weekly editorial about disliking people who make the "if you don't vote you can't complain" argument. except for, that's utterly false. this country's longevity is prolonged by the participation in the democratic process; the process is based on the ability of people to speak out. if you choose not to exercise this right, then your right to complain is diminished. if you're apathetic, that's not my problem. you're obviously not apathetic enough to take time to complain about something.

I think some of you are going a little too far in telling us non Americans to but out. This election result and the foreign policies of your government have an affect on countries around the world including my own. My country has troops in Iraq (with a country of only 20 million, I wonder why the hell for) risking their lives, we lost people in 9/11. Your country’s decisions effect my country’s decisions.
I have nothing against Americans or America and I'm not complaining that Bush won he won fair and square, but I think the world has a right to express their opinions on the subject. lol

And I'm a citizen of this world! You just don't know how much affect this has on the rest of the world. And oh, I believe Micheal Moore, yeah! And I'm fucking proud of it!

Michael Moore , you have got to be kidding me he is as liberal as they come. Go to your nearest video store and rent Farenhype 911, it rebuttals every lie Michael Moore ever made up in that trash of a movie.

Bush didn't start this war, we didn't start this war, the terrorist started this war and we are making sure damn sure that we finish this war. Oh and if you enjoy your freedom all over the world, thank a soldier because they are dying for it, for you and me. The right man got the job. Our country the great UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is always helping other countries in trouble so I would suggest that you all love they neighbor because you never know when your 911 may occur and you need our help. GOD BLESS AMERICAl.

He's not the President of the world. Honestly, how much has Bush's Presidency affected life in Sweden? Come on... I know what the sentiment is in Europe... and I don't give a fuck. You are most likely just switching beliefs with the wind, going along with what your parents, friends, and the European media tell you. And Michael Moore is a socialist, and gladly admits it. Do you what that is? That is what Hitler believed in... Read "Michael Moore Is A Big, Fat, Stupid White Man." It is completely fact and reveals the true Moore. Maybe one day you will learn to appreciate the man who is saving your ass as we speak. |

Its not so much that we want the world to stay the fuck out, its just their reactions are a bit too farfetched. For someone who isn't directly affected by our policy, they seem to complain a lot more than Americans.

The thing that i don't get is Bush as a person. You see, here in europe MOST of our leaders are intelectual humans. It seems to me that the american people want a simple man for a difficult job. The reason i don't like him is just for being such a big time cowboy, an all american guy. I'm not gonna say wether you should vote for the democrats, (which you should) But in the name of god, why did the republican party let Bush run for president in the first place back in 2000.
Well, the end of the story is that most people in europe were anti-bush, not anti- america, but now i'm really starting to doubt the intelect of a litlle bit more then 50% of the american voters. |

First of all, that is a fucking stereotype. We, AMERICANS, are affected by 100% of what the President does and we elected him. You are affected by maybe 2-3% of what he does. Stop your bitching. He honestly has no real effect on your life, you just like to put our country down and make everything dramatic. The war in the middle east is only a small part of our issues. We don't really care that much about it compared to you fucks. And our citizens are some of the smartest people on earth. Why do you think we have all the money and world influence??? What significant things has any European country done in the last few decades? OH, HAHA, that's right.... NOTHING! ..... And one more thing. There is a reason my vote counted 1,000,000 X more than many of you in this thread. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GO SHOVE IT Last edited by Steve : 11-04-2004 at 12:12 PM.

Well, maybe your reaction is why i'm doubting your intelect.
But he, maybe Bush doesn't effect my life here in 'save europe', but i do care about others like poor people, like people in parts of the world where the policy of bush does have any affect. and again, i don't mind that you are a republican, the only thing i mind is that you voted for bush. And I thought he really was a cowboy! Last edited by heinzel : 11-04-2004 at 11:12 AM. |

Alright. Go ahead and doubt my intellect. I am attending one of the greatest universities in the US (therefore in the world), my test scores have consistently in the top few percent in the nation, and I have been very successful in all of the work I have done. I have also donated a lot of my time to help my community and have toured the country with my choir, preaching the Gospel through song for all to many to hear. For a young person, I have been incredibly active in politics and will continue to do so.
If those are signs of a lack of intellect, then I am guilty. |

Just because Bush comes across as simple and average does not make him such. I remember reading or seeing a joke about, how is it that Pres. Bush, who has likely never spent any significant time w/ Middle-Class or Lower-Class people (he went to an uppity pvt school, then Yale... etc), comes across as more an Average Joe than John Kerry, who, in the least, served in Vietnam? I was watching a show on PBS last week, and it said Bush has an objective IQ in the 95th %ile, and Kerry's "only" in the 91st. So, he's not that dumb. He's just not a great public speaker. I consider myself to be fairly intelligent, but my public speaking skills are lacking somewhat; does that make me wholly simple and downright stupid? No. People tend to associate public speaking skills with intelligence, which partly explains why Hitler became so wildly popular in Nazi Germany. And it's too bad you doubt our intellect. I call yours into question, saying that you would not advocate support of the Democrat party, then putting, in parentheses, immediately after the previous comment, that one should support the party. That's just absurd.
