Election 08

[Kaine]

@Ryan: Why hello there!  Haven't seen you in ages...

@Bissig: Ooooo, I appear to have struck a nerve!

@Optimus: This is why I love you, bud.

Also, what player1 said really got to me.  I was so touched, that I did end up voting for Obama/Biden.  So, assuming the rest of the city also writes them in for County Commissioner, then we'll be in business!

Hi, I am Lava Croft.

Whenever I post in a thread, I either post a one sentence answer that has nothing to do with the topic, or I post a barrage of insults. However, if anyone attacks me for that, I fall back on my moderator status and tell people they should stop disagreeing with me!

Pro Tip: Do not post if you do not want to be slandered.

@correspondents: This is not about politics at all, it's about superior-acting Dutchmen.

[Lava Croft]

@player1: Now you went sour and posted something that is not true; my two-sentence post was very much on-topic.

Even more so, when I post my second post, which was also on-topic, tell you people that both of your presidential candidates are a bunch of daydreamers that are completely out of touch with reality, specifically budgetary reality, all you can do is post an image, together with an advice you do not seem to follow up on yourself.

If I had a hankerchief, I would lend you mine, but since I am an insensitive bastard that feasts on the tears of poor, lost souls like yourself, I do not posses a hankerchief. However, I will let the world's smallest violin play a soothing tune, just for you:

Elections are always between a giant douche and a turd sandwich

Obama for sure
no McSame and Failin

[Syntac]

To everyone participating in this heated debate: Go have some fun instead of slandering each other.

Buncha morons.

But the cool thing about politics in America is the constant bitching at each other!

Is that so? I think I'll move back to England.

[ZSpartan]

yes, please move back

[Syntac]

That was either an encouraging remark or a troll. Most likely the latter.

Judging by the fact that you edited your post, you probably said something really stupid.

[GuyGun]

Fail thread. I suggest a moderator lock this as each page is filled with nothing but pointless flaming, with the exception of a few posts by Annihilation and Bissig.

[Kaine]

Nah, wait till tomorrow to lock it.  The new president hasn't been declared yet, let's speculate as much as we can, in anticipation.

[Steely Ann]

Not an all-fail thread, Guy.  Goodness knows it gave me plenty o' lulz.
I like oldskool propaganda better compared to this boring new shit though.



also inb4 "Hi, I am Steely Ann.  I'm an unfunny cunt who feels she must inject herself into every conversation on the off-topic board and contribute absolutely nothing of value to said thread whatsoever.  Did I mention I'm an unfunny cunt?"

Fucking win.



Also at the socialized health care.  There are several places in canada and europe that if you aren't high up in the wealthy or political chain you'll spend months waiting for something as simple as a broken leg.  There is no way to perfect a health care system, but unmonitored socialism health care is probably one of the worst.  We might as well just hand out free bandaids for broken necks and aids.

@ Player1 & Lava:

Both of you are just like Obama and McCain, thus your little fight between both of you is no way to stop the hate. Both for you are really great guys to talk to on the forums, and I don't see why both of you can be great friends. What both of you (and maybe Obama and McCain) needs is a crappy song to see the error of your ways.

If this doesn't help or both of you can't stop fighting each other, then I hope you two kill each other. You know what they say:




To be back on topic, here in Canada, today is the day of the election (excuse me if I got it wrong), and hopefully Obama wins. Or else we'll have another George W. Bush on our hands. D:

Band-aids for AIDS?  I fancy the way you think, good sir.

[Volt]

if anyone wants to continue this on irc, im at #tremelections

[mooseberry]

I'm sorry that not only can most of the Tremulous forums handle an intelligent debate, they actually seem very opposed to anything intelligent happening at all in the off topic section. Really, tons of posts about how discussing serious issues on forums is bad is just plain annoying, I like intelligent debates, and forums are, believe it or not a great place to conduct them with people you would otherwise never get a chance to speak to.

Well, my little insubstantial friend.. Lets guess what country this is shall we?

I'll give you some pointers:

- It's a country that's so far up Bush's backside that it does never see daylight
- It is in the "Coalition of the Willing"
- A taff insane lady with a bad temper once ruled this country
- It has: bad public health system, bad public transportation and lots and lots of public surveillance
- It still hasn't stopped using that ridiculous imperial system
- The cars still have the steering wheel on the wrong side

... Another hint: It is the least socialism prone country of all of Europe

[Ryanw4390]

I'm pretty happy today with my decision, hope everyone else is too

Hai ryan <3

Heyyyy Ozzy <3

@Ryan: Why hello there!  Haven't seen you in ages..

Hey haven't really seen you either

[player1]

Enjoy your snark hunt!

@Kaine: A quite enjoyable exchange, as usual.

@LC:

[Kaine]

@Player1: Likewise.  We all know your candidate is going to win anyway, I was just in it for the bitchfest.

[Annihilation]

I'm commiting suicide cya.

[Kaine]

Make sure you follow the vein all the way down, just to be sure.  Also, I'm told warm water will expediate the process.

Cya on the other side.

[player1]

@Powa: I hope things turn out well for you, regardless of which millionaire gets the $150K a year job.

[Snake]

Well, obama just won, gj.

[player1]

@Ryan, mooseberry, +OPTIMUS+: 

A quite enjoyable thread. Let's do it again!

[Lava Croft]

Congratulations Barack Obama!

Good luck, United States of America, time to get back up!

[sticks]

Yay! Four more years of economic crisis and general dipshittery!

[mooseberry]

Well it's official. The crowd here is pretty wild. Just stopped by to let you know my important opinion.  I truly think Obama will help us recover from these bad times. Well, back to the champagne and throngs.
