The World Right Now Options

[pysex]

Democrats continue to make issues out of nothing. Republicans continue to make issues out of issues.


Realize that our political system is fucked and what happens in our government REALLY DOES AFFECT THE REST OF THE WORLD.

So therefore....WORLD = FUCKED

i see conservatives hating on and screaming about illegal immigrants and gays. so then why are they being so negative. do they hate americans and are racists?

I bolded the important word there for ya, since you did actually say it. And yes you're right conservatives tend to think negatively towards gays. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that most of them feel it's morally wrong. But again, you're not addressing what I said. I said liberals tend to think very negatively of everything that goes on in this country. You guys still have not denied this and seem to only come back with "well conservatives blah blah blah". Bottom line: liberals are insanely more negative about issues than conservatives.

i dont think many people are flocking to america for healthcare.

Then you would be wrong. People come here from their socialist healthcare systems because they can't choose their doctor, end up with a shitty govt paid doctor, or will have to wait six months to get a wart removed.

most americans cant afford healthcare here.

Completely taken out of your ass. You really mean to tell me that 51%+ of americans can't afford healthcare. BS.

in most countries its practically free.

Yeah, if you consider 50% income taxes "practically free". But then again you libs do sway a little socialist so I guess you would think about it that way.

if you want highly specialized care and have money, you come to america. thats not most people

Again taken completely out of your ass. Healthcare that's not highly specialized isn't expensive in the first place.

in your mind america is perfect, not in many other peoples. even republicans. not everyone is going to blindly love everything thats going on because its 'merica

There yall go again taking the gray and making it black. I never said we're perfect. All I'm sayin is things aren't as bad as the liberals would have us believe.

I dont know what country you live in, Impala, but its not the US.

oooh you got me there

1) Troops that I have talked to come home saying "It sucks risking for life and not being told why you are there risking it." I was neither for or against going to Iraq in the first place, and I agree that Sadam was an imminent threat; but the execution was bad timing. Who are these troops you talk to? The ones I talk to don't say anything good about being over there.

I didn't say they enjoyed being there. I don't think anyone does. But when progress is being made you suddenly don't hear about Iraq on the news. Hell look at this forum, someone posted an English teaching job over there. Are they going there to bomb little kids or teach english? People I've talked to include a couple of cousins, brother in law, and two old high school buddies.

2) Our healthcare system is great, but it is also complete and utter shit.

Sorry didn't really feel much like reading anything after this sentence. See reply to cat for healthcare.

The economy: meh, I see the effects of issues like the mortgage crisis. I think our economy will recover just as it eventually did after 9/11.

Well see there ya go, you're thinking positively

Democrats continue to make issues out of nothing. Republicans continue to make issues out of issues.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I know what straw man means, ass. I was asking for why you thought so.

maybe im not so glad impala is back! jk

maybe no one is answering your question because we cannot follow your logic and all you do is say "you are pulling that out of your ass". we could say the same things about what you say.

# Nearly 82 million people – about one-third of the population below the age of 65 spent a portion of either 2002 or 2003 without health coverage (3).

and those numbers are rising and have been rising since 2002

and so you admitted conservatives think very negatively about a lot of issues. for example, homosexuals.
i as a democrat thinking very negatively about invasions of privacy but i dont think very negatively at all about education reform. whats your source for "all democrats think negatively about everything"

This is people without health insurance. Not who can't afford healthcare.

Of course there will be others, but the general negativity still belongs to the liberals. It's not conservatives jumping in and taking the scoreboard down at little johnny's soccer game. They think everyone is oppressed except the white male, when it's really the other way around.

What invasion of privacy? Who invades your privacy? This is what I'm talking about. You seem to think there's some invasion of privacy problem... why?

[Testm0nkey]

i dont have a SWAT cop hiding in my AC ducts at the moment... that i know of... but things like the patriot act, which large parts of it i dont agree with and what i consider to be invasive

Because your depictions of liberal beliefs simply isn't true.
