Do Europeans have no farms or do they all just hang out in bad technobars from the 80s drinking and smoking bad cigarettes like their stereotypes of them that are popular in the US? Funny stuff.
Don't knock German techo. IMO, German techo is probably the greatest thing the Germans have given the world, that and the ability to max out on Panther Tanks in a late war Flames of war army!
That being said, no insult was intended against our American cousins. The video just made me laugh. Living in a city, I don't get to see many things with four legs.

I love how certain individuals on dakka can admit in print that they are consciously not trying to add anything constructive to a discusssion and are in fact intentionally attacking others and yet their posts are allowed to stand and the poster allowed to continue to troll away...

True. They are slacking.
Why, they haven't deleted your post as off topic spam!

To make matters worse, Romney has a much higher approval rating in the southern states than Obama enjoys in other states.
So the question is how those polls got their numbers. If they are a random sampling of X voters from across the US, then thats great news for Obama, as when you factor in "The Solid South", then Obama should have an edge in swing states.
If those are only polls from the swing states this year, then its really good news for Romney.
If those polls grabbed the percentage of people from each state as to the states corrosponding electoral vote count, then its good news for Romney.
So really, how you make your poll can dramatically alter not only its results but also who its favoring.

Seriously. I'm a straight male who can pass for white pretty easily, lives well above the poverty line and is in a (comparatively), safe career. I am pretty well insulated from the damage that could be done with president Romney + republican congress. Tons of other people though, have their rights on the line. For those folks a Romney win could be something they're going to remember and feel the impact from for decades.
EDIT: Not that president Romney would be terribly beneficial to me either, it's really a wash with both candidates in terms of how it'll affect my day to day life.

I'm working on a thesis that the, "If X wins the election, I'm leaving the country," statement has been made in every election since Washington took office.

I didn't see this thread until now.. It wasn't as good as the Biden Debate. Both of them restated the same drivel and made the sam, boring objections to each other.
I wish Phoenix Wright and Edgeworth were real.

If Romney wins (he won't), I would expect robbery-theft crime rates to soar.

The damage that a Romney + Republican congress is about the same as we saw from 2008 to 2010.
You would have democrats filibustering every crazy bill that came across the plate. Romney, like Obama, would need to have 60 votes to do anything. As we saw before, its hard to get a 6/10 majority to do anything.

It's actually much harder to 'pack up and move to another country' that one might think. Unless you already enjoy dual citizenship, you will need to worry about a job, work permits, etc..

It's much easier if your spouse holds citizenship in the country to which you want to move.
However it is fairly easy for a US citizen to get a visa to the UK as long as you have good job-worthy skills. For starters there is no language barrier.
I'd be naturally more inclined to stick it out; Chongara's echoing my thoughts (though I'm white). She's been wanting to move back to Europe for a while, though, and it'd be one more argument in support.
And yeah, people who talk trivially about leaving the country after an election are silly.

What, that her preferred candidate lost?
Or was she one of the many living in the camps during the Bush years? I mean, don't get me wrong, I believe people wake up every morning with an instinctive feel for which party is in power, and there are thousands upon thousands of indications when you walk through the streets whether it's an enlightened Democrat or a totalitarian Republican - you're actually allowed to walk through the streets of your city under a Democrat, for one, as opposed to being ferried to the Republican pepper mines - but...
Actually, come to think of it, I have noticed zero difference in my day-to-day between administrations.

It's not just about one candidate; the candidates we have are indicative of bigger problems with the country.

No, she's not from Iraq.

Ignorant people supporting their team without paying attention to policy aren't really a partisan issue. They're more of a univeral problem, exacerbated by the crappy way our news media covers politics.

If you think they're a bigger population on the Obama side than the Romney side, you're just exemplifying the problem.
I do it sometimes too.
