Lol! That's good! We all know who would win though:) I'm in.

I could have a job if I wanted. Just for the record. I'm not a kid I'm a responsible 14 year old. Ok?? Plese stop talking about me I backed out of this ok?? So please don't use my name

Hamers, relax man. Take it easy, no one has it out for you. I've got a son about your age. I wouldn't want anyone treating or talking to him bad either. You're alright.
As far as the job thing. I may have been mistaken, but I am under the impression that you are still below the age limit set by our government to be able to work. I thought the age was 16. It's the child labor laws I'm talking of. I just hope you will be able to get one when you turn 16, but stay in school and chase that marine biology degree. Don't mess that up! All the best young man,

Btw- do yourself a favor and watch the movie John Adams and then watch the film Newt Gingrich made on the history of our country. You will be we'll served to do that for your own understanding of your priceless birthright, to be born an American citizen. You are aren't you?

Please stop saying my name. I could get a jod at a movie theater but my life is far to busy with boyscouts venture crew science olymiad and national junior honor syciety. Ok please leave me 100% out of this I am steping out. Please stoptalking with my name.

That's good for you Hamers! Those are all admirable things keep it up! Do you know how many presidents were Eagle Scouts? Homework for you. I won't say Hamers any more Hamers ok? But it strikes me as funny Hamers, because you keep reposting to this thread Hamers. Hamers you just should stop reposting.
Sounds like your a good kid on the right track. Keep it up. I do wish you success in all you do young man. Keep your chin up.

A word of warning, however: if there is any flaming, there will be a problem.

Considering the fact that most conversations on politics are actually arguments, I simply wouldn't reccomend it.

Luna, I've got to disagree here. An argument isn't always a bad thing. We can't agree on everything, that's why there are elections in the first place. That's why we need a government.

Aces, I agree with some of what you say about patriotism, but I think you're exaggerating how good the US is. We're in pointless wars in the Middle East -Okay, that's not true. It has political benefits for whoever's in office - we back dictators, and our schools are degrading. Then again, we do have freedom of speech - unless you're significantly younger or older than the person you're talking to. Freedom of assembly? The Occupy movement was allowed to exist, right? There's the famous "Pepper Spray" incident, they were kicked out of a public camping grounds. Freedom of expression? Nope. Occupy again.

My main beef is the wars for oil, though. We're dealing with human lives, there. If there was something worth fighting for, then fine. War is necessary, sometimes. Fighting for a tiny scrap of oil is pointless. "What? Tiny? The middle east controls our oil supply! Everyone knows that they produce most of our oil!" No, they don't. That's a complete lie. Our number one importer of oil? Try us. That's not even importing! The second biggest supplier must be over there, though, right? They must not like us. Well.... It's true that a large portion of our oil comes from the ridiculously hostile nation of.... Canada? Damn. Numero tres? Mexico. Number four? Venezuela. "Ha! I was right! They hate us!" Well, they represent a bit over 10% of our oil supply, while we represent over 50% of their export. That'd wreck them. Now, the middle east - all of it - represent.... "45%! Right?!?!" Nope. Around the same as our friends to the south. They supply 11% of our oil. "Well, that's still a lot, right? I mean, 11% isn't exactly peanuts." That's correct, peanuts have some real value. 11% is around what we lost when Katrina hit. Unless you were in it's path, I don't feel sorry at all for the $1.50 extra you payed over a couple months.


I have a question. Better president: Obama or Bush? Just a question, don't take it as hostility.

who the president is really has very little effect on your day to day life. The local elections are where its at. City council has greater power over you than the senate. We have had too many corruption scandals in the last few years over in my neck of the woods. The mayor is in federal prison on extortion charges and few of the county guys are in for bribes also in a scandal involving over 100 million dollars. Sadly this scandal involves one of the teachers from my High school days who I had held in high regard. So yea, dont forget the little stories while you keep your eyes on the big picture.

I know im gonna get a lotta flack for this post

I've learned not to have too much respect for my teachers. One was arrested and convicted of rape charges, and another settled a rape charge out of court.

found one useful post in this whole thread

That's just sad.

Well, congrats guys. Your man won.
To me and the other half of the country this election was about a lot more than the occupy movement being able to camp in public parks. It was disease control, health concerns, and city ordinances that would not allow them stay another month longer. We are also not at war just because of oil. You made that clear Calvin. It is about Radical Islamists and extreme dictators who kill their own people by the thousands , genocide, and because they threaten neighbors with mass destruction, as well as they attacked us, 9/11. I'm not sure I buy your estimates of oil either,&qoute:)
To me this election was about not fundamentally changing America as Obama promised 4 years ago and now he gets another 4. You have not been alive long enough maybe and possibly you have had liberal teachers that have failed to teach you about what a wonderful and unique country you were born into. This country is the leader of the free world and has been, but not for long at this rate. I am most likely many years your senior and do understand we are of different generations. I loath the liberal teaching in schools today in your generation, I assure you it is not the same as the previous generations. I do not believe that the kind of fundamental change that Obama speaks is the right direction for America. That was my opinion and still is, but I will be quiet now out of respect to your victory , for I am only along for the ride now. Good luck in the future.

Please keep the political talk here and not while in the air?
That's my plea.

I FLY to get away from the "REAL" world for a few moments.

Thank you.

Your right mantz I opologize for that. It's a tough row to hoe. Time to fundamentally change America from its very foundations in the next 4 years. We are screwed now buddy. And to the American born that keep saying America is not the best, youre so wrong and you don't deserve your inheritance, it was bought with a higher price than you'll ever appreciate or get to know cause you just flushed it and the foundations that make our country the only super power in the world, down the toilet. You just voted for gay marriage , legal pot, slash the defense budget by a trillion dollars, socialized healthcare,more regulation on small business, more free handouts for those that don't work paid for by people that do.....good greif It's private citizens that give generously and help each path Americans in their time of need through charities and churches. You just voted for the government to tax us all higher and spread it around how they see fit, the government can't even manage the post office or social security or Medicare. I voted to keep the governments hands out of my pocket and let me decide wher I give and to who. Those relief charities and churches will not be seeing their same giving continue cause the government will be taking first dibs from your paycheck and deciding who to give it to for you. I heard some dreamer say Obama is now going to take care of the common man, really? The problem with that is that it is socialism, as in ussr. The problem with socialism, spreading the wealth around, is that pretty soon you run out of everyone else's money! So what will Obama do? Keep borrowing from China. And what will China do? Own us! That is if our slashed military budget and their benefits don't keep them from being able to do their job and defend us from another attack. Obama is slashing the defense budget by a trillion dollars and don't even come back trying to explain how that's a good idea and reasonable. They need that funding to remain the sole superpower in this dangerous world. The best defense is the best offense. Teddy Rosevelt said... How does it go? Help me out here guys...is it "speak softly, but carry a big stick! "
God is still King, I hope he will be merciful to the USA
God Bless America
If anyone has not gone to tube and seen the short video by Obama please do yourself a favor and do it! It's called " in my own words"
I ask that you take 5 minutes to watch obamas original video starring himself , before you respond to this post in argument.
I'm done now. I have spoken my peace. If provoked I will repost, but that's it for me. So if you are tired and disagree with everything I've said and dont care to hear anymore of my thoughts, just leave it alone and I will too. Peace out,

ACES,
I only read the first and last lines. I wasn't going to mention names. Thanks & peace back at you.
