Your government

I think the death penalty should be effective immediatly
you shouldn;t wait on death row for thirty years
if you killed some one, you should be thrown into a pit of rabid chickens the next day

^ i agree

and they can stop being such fucking hypocrites. i mean think about it logically. they got pissed off during the vietnam war when other countries were trying to spread communism, but yet our government forces democracy upon other countries all the time and think nothing of it. yea, there's a big different between the two, but we're still doing the same thing they were.

also, our govnerment should just keep to itself and let other coutnries live the way they want to. just becuase you enjoy living another way doesnt mean another country is going to be greatful when you force it upon them too.

and our government and country need to become less christianized. if everyone has the right to practice any religion they choose, why do we have things going on right now like abortion bans and gay marriage bans primarily because the bible says it's wrong? and even though you suppossedely can practice any religion you want, youre still expected to follow these laws even if you dont believe a word of the bible. if you're religious and you dont like the idea of gay marriage, dont marry someone of the same sex and dont attend gay marriages. just becuase you think its wrong doesnt mean homosexuals shouldnt have the same rights as you do. and the same thing with abortions, if you think it's wrong, don't get one. but the choice should be open to those who want or need it.

and more on the homosexual rights thing. our country is so fucked up and hypocritical in that when you learn about the descrimination against blacks back in the day it's taught and thought of as an awful thing and lots of people (this is exclusing all those racist fucks we have in our country) think it was wrong and that everyone was created equal and what not. at least this is how it is taught to us in most schools. but yet, these same people who think what we did to the blacks was horrible do the same thing to homosexuals. why doesnt the 24th? (i dont remember the exact number) amendment include sexual preference? it says not to descriminate aginst people due to race, and gender and all that, but nothing about sexual preference. it's not like gays can help being gay anymore than people can control their ethnicity, and even if they could control it, it should be their choice.

i could go on forever, but im going to spare you for now.

the fact that most Americans dont like Bush and didnt vote for him is a little piece of evidence but its good cause he can't be voted in again now

i dont know how the voting system works exactly in America, but here we have the "first past the post" system which basicaly means the first party to get a certain number of seats wins. Also with this method to gain the 'majority' you only need around 36% of the vote not 51%. Plus, with this 36% of the vote you actually get about 60% of the votes. And other parties that get around 25% of the vote only get 10% of the seats. However if the voting system was changed to PR (proportional representation) if you get 20% of the vote you get 20% of the seats. Which some feel is much fairer, however its not likely to happen.

would someone mind explaining the american one for me, it would be much apprectiated.

with us, we have primaries, where it's like single elimination all the way to the real election
and we go and vote, but our votes are tallied, and each state has a certain number of votes it gets, like California has 55 votes, and Alaska only has three, I get Eight
but then the representitives (California has fifty-five) make the real votes that count

so technically, Bush could have gotten none of the votes from the people, but the Electoral College (state representitives for the election) could have all voted for him

no, Dujo says I can't say mean things to anyone anymore but I'm finding it hard with posts such as this
Kerry was in the lead, but not far from Bush, it was all decided on Ohio's vote, whoever got that won the election, and Bush got it

if you don't know what Electoral College is, or don't watch the full election, just the results, then don't say you have a strong opinion

the electoral college is outdated. our country has grown out of it. its time the election is decided directly by the people. but as a friend of mine once said, "those who cast the votes decide nothing. those who count the votes decide everything." but still...electoral college isnt right for this country anymore.

That's basically saying only smart people can vote. But to be honest stupid people are the kind of people not to vote anyway.

I am from Canada...and I think that the Liberal Goverment is currupt. The sponsership scandal...makes me angry. The Liberals should go! But I don't want the Conservatives in, because then we'd have a more Bush kinda goverment, and that wouldn't be good...VOTE NDP...that's all I have to say...
