Re: The Social Random Chit-Chat Thread

I usually have zero comment on politics but once again election time is upon us and were in trouble either way. I guess if I had to pick one I'd stick with Obama.

Can't expect miracles here, it's just another round of digging in deeper and deeper from a mess started way back many presidential terms ago.

President Romney just gives me the chills.

Re: The Social Random Chit-Chat Thread

I think people are being too hard on Obama. He's got quite a mess left to clean up, and I don't think one term is enough to get the job done. Plus, Romney tends to twist his stories. So that's a minus right off the bat.

Exactly... Obama walked into quite a plate full of ......

No one term even two terms can undo that much mess. It's going to take some true long term commitment from current and future presidents too set a goal to fix the major problems and everyone democrats or republicans are going to have to take a big old bite of that moldy sandwich.

I fear for my children living in this world long after I'm gone.. Same as our parents probably said themselves years ago about us.

Maintaining our role as the dominant military force in the world is an aim of both parties.

And I'm voting Obama. Not that I like either of them.

thats the sad truth mate and to hell with what the rest of the planet think.
in UK politics (well English i should say ) its pretty much the same, theres a bit more choice but ultimately theyre basicly the same when it comes to foreign affairs (do what the US says)

did the US news cover the story about the autistic UK computer hacker who got into the US ministry of defence or whatevers systems?
the US wanted to extradite him and lord knows what kind of punishment they would hand out to the vunerable n talented guy.
yesterday in a ground breaking decision the UK foreign minister rejected the extradition for humanitarian reasons

i agree that Obama has took on a few inherited wars but he (or whoever it is who REALLY makes the decisions) has started a few by funding/supporting the rebels (oposition armies) he chooses in other countries

Yeah, it was covered. NASA should work on their security rather than going after the dude.

And you'll be glad of the American military when the Chinese hoards begin to sweep across the world. They're pumping out so much military equipment, it's downright terrifying. They've built more warships in a year than we've built in 15 and their new stealth fighter jet is essentially equal to our 5th gen planes that are still in development. They could bomb you and your government would have no way to detect that they were ever there. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were gearing up for world war 3.

Re: The Social Random Chit-Chat Thread

just as terrifying as it being in the hands of any other nation lol.
my advice to the usa.. the whole western world.. would be not to go messing with russia and china (and in turn Syria and Iran) and let the world evolve naturaly.
cant be the rulers of the planet when other nations have a far stronger economy

and hopefully Scotland will have our independance soon anyway.. our countrys already been stripped of its wealth.. all we have left is tourism and wind power and noones gona invade our country for that lol

Sure you can. The allies beat the Germans after all, and they've always been the economic beast of Europe. And if you think America's bad, then you really don't want Chinese overlords. At least we have the pretense of freedom of speech. Hell they totally censor their internet and have prisons overflowing with political criminals and run down protesters with tanks. At least you're white and speak English. That guarantees you the protection of the full force of our legions if anyone messes with you.

And Russia? Pfffffff, Russia's no threat to anyone. They've been out of the game for ages.

Re: The Social Random Chit-Chat Thread

my thing about people saying Romney is a flip flopper.

Well...in my opinion his ideas are supposed to flip. They are getting better and while he may not have believed in s certain way the first time he did the second time which means he knows what's right now. It's like if I said 2+2=5 am I a flip flopper because I fix my statement and say 2+2=4?

Re: The Social Random Chit-Chat Thread

russia and china are very strong allies man and the US... infact the UN is earning itself a lot of enemies. i really dont wana get into 9/11 but i live in a town (town, not city.. Glasgow airport in Paisley about a mile from where im sitting) that was also atacked and i know all that didnt happen for no reason.
my point is i dont want ANYONE to be the overlord of planet earth. i want every country to be allowed to run its own affairs and if two sides within that country have a dispute that cant be solved by politics then let them have their civil war and if we're the caring people we think we are then we'l help pick up the peices.
taking sides in wars has already backfired.. remember who backed, trained and armed the Afghan rebels against Russia and what those rebels became.
i really think its mad of "the west" to decide who can (isreal) and who cant (iran) have nuclear weaponry and a free reign to terrorise their neighbours
im completely non-religeous but from the outside, christians do as much harm in the name of their god as muslims.
attacking others in the name of blind faith (or propaganda) is bad no matter who does it.

and i should have said faster growing economy

lol hope u still love me mate :beer:

see this is the problem mate, flip/flop black/white (i dont mean skin colour lol)
there should be more choice and it shouldnt cost such a HUGE ammount of money to have a chance of winning an election

Yup, the worst it can get is just being called foolish for their OS of choice. Although that's still bad (and can be quite untrue, I know several iOS users who are quite knowledgable with technology) it just doesn't get as bad as political debates.

If anyone gets offended I'll happily stop. I respect everyone's opinion, as the world is a very diverse place with endless cultures and outlooks on life. Y'all can say whatever you want and it won't bother me, I just enjoy discussion.

My problem with Romney isn't his flip-flipping, though I'd point out it's not admitting when his previous views are wrong that bothers people, it's pretending to change his views to pander to certain groups.

My issue with him is the simple fact that he's a cutthroat businessman who essentially pioneered the practice of outsourcing labor, which is the primary cause of our economic strife.

Oh and funky, we're trying to prevent Iran from going nuclear because we don't want a regime that despises us and wants to exterminate our allies to have massive destructive power. It's a pretty simple dynamic.

I'm also not religious and find religion in general to be destructive, but I don't see Christians going on murderous riots and killing foreign diplomats when somebody makes fun of them.

Re: The Social Random Chit-Chat Thread

yeah but Iran arent like an underbreed of stupid people lol... if they nuked anyone, theyd also get wiped off the face of the planet. they know that and wouldnt do it.
if isreal were willing to talk peace with their arab neighbours instead of having that arrogance that a huge nuclear arsenal gives you then maybe with time they could fit into the region.
as it stands, most of the world sees isreal as a huge US base in the middle east

and about the christian thing.... are you serious mate?? think about it, christians have voting power. just because something is backed by an internationaly recognised army, doesnt make it any more right than one that isnt officialy recognised (through choice by any particular international community/s)

That's because Israel IS a huge U.S. military base in the middle east. And if Iran nuked Israel, nobody would nuke them back and risk a giant escalating nuclear conflict. That's the problem.

And Israel's neighbors don't just hate them for their arrogance. They hate Jews to their very core and would happily be exterminating them if they could. There's nothing Israel can ever do to make their neighbors like them.

Re: The Social Random Chit-Chat Thread

i dispute that mate. religeon always comes into things like this as its an easy form of propaganda, thats why we have suicide bombers etc.
isreal is hated for what its done, end of.
think of the war in ireland (i call it a war, others chose to call it terrorism)
the north of ireland is a place colonised by the british who happened to be of a slightly different religeon (catholic/protestant)
the press (propaganda) made it out to be a religeous thing and a lot of the people in the fight probably did (these two sides looked exactly the same so the only way to form an indevidual difference was religeon) so the UK press brushed it under the carpet as religeous hatred when infact it was about part of a sovreign nation being colonised and made "british"

Yep. Before I gave a poop about politics (still kinda don't, but I might as well should) my friend would always make jokes about Republicans in general being flipflops.

Although I can't say all are, I can say Romney is a prime example of one.
