Obama, we find out tonight. We are throwing a party. No Offence but Mc Cain stated he does not know how to use a computer. He is so old he will probably die of natural causes before his term is up.

I think when all the racist's see that Obama got elected they will see that the color of your skin doesn't matter. And the people that are saying Obama Osama, yeah well he didn't get to pick his name.

I think we need something different. I was really hoping an African American Spambot, but that would be pushing it fast wouldn't it. :p

I just hope people don't go to vote and then say, do I really want a black man running our country?

I guess I don't see the point in sexism or racism...

I believe this will be the first time I have stayed up all night with my parents. And no one at my school is going to school tomorrow if Mc Cain is elected.

I hope Obama wins. It's time for some changes, even though politics (or anything else for that matter) should not be based on skin color. But alas, part of it is.

My wife submitted her postal vote some time ago (although we live in the UK, we have a home in Florida as well, so she is entitled to vote, being American. I'm not, because I'm English).

Who did she vote for?

She definitely voted for [internet connection broken]

What's going to happen is that Obama is going to win the general election and then about two weeks later the electoral collage will vote and overwrite us and Mc Cain will become the next president and then there will be riots in the streets and America will fall apart at the seems.

Post by: Jayshum on November 05, 2008, 19:42:29
No, he survived cancer. Most people who seem to believe he would've died in his first term in office, always forget one thing. Bearing in mind he's 72, his MOTHER is still alive (aged 96), and was campaigning for him in recent months!

I honestly liked John McCain, he came across well without being too religious, or too right-wing. But I honestly believe people will start to love America again now because of this. Obama has a HUGE amount of expectations on his shoulders, but I really do think he's up for the job. :)

I am just saddened by the turn of events :'(

Obama will just run this country into the ground

Anyone that lives in Michigan would know that
anyone like Granholm(gov. of Michigan, who is like Obama)
should not be running this country in this time of economic need.

Obama is going to take away our guns, because it worked so well for Cuba,
it should work well for the U.S. (sarcasm) ;D

I'm not saying McCain would do any better (which he probaly would anyway)

I just hope America won't do as bad as some say it will under (maybe)future president Barack Obama

This has been a post from

  The only republican in Ship Simulator.

Hmm that's not how I understood him in his interviews to be honest.

As far as I know/have heard and read, Obama isn't against guns, he thinks everyone should have a gun in their house, he's pro death penalty, and even thinks rapists should be shot. Any republican should like that, right? He's not the leftwing softy McCain's campaign team made you believe, I think.

And well.. guns.. can you really be trusted with them anyway.. if you're really honest? Considering the number of gun related deaths and compared to those of all other countries, I think not. (For example, even if you look at Michael Moore's 'Bowling for Columbine' with a sceptic mind, it's still very alarming!)

I think their is a global issue aswell here. Obama seems to be willing to open up all kinds of dialogues, on environmental and financial issues, whereas Bush only alienated the rest of the world, made some 'new' enemies along the way and lost some friends and showed that the US had no interest in the environmental issues by his unwillingness to sign the 'Coyote thing' (his words). This is important for all of us, not just you guys in the USA.

McCain would have probably ruled more for the party, as did Bush. And as such "Another Bush" is partly correct, I think, when they kept looking at him as such. Which would have meant that more money would have gone to corrupt crooked rich folks, and less to the people who need it so badly at this moment. And we all know how that way of governing turned out don't we,... You needed another digit on the 'national debt' board, because it wouldn't fit anymore.. Hellooo! And yet the 'fat men behind the scenes' got richer and richer. Logically, since the US is such a big part of the global economy, the current crisis is partly due to all this.   ::)

Now no one will just fix what has been caused in the last 8 years. He's not a wizard or something. It will probably get a lot worse, but that's not going to be his fault, that'll still be due to what Bush has unleashed, in my humble opinion. But I think the better candidate (for the rest of the world aswell) has won.

Ah well... that's how I look at it anyway.  :)

Regards,
Fred

Yep my point exactly.

So even though he shares a common 'goal' with the competition, the competition does not embrace this, but actually denies it, so that they have something else to attack.

I thought the greater good would always be more important, to get things done together, but in this game, such logic does of course not apply.

Post by: Mad_Fred on November 06, 2008, 02:40:44
now its fair to both colors.

So what about Brown, Red and Yellow?

Seriously.. I wish it was that simple. This is a new page in the History books, but things are far from fair yet. And the mindset of certain layers of the population will not change just like that.

Fear and/or aversion or even hatred towards those that are different (no matter how) is a primal instinct, I think. Meant to protect one's group against other groups, so to speak, from the time when we lived in rival groups, before civilisation. After all we are social animals, but that was never 'meant' to mean that we would all become on big group. There will always be some form of discrimination, somewhere, for some reason. Because this instinct is not going to go away anytime soon. Everyone has at one point discriminated against something or someone, remember it's not just color, it can be many things. Even as a bad joke, or in an innocent way, some stereotype thing to say, perhaps. It doesn't make one a racist per say, it's just human. Well that's my theory anyway.

Like a white guy that I saw on TV yesterday, who was defending Obama and said "I think Obama got critized too much in the media, and I think that it has to do with his skin color. If he was just a normal white guy, this would not have been the case!"  (loose translation of course)

"normal white guy"?  As opposed to those abnormal black people? See, he meant well, but somehow subconsiously there is a difference between white and black to him.  ::)
