You and me both. What the fuck. I'm all for the Foley scandal, but now these numbers magically appear 4 weeks before an election, not to mention way out of line with the media coverage of the war.

Dude your party isn't a home team, this isn't a game :P If you read closely what FAB0L0US said: "Im sorry, that just doesnt fit with the media coverage we have recieved of the war." That is exactly why I don't fully trust the U.S. media. I'll trust about 80% of what they're telling me, maybe 90% but I can almost be there are some details they just unanimously withold from us in order to not cause turmoil or political unrest.
I don't just bash FOX of witholding information, I think all U.S. media and all media over the world (Al Jazeera anyone?) does it to some extent. I'd say the BBC is a bit less restricted when it comes to giving out the full scoop, maybe about (96% of the details) then there's national public radio which is also known for laying out facts and keeping political spin out of the news as much as possible.

What of healthcare? Canada is known for having a healthcare system which is truly affordable because the government purchases massive amounts of medication for the whole country in bulk. THe downside? It takes too damned long to get an emergency attended to! So if you're hemorraging you better hold your head because it might be a while before you recieve medical attention.

Nah I'm not on the side of 50/50 everything, I agree with you there, even though we might be at each other's necks in the British Journalist topic, lol. See, the law of moderation states, everything must be done in moderation, even moderation itself. So you can't be just completely 50/50 on everything, you have to deviate from the center at times in order to strike a compromize, and even some rare instances may require a forceful approach just not always.

Dude just to say hatred is never uncalled for, is in itself uncalled for.

Btw I'm with o-r-i-g-i-n-a-l on this one. This is exactly the same reason Leonard Peltier is in prison, tampering with evidence. Just as the military reportedly tampered with the first 15 mins of the tape, the CIA reportedly tampered with Peltier's AK47 and the ballistics in the evidence to make it look as if he show the CIA officers. You think o-r-i-g-i-n-a-l and I come off as if we believe what ever the media, documentaries or articles spout to us, while you (cellardoor and bandit byte) come off as overly-pariotic monkeys who eat everything your infallible country spoon-feeds you.

In short: there's just no winning against you two, or against us by the same token :/ kinda stale-mate-ish.

Pssh, he's smarter than your candidate

Perhaps, but will he apply said "smartness" to good or evil practices? Knowing you, I think he'll go for the latter if he was a perfect match.

As has been said before, balance is essential. You can't have a complete sytem of either, but why not take the best elements of each system and make them work together.

Mission accomplished then. It's a tired stereotype of the Mormon polygamy obviously. I hear people talk about illegal immigrants and border-hopping in these forums all the time, I don't take it to heart because I can care less of their tired latin-american and Mexican stereotypes.

Dude, BeFell is a perfect match for you. I mean think about it, he's not turned on by hippies and he's Mormon, so there's room for one more :D

Speaking of which, where is that guy, I haven't seen him in ages... it's no fun taking short jabs at him if he's not around to respond :\

It could be argued that still applies to the presend day because there is a scarce middle class in the U.S. and the upper class has only gotten higher-up while the lower-class has gotten larger, and lower down. I see it personally too. On the way to work I see more and more homeless people than in 2003.

Anywho, well Schmoe isn't exactly running for office.
http://en.wikipedia...wiki/Thomas_Karlsson

I derived some positions for Joe Schmoe based on that guy, lol. Anyway, I don't really find his views appealing but I was just using them to poiunt out how ridiculous the thread-starter's argument was :P thanks for playing along though

Yes but you're mixing up a person with a person's actions. You're going to say "what's the difference" and I'll tell you actions are something which can be done by any person therefor making every person equal >:/ some other guy could have croc hunted and for all you know Steve Irwin could have made some bad decisions as a young guy, ended up a druggie because drugs were being flushed into his neighborhood and have never amounted to anything more than a bum.

I would also appear you have your definition of communism somewhat twisted. Communism isn't set in stone, it has its varieties including, but not limited to: "Maoism, Trotskyism, council communism, Luxemburgism, anarchist communism, Christian communism, and various currents of left communism," so the same could be said about Democracy not being set in stone and the U.S. democracy not being a true democracy because we have a USELESS ELECTORAL COLLEGE which underminds the popular vote, which is what democracy is based on!

All men should be left to fend for themselves as they did in the primordial days of true freedom from all relative morals, laws and religion.

Let me give you an example of what you did here with a fictitious candidate (Joe Schmoe).

Schmoe says he's a man's man and he's all for guns so he's going to be gun-toting on purpose just to get NRA members and firearms owners and all macho and/or rich men to vote for him.

2. Schmoe says he's part of the Dragon Rouge black arts cult and when the world ends in 2012 the red dragon will be reborn and fly high in the sky and burn the world in the cleansing flames of Sorath! And those who are not with the dragon will be turned to ashes.

That's why you shouldn't vote for Joe Schmoe. :D

Dude that sucks, have some respect for the dead. The same goes for the previous moron trying to say the homeless have little value. Not all homeless are that way by choice you know.

Anyway, I saw a brief talk on CNN about the high death toll. CNN is mainly focused on the plane crash in NY right now so they didn't go into detail about it. All they said was Bush and the Iraqi government are questioning the exact accuracy of those figures.

Whatever the exact figures may be, there's no denying they're high as heck. I'll say high is... I dunno 500,000.

Sweet. I just get curious when on wikipedia and end up opening everything I don't know in a new window x.x

I've heard people in support of communism say time and time again Fidel castro is wrong, doesn't belong where he is, and Che Guevara had the right idea for communism. It's a shame he died though, the world will never know.

Dude hybrids aren't all that fuel-efficient. When you put your foot down on the throttle you're running on fuel rather than on electricity so you're still wasting gas. If you really want an economic form of transportation, try a crotch-rocket/motorcycle.
