anyone who says teh election was about the war is a liar. simple as that. anyone who says it's about the economy is a liar. otherwise those dumb fucks in ohio who have no education and no jobs would've voted for kerry. anyone who says the election was about terrorism is a liar. the 2 places that got hit, nyc and dc, were the 2 most overwhelming victories for kerry. the election was simply about morals.
and we need to get something straight. morals here does not mean morals. religion is not morals. technically morals are not what people like and don't like. but that's what the election came down to.
god will not save you from hurricanes. god will not save you from terrorists (who, ironically, often attack in the name of god). RELIGION IS NOT THE SAME AS MORALS. do we stone people to death? there are many things in the bible that are not customs today, but are even OUTLAWED. so religion can't be morals, if morals are to be right.
but ignorant people fail to see the difference. oh i'll just go with god, then i can't be wrong. well you are wrong. and murphy brings up a great point about separation of church and state. what ever happened to that idea?
i personally will be numb when things go bad. i mean the world always needs lawyers right? so what do i care? maybe i
should stay in the south; it might be easier to screw these motherfuckers than to pick out the ignorant ones up north. oh but they're poor, gun-toting rednecks. nevermind. (and by teh way, guns was another huge issue for this election. sc ran 1/2 hour infomercial/campaign ads claiming if kerry was elected president people could no longer bear arms. and the people here are just dumb enough to believe it). i'll just laaaaaugh and laaaaaaugh, and in between breaths eek out an "i told you so."
in a sense ron is right. it won't make a huge difference. it may or may not affect you personally in a big way. but it will affect people out there, and is it worth the chance it's you? of course, there's nothing we can do now really, but it's the principle of it, so that it doesn't happen again.
so fuck patriotism. i'd be up in british columbia if i hadn't committed to more school. can't exactly shell out a year's tuition for nothing. if someone says "but i'm an american" an appropriate response is "why are you telling me this ? i don't care, fuck you." it goes to show you, that the veil of patriotism here since 9/11 is just that; a veil. americans aren't any different from anyone else, except maybe fatter and stupider, as a whole.
well that reminds me, someone was talkin about iqs and stuff.
i don't know where this came from, but here it is. ct represent.
damon, just tell people your canadian
