    Sorry, I realize that. I just get very, very "into" things like this. I even have my own country at Nation States. I had to post the above though...

    BTW, I voted for Stephen Colbert ;).

    This is a good example of one of my countries; The Republic of Political Peoples
    Here is a...umm...other example: The Federation of Trans-Socialist Power

    Please note that these are not necessarily my point of view on a government ;)

    Well, it was an opinion, based on the fact that I believe he was a bit more... preoccupied... with another agenda. I strongly believe however that she was his backbone as a president, and I think she would do well on her own as a president.

    What I still have to wonder is... would that make Bill the First Lady?

    o.O;;

    :haha:

    I understand, I see where you were coming from.

    Haha.. i was going to vote for him but i had to vote for Obama. I love Colbert, i probably would vote for him if he ran.

    I honestly don't follow politics well enough to debate about them anyway. I don't even know who Obama or Stephen Colbert are. >_x;

    I guess that explains your Clinton theory ;)

    Doesn't it though? Haha. I do know a few facts about his presidency... but I stray away from politics. It's all slander. Let's all be communists!

    ...just kidding. Communism never works. There will always be people fighting for power.

    Socialism, the government formation, under which communism is classified, looks very, very good on paper (I don't know about Marxism though, I read about it but it was very confusing). Everything is equal, and whatnot, but it has been proven not to work after the downfall of the USSR (Not Russia, Russia fell in 1917 and was re-founded in 1991). The only exception is China, and they still battle constant problems with censoring. Just look at North Korea and Cuba, just look at their economies, the quality of life there, and other factors that are considered when judging a country. Sorry for writing so much, I just love politics...

    BTW, you shouldn't say something like that in such neglect, I'm sure you would never say that to my Russian friend would you?

    I meant no harm in what I said. And I definately didn't mean it in neglect.
    I apologize if I offended you in any way... Just making a harmless joke.

    Anyone watching the state of the union address? Pretty funny to see the faces on the Democrats when Bush says something like "we will balance the federal debt". "We will fix Medicare and save social security". That's what hes been saying for 6 years now. It's horrible, they should ban clapping, plus it makes it like 2 hours longer.

    I commend you for putting fourth the question. But historically you forgot Mickey Mouse.

    I'm watching it, and George has a lot of good points. I'm neither a democrat nor a republican (I feel that I still need time to find out). There is a lot of good I could say about the USA's Figurehead, and there is some bad too. We can't judge a president until about 20-25 years after he leaves office anyway.
  13. twite TechSpot Paladin Posts: 1,083

    I completely agree, he has some excellent points, but it doesn't mean he will go through with them.

    Thats if the world still exists then ~nuclear winter~ "cough"

    Lol, did anyone notice (my) Senior Senator Ted Kennedy nod off? Was it just me? After a minute he touched his glasses but was still looking down like he was sleeping. It seemed too low for him to be reading as well.
  15. twite TechSpot Paladin Posts: 1,083

    Haha..I didn't notice it, but a alot of people were doing some weird stuff. Cheney kept on bending over for some reason, and Mccain and Rice looked like they were daydreaming.
  16. cfitzarl TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 2,521   +9

    I noticed Cheney doing that too. Condoleezza kept frowning, and some others were doing the same.
  17. twite TechSpot Paladin Posts: 1,083

    I still can't get over how ridiculous it is that they clap every time he says something. It gets so annoying.

    What irritates me is I felt like I paid more attention to the speech than anyone that was there in person. We elected a lot of those people, why the hell can't they pay attention for LESS THAN 1 HOUR, it not even a continous hour, they get applause breaks. Every one of them that screwed around or daydreamed during that speech needs to be kicked in the nuts and or removed from office.
  19. twite TechSpot Paladin Posts: 1,083

    So true.

    lol..i would love to see that happen

    Whata bout condo rice
  20. SNGX1275 TS Special Forces Posts: 11,917   +119

    She and Cheney probably get a little leeway because they likely had direct input on the speech and knew every word he was going to say. But those elected people out there in the audience...
