@Karon: As if Obama were qualified in the first place? Don't tell me that you actually believe that?

And besides, he's not even a natural-born US Citizen...

As for not being white, it entitles me to deflect the race card when it's brought up spuriously. If you're not white, you'd understand.



Drinking? It's a little bit early for that where I live. But I intend to have a little something later, definitely.

Maybe not, but he was a hell of a lot better than John "Pervy" Mccain and his partner Sarah "Dumbass" Palin.

I voted for obama because of Biden anyways.

Wait wait wait you voted FOR BIDEN?

Hey you know what i think, I liked Mcain way more than Obama.. but then he picked a spastic for a VP.

I'm actually considering getting into local politics, partially spurred by a recent scandal with expenses (For example, one MLA expensed a 730 dollar espresso machine..Ok, us Canadians have smaller scandals than everyone else). However, the other employees at the grocery store where I work all seem to have stopped caring (and voting) a long time ago. There are idiots out there to be sure, but in my experience they are a VERY vocal minority.

The "average person" is perfectly intelligent, but uneducated, and this seems to lead to a feeling of powerlessness against the world (Malcom Gladwell called it "entitlement" in his book Outliers). What we really need to do is get people to

A) Feel entitled to help run the world

B) Try to defend their position's on issues, without getting overzealous (as in, learn how to intelligently debate an issue, and accept defeat when necessary).

Working Class Canadians aren't stupid, and I highly doubt that Americans are either.

And if I ever make a "Level-of-debate-o-meter" Palin is going to be on the low end right above "Scientologist." Changey-Hopey my ass, use words and ideas damn you.

My mom told me I couldn't be a politician. Says I'm not good at lying.

Can you lie nintendoeats, can you?

I blame lack of civilians with guns or access to them.

This is the problem: In my research I wound up at the "socialist party of canada" website.

Good luck with that one -_-
