    Re: What if McCain actually wins??

    i live in the burbs.

    i honestly am praying for some serious shit. assinations, bombings, etc. maybe someone will wake up. soddom/gommorra type shit.

    obama presidency should kick off in style. stupidity reigns supreme as evidenced by the last year. the only thing worse would be a mccain win.

    I think this is kinda a hair-splitting semantic thing. Tolerance, acceptance, pot-A-to, pot-aa-to. Race relations are still not where they should be, but it isn't the difference between these two words, it's the difference between viewing one another as part of a whole or as separate cultures that have been foisted upon one another. Do I look at my neighbor as "the black guy that lives next door" or "Charles?" It makes a difference, and that's the goal, regardless of whether you call it tolerance, acceptance, whatever.

    hey man no biggie.. like I said I love it when we get way off topic because people love to nit pic what was an example and turn it into a fighting argument about how they aren't a racist. So far in this thread people probably think I am pro McCain (which i'm not) and a racist (which i'm not). The very idea that if you bring up race you are a racist is the stupidest thing i have ever heard.

    Do you guys know that Detroit is still to this day trying to put the pieces back together after that riot?? That is why Detroit is still so fucked up because nobody wants to bring business there in case the joint gets burned down again.

    I read that article runningman. So based on that article, you've come to that conclusion, that you get diversity and we don't? Sorry dude, not buying it. I have numerous living examples of diversity right here in the states, hey I know one, ever hear of New York City? That article is however very commendable, and awesome, but if you're using that to claim Canada is the beacon of diversified living, and because of that, you have this worldly grasp on diversity that we don't have down here, then i have to lol a little bit. The mere size of our population trumps it. Not dogging Canada or that article tho, im just sayin. You don't know Toasty, or me, or any of us down here really, so pulling that article out of your pocket like a trump card is just silly.

    same here. we're actually minorities in stlouis, white people, and the thought of "what is going to happen if obama loses" never crossed my mind. I think living in a city like this makes people from all races much more tolerant of each other. i dig it.
    Tolerance is the problem. Sure you can "tolerate" something but once shit starts to hit the fan, you go back to your roots and only care for people that are like you,

    Acceptance is where we need to be and in this day and age, that surely is not going on. who the hell knows when that will happen. its been 40 years since MLKJr. and it still hasnt happened. =\

    i think you said something racist because to me, you implied racism. if you didn't mean to, then maybe you should have thought about it first.

    funny you say boy toy obama... i am voting for him yes because i do not want mccain palin, but that doesn't mean i am all for obama and in some cases i'm not. i think mccain is ok, but palin is the problem for me and putting her to near the white house i think would be a horrible idea.

    i also think you are confused about your taxes. my taxes won't go up. mine will go down. i don't make more than 200,000 a year. i own a house and my taxes on that would be fine also. but thats not the most important thing to me. the most important thing to me is the protection of females and thier bodies, and that is something that mccain/ palin and i completely disagree on. this is one of my my principles in life. i want protection for my people. my female people included.

    i am pro choice. and pro a lot of other things most americans won't be. like pro-prostitution and pro-porn. i'm also pro-birth control and pro-gay rights. pro-environment and pro-people.
    me and you are on the same page, i agree with you 100%.

    McCain is not the problem for me, its Palin. She, to me, is equal to Hitler. She is Hitler in drag in my opinion. Her even being considered for vice-president is a complete atrocity.

    if mccain wins nothing will change. we've got wars on deck, in the hole, and the old soldier's going to keep waging. the rich will keep getting policy passed to "create more wealth" as mcpalin puts it. and health care will still boil down to 'go get your own.' the vice will expand power of their office further to help cronies.

    just like now. you've only got to worry if you don't like where the us is now.

McCain would have that crazy jingoist sentiment that Bush worked so well whipped up in one media cycle.

    One of my greatest hopes is that when Obama speaks of "undoing the mistakes of the last eight years", he secretly specifically means things like the Patriot Act, and all the other baby steps we've taken towards becoming a modern police state. I'm also looking forward to seeing him work with senators like Russ Feingold and Al Franken (cross my fingers), who are both openly critical of the Patriot Act.
    goes to show what you know. So you even know what the Patriot Act is and what "PATRIOT" stands for. Here you go.



    Is was carefully crafted so it spells out Patriot so yuppies like yourself get caught up in the wording.
