Man kills himself at Ground Zero due to Bush's reelection — Page 3

I say, a statement is a statement. If this is the statement the man chose to make, that's his business. It's unfortunate for his friends and family, no doubt, but in a way it's almost refreshing to see someone believe in something so strongly.

As opposed to the rest of this country which seems content to sit and complain about how their "lives will be OVER" if so and so happens, then immediately file it away and go to Starbucks, assuming someone else will make the sacrifices for their cause. Well that's what this guy did and, regardless of whether it changes anything, it's more bad karma and bad press for that dipsh*t in the White House.

*grins* I think I answered you when I said I would be forced to vote third party. But of course if this thread is going to veer into a discussion of my politics, then I think it's best that we stop here or take it to PM.

PM!

OT BOARD!

"What's wrong with having a political argument on the OT board?"

There is nothing wrong with a political argument on the OT board. Indeed, there are probably at least a dozen available to read right now. But... my politics probably aren't that different from the majority of people posting on BroadwayWorld, so it really won't be of interest to you or anyone else to hear about them.

Um...okay.

I don't think Third Party was a choice though.

If plum has a point, you owe it to us to let her prove it.

"I was fortunate to have a candidate who was kinda-sorta against the war, kinda-sorta favored cutting tax loopholes for the rich, was kinda-sorta pro-choice and kinda-sorta (generally) for gay rights"
:)

How can you not? It's everything you wanted... kinda.

It 1:30 in the morning...and I have no idea what that means...

bythesword, then I would clearly have to spend more than an hour determining who the best candidate would be. This would include estimating how likely either candidate was to stop being pro-choice, anti-gay or pro-war. Either way, I'm still uncertain of how my voting in an imaginary election has anything to do with the man's suicide and the influence of religion on contemporary U.S. politics.

Its not that glamarous you know, Tiff...
