"That is how Bruce Lee thinks, George Lucas, Eminem, Galeleo, Jesus, myself, and George W Bush think. I'm not making this up, this is a conclusion I've come to after writing 20 to 30 posts on the matters all over every board. "
bruce lee is dead and has no opinion on the issue.
eminem openly bashes on bush
galileo and jesus? now you are in lala land.
come back to us
I have an open mind, that is how open minded I am.
I like Bush, Don't care that Eminem has stuff to say (I find it entertaining and true). Galileo has an open mind, Jesus has an open mind, he is the son of God... I happen to believe he existed and suffered for being open minded.
Bruce Lee created a form of martial arts that intend to be used to deal with any other martial art form. I just see this connection that Bush adjusts to change as it is needed. I don't blame him as much as you might because he is adjusting.
As far as both candidates. I must say, they both must have Balls to be president. Cause, I'm saying, this is a dangerous time for the US president.
PS: Eminem says stuff about Bush, but he also says stuff to make everyone mad and he does it in a way that I can see where he is coming from. He wants to make everyone laugh, and relax. His latest song, "Just lose it." Lose yourself. It explains his philosophy.
You know about George Lucas' open mind. It is seen on screen.
So you might say, I disagree with Kerry because he claims that he can adjust faster to the change. It is really not an easy thing to do. I just can't put myself to vote for someone while someone has been learning for 4 years. Will Kerry have to relearn everything? Probably not, because he will have intelligence, but Bush had a plan he started, I think he should be the one to finish it. My opinion.
i agree that you have an open mind, your credibility is not the issue.
but you also (unintentionally i presume) insinuate that
those who dont support bush are narrow minded, and dont think with
"basic logic" its a direct conclusion.
you say: i support bush because i am open minded and use basic logic.
therfore those that dont support him....
...well, you get it right?
and then to say that jesus and galileo think the same,
the direct conclusion is that jesus and galileo would have voted
for bush.
Oh no... dude, you know what I'm trying to say. I hope. I just posted examples of open mindedness. I'm seriously trying to connect my thoughts for you. I'll clear it up when I must.
I was saying that I use basic logic and an open mind to chose the candidate. I'm refering to examples of good open minded people.
As for Jesus... I don't know who he'd vote for. I really don't know either about the other people I listed as examples of having an open mind. Who knows who they would vote for.
Any more questions?
thats what i thought, just wanted to make sure.
i wish that all people voted with an open mind.
all campaigns seems to insult the intelligence of the american public.
i see it on both sides and its sickening...but like i said, stupid people vote too,
and are swayed by mudslinging and discrediting their opponent. rather than point out their own strength, they point the finger. both of them do it, and its really all they do.
i vote out of a want for change and
i agree with kerry's views. however, both sides obscure many views through
vuageness and empty promises.
kerry: i have a plan, bush is a bad president
...ok well you were never president, so talk is cheep
bush: we need to.... we gotta.... in the next four years i'll...
...hmmm...um...what about the last four years and all the promises you
backed out of? again...talk is cheep.
this campaign is full of empty promises and appeals to stupid people who dont care about the issues. in some ways its a mockery...but to stay home would be to refuse my civic duty. i pick the candidate which, to me, smells less like bullshit. its sad, but its reality.
We should vote, yes, and if we all vote, it should be quite close. If you know what I mean for reason's unknown. I don't think it is because of the candidates. I'm trying to pinpoint it, but I think it is that we are getting candidates that are so much like we want, except for a tiny thought about how to do it a fraction of a hair this way. It is just that we are coming together, and our candidate choice is becoming a coin toss operation.
Oh no.. this could be even closer than 2000... maybe. Who knows, alot of "coins have to be tossed"
If we voted so close in 2000, and now after 911, we came together as people (media aside) how close can it be in 2004? 3 years after we came together. I'm guessing we stuck through the times just a year or so before the attack. Is that some subconcious decision by everyone? Like a spiderman?
i would have to disagree and say it was unusually divided.
regan got most of the swing voters as did clinton.
the bush/gore election drove a sharp wedge between dems and repubs.
there was more of a line drawn in 2000 imho.
9-11 united america but also left us open to fabricated fear. which is part of the reason i dislike bush. vague warning after vague warning matched with a bogus color chart to keep us afraid. they could not be straight and say "we have no idea if and when they will strike us again" but instead have "trust us, we got it all covered" the very nature of that damn terrorist 'distracto-meter' was bullshit. common sense says it will never go below yellow...EVER. and ever visit ready.gov? another load of crap. diagrams that explain that in case of a nuclear detonation, procede on roadways leading AWAY from the blast zone! and other useless nonesense like this. may as well say..."in case of another attack, please follow this procedure if you are within the attack zone: bend over backwards, and kiss your ass goodbye"
please, visit the site and see for yourself: http://www.ready.gov/index.html
and tell, me if you feel informed...or just uncomfortable.
i cant forgive bush's statements of "you are either for us or against us" and how those opinions against his methods were "unamerican". its easy to forget, since we all just want to forget those times, while not forgetting the actual tragedy.
This post has nothing to do with what you posted above, but explains probably why we get the candidates we do and why they act the way they do.
How can we explain the election results by county?
I'm going to find the picture and link it to my web space sometime. The voting patterns of 35 states went to Bush, and 15 went to Gore. Most of the Midwest (sparsely populated areas) voted for George W Bush.
The Pacific/NewEngland areas with (heavy populated areas) voted for Al Gore.
The election 2000 map shows that republicans appeal to the low populated areas. Crime is low and most problems are low by county, deducing that more people, the more complicated it can be to have people happy.
The election 2000 map shows that democrats appeal to the high populated areas. Crime is high and problems are high by county, deducing that population and crime and problems are directly related.
Bush would tell everyone that Everything is going fine and we are going places.
Kerry would tell everyone that everyone is getting S**ted on and we need change for America.
I see why they need to campaign that way, but I can't vote for Kerry if he speaks for his base and Bush speaks for his base.
They elected to run on a coin toss. I think they are doing this to give america a chance for the better. Two smart people, probably.
It isn't definite, but I think a good discussion.
By the way, I'll be looking for that map. I so find it interesting.
You can disagree, but to say this:
"bush attracts 2 types of people:
-republicans
-stupid people"
That isn't calling names and saying the other side is just stupid? What? Then what is it? You can have your opinion and disagree without calling the people who disagree with you stupid. There are stupid people on both sides...stop bringing this up.
I didn't say he insulted me personally...He was bashing Bush supporters...if you can't see that than you are blind. He said that Bush attracts 2 sorts of people: Republicans and stupid people...and I'm sure he thinks Republicans are stupid as well...So I can say that to the people who back Kerry: Kerry attracts liberals and dipshits...but that was just a generalization right?
