Is America ready?

Re: Is America ready?

Haha, you all stereotype and say men are more prone to go to war. Well i think it will not be so pleasant when a girl has an emotional breakdown and leaves the country stranded (oh no, did i just use a stereotype? maybe there was a reason why it was easy to use your own arguement against you). Also, wouldnt it be somewhat of a bad thing if when 9/11 happened we sat back and said, "oh well, maybe talking nicely to the terrorists to not do that again will prevent it from happening again". (Ok, obviously i went a little overboard with ignorance on the beginning of my post but you have to know that there are two sides on the coin).

Look, the point is that no matter how much you want it to be so, people are going to do things for the wrong reason all of the time with no practical justification. All you can do is do your part by voting who you think would be best suited for the job of running the country and hope that other people follow suit.

@virtuoussinner - Hmmm... its interesting how you took my clearly over exaggerated statement to be literal. Also, if you want to be overly technical, i never said the word "human" in that sentence.

I admit I am sexist and sterotypical on some topics. Honestly I can stand males, very few I can actualy stand being around, most are pervs that always flirt around and hope to get action or w/e thier intensions are, until a male proves otherwise I have the same sterotypical sexist opinion on them.

A female could make a good president, but facts being, girls get periods. Not saying she goes psycho crazy on hers, I don't, but her judgement will be effected. If theres going to be a female president she has to have alot of control.

A non-white president sounds better in my opinion. Whites are the majority for the most part, and don't see both sides. More opinions need to be shared and seen from. I was born in africa and raised in a very poor foster home, i'm homosexual and act like a guy most the time, I get discriminated almost everywhere I go. having a non-white president might shine some light on the discimination thing and help america see that we're all people and we all have feelings.

I also heard that thier trieing to get Al Gore into the elections. I'll leave this at that.

Al Gore won't run. Period.

This doesn't make a lick of sense.

Re: Is America ready?

Lamoc: grammar, seriously. It's required both for the forum and for allowing us to understand what you're trying to say (note that "try" has no i or e in it, also).

First of all, I HIGHLY doubt the Democratic Party wants Al Gore to run when they have two popular candidates already running. Secondly, if what you say is true, why even mention it? He's not going to run without his own consent, so who cares?

HAHA, menopause.

Even if Al Gore did run there is a very little chance that he will actually get elected. There are many reasons why he probably wouldnt be but the major one i can think of is that compared to the other candidates he is kind of... dull for lack of a better word.

I can use whatever grammer I wish. You can correct all my grammer if it bugs you that much. I never went to school and I use my grammer from what I think it should be. I know I don't have the best grammer and most people don't understand me but I try. I at least make it so people have somewhat of a clue of what i'm saying. Like trieing and trying, I type words the way I think they are, you understood it.

He did make that movie, inconvinient truth. Alot of people want Gore from the other fourms I go to and from the louge.

No, no you can't. If you think otherwise you clearly haven't read the CT rules. Good grammar is required here.

We have a grammar guide as a sticky in Chit Chat. I am HAPPY to talk grammar with anyone who asks. There are a multitude of ways your spelling can get checked before you make a post.

We don't expect perfect grammar, but I've had to wade through your posts a number of times to make sense of what you were saying. When that happens, your grammar needs work.

If you want to train me please do. I never went to school and my grammer is self-taught. I didn't grow up in america and english isn't my first language.

Crises.



Holy crap, people, would you support your statements with anything?

Over 122 million people voted in the last presidential election. This would require tens of millions of racists and sexists to go to the polls and vote in a way that would completely contradict how they've voted in the past.

That's ridiculous! There just plain aren't that many of them out there!

It doesn't take tens of millions of racists/sexists, it only takes a small percentage of people who vote Democrat to not vote for an African American or a woman. Think of the logic in the statement that tens of millions of people would have to vote differently than they have in the past; this is totally incorrect, because a large portion of the 122 million voters (is this true? I thought it was much less, but I'm not going to check) already vote Republican.

The term racist is understood as an extreme (many of us would not consider ourselves racist, even though we hold some prejudices and stereotypes), and there will be people whose decisions will be influenced by race and sex (in the same way voters are influenced by facial expressions and tone of voice). The affect of this may be that Obama and Clinton attract a certain demographic, as well as deter another, so I think that the affect of racism may be somewhat overstated in this forum.

I believe that with the momentum that the Democratic party has picked up, whoever is running as the Democratic candidate, will win.

Re: Is America ready?

I vote the african-american.

Re: Is America ready?

I'm a bit late on explaining this but I'll say it now.

I'm a conservative republican. I don't like Hillary, Obama, Gore and most liberals (just to name two) because I disagree with most of their views. Gay marraige I'm against, I'm for the War in Iraq and increasing troop numbers. I'm against unemplyment for increased lenths of time (a very maximum of 3 months), against raising taxes (which doesn't make sence anyways, it's proven lowering taxes brings more money to the government and the people). I'm pretty much for most military things like I brought up earlier. I'm against treating terrorists as US citizens (they don't deserve a trial if they are actually guilty, I say give them the chair). I'm against giving amnesty to illegal immigrants....the list goes on.

There are many more issues that I disagree with liberals on. Now there are a few I'm in the middle on but almost none that I completely side with left on. Yet there are some republicans I don't like (such a McCain although he's more of a moderate) and many moderates I don't like either. And I'm not rescist or sexist so if a good (meaning if I agreed with their views) non-white person or female runs for president I'd vote for them. My only problem would be with any female presient, it would be harder for most females to fight wars effectively. Men are uaually better at the violence part of life (no offence to any women out there).

Re: Is America ready?

You can't stereotype a single person by their race/sex. They can't be an average "white/black" wo/man, or else they wouldn't even be in the running for president. I think America is ready for either black or a women or even both to be president. It'll be a first, but then they will be like every other president and this whole race/sex thing won't really exist for the presidential election.

Re: Is America ready?

I say vote for Nader, I heard he is going to run again is that true?

Re: Is America ready?

My main and ultimate concern!!!!!!!! You should all use caution here to.

Nature

The world is not doing so well. Estimated 50-60 years left of this planet before we destroy its resources and the earth burns up because of the atmosphere. We realy have to find a president that will take this and DO SOMETHING about it.

Mother Earth isn't doing too well.
