I'm just saying I don't see how its less illegal to wipe out an entire culture than jump a couple of fences. But whatever.

If the Democrats win, global warming becomes required curriculum in all schools and you have to believe in it to graduate.

If the Republicans win, we become a theocracy.

It's like AVP: Whoever wins...we lose.

Because they Native Americans didn't have laws concerning imperialism? I'm not saying it's right, but you were debating the legality. Also, for fuck's sake, don't enforce stereotypes.

 ::) We believed in 'Global Warming' way before Al Gore ever show up, my big town, or small city whatever suits you better, has recycling since...i dunno 2000? We don't have scientists saying it isn't happening or it's wrong or whatever. There's a great program here, if you produce more energy than the one you consume with clean energies, like photovoltaic or wind or whatever, you can sell it back to energy producers. It's estimated you take 30 years alone with small home-production to profit from the costs, but now government pays you to have clean source, takes between 2 to 10 years. This program came to life because self-production buildings that had solar panels on to of it had excess of energy, as you can see, even capitalists win with ecology, allot of stories about guys that bought allot of gadgets for clean energy and are profiting by selling it back to the energy company. Do you have any of this sort of thing in USA?

Ryaz i see, as i said, USA is mainly right wing, plus there's no left wing, mostly teased at and called "commies", for myro in example, a sort-of-capitalist socialism is communism all the way, and even more interesting, it's compared to fascist dictatorships like Stalin's, filled with bureaucracy. Actually i believe there can be achieved a short level of bureaucracy directly from socialism and not right wingers, specially monarchies. In example, in Portugal we have the Simplex program, it erases every waste of bureaucracy and shorts the path to anything, like creating a company can be done by Internet, Citizenship Card is a near future that will join ID, Health card and all the other cards in 1, including driving license. And it's a socialist party, clearly away from right wing, but with large difficulty in achieving socialist goals over workers in general.

Ryaz, I do vote libertarian.  The fact that gas rates have been allowed to climb to obscene amounts, no more jobs, the cost of housing skyrocketing and financial aid drying up in the richest country in the world is screwing me and the american people over.  I didn't vote for anyone that is holding office, so how did I screw myself over?

To the people who were supporting Hillary and are against the war, keep in mind that she voted for starting the war in the first place. Then she's wanting to cut the number of candidates in elections as well...

She's also one of those Lobbyist Hags...

I've got an idea, why don't we make a poll near the elections, everyone could vote, foreigners, underage, anyone.

I am, but the selection is pretty crappy as usual.  It comes down to the least of all evils.

To the people who were supporting Hillary and are against the war, keep in mind that she voted for starting the war in the first place. Then she's wanting to cut the number of candidates in elections as well...

She's also one of those Lobbyist Hags...

You get that with every candidate, though.  All of them cater to certain lobbies and will continue to do so if they're elected.  That's just the nature of politics here.

Gallipoli-China now you know why I get so mad when I hear "if you vote for a 3rd party, you're just throwing your vote away".  If people did vote for others, we would have a 3 party(or more) system going.

Oh for the days of Henry Wallace.

Note that I mention Henry Wallace and not the racist fucktard George Wallace.
