  1. I'm in England and I'm not American... but... by byolinux · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I hope that everyone who can vote, bothers to. No matter what you decide to vote for, taking the time to vote is important.

    Personally, I'd like to see Bush out of office, and I assume that if that happens, it'll be Kerry that does it.

  2. Unless you live in a swing state... by John+Harrison · · Score: 1, Redundant
    vote for a 3rd party candidate! Obviously the choices the Republicans and Democrats have given you are crap. Express your displeasure with the system in a way that will have no negative consequences no matter which of the two puppets you want to win.

    If you do live in a swing state, I am so sorry that your TV has been taken over for the last while. Don't worry though, it will be over soon!

    Ok lets get this straight right now.


    There is no war on terror.
    There is no war on terror.
    There is no war on terror.


     To have a war on terror is to have a war on a human emotion. Terror is vivid fear. The war on terror would have to be an internal war. And the best tool to win that war would be meditation. To learn how to control one's emotions like one drives a car.

    Bush fools ALL people of the United States of America by enforcing this impossible objective.

    AND if Humans ever win the war on terror, they will become Lemmings. People that have no terror/fear can walk off a clif to their death. Why? Because their biological warning system has been disabled. This would be winning the war on terror.

    The FUNNY thing is... everyday I see a suicide bomber destroy buildings/cars/gatherings of Humans. These suiciders have won the war on terror. To take one's own life for the cause of a cognitive objective the absolute victory over fear.

    The soldiers of the US/UK have shown that. So have the terrorists.


    I wasn't given an option to be anything but Human. I am born into a world where there is no unclaimed/natural land & I cannot leave the human race because the race dominates earth.

    Earth is officially a global village.
    Each country has a mindset, which makes them a life force. Younger countries have younder mindsets. Older countries have older mindsets. The United States of America is a child still; A fat child with much of it's population un-educated in the ways of the "big picture." Look towards the Greeks, Romans, Germans, Russians, Chinese... basically the world and learn that ALL empires will crumble. Being World-Stupid will accelerate an empire's demise.


    Spank the USA, Fire bush, and stop the killing.
    No biological weapons have wiped out any states yet. Lets keep it that way?
