He never says anything remotely intelligent.
It's like a 5 year old is running USA.
But enough about that...

"The relations with, uhh — Europe are important relations, and they've, uhh — because, we do share values. And, they're universal values, they're not American values or, you know — European values, they're universal values. And those values — uhh — being universal, ought to be applied everywhere." —George W. Bush, at a press conference with European Union dignitaries, Washington, D.C., June 20, 2005

"I hope you leave here and walk out and say, 'What did he say?'" —George W. Bush, Beaverton, Oregon, Aug. 13, 2004

The 2nd one really cracked me up

I wouldn't mind living in Canada too. It has been selected as the best country to live in many times. Finland has been in the top 10 many times too .

That's because Canada is almost never involved in war. They're just like quiet upstair neighbors of the US with more moose than people.

However, the republicans are also the ones in power right now, save the lefty-bashing for when they're actually "opressing" you.

Oh, and Bush, morals? Gimme a break, that's just to sell himself to the poor religous types (the ones whom republican policy screw over, but they're convinced that the country is somehow worse off if two men can get married).

That being said, Canada's got a corrupt government too. We just waste money within the country instead of starting moronic wars.
The liberal democrats are worse than anyone. And yeah it is worse off when same sexes get married. It's called deviancy and it will not stand in this country. Massacheusettes doesn't set the standards in america, they provide a view of whats wrong in the world. Hillary Clinton isn't gonna win either, Nobody in their right mind would put a psycho dyke booboo like that in power. Face it the democrats have lost.

Funny, gay marriage is legal in Canada, things don't seem any worse. No apocalyse, no sudden spike in the divorce rate, life sure doesn't seem any different for those of us who aren't homosexual.

Oh, and going on a minor tangent, I found something interesting. As of 2000, four out of the five states with the highest teen pregnancy rates were red states (in the 2000 election). And four of the five states with the lowest teen pregnancy rates were blue states (again, in the 2000 election). Another interesting note is that the odd state out in each case had switched sides in the 2004 election. Massachusetts, by the way, has the 40th highest teen pregnancy rate in the US. Damn, they're unmoral!

Oh, and those unmoral people in Massachusettes? They've also got the lowest divorce rate in the country. How's that for depravity?

And, yeah, I have no opinion on Hilary, I don't know enough about her to say anything either way. Still, it's sad that neither party can put up a good candidate

I wish I was alive at that point in time, because Canada must've been paradise on earth before we got worse.

smh @ another american politics argument

i don't agree with some democratic policies neither do i lean toward the republican party, but president bush's reaction to katrina, proves his incapability to run this country no offense but i think Kerry could have done a much better job. I just have a couple questions for the Bush/republican supporters; Why are we in Iraq??? Why did it take 4 days to send relief to katrina victims??? What happened to Osama???

don't flame, i'm just initiating a stimulating elephant/donkey debate since you guys seem to already be in the heat of things. if you get to aggrivated with comments posted, just simply click a new thread.

Everyone likes to blame the White President when in fact the Black Mayor could have ordered the buses to evacuate the people but didn't. Black people don't rat on other blacks therefore its not the white man's fault alot of urban neighborhoods are sh*tholes. Blame the criminals. Oh yeah your buddy Kanye West, I love this cartoon.

WhereIsTheNsx · Post by **WhereIsTheNsx** » 06 Oct 2005, 08:56

who said anything about race???, leave past post behind, you still haven't answered the question. lol @ you reversing the race card before it was even thrown out. the fact remains that Bush's reaction to katrina was insufficent at best, no matter what the mayor their did or did not do.

ie. stop stereotyping all black people in a category. no offense but, you're begining to sound like a racist to me so drop it.

LOL you are a racist, sh*t. Cut the crap you know its Nagin's fault not Bush's.

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 06 Oct 2005, 16:39

If we were to name everyone who was at fault for what happened with Katrina, we'd be here all day. Hell, I'm probably partially at fault somehow, and I've never even been to Louisiana.

Anyways, four days to react to the aftermath of something we knew was coming? That's pathetic. Maybe Bush just doesn't care anymore now that he doesn't have to worry about relection.

Post by **Morty** » 06 Oct 2005, 18:04

James, calm down. If you really want to force that right wing propaganda on people, then try to do so in civilized language. The only one being racist here is you, so quit it. Final warning.

TheNoobofFerraris · Post by **TheNoobofFerraris** » 06 Oct 2005, 18:56

Some things aren't his fault, but I would say 96% of it is his problem. I do think he is racist but of course he won't admit it. I'm by-racial myself and I heard what they said on the news, BLACK people were left, and some of them died and I believe they left them or forgot them on purpose. This country has more problems then you know about and heck even that I know about.

You may believe the black/white thing is over, but there are many racists out here. I wonder if thye were even other races like japanese, spanish, itilian, white if they would take them. The first few I don't think so, but I bet if they were rich white people they would be out of there in a heartbeat.

I don't know if I make any sense to you people, but I'm just saying whats on my mind.

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 06 Oct 2005, 22:00

So saying bush is not at fault is racist, RIGHT......

No, I'm just saying he isn't the nice guy you think you know.

I'm talking to them. You're cool noob no worries. This response would be acurate since Condolezza Rice isn't soul-sister like.

sorry if you got offened.

Well the blame is being put on bush, wrongly put on him. Remember those couple of hundred flooded buses? Those buses could have transported everyone out the flood zone but Ray Nagin didn't order them to so they sat there and were flooded. I don't mean to offend but alot of black people in rough neighborhoods refuse to tell on the drug dealers and criminals, even if its anonymous. Thats not ratting its defending themselves. Kanye West is part of the hollywood left that will do or say anything to get publicity and naive people believe those lies.

I greatly agree with you there, dude. Bush never was suited for the job of being a President. On both his election and the re-election he cheated on the votes. He never was supposed to be President. For the first four years it should've been Al Gore. Then if he didn't get re-elected it should've been Kerry. Kerry wanted to keep the Social Security thing.

i think its generally accepted that each person has his or her own opinions, so lets respect that shall we and but this topic to rest?

back to the real discussion - scientists have predicted that soon, megacities with evolve due to lack of space. They estimate that cities like New York, Jo'berg, Sydney, Cairo and London will soon become so big that they'll engulf smaller towns around them. Megacities' CBD's would be 50km in diameter and should be able to hold 20million+ pple in total

thats almost the total population of some entire countries...
