Looks like Bush

Damn I knew I missed the big one!

People need to start something for their inept and corrupt governments to listen and take notice. As the Republican Party appears to be run by large multinationals, maybe they can lobby for a more restrained form of administration if their pockets are hit hard enough? I know wishful thinking.

All I can be certain of is that the American people just lost the last bit of sympathy I held for them post 11/9 (jeez they can't even get that right!). They have, by popular opinion, re-elected one of the scariest war leaders of recent history. They will now have to face the consequences with very little support from the rest of the global community.

Sell your Bel Canto's NOW! Vive Le Revolution! :D
 
You lot should realise by now, the fact I'm still on this Planet (Quaint mudball BTW), and not left for our more needy & deserving civilisations. means your much predicited impending doom at the hand of a simian puppet is greatly over stated & *possibly exaggerated*
 
ian,
kerry was no prize but at least he had no baggage to bring along and could have blamed any tough decisions on the previous administrations. now as you say bush has to fix his own mess but i doubt he has the sense to stop digging and start filling in the hole he's made (preferably with him still in it).
steve,
yes the american peopl have voted and bush seems to have it. however those that have voted for bush probably think fox news is an unbiased organisation with no axe to grind. also as america (and the president) sytles it / himself as 'leader of the free world' why then should the rest of the 'free world' not get a voice in the process?
cheers

Here is my proposal

The EU proposes to become a state of the USA; therefore we all vote. The next election will be won by Europeans. And we will pass a bill to put Bush in a Zoo, as an Anthropological and Zoological exibit of a deviant specimen. Or we may create reservations (in Alaska, even in the Pacific) where we put the most offending americans so that they can carry on their primitive culture undisturbed. Thinking of it, we will put some Europeans there, too, or else in Siberia.

Just my two cents.

P.S.: this was written quite independently of Dr. Jules' proposal - he was writting it while I was writting mine. SO perhaps we can move on and vote for the proposal?

We all know what happens when you let Euorpeans loose with real power: Kaiser Bill, Napoleon, Adolf, Julius...
America is essentially democratic (it could and should be more democratic and better run, but there you are. It is what it is). Europe OTOH is a technocratic shambles that will not not have any say until it figures how how to wield power and walk on it's own two (or six or eight...) feet.
Dream on.
 
Lets hope we dont get a Japanese world leader - anyone remember Tenko?
 
Whats with the royal 'we' .
I've noticed a trait both on here and another couple of HI-FI forums that I frequent that it increasingly seems that to be a member of said forum, being a Left-wing, socialist, pinko and Bush hater is a pre-requesit.

I'm not.

I'm glad Bush has got back in. Kerry looks just as bad as any other politician in my book. In fact the whole lot of them ( Bush, Blair, Howard, et al ) are a lying, cheating, devious, shower of shite whichever party they belong to, but better the devil you know says I.
 
Is it all over? Its a funny system so seems hard to tell...especially with thousands of votes yet to be counted.
 
And another thing regarding voting at elections.
There always seems to be a pitifully small amount of the potential electorate that bother to vote. ( I always excercise my god given right to vote). I used to work with a lot of Austrailians a few years ago and I'm sure thay said that voting was mandatory In Oz and you could even get a fine if you didn't vote.

Now i suppose that making people vote against their wishes is un-democratic in itself , but i wonder just how much the worlds political landscape would change if everybdy had to vote by law ?

I asume you mean Hirohito, the wartime "Tenno" or emperor.
The military dictatorship that overthrew the fledgling Taisho-era democracy was a very bad thing that destroyed Japan.
The (much diminished) military was therefore excluded from the tripartide "Iron Triangle" system of the post war era that divided power between the political class (feudal clan leaders) , the bureaucrats (a Confucian strict meritocracy) and business (the urban haute bougeoisie - who pay the bills and cannot, therefore, be ignored).
HTH.

That made me laugh thanks, in 2010 the star attraction of blackpool won't be to see Biritsh drunken chav's in action but it will be Dubya in the zoo. Clinton could be is minder to ensure he never gets fed. Bin Laden can also visit his cell once a week too.
 
the scene:
bush in a cage doing something unmentionable with a banana in blackpools' ripleys believe it or not....
the caption:
THIS was VOTED as the leader of the free world... flouride has a lot to answer for.... as all is right with the world outside....happy place, happy place.

I fit that description and am proud of it. However, I'm sad to say that I'm pretty sure I'm in a minority on here and most other hifi fora, except perhaps on the issue of hating Bush. This forum in particular seems to have a rather disturbing (to me) right wing slant as far as its members opinions go.

Not quite sure what you mean by the royal "we". How else is anyone supposed to refer to "everyone"? Should lAmBoy have said "Lets hope I dont get a Japanese world leader" instead? That makes no sense at all :confused:

As for your "god given right to vote", that's an odd way of looking at it. AFAIK none of the scriptures of the major world religions refers to voting and democracy. There is no line in Genesis that I remember that says "And God created man, and gave him the right to vote for his choice of government" ;) . I think you'll find your right to vote is a legal one, not a god given one.

Michael.
