You sort of suspect that Californians and New Yorkers might be a tad more educated and informed than Montanans and Kansans? Even a little?
No. That's bigotry. Period. If you can cite conclusive proofs, then do so. Otherwise it's a boorish lack of thought, and the broad brush you claim to dislike.
Not all of them are doing it just to be rude.
Didn't say they were rude. I said they were bigoted and some appear to have become mentally unhinged.
Here we have a supposedly above average crowd (intelligence-wise) of folks, and it suffers the same blind ideologies of those they claim to criticize. I'm astonished that people so out of touch with objective reality can even turn on and use a computer.
The bigotry is rampant. Anyone who voted for Bush is a trailer park goon. Sorry. There's just not that many trailer parks. And for the record, I voted for Kerry. It's not an uncommon pattern, though. I often see very intelligent people fall prey to extreme ideologies or bigotry. Intelligence does not seem to be an innoculation against such things. In fact, it can be an amplifier because you have the "I'm smart so I cannot possibly be wrong on any topic in the universe" aspect going on.
Some of the posters here really need to seek counseling. Their detachment from reality is way beyond the point where any professional would decalre it a mental illness.
Some people here seem to think they are literally living in the equivalent of Nazi death camps. They're sick, and I can't even get mad at them anymore. They are pathetic little losers so desperate for attention or someone to give a shit about their meaningless lives they've slipped into a dementia where they become some sort of noble revolutionary fighting the Empire with a rag tag fleet of whatsis. Or something like that. There's a name for the syndrome, but it escapes me.
Its that it is official: You can lie, mislead, and divide, and sucessfully win an election.
Silly rabbit. Didn't you hear? Kerry *lost*!:-)
And I voted for Kerry.
But you whiny pussies and your hand-wringing histrionics are some of the most pathetic losers civilization has ever witnessed. I just wish one of you lot would really follow through on your "threats" to leave the country is Bush won. Those people would actually register an electron volt of respect from me.
Do you even realize that your post, while complaining about percieved bigotry, was bigoted itself? Can you see your own hypocrisy? The rest of your post was a homoerotic strawman. Fascinating.
Grow the hell up and get back to work. Sorry to break the bad news, but you will survive. The country will survive. The world will survive. I know such scenarios are anathema to ideologues, but that's the way it is. I know lots of you secterty dream of being opressed revolutionaries, but you're not. You really don't even understand the basic concepts.
You really are just little nothings with no power flaining out at a universe that doesn't care about you. Thinks about that next time you are wanking off to your Che poster. Sleep well. *kisses*

Here's a better way to vote. Those of you supporting Kerry slit your wrists. Those of you supporting Bush shoot yourselves in the head. We'll count the classify the corpses accurately. Honestly. We will. Really.
Reason magazine had the best cover. It showed a picture of Bush and one of Kerry. The cover said, "Good news. One of these guys is going to lose. Bad news. One of these guys is going to win."
Keep drinking the Kool-aid, folks. Hopefully the ELE asteroid is coming soon to put an end to all this.
Go ahead. Mod me flamebait while marking the "BushKerry is a poopiehead who wants to eat my baby/kitten/grandma" posts as +99 Insightful.
Confused quoting and typo flames. Putting the single example of yourself as a counter to an aggregate judgement... Great. You do not understand a single thing I was saying.
God, humanity sucks! I hate you all! Where's that fucking ELE asteroid already? Just end this mess once and for all, and give it over to the cockroaches.
Though I agree with you, I have to say it's people like him that make me question wether or not I'm in the second category.
Someone vents a little frustration, and you're not sure if it makes you hate an entire nation of diverse people? Way to have command of your own mind there, Sparky. Way to have clarity of vision.
The problem is that it never is limited to "anti the current administration". The problem is that we are continually broad brush bashed as a people (despite being one of the most diversely populated nations in history) by others in the world who have just as many problems and issues as we do, if not more. You expect us to just bend over and ask for more.
I loved the study last year where they found a lot of people around the world got their main view of everyday life in the USA from The Sopranos. There's people out there who literally think we're a nation of mobsters. They buy into this media image lock stock and two smoking barrels. That's why we laugh when people call US ignorant of the rest of the world. EVERYONE is ignorant.
It's the HYPOCRACY that's tiring, not the criticism. The criticism we could give a fleck of gnat's shit about, because it's mostly based on ignorance.
And for what it's worth, I'm voting for Kerry because the USA needs to be taught a little lesson.
You completely and utterly misunderstood what I meant. Try again. Or don't. I really don't care. You're just another dumbass hairless ape with delusions of sentience.
I'm not pissed off at anything. That's your own brain degenerating ideology reading that into my post. As for the rest of your statement, you clearly need to evolve another 500,000 years before you can begin to even have a hope of grasping the complexities of this world. Talk to me again when you reach the level of an australopithicus robustus.
I saw one of those oversized wings on a 2002 Mustang today.
Nice car, kept clean, but with this ragged looking elevated flap marring the back like a vast plastic hangnail. It wasn't even the same color.
I swear, I wanted to make a citizen's arrest.
Then I noticed it was a V6, so I let the loser off with a warning.
Can't you already dial *69 or something to turn off caller ID?
Man, I gotta get cracking on a way to soak some cash out of you paranoia wonks.

And yet, somehow, life in the old USA goes on.

Kiss our collective ass, from whence the sun shines. You keep sitting on yours while we battle the darkness. Hugs and snuggles, Uncle Sam.

Withstand that, and then you may color me impressed.
Which is the best kind of parody. ;-)
I do have my moments. :-D
Heh heh. Maybe you're OK after all. I'm just fuckin' with ya, man. I just want the election over.
God, you're a bore.
I never understood that either. How is voting for someone I don't want *not* throwing my vote away?

You know, I hate Bush, but comments like that make me want to vote for him. Almost. Are you from one of those countries that Saddam bought off?
The USA may be shit, but the rest of the worl is shittier. You criticize us from the shattered remains of your own glass palaces.
It's HUMANITY that is deeply and probably irreversably broken. No one country has any lock on that.
To believe otherwise is metaphysics.
I hope this helps.

Ah. You wound me, sir. :-\ I shall in the future rein in my sentence structure to that of "See Spot run" so as not to unduly confuse you.
Keep drinking the Kool-Aid, toots. Keep fellating the giant ideological cocks leading us down the path of misery and eventual collapse.
Shouldn't you be at some rah-rah political rally ready to give your body and soul to some asshole in a suit looking for votes?
The complete lack of any sense that it matters for half a Smurf fart?
VOTE KERRY 2004! We deserve him.
Translation: you have no life worth living.
Try some pranks in my family. You'll be found floating in a river, if they find you at all.
Man, I gotta get cracking on a way to soak some cash out of you paranoia wonks.
