As I see fit.

So instead of presenting concise arguments like I have, you choose to spend your time moaning about the state of affairs, posting fallacious, poorly articulated arguments, and flat out whining. Then you reply to others' arguments with more one-line, skirt-the-issue replies.

Isn't what you are doing *exactly* what you are complaining that the President is doing?

since when does "voting for Kerry"="hate Bush"

With all the undecided voters, i'm sure many saw positives with both cadidates (or negatives).

Yep. But keep in mind there are still certain degrees of losses. Lose a pinky? Or lose a thumb?

"Take me to your leader."

"Sorry... he seems to be choking on a bagel at the moment."

Right. And when Gurck becomes President of the United States, that assertion will begin to hold ground.

Even if I bothered you'd probably only understand every other word and come back with "it's all the <racial slur>s' fault!", and I don't owe your type the time of day. Like I said, I chose not to. Must suck to not be worthy of a real response.

If it's retarded to vote for a US president based on what I, a US citizen belives then I must be. I think it's more retarded for me to vote for who the rest of the world would like the US president to be. The world can have their opinion but since they don't live here, their opinion doesn't count when it comes time to vote.

Please tell me how other democratic nations feel about who we elected.

Must suck even more not being able to come up with one... but instead just make petty personal attacks, and then close with a somewhat-witty response to make it appear as though you've got the upper hand.

Pretty obvious to see who's won this battle.

Don't bother replying either... the cookie-cutter is getting a little bent.

That wasn't a battle. More like a couple of brainfarts. Chill out already.

Group hug.

Way to break out of your ordinary routine and make a post which does nothing but make a shallow personal jab without stating anything pertinant to the conversation, followed by a winking smiley to mask the fact that you lost. Oh wai...

Unlike your deep thoughts on how blacks/latinos/asians/arabs are to blame for everything you don't like about the world? :laugh: As I said, you haven't earned a serious reply. Funny how you're still begging though, keep it up.

Truth be told, if the reply you made and are clinging to wasn't an attempt at sarcasm, I'd suggest seeking help - antipsychotic drugs may help you acquire and maintain a grip on reality, if only a tenuous one... but better than what you displayed in that post.

;)
