to all the posts about Bush...

well said James

It's not entirely clear what you are trying to get at here. It's not really much of an argument, but more of an empty assertion/claim.

as has been just about every statement about president Bush made here.

and about people who arent american, as far as i know, the US has not invaded canada.

No really James, I liked your post. Some actual facts and real thought put into it. Not like 'God hates bush!' and that annoying Bush arrested thread where people were glorifing the idea that bush be assasinated among other things. I'd rather just stay completely away from politics all together, i just got sick of all the childish statements, which i made in my post, and i apologise for those.

look, i really dont care who anyone supports. its not gonna make me think differently of a person, just keep stupid pot shots at people out of the general forum, make a political forum and keep it in there. thats all that i ask. not to hard to go into phpBB admin and create a new forum, and limit it to people who ask for access.

and yes CiK, that would be a much more interesting topic.

I dont agree with what you are saying. But I will defend to the death your right to say it. That is american ideals at work.

But I happen to think the USA has lost its values in many places. We value the wrong things above our friends and family. We value religion over common sense. It's despicable. Bush won because we have a lot of people down south especially who like seeing arabian bodies on TV. People who are too trusting of the media and its information. etc etc I could go on forever but I digress from my point.


You love america. Fine. Obey the constiution and let us voice our opinion. We dont need your oppression on free thought.


(this is not a taunt or an insult just a friendly reminder)

yessiree, we southerners love seeing those arabs being blown up on our majik boxes.

no opression, just mad about silliness taken too far. if you wanted to argue in an intellegent fashion like James did, fine, i'll still ignore it to the best of my abilities, but it would be better.

i'm done now though. i will never voice my opinion again because apparently its oppressive. and you will forever be right it my eyes. anyway, this is a tech forum for crying out loud. go back to doing hardware reviews and tech news. thats all i care about here, if i wanted to see politcal crap i'd go find it elsewhere.

This whole thread is useless. There is nothing we can say or do to change what has happened. Its all a bunch of "What If's" and If you can't make good with what has been brought before you in the present then you will be doomed to repeat the past.

Its over this thread cannot change what has already happened.

There was no rigging done, nor anything to imply that there was. It was a close race and everyone knew that's how it was going to be from polls. Also, Bush won both the popular vote and the electoral college vote, altering the facts doesn't make it very easy to align with you.

cherrypie, you seem to be one of the ones who should be saying the least about the matter, yet all I see from you is Bush-bashing. You don't like him, and I think most of us have gotten that picture by now. Also, if your country feels so strongly against stuff going on in the U.S., don't deal with us!

James... about the U.S. having a long history of prejudice, we are the ones who broke past most forms of institutionalized prejudice in the Western world, paving a way for others. You are absolutely right about redistricting; it should be illegal.

Dragon, I know it's none of my business, but I'd just like to say I don't like how religion played into this vote. Even though we all know that Church and State are really not separate in practice, I feel it should at least be in the background. I noticed a lot of Bush supporters liked Bush because of religious affiliation and not necessarily because of policy. It's not clear to me how that makes for good governing.

Overall, I think Aemon's right. If we are helping someone choose between an X800XT and a 6800 Ultra, we should be talking about Z-Buffer compression and vertex shader pipelines, not Bush/Kerry bashing.

One last thing. STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT WHO I VOTED FOR! All Bush fans think they have me figured out and tell me they can't believe I voted for Kerry, and all Kerry fans are certain that I filled out about 5 ballots voting for Bush. I'm not telling anyone who I voted for because I feel that we are generally too open with who we are going to vote for and who we voted for, because that leads to other voting problems, such as redistricting (I know that's supposed to actually be just based on political party status, but you get the point).

I LIKE BUSH!

I LIKE BUSH!

I LIKE BUSH!


Shazbot!!! I'm in the wrong thread again! Maybe even on the wrong website.
