Man these people are just evil. I just want to watch your tv show for god's sake why do you have to make it do difficult for me. Don't you want me to watch the damned show?
Actually no, they don't. They want you to watch their damned commercials.
To get citizenship here, you have to live here legally for 5 years, and be able to speak one of the primary languages (Swedish or Finnish) when you apply. We'll see how that goes, as that is my plan for the future. Finnish is a very hard language to learn, btw, but within 5 years I hope to be able to get good enough.
I would suggest Swedish, not only is it it easier to learn, but it can be understood (mostly) by the rest of scandinavia, where as Finnish is a bit of a throat decease;-)
"Do yourself a favor. Stay where you are. And the next time Germany invites itself over your border, you can handle it yourselves... After all, you've got us beat on the UN Human Development Index."
The world wouldn't have a problem with you if you stayed where you are. Its because you always interfere they have a problem..
"If I gave my children the vote, it'd be candy for every meal, and staying up all night. Requiring vegetables and a bed time isn't popular, but it is the right thing to do."
Which is exactly why the parents of the world are upset that you children have vote George Black and white Bush in.
And one other thing...all you countries complaining about how Americans are just for world domination...where exactly in our history have we ever done that,
Pretty much all the time. Especially now, if people don't agree with Bush they are his enemies.
But YOU, you've done that many times (Hitler, Napoleon, Lenin, Stahlin, etc.).
You are being manipulative by writing "you" - they were different countries and not some unified country.
We may not be perfect, and there may be a few of us that are anarchists (Michael Moore), but we don't want to dominate you...
Bullshit, of course you do. The democratic majority of the world said Don't invade Iraq, and you said "screw you, we'll break any law we like".
The world protested when you violated human rights to have innocent(*) people imprisoned on Guantanamo but you just invented and excuse and essentially said 'screw you'
(* If they weren't innocent they could have been placed in front of a judge, but they never were)
Would never work - the religious fundamentalists do not want democracy - they believe their "moral" is above democracy and everybody should be FORCE to be their way.
Be they americans or ismalists. And the rest of the world weep when you throw bombs at each other.
The US is going to be stuck in this quagmire for a long long long time. The rest of the world should just get used to the fact we're just a bunch of assholes and move on.
The problem is that you assholes have such big guns.
Perhaps that is why the European Union has amassed an army larger than the US.
And Kerry also got more votes than any American in history with one exception. Because there was a vast turnout this time. No matter how you slice it, he won this election. Electorally, popular vote, plurality of states, plurality of precincts, plurality of counties.
What exactly do you want to change in regards to the rules of the games
One might be tempted to say anyone who voted for him shouldn't be allowed in the future, for the safety of the planet. But your system is very undemocractic, for instance in Missippi few blacks vote because they know they will always be outvoted by the majority of whites. That's not real democracy.
I'd like to be the first to invite you north, to Canada.
Well how long before he invades Canada on some excuse? As Slashdot reported recently, the vast majority of americans either don't know that he is lying to them, or don't care.
Don't forget that in a years time they'll start the motion to have the law changed, so that Bush can have another 4 more years, since everybody sees how well it goes.
The terrorists will not scare the United States as it did Spain, the Phillippines and other countries. I do not believe Kerry would be as effective at this as Bush, but I do believe he will pursue and destroy al Qaeda should he become our President. Anything else sets the precedence to begin the destruction of America.
Your lack of understanding of the world, is what started the destruction of America.
Of course it's easier for bin Laden to deal with the guy who isn't concerned about him, as opposed to the guy who busted BCCI. However, for Al-Quaida, we are a boogeyman that they use to recruit more people. It doesn't really matter who the president is, bin Laden would still call us "the great Satan".
Actually, if you had a president who didn't constantly interfere over there, they might just call you annoying.
I'm curious why so many people think Bush is our best bet for security. Has he actually done anything any other president wouldn't have done? (Other than getting us into an unnecessary war in Iraq?)
Well, presumably all other presidents would not have made enemies of most countries on the planet.

Not for long.

Karl Rove is that you?
(Because its strawman argumentation which is not relevant)
"If we worked it by popular vote, only fewer than 10 states would be needed to win the election."
Time to get rid of all those states and become one real country.
"If we did it by popular vote, a Democrat would win nearly every time because CA, NY, and a couple of other states have the most population."
So you generally think its better that the minority decide. Not very democratic.
In short: How about making it a real democracy?

"Your cant't-live-here-anymore friends can't need to figure out how to get rid of their blind spot about the values of Red State folks."
Yeah, history will recognize their great help in starting world war 3.
"Creationism is a widely held, not disproved, and scientifically sound theory."
No, its not considered a sound theory by anybody but religious fundamentalists.
Don't forget that in a years time they'll start the motion to have the law changed, so that Bush can have another 4 more years, since everybody sees how well it goes.
Slate believes...
That it has a right to screw up the election. Thumbs up guys!
There is no such thing as a reliable source of exit polling data in this country
;)
Because you are a bit of a banana republic who haven't quite got that election thing under control
Since the Red Sox won the Series the end of the world must be rapidly approachi.
So you are saying Bush is going to win?
Mature="knows better"
Perfect!=Mature.
Now the ignorant will vote for Bush
"Don't like it? Change the LAW.
Except you can't - in the so called western democracies its MONEY that makes the law. Not people.
Well you are the immature little kid, while they are the mature parents.
Honestly. That Jewish thing is completely ridiculous ... fact is we're a target because we're a World Power
No, that's not the facts. And as long as you close your mind to the real facts you are a treat to decent citizens around the world.
