politics make no sense...
especially when you have a "democracy" with a retarded 2 party system and less than half the population voting because of it.


everyone vote for the third party!


If there was one, I'd gladly vote for it. The Republicans are god-fellating loonies, and the Democrats are ball-lless morons who think that censoring video games will solve the countries problems. I also hate people who take sides in the whole political circle jerk in this country. Just vote for who you think is the best man, not what fucking party they run for.

Pardon my ignorance, but could somebody explain to me why the hell there are only 2 parties in the US and how that fits with democracy?

Well, the U.S. has a winner takes all system. So that really is what makes it slim down to 2 major parties. If we had a parliment system that awarded seats on a percentage basis it would be a different story.

The two party system cuts apart those people with intermediate views. I am an economical leftist, but a moral rightist. What chance do I have in choosing a candidate that not only fits my views, but has a legit chance of winning the presidency?

Frigid, shut the fuck up. You don't know anything about the world and the sooner you realise it the sooner you can look back on these posts and think "God, was I ever that stupid?"

at least that's my impression/view/opinion


Because you are 12 and don't know shit. Euros = the gay. You guys live in some one world fantasy land.....

I have been to Zurich, it makes San Francisco and Tokyo look cheap. How the fuck you all afford to eat there?

That there seems like a judgemental view of Americans.


oh really now? i have yet to see proof that most americans aren't prejudiced indoctrined loonies, that only care about themselves.



How many times have you been to America?


twice actually. now, don't get me wrong. There are enough people who know how to care for others but from what i saw your country is divided in two. for every caring person i saw, there were 3 total freaks. You find it normal when you go to a bar, to be insulted for 'stinky european' by some guy without teeth and with several stab wounds, WHICH he proudly shows every 4 minutes?


My colleauge got beat up and muggedi in a taxi in Germany because drunk Robbie Williams fans wanted the Taxi and were pissed he got it. Don't pull that Europe is kind bullshit on me. It is just as fucked up if not worse then then the US. If you don't kjnow that, it is because you stay in your house 24/7. I have been to Germany, Ireland, England, Scotland, Italy, Greece, France and I know Euro is just as fucked up as the US, you deny it you are full of shit. The reasons euro's see a lot of coutnry is becuase you all might as well be the same as the USA and just call Europe a country and all the countries states since you have the EU and one currency. Don't fucking jump on the US. Maybe these other dudes haven't been there but I have and I know for sure it is just and more fucked up then the US.

Well you see if you are in America you are so far to the right that even being just right of center makes you sound like a communist. 8)


You are an idiot, I know BC is the capitol of redneck Canadians and staying stoned 24/7 but you don't have to bring it to the message boards eh........ I know you are a lumber jack in training and shit, but come on, you all in Canadia, especially BC are the biggest rednecks on earth.

here comes arrogance itself! I have been to more countries in Europe than you, probably more times as well. I've been to the UK, Ireland, Holland, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, hell i even went to freaking Slovenia. Never have i encountered things there like those i saw in the states. i don't hate or dislike america nor the people that live there, but let's face it, like every country, the usa has problems. The only thing is that those problems seem worse than anywhere else.
