:angry: You'd think people would use this thing called common sense. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We got stupidity like this running around.

Well you gotta' remember that the first woman to report one was coming out of church at the time so she was probably one of those bitchy-soccer-mom-video-games-are-the-devil's-work-so-I've-never-tuched-one type of women that just feels the need to stick their nose into everything, it would just fit so well for this situiation and make it so easy to hate them for this.

Even so, common sense says if a guy wants to put a bomb somewhere, they don't wrap them up in painfully gaudy golden-colored boxes with a big fucking question mark on them.

And I doubt the average soccer mom knows what a Mario powerup box looks like.

Mine did, she could kick my ass at Donkey Kong back in the day, when I would have friends over and we'd have MK tournaments she'd play and make it to the finals, hell yeah, go Mom, she kept my PS1 for herself so I've just got to use my PS2 for those games now, heh.

Then your mom isn't a soccer mom. Soccer moms are ignorant of anything videogame related, and work on assumptions and the hot air from Jack 'Douchebag' Thompson.

Yeah. Ignorant soccer moms. <_<

BTW, my mom probably doesn't know much about this stuff either. However, her reaction would be "Meh", and just not care about it. I mean, an orange box with a question mark? No way my mom is going to panic over that! Now, suspicious looking man leaving behind a backpack in a crowded area? Different story. But that? No.

Yup, I'd have to say if someone asked me whether I'd rather kill all the terrorists in the world or all the soccer moms I'd have to with the soccer moms.

Can't fault your logic. Soccer moms can be scarier than terrorists.

Wait... GH, you actually had/have a faith in humanity meter? Mine blew up a few years ago. *thinks of the Bush reelection*

I really can't say I'm surprised with these idiocies. There have been just far too many examples of late that show how stupid people are.

It's been said that people are stupid, and the individual is smart. Although, on that subject, why do you think I'm the Fatuous One? :p

I prefer to think that anyone who claims to be sane is automatically stupid. Sanity is overrated anyway.

And why is loud stupidity so infectious, anyway?

BTW, had the WTC attack not occurred, LIKE HELL Bush would've been reelected.

Yah probably, but he's better than Kerry anyway IMO, if he had been elected I get the feeling we would have been in WWIII by now, personally I think both of the last elections canditates were horrible though, we just need new ones entirely.

There are sane people that aren't idiots. However, in the words of Doctor Who "Anybody remotely interesting is mad, in some way or another." and J.D. Griffin "Every time I try to define a perfectly stable person, I am appalled by the dullness of that person." ^_^

That's what I'd like to think as well. However, considering my FiH, I believe he would have been reelected anyway. People, and it seems especially American people, are completely retarded.

I disagree. While I didn't like Kerry by any stretch, I'm in the firm belief that you can't get worse then Bush. Still, last election candidates were crappy. Funny, considering the President is supposed to be the representative of the USA... great image they're giving everyone, huh?

The US political system is set up so that anyone who would make a good President could not ever possibly become president, so it basically becomes a 'good old boy' competition.

I think all political systems are flawed in one way. But one you could say with our system is, well, it is more stable. In a parlimentary system, you can have multiple parties competing, all with different agendas. Of course, they will be a coalition set up to run the government, but, as been seen in many countries (France, Israel, Canada), one party in the coalition has a disagreement with the other, they leave the coalition causing basically the collapse of the government, forcing new elections. This, sometime even within months of a previous election (i.e. Canada).

With the US system, only two parties can realistically win, and in turn, only one party has to worry about being in control (well, you do get situation where one party controls one branch, like the Presidency, while another leads the Congress. But still, it is one of those two parties leading). It's more stable so you don't have elections in random years. Sure, the two parties are, and can be terrible (which they are) but at least I don't have to worry about whether the government will be there for six months or three years either.

As for the Presidency, I won't get too much into it since well, I always get in trouble when politics is brought up. I'll just say that I'm glad Kerry didn't win the last election. No, I don't think Bush is that great either. I just think that Kerry was NOT the man that should replace him. IMO, he was a huge joke.

If anything, I thought both choices were terrible. I just felt that Kerry was the worse of the two.

I don't know much about US politics, but even I can tell the only good candidate last election was Nader. The other two both sucked.

Let's just say that Kerry was so much of a joke that even over here the phrase "I have a plan!" became synanomous with idiocy.

More than Bush's "There should be a limit to freedom"?

Now THERE's an idiotic oxymoron. If freedom is limited, it's not freedom, you unbelievable dumbass.

Well, while that needed to be worded much better, there is some 'logic' to that saying. After all, if you had total freedom, than you could have the freedom to kill your neighbor if you wanted to. After all, there is such a thing as 'too much' freedom where society basically collapses into an anarchy state where only the strong survive (and would in fact, not be free since now you have some big poweful guy making the rules).

Great, I'm defending Bush now. <_<

It's all about balance, denying someone something completely generally isn't good but by the same turn giving too much can be just as bad, balance is the key, that's always been my philosophy.

Don't be absurd. It's all a matter of not abusing freedom. There's no such thing as too much freedom, only abuse of it.

But unfortunately, given the freedom to do so, inevitably someone will abuse it, it's inevitable, a fact of life, because everyone has their own individual free will eventually someone is bound to abuse their freedom, which is why there needs to be a balance between freedom and rules, not being kept in a dictatorship but also not allowed to run completely wild, because it is a glaring flaw of the human race that if there is something to be abused or taken advantage of someone will, that fact has been proven over and over again throughout history, which is why man will never achieve a utopia as long as man still has free will, because a utopia, by its very nature, would be impossible with the inclusion of free, they are self-defeating concepts, when mixed they're like oil and fire, you get a bright flash and a large flame and then a great amount of dust, that's about it.
