Landsknecht Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27738018/ That is what happens when the false rumors about him being a "secret Muslim/Arab/Terrorist" were given seriousness. I think the racism is less anti-black and anti-multiracial, but rather more anti-Muslim and anti-Arab. This election has shown the ignorance of the American people of the Muslim world since people used the term Arab interchangeably with Muslim. It frightens me that a portion of the US still believes the "turban will go on" on election day; this whole election cycle has caused me to fear for the future of my country.

PrideAssassin Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 1) Anarchy is impossible. Any time more than one person is present, a system of rules (government) will be established between them. Even if it's "Give me all your M&Ms or I'll kill you". 2) There are more black Muslims than arab. Indonesia has the highest density of Muslims per capita in the world. It's basic knowledge. I'm an American, BTW, and I don't like being referred to as ignorant. Most of our people aren't ignorant either. We are portrayed that way by the media, so that they may attempt to "enlighten" us. pffft... 3) Barrack Obama is just another puppet. A know-nothing nobody from nowhere bringing nothing to the table. The only thing he's talked about to any extent is himself.Change? Hillary may as well have been elected, for all the Clintonites on board. Real change would be executing the people responsible for robbing the treasury. That'd be sweet. Make it pay-per-view and donate the money to a fund for unemployment and those who have had their homes go into forclosure. But no. All we get is four more years of an idiot who thinks he's better than everyone else, and that same stupid smirk. (Compare to Bush's. Eerily similar.) Keep cheering on your favorite Republicrat though. Until you realise they are all the same, you're the ignorant one. Know who'd make a kick ass prez? Tyler Durden. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasder Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 You should see UK politicians. They may be different, but they're all lying. And I think its better Obama got in than McCain. If he died, then Sarah Palin! Oh hell no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herosinger Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 1) Anarchy is impossible. Any time more than one person is present, a system of rules (government) will be established between them. Even if it's "Give me all your M&Ms or I'll kill you". Actually, I agree with you completely. No absolute is ever truly possible. I'm an American, BTW, and I don't like being referred to as ignorant. Most of our people aren't ignorant either. We are portrayed that way by the media, so that they may attempt to "enlighten" us. pffft... On this count, however, I disagree. I'm American as well, and I know many more ignorant people than intelligent. Have you ever held a job in which you had to interact with the general public? But no. All we get is four more years of an idiot who thinks he's better than everyone else, and that same stupid smirk. (Compare to Bush's. Eerily similar.) A perfect example. The majority of Americans are conditioned to look down on anyone more talented than they are. It's a practice that encourages mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever held a job in which you had to interact with the general public? What I mean to say is we are no more or less ignorant than anyone else. EVERYONE is stupid, just in different areas. Some more than most. A perfect example. The majority of Americans are conditioned to look down on anyone more talented than they are. It's a practice that encourages mediocrity. Being the Democratic party's platform, I'd say roughly half. :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, in my experience, they are actually more likely to respect those in power. I was actually referring more to rural conservatives. What lower class/poor people do you know? rofl. I live in a mexican "villiage" in the ghetto. Around the corner is the asian trash, down the street from them are the black trash. Over on the east side is the white trash. You'd be hard pressed to find a handful of folks in my neighborhood who respect power or authority to any degree.As far as rural folk go, they do what they do. They believe in local control. Nothing wrong with that. Not much of a "free" country if you have the feds telling you what to do. Especially since they really have nothing to do with anything you're doing. They can police themselves in a civil manner. Most of the time. Unlike the ghetto trash I live with.Of course, that's just my experience. For the record: My area (Stockton, CA) fluctuates between being #1 or #2 in California in terms of violent crime. Number 11 on the National scale.If your Mom's got gold in her dentures, they'll shank her for it...And to amend your statement, Americans are conditioned to question those in power, not those "more talented" whatever the hell that means.

exanimis Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 All we get is four more years of an idiot who thinks he's better than everyone else,Nixon was impeached. Gerald Ford became president for two years. Other than Gerald Ford, and Kennedy (who was assassinated)no president in my fifty years of life has served less than eight years. That I know of. We will have President Obama for eight years unless the laws that prevent anyone from serving more than eight consecutive years is changed. Our new President is the greatest president this nation has ever had and the law may change so that he can lead us for more than eight years. Then again, some idiot could assassinate him in which case , cities, roads , parks and monuments will be named for him. He will be talked about for all time. 100 years from now school children will know the names of Washington, Lincoln and Obama. He will be preached about in churches as a god moreso than Martin Luther King. His politics do not matter, what he does for or to this country does not matter, all that matters is that he is the first African American president in U.S. history. Like many, I do not believe the president to be anything more than a face. We hate Bush because the media told us too. Right from the start they constantly reported that he wasn't our president because he wasn't elected. We loved Clinton for the same reason, even today, if you pay attention to the media they refer to them as Mr. Bush or W and President Clinton. Bush isn't even respected by the media enough to be called President Obama could run this country into the ground, destroy the economy and commit genocide against the American public and like good little automatons, we (the American public) will tell everyone, in eight years that Obama is the greatest president this nation ever had. Stand in front of a mirror and practice what you are told President Obama is the greatest president this country ever had President Obama is the greatest president this country ever had President Obama is the greatest president this country ever had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasder Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I doubt He will be remembered more than Martin luther King. Obama will be remembered. Partly because he's going to be president, and partly because of what he symbolises. That a black man has become president of the US is something quite amazing to those who can remember segregation and Jim Crow laws and all that. He will be remembered by black americans at least, whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
