Just trying to find out what the majority here on UGN will do and if the movie had any influence on you in any way. | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,136 UGN Elite Poster | UGN Elite Poster Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,136 | I'm voting for myself.

There are plenty of other parties (just sucks that it is so tough for smaller parties aside from those two). Sure, they probably won't get elected, but then atleast you are: 1] Being active instead of just bitching 2] Not voting for someone simply b/c lesser of two evils 3] Helping your party attract attention to issues and making the larger parties deal with themI am a member of the Libertarian Party www.lp.org . Here is a link to their standing on issues THE LINK | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | As I stated in the WoMD thread: Originally posted by Gizmo: And hey, Bush is better than Kerry... Kerry "missed" the vote for supporting our troops who are out of the country, but he magically managed to be available to vote against the Lacy Peterson law (protecing pregnent women from abusive [censored] who like to kill them). | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 Member | Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 | The Lacy Peterson law is retarded. It should have been common sense. You kill 2 people, it's double homicide. Why'd we need a new law for it?

It makes perfect sense if you think of how it works. | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 Member | Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 | Ah, I get it. I still think it should be common sense tho..

Therefore, as we have it now, if the man kills the pregnent woman he is charged with 1 murder for just killing her, it is overlooked that she's pregnent because of how abortions are defined. Therefore in order to go against how abortions work they have to make a new law to cover the pregnent woman case. It may be common sense, but pro-choice people just see it as a restriction on their choice to kill a living thing ... | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 Member | Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 | *grumble* On topic: I'm 15, so obviously I can't vote. I'm sure I'll get some comments from IceMyst about how all teenagers are retarded, but I would vote for Badnarik. I don't support /all/ of the libertarian philosophies, but Kerry is socialist and Bush wastes money.

Any vote for anyone else is a vote against Bush to beat Kerry. Kerry must die... | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 Member | Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 | That's the problem with America. All the [censored] adults are like "Well, they both suck, but I'm gonna vote for the less sucky one!" Can't you just vote for someone you ACTUALLY LIKE.. And then they say that the teenagers are idiots who don't know what they really want.. EDIT: Sorry about the rant, just kind of pissed off..

There are enough people who don't like Bush or Kerry that if they would just vote for who they want we wouldn't have either of them..

Look at it this way: Bush 49% Kerry 49% Other [censored] 1%
See, the other 1% could be the judging factor; in a lot of cases; see the last election... | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 Member | Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 | Kerry's socialist, Bush's Facist, why not vote for someone who won't [censored]-rape you once he's president?
That 1% could be larger if people would just realise that it's possible.

Kerry is sadly the larger [censored] idiot than Bush; and you're acting like bush even has a say in what he does! There are other powers in play than just the president you [censored] retard; you think that our greedy government would leave every decision up to one person? | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,255 Likes: 3 UGN Elite | UGN Elite Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,255 Likes: 3 | Not sure who closed this topic, but it is a good one so I opened it back up.
There are 3 things in this world you can almost assure will bring an argument when talked about.
1.) Sex 2.) Religion 3.) Polotics
This happens to deal with the latter. Lets keep cool heads and disscuss this like we can.
I find the choices to be awful. This is however our(The american peoples)fault. It is possible that one of these independent parties will rise up. May I remind you about an old US political party which held much power, "The Wigs". They are no more so it is possible.
I think the Democratic party has gone to [censored]. It started out as a good idea, but now is backed by every sicko out there. Groups trying to leagalise petofilia go through the democratic party.
The republican party is best if you are a rich white person.
So I find myself stuck with having to find another party. I think most of middle america will soon see this as well. Look at what some of the Democrats are doing these days. Just [censored] wrong. The republicans will run this planet into a new ice age, or masive heat increase. Mostly greed powers this party.
So we have The green party who will never be taken seriously. The libritarian party, they have a better shot.
There is also the commusit party. Didn't work for Russia(True comunissim is awsome on paper but will never work in real life)
I would like to see a non career polotician get in for once. Someone who dosen't have to pay back any debts. But I know if that happened he would never get anything done. He would hit grid lock in congress. So I ask you all, what do you think will fix the system we have going here? | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | I closed it; leave it closed. If you want a debate go to the debate section, not off topic.
None the less heres the standing: RedMage can't get his head out of his [censored] to actually think of the actual choices that we have in front of us. Dashocker is being a little [censored].
If this topic continue's on all we'll see every other post is RedMage stating "well it's common sense" as if we didn't hear him the first [censored] time... | | |
