Members LongJohnny Posted September 8, 2006 Members Share Posted September 8, 2006 When people start calling other people names, just for voting a certain way, or believing in something other than popular beliefs of others?

Members skr3ddy Posted September 8, 2006 Members Share Posted September 8, 2006 How long before Americans educate themselves instead of voting based on TV soundbytes. Funny how much fallacy and nonsense a politician can fit into a single catchphrase. They win, because their opponent couldn't possibly unravel all that sticky, deceptive, illogical bull{censored} in a 30-second commercial. How many good people are never heard from because they don't spend all their time doing fundraising and courting lobbyists, and hence cannot afford to buy TV time. Its up to us to start thinking critically, thinking things through, getting information beyond that force-fed through the mass/commercial media. Secret for you Americans: The dirtiest political tricks are commonly played in the mid-term elections, because the party hardcores know that average voters are too apathetic to vote in a non-presidential campaign. Investigate your local issues and congressional candidates now and vote your conscience rather than the party line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dan-o-guitar Posted September 8, 2006 Members Share Posted September 8, 2006 You know what would be really cool? If people didn't use the effects forum to post political bull{censored}. It's like discussing the meaning of life in a public restroom while you're taking a dump. Pretty lame venue I'd think.Of course, that's just my opinion and you're welcome to it.

Last election, it got pretty messy in here.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gil1 Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 It would be nice if we didn't get ugly.Of course, I slipped badly with that "IQ of a Bush Supporter" thread I was really crabby that day.Of course, Grover Norquist said he wanted to drive the fighting into all the states, and he did.But liberals were really {censored}ty to conservatives in the 60, which I think was uncool.

It is a Friday night and I am married. I dont go to bars, and get drunk, or fight anymore, so I have to do something with my spare time. Do you think that I have done any starting of recent political threads? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members (((echo))) Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 i honestly don't know.. i don't keep track but you did start this thread which is obviously stirring an over cooked pot. like i said i'd think you have more to offer this forum than this but then i'm {censored}ing sick of politics, political threads in music forums, and people trolling for the same fight that no one wins.. forget i even posted and carry on down the beaten path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Poopsicle Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 Lots of assholes in this world. So it's very possible that the Republicans could do well. America has the most freedom, but the biggest blindfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fernmeister Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 i'm going to sit this one out. my honest view from outside the US, is that this campaign will be massively bullcrap ridden, with a lot of point scoring and name calling, but it won't change the direction of much. i'm going to bypass it on the news, the papers and online in blogs and forums. there are other things I want to think about right now. the situation in the US courts and in the lead-up to the next presidential race is far more relevant to those of us outside the US.
