I didn't expect you to take that post seriously, but whatever floats your boat.Quote:

duckie, relax. I don't think Tavrobel is being serious. He tends to joke around a lot. Don't take it so personally.
Why do I even get involved in these discussions? There is usually no compromising or agreeing of any sort. It seems kind of pointless sometimes.
Your probably right. Sorry if I got a little....uh...heated.Quote:

Those that want to be in a position of power automatically are the least qualified to do so.
Yeah, because everyone who wanted to be a leader was less qualified than their peers. And that is to say that people who did not want to be in power were automatically more apt when thrust forth? I'll remember to tell Taft that, because he would ohh so definitely agree with you. Ohh, hi, Teddy. Hi, FDR. Hi, Churchill*. Make sure you say hello to Jackson and Grant while they are burning in hell.Quote:

Yeah I know he's British. He's also your mother and therefore, awesome.
Everyone knows that the only good leaders are the ones who have it thrust upon them by their peers. Like Squall.
Politics is a dirty dirty dirty game, and if you rise to the top in the kind of environment, you may be a great leader, but there's a good chance you compromised beliefs and morals to get to the top. So yeah, anyone who is currently in the bid for the presidency isn't sunshine and rainbows like they want people to think, even Obama.
I think McCain is playing the game and that what he's saying doesn't necessarily reflect what his true beliefs are. But what's the guy to do? I think if he were to honestly lay out his thoughts and where he would take this country, he would never have been chosen as the Republican nominee. Way too liberal for it. So he plays the game. He says what he thinks republicans want to hear. Thus the flip flopping. I actually think that once he got the Presidency, he'd stop a lot of the pandering to the conservatives and follow more of a middle of the road approach like he's been known to do in the past.
I'm probably gonna vote for Obama come election day. There's something about his smugness that bothers me, but overall I think he's a good candidate.
I think it's silly for people to hate on Hillary the way they are, saying she's evil and such. She's done a lot of good in this world. More than I ever have, and probably ever will. I don't think she's evil. And from all accounts, she's one of the most thoughtful and considerate people on Capital Hill. I just don't think she has the natural charisma or leadership potential as Obama. And I think some of her plans are a bit on the extreme side. Take her health care plan for example. Her health care plan and Obama's health care plan are 95% identical. But Obama's is 5% more conservative than Hillary's. And that's important, I think.
So yeah. Probably gonna be Obama.
A man who blindly follows a wise man is still a fool.
Nom, that picture is seriously epic. Almost as epic as the story of the Citrus Fruits. It's reminding me of something, but I can't figure out what.
Showing agreement is not blind following.Quote:

You should've specified, then, that you weren't talking about anyone at all, and that you gave a piece of advice that didn't have anything to do with the thread.
