By the way. The information from the newspaper is 100% unbiased. That does not include my own opinions and comments tossed into the post.
You guys know what the funny thing is? Today I was walking across my university campus and I looked over at the booth where the school newspaper is stacked, and lo and behold the title page: 'Governator' for President in '08? I was pretty surprised to see it on the front page of the school newspaper, and lo and behold one of the first thing it mentions is Stalone's movie Demolition Man which came out over a decade ago, and even better, it mentions when Stallone points to the "Schwarzenegger Presidential Library." The funny thing is that such a thing was satirical, but now it seems like more of a prognostication.
The paper goes to mention that a study conducted by Princeton shows that Republicans have honed in on Schwarzenegger to be one of the most "attractive" candidates for the 2008 election. Well it's good to see the Republican party selects their candidates on the crucial factor of attractiveness... I feel like hurling my dinner right now and flush it down the toilet allong with the political wisdom the U.S. had.
Although Schwarzenegger has never admitted to even thinking about pursuing the presidency, he did mention in an interview with Newsweek that "Anyone who has been a citizen for at least 20 years should absolutely be able to seek the presidency." With that said, this july a Utah senator by the name of Orrin Hatch created and introduced what he hopes will become the 28th ammendment which indeed allow people who have been citizens of the U.S. for a period of at least 20 years to run for presidency. Funny enough, Schwarzenegger has a long-standing relationship with the senator and has been a "fund-raising helper" to the senator in past re-election campaigns.
The amendment has now recieved bicameral sponsorship (from both parties) and stands a good cahnce of going to the states, thirty-eight of which would need to vote for it for ratification. In a movie by the name of Pumping Iron Schwarzenegger speaks about admiring dictators and very powerful people who are remembered for hundreds, upon thousands of years. Similarly in another movie titled Raw Iron he tells of another dream: "Me being a king and standing on top of a mountain and there was no room left for anybody else up there, o.k.? Just for me." Methinks Mr. Schwarzenegger is having visions of megalomania.
The information here was taken from the unbiased California State University of Los Angeles University Times campus newspaper. Thank you for allowing me to post it here, and I hope it fuels further interest in this topic.
Yes. They should violate our right to free speech... *obvious sarcasm*.

Foamy complains too much... way too much. Sometimes even about things that are pointless to complain about. I do like his rave on people who are always on cell phones though.
No global stuff plz, the christians will be all over you for that one lol.
A library? Nah, I think we'd just name a kindergarten after him...

Wardrobe malfunction? Kk Ms. Janet Jackson. Wardrobe malfunction is such a gay thing to say... well it is... I've never heard a straight person use the term, unless it's to mock someone. I might be wrong (wouldn't surprise me) but it just strikes me as a very eccentric/trendy thing to say and lo and behold all the gay ppl I know are somewhat eccentric in their ways and trendy.

Majority rules :P
Yes I do mean any sort of political position which can run from Mayor to district attorney, from senator to representative, from governor to president.
I agree with you there, if the person has been a citizen for quite some time and such.
So long as you're a responsible person who cares about your country, you'll vote. The only reason some people might not want to vote is if they could care less about the candidates.
Well the issue isn't whether he can talk right or not I mean... look at Bush? Can't even say Nuclear right, he says nukular, plus he has like 3 different ways to say "Iraq" but anyway, the issue here is, should foreign citizens be allowed to hold positions. And the second issue is, should Arnold? Frankly I don't see him as being too good of a politician, at least not from my vantage point, I'm getting hit hard with financial reprecussions trying to help him balance the state budget.
<.< offend much? Well at least she can't say anything about my flexin' frog.
Just a few minutes ago I heard on the news of a group of students in southern California trying to push for the federal government to change the law prohibiting foreign citizens from holding a position in office such as Governor or President. The reason the students want to alter the law is to allow Arnold the Terminator to run for president of the United States. Even funnier, is the fact that these people are students... and even some college students from UCLA. It shames me to want to go to UCLA now :/ knowing that students from there are pushing for such a thing, yet tuitions all across the state of California are skyrocketing because of Schwarzenegger's plan to "balance the budget."
Just curious, what are your thoughts on repealing the law forbidding foreign citizens such as Arnold from holding office?
First off, I don't drink beer, so don't even look in my dirrection. I'm not saying you were specifically adressing me, but I just want to make sure I'm ruled out of your little pompous comment because all I drink is good-tasting hard liquor like Grand Marnier, Tequila Patron Anejo, and Bacardi with Lemon. I do ocassion the wine every now and then, considering I handle lots of it at work. A chardonnay goes down pretty well, I'm not very particular to the red cabernet suavignon, it leaves a bad after taste, as does the merlot, but the pinot grigio is pretty damn good above all.
Well BeFell I'm paying for my college, and I do have a job. Eventhough I still live with my folks, it's way cheaper, I'll move out in two years or so. But anyway, my pops hasn't tried whippin' my butt lately, I don't think I've pissed him off enough to merit an ass-whuppin', I haven't gotten one since I was 15, I don't smoke, never have, never will, I don't have any addictions other than the occasional videogame, and I seldom drink, and when I do, I do it responsibly, so yes, it has made me a better person.

Bush is not the greatest impromptu speaker in the world but he will still win because he is the better man for the job. We need to give this pres a chance to finish what he started and not give it to somebody who's going to proceed half-assed and ruin everything. Kerry flip flops his opinions every 5 minutes and he can't be trusted to run the USA.
First off, thank you Will124 for clearing that up.
Now, soccerandchess personage... you sound a lot like George W. Bush... a broken record "he flip flops" ... he flip flops... he flip flops... shut the fuck up already (pardon my German). Bush was saying that the whole damn night and that was all the fucking had to defend himself, it's shameful to watch how bad he got his ass handed to him. Next off, I would much rather trust a guy with flexible opinions than a complete f*ing moron.
I don't get it proof but... I'd let George Bush live, we need someone to laugh at.

You tell em'.
Anyway, imagine if they were alive now to see the games we have (and have had before and up to) today. If they had stuck around for Grant Theft Auto 3, Vice City and San Andreas, State of Emergency, Unreal Tournament, Counterstrike, Halo... more importantly Halo 2. Ah well they missed out with their drama-filled, teen (i can't get laid because I'm undeconfident) angst.
And BeFell don't blame everything on hippies, regardless of what people said about phisically disciplining your kids, my dad still didn't hesitate to break out the leather belt and lay a couple swift smacks on me.
What kind of beers Venom?

The legal drinking age in England is 18. I myself have been drinking steadily, not bingeing every night, since I turned 15. All this about the liver is just propaganda, to stop the people who say that the drinking age is too high and those who enjoy binge drinking.
The legal drinking age in many countries of the world such as New Zealand, Israel, England, Mexico, is 18 (at least to my knowledge), however, that is only because at the age of 18 you are an adult, and you can make your own decisions, even if those decisions include stunting your liver's growth process. If you've been drinking steadily since the age of 15 good for you, so long as you don't drive buzzed or drunk and you do it responsibliy. Only time will tell if you will develop any sort of problems because of drinking. Personally, I wouldn't risk it. I only drink what tastes good... and it's a small list of alcohol.
The reason as to why the 21 age requirement for drinking was placed is because after extensive medical research, doctors concluded that your liver (the organ that processes alcohol) stops developing at age 21. If you were to drink before your liver stopped it's development phase, you could cause irreparable damage to it and grow up to have a busted liver when you're older and... the last time I heard... after the brain and heart... the liver comes next in line under importance.

You mean Dick Cheney? God let's hope not! Keep your fingers crossed.
Someone hasn't been studying their U.S. Geography... or at least they've been falling asleep in class and drooling over their textbooks.
If you are saying this in refernce to the debate, yes, he made long pauses and somewhat bewildered facial expressions, in other words, he was clueless on some things, which is why it took him a good few seconds of deep thought to come up with mediocre, repetitive answers. All kerry did was laugh and shake off whatever Bush threw at him. Bush better come better-equipped for the next debate if he expects to win. Personally I don't think Bush has the mental capacity or training to be able to make sound arguments all on his own.
Let's hope so. It wouldn't surprise me if the Christian people come around with their talk of the Apocalypse being upon us though. They're probably going to say such a form of payment is a sign of the 666 or something, I know it damnit I was raised in the religion, they're just waiting for something like this to come about -.- so much drama.
Some stores are considering adopting a form of payment that involves a person placing one of their fingers on a scanner that detects 40 specific "unique" features of a person's fingerprint, accessing their bank account and drawing funds from it to make the payment, no I.D, no cards, no signature, and no check required. Is this a sign of things to come? Is this "convenience" good? Or does it make it easier to have identity theft?
What if a person were to make a false sinthetic fingerprint and adhered it to their own finger and payed with your fingerprint? No I.D. or anything necessary, very easy to fraud people. This reminds me of Gattaca, how things can be done with a finger, if you haven't seen Gattaca, go check it out, it's sure to entertain you and you'll know what I'm talking about.
But anyway, I don't want to sound paranoid or anything, but the whole fingerprint pay service thing sounds like bad news when you consider the risks.
Don't rule out that people might alter such polls purposely to get you to think in such a manner that it's ok to name teams after ethnicities, but anyway, whether they did or not is going somewhere else now. All I do know is that although they aren't offended by the Redskins team, they are offended by Chief Illini mascot of the University of Illinois. I saw a whole video documentary on it at school, and there were plenty of offended natives in the showing.
The reason (clearly stated in the movie) as to why they took offense was because the mascot was a white guy dressed up as a fake chief (which is a sacred position in their culture) and doing a mockery of an indian dance (which is also sacred to them). I don't know if they do this in the redskins, I don't see their games but it would seem as if they don't if they don't have a problem with that team. What offends them is what makes a mockery of what is holy to them.
Bakomusha... if you are Japanese and can not write english well then disregard everything I am about to say.
Take some spelling classes... seriously, you need to learn how to write bad dude, I had to read some sentences around three times over so I could get a vague idea of what you were trying to say, and I'm not sure as to what this has to do with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki so... I don't even know, what you said seems pretty irrelevant to the title of this topic. So Mr. Vash the Stampede, go work on your writing skills and try to be more clear on your burning political issue you are posting here.
Seth said these things were censored and they truly were. Were is a past-tense word. If they were censored it means that the government did not want people to know about them at the current time, until now, that is how Seth got a hold of them, don't try to be Bush-supporting smart-asses asking questions that can be answered by an 8 year old such as "how did you get a hold of them?" because now they're available, after what happened came to pass, but that shouldn't suggest that what did happen wasn't disturbing. It's of no surprise to me, when you read into it, it gets ugly, that's what I mean by "doing your homework" reading into things. Frankly, despite of all this, I still don't know why some people support Bush... oh wait yeah I do lol, they don't know, or they think it's all fake and their president is flawless.
They would much rather vote for a man who hasn't done a single good thing for this country and sling mud at the man running against him why? because of his public image? That's all I hear from anti-John Kerry people, about him having a bad image and talking smack, is that all it comes down to, his image? Don't people care about the issues? Don't people notice that Bush hasn't done a damn good thing for this country except lead us into war and fail to find Osama, and get people captured by terrorist groups and beheaded on television? This president and the administration make me sick.
