I never once said Bush had supporters around the world. I said the parent was wrong that "... for the rest of the world your democrat party is right wing." The countries you listed do not view the Democratic Party as right wing.
If those third party votes went to Kerry, Kerry would have won Ohio and Florida and be president right now.
Don't try this game. You can't and don't know how those people would've voted if... Let people vote for whom they please. Don't imply that they waste their vote for that person. Certainly don't try to reassign their vote based on what you believe they should've done.
You know what? She judged me as Conservative Republican before she had ever asked me about a single opinion on a political issue, too. She, like you, was full of shit. A Maoist, I've been; A Constitutionalist, I've been; A Libertarian, I've been; but I have never been a Republican.
At this point in my life, I refuse to let someone else tell me what to believe, and neither do I tell anyone. Besides, when living and working in a foreign country, the cardinal rule for staying out of trouble is to avoid inflammatory topics like politics and religion.
I'll tell you what. I'll convert to JH, sit next to you, and tell you every day how you need to check out my newest literature, of which there is a never ending supply. When you politely decline, saying that you aren't interested and are perfectly happy with your belief system, I'll insist, turn up the attitude, and leave little notes or "reminders" on your desk for weeks. Eventually, you'll tell me to shut up at work, too. Work isn't for that type of activity. It's for work.
She has the right to talk about her beliefs outside of work, and I respect that. I have the right to never listen to her if I choose not to, because, to paraphrase Good Will Hunting,
"I haven't heard anything from you that I didn't already read in a book somewhere." (Probably twenty years ago, at that!)
I have read many summaries of the movie, and heard endless discussions of it. My workmate "insisted" that I watch it today. I politely declined. I won't be renting Rush's next movie about the evil Pres. Kerry, either. I have many more useful things that I can do with my time than watching a movie about someone's political agenda.
I could, for instance, be comparing all their views from various sources on the internet, save myself two hours, and use that to learn something useful, like QT.
I hope it's all decided quickly, so the Canadian who sits next to me at work can stop bitching about the election all day every day. I swear she cares more deeply about this than I do.
And, to her, no, I still won't watch F.9/11, thank you very much. I don't need any extra propoganda in my life.
Oh, yeah. N. Korea needed help, because the "recipe" for building nuclear weapons has been a highly guarded secret for sixty years. Hell, I did a report on it twenty years ago in High School with just library materials...
The ingredients are what's hard to get. Well, not now that the USSR has opened up the market on them.
Oh. I am not a proponent of the current electoral system, and would love to see it changed. I was just quoting the position of those who chose that system. The small states needed this form to keep representation.
And the argument can be made that without an Electoral College that every vote would matter in every state.
Any argument can be made, but, since the electoral system was created specifically for the purpose of not marginalizing the smaller states, I don't think that this one would hold water.
Ohio is a fairly heavily populated state.
With 11,435,798 people, or less than 4% of the populace, I don't think you could call it heavily populated when compard to CA, TX, or NY, though it does rank 7th. (And that comes as a shock to me) It would only give 10% of the combined votes of the six states above it (I rounded to the hundred thousands for that stat).
I don't live in the US, so I don't know where and how much campaigning has been done in Kansas or Missouri this year, but it is certainly more than there would be if the popular vote was all that counted. Ohio and Iowa wouldn't matter at all.
The midwest probably sees little campaigning because it is assumed to go Republican, anyway.
And the votemaster is showing that Bush will win the popular vote in five polls, while Kerry wins in only three polls, yet Kerry is expected to win the electorate by 67 votes, or over 10%. The popular vote is NOT the electoral vote, and counts for sh*t.
Change the laws if you don't agree, but getting OK, KS, and MO to move all the campaigning to NY and CA might be a little difficult...
I'm not talking about putting mail into mozilla. I'm talking about using one IM client when you need, say, video, and another when you need file transfer.
What's even worse is that you often need to use several of those apps on a regular basis, because each does something the other doesn't do well or at all. I have been a solely Linux user for years now, but it's difficult for me to talk to people about this. "Use Program A, except when you need to do Task X, which you should use Program B for." I giess that I could leave my gf in the dark about this all, but I don't, so she often gets a little confused about it.
If it is the only cloudcover, then use the first, in indeterminate clause, but use the second, a determinate clause, if you are refering to a particular type of cloudcover on the moon.

kerry would of [sic] lead the country...
You don't have to wait four years to see improvement. Start with yourself before you indict others.
My sister rode a short bus her whole life, you insensitive clod!
Just because people disagree with you doesn't make them stupid. Just because you believe something doesn't make it right.
Grow some humility. IHBT.
or 25-33% of America
confused about the distinction between square miles of dirt and citizens
Looks like you're the one confused about the distinction between America and Americans.

Your view of "the rest of the world" appears to include only Europe.
I wonder if you are using any info supplied by governments currently pushing OSS. Try contacting Thailand, Laos, and many S. American countries.

I believe everything I read, and I think that makes me a more selective human being... or something like that. Credit to Spinal Tap.

Sounds like Microsoft's business plan.
GNU does have a utility, libtrash, which adds a trashcan to the CLI. The processes don't have to be contradictory.

And a popular song...
"While the humuhumunukunukuapua'a go swimming by..."
I don't trust it with anything important though
Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

You read it. IT's a cut-n-paste troll...
Plus multiple base systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and The Hurd. Apt-get install crosshurd to try them out.
