[quote who="stubbyfinger" comment="4"]We’ve had 8 years of the most uninspiring unintelligent public speaking in the history of not just this country but in all of recorded history and Obama just happens to excel at delivering an inspiring “intelligent sounding” speech.[/quote] I was told his Philadelphia was quite inspirational, yet i saw Christopher Hitchens slating it, saying it was overhyped, i think he then went on to mention Martin Luther Kings March on Was

Charles, where did i say i specifically limited the resources i use to gain information. Instead didn't i just list the places where i get my information? I didn't neccisarily choose to limit my information, its just the way it is. Perhaps i should have just said 'I'm not an expert on this, but here's my opinion'. I didn't ignore the rest of your comment by the way, i just didn't have much time to respond to everyones opinion on this just yet, as i'm at work. I just went through

[quote who="CharlesCS" comment="5"]First of all, I have to say thanks for being honest about not being very educated in US politics or the currents politicians running for president. With that said, I do have to wonder why you limit yourself to the little knowledge you have. You claim to use that 1 website for the little information you have but I don't understand how is it that having access to the Internet, with so many websites you can find information on and compare to get a better idea w

Anti Christ KFC? Come on. :-P. I've just wrote a a bit on Obama so on my blob. So i'll keep this short. I think some people are willing to jump to conclusions rather quickly regarding the issue of Obama and his ideas on race and religion, more so than they would other presidents, how often do we hear about McCains religions beliefs? It is only recently he became a baphtis you know?

I enjoyed Yahtzee's video review of Super Smash Bros Brawl over at the escapist magazine, gave me plenty of material to use on my brother who adores the game. I just find it a little lacking in the technical side of things, something Yahtzee picks up on when he rants about button bashing. You can find the review [link="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/35-Super-Smash-Bros-Brawl"]here.[/link] It's ammusing, even if you don't agree with his view point :-P.

Maybe and maybe he will not be voted for his policies and i hope that if he does lose thats the reason why, but what i'm trying to point out is the sheer willingness of people to take things such as his apparent racisim as face value, what is this saying about these people?

The following article is my subjective view of the American presidential election. I'll get the disclaimer out of the way first. I’m not American, I’m not as informed as many of you regarding the current presidential race with regards to policies and so on however, as I have already said, this is my subjective view (opinion) and if anything will prove as a good way to perhaps educate myself on the subject furthe

[quote who="cactoblasta" comment="13"]On the article...First of all, a spellcheck would be nice. It takes a lot of weight from any argument if it looks like it was typed into the computer by the miraculous intervention of a swarm of angry bees. That's all I'm going to say about that though.

When it comes to religion and the way Communisim handled it. Well i'd have to agree entirely that it was a shambles and that the any society that restricts people from believing in something is wrong at a fundemental level. This is not an arguement for religion, it is merley an arguement against any organisation or society that tries to limit the beliefs of other people, even those outside of their scope.

[quote who="lulapilgrim" comment="56"]A simple question if i may, why Regan? What did he do for you that was so great?Under Reagan's leadership, America was respected around the world. Reagan truly served the people. No other President has done so since. I think he championed conservative principles and led from inner strength and character that didn't change with the political wind. He respected God, loved our country, was truly patriotic, and understood the importance of a strong family. Fo

Well i've been playing Sins of a Solar Empire on and off for the past few months, it's a great game, although i have to confess i'm slowly starting to get slightly bored with it. Usually at this point i turn to mods on a game like sins to get that extra bit of replayability out of it, however i've had trouble finding some mods for the game, and i was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a mod that gave the game a little something else to keep me occupied for slightly l

Ok Island Dog, i'll give you a fairly recent example. I don't spend much time watching fox anymore, i spent a good while watching clips of it during my research for this article however and one that was apparent (and recent) was it's report on China drilling in Cuba for oil underneath Florida. Dick Cheney's office released a statement saying something in that effect, Fox reports it as major news, Dick Cheney retracts the statement, Fox fails to report on the retraction. T

Democracy and Sufferage is all about giving the people the power to decide for themselves . Many consider democracy the final form of goverement, that it is the most evolved and sophisticated form of how a society should distribute its power and decisions. While democracy as a notition is very sound and more importantly noble, being a democractic country doesn't neccisarily remove you the issue of corruption of power. What
