That is very kind of you to offer your dead body to the progression of this country. I accept.
But on a serious note I am not trying to force anything on you. You can choose to think, feel, or do whatever the hell you want, but don't try and tell me to how think, feel, or act. Your comment above shows your inability to accept a difference of oppinion. Liberals need to get a grip on reality and start to see that people actually do think different than they do. That people actually like what Bush stands for, what he has done, and look forward to what he will do.
Bush received a mandate based on the MAJORITY of votes, both in the popular and the electoral votes. That is the greatness of this country. Bush won so he sets the agenda, not the loosers. My suggestion to you is this: if *you* don't like the outcome, and think the *rest* of us are all so dumb, or stupid, or whatever, then get out there and educate us idiots so we vote the *correct* way in four years. All I hear is whining that you lost, but I have not heard any solid ideas to advance your views or chances for a victory in four years.
So please don't use the word *force*, because I have never forced anything on anyone.
Ignorance and cowardice? It seems more like the people of this country spoke with force and conviction on who they wanted to lead this country for the next four years. Just because *you* don't like Bush or his policies or where he is leading this country, it is pretty obvious that the majority *DO* approve.
This country is a Represenative Republic and not a Democracy, and as such, the system has worked perfectly. I beleive that the Democrats lost because they have no platform on which to run. They have no issues and they only pander to special interests. John Kerry's whole race was based on hate and manipulation, and the people of this country saw through his thin veil of lies and deciet. Seriously, had Kerry's campaign been based on the truth, and had he spoken the truth about GWB, then I beleive that he would have won in a land slide because the people of this country are not so blind and stupid as the liberals and the "rest" of the world think that we are.
Bush ran on principals. He ran on conviction. And he ran on a mandate for keeping the course in Iraq, and in the world. If these things piss of Liberals and the world then so be it. The USA was attached on 9/11 and it is our right to defend ourselves in any way we see fit. Iraq was a hotbed for terrorists and posed a real threat (even according to John Kerry before he bagan running for president). No, Iraq was not responsible for 9/11, but they were housing and supporting terrorist around the world that had ties to 9/11 and Al Quida. According to all the data present at the time we invaded, it was beleived that Iraq was well on it's way to developing Nuclear weapons. Just because we didn't find any WMD in Iraq does not mean that they didn't have them (remember that it took over 7 months to go through all the resolutions in the UN after the inspectors had left). How easy it would have been to pack them up and ship them out, or bury them out in some god-forsaken remote area of the country.
So thank God Bush won. Thank God we get another four years of his "selfish, evil attitude". And to hell with the rest of the world, because I could care less what they think. You don't see me on here flameing Spain's president for pulling his troops out of Iraq, or pissing on the good name or Schroder in Germany. Of course I don't like them, but they were choosen by their countries to lead *them*. So be it. But Bush is *my* president. This is our country, not theirs, and we need to look out for ourselves first. I know that is harsh, but it is the truth.
Well, Mr. Byron, it is nice to know that there are still people in this world that are still pushing for things like cenership, child molestation, and the banning of all thing make believe. Keep up the good work!
But as for me, I will stick to things like freedom, people who beieve that child molestation is bad, and people who can actually make a distinction between reality and make beleive. You see, your little article in the New York Post (online) is rediculous in many ways, but the most glaring, and I must say stupid, thing that you put in your article was that little quip about how playing GTA:Vice City is 10,000 times worse than molesting children. You must have been asleep when you wrote that! I can't possible believe that anyone, and I mean ANYONE, would think that child molestation is better in any way than playing video game, regardless of the game. I can understand you not liking the game, or even thinking it bad and evil and not allowing your children (if you have children, that is) to play the game, but to blatently dive off the deep end into a pool with no water by saying you would rather people molest children! That is deffinitly not understandable.
I think that mabey you need to take a closer look at the things you are trying to write about before you go and just blow off steam. I would be willing to bet you haven't played the game, and if you have, than for no more that a few hours at most. But yet you probably go to the movies and watch shows that glorify the same disregard for the law, unnecessary cruelty, car thefts, killings, blood, and all the other things that you mentioned that make this game bad, but yet you praise them. Why don't you also crusade to ban the local news since isn't that pretty much all they show on there also?
I don't care that you don't like Take-Two Interactive, or that you don't like the game, or that you think it is too violent (even for consenting adults), or that you want to tell people that you don't like it. All of that is fine and dandy, since you do have the right to speak your mind (for the time being, anyway) and champion any cause you feel worthy. But I do not like people accusing others of being worse than a child molester based only on the fact that they play or have played a particular game. And as a final note, I think you should let people make decisions for themselves what they want to play, or watch, or do. That is what freedom is: The ability to choose for myself based on accountability and consequenses. Not for you to choose for me.
Good day,
