Nope. It doesn't even make sense that he's not into Blues, I guess he just likes his Blacks. Probably the stiffer spring.

inb4 ron paul retardsThis post is so much more amusing in the context of keyboardlover's one immediately after with the predictable "ron paul retard" inflammatory hyperbole.
That still qualifies you as a "Ron Paul retard" though.
Obama is not the president that USA should have, but he is better than the alternative.

I wanted Obama to win because upset conservatards are slightly more funny than upset libtards.
I like him, he's black.Booo-ring... The Czech republic will hopefully have a blue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Franz) president. That would be at least unique.

I was so hoping for a Batman reference here.
I think many people felt that either Obama or Romney were absolutely the "lesser of two evils" however in my research I was unable to actually find a single factual explanation why.Overall, I think that Obama has a mostly pragmatic approach, but that he has bad advisers and that he is too afraid to fight for change. He allows himself to be too limited by the political climate, a climate caused by politicians where many are corrupt. The Republicans seem to be ruled more by ideology than common sense.
Which is how I realized that not voting is actually still a viable vote, depending on one's moral and ethical character.There is not only the notion of voting for the candidate with the right views. The candidate must also have a chance of having influence, or otherwise your vote would be wasted.
you could have voted for non-republican / non-democrat candidate instead.
i see you don't believe in your chance to change this situation. but not voting does zero harm to the system anyways.you could have voted for non-republican / non-democrat candidate instead.
Yea but where does that get you in a system that is completely fixed by elites? Even the NRA, which supposedly helps its members keep their 2nd amendment right to bear arms, was bought out by the Romney campaign and LIED to their members about Romney's stance on guns (he enacted some of the strictest gun control measures ever in MA, in order in part to buy votes from Democrats - and he even admitted it!) I mean for God's sake, Ron Paul was BOOed on stage when he told people that the military is murdering people overseas! Not to mention he wasn't allowed to debate in all of the debates and was given MUCH less time than other candidates. But everyone's view on "equal rights" always applies to the interests of no one but themselves.
They know that people don't like the truth - it's scary and makes people feel weird/uncomfortable. It's easier to just go with what you've been fed.
i see you don't believe in your chance to change this situation. but not voting does zero harm to the system anyways.
Well it's not completely irrelevant - the system of welfare HAS arguably created an entitlement society. Even Roosevelt warned that it would (when he created it, the jackass). It creates a negative change in the human spirit, creates poverty and keeps the poor, poor.Absolute pish. If that's the case how come places with the most comprehensive welfare systems like Nordic countries always have the most wealth per capita, lowest unemployment rates, highest cancer survival rates, etc. etc. and places with less welfare (the USA being the most obvious example as far as the developed world is concerned) have much poorer ratings in those measurements?
You're a naive lad, keyboardlover. Try seeing how things work in the real world instead of watching Ron Paul speeches and reading one-sided essays on the Internet.
Firstly, different opinion from you != trolling. It's always a sign of desperation in a debate when someone resorts to the "calling the other side a troll" card. Also, Who said fascism and communism don't work? Nazi Germany and the USSR are fairly obvious examples of massive success as far as economic advancement goes. Germany went from being a broken mess to the biggest power in Europe in a few decades, and Russia went from a country of peons to the first nation in space and one of the two global superpowers. How is either of those not working, from an economic standpoint? Does that mean I'm an advocate of either fascism or communism? Nope. Just as I'm not an advocate of socialism. However I'm still going to call you out on your blinkered and stereotypical BS though.
When I say "works" I am not referring to an economic standpoint (which is really beside the point, since all these systems really result in only the elites having the majority of the wealth).
I am referring, instead, to the inevitable poverty and war which are created as a result. As is the case with nearly every type of state.Oh jeez...
If I was desperate in this debate, then I would be. Just like, if the welfare state worked, then it would work. ;)This is getting embarrassing.
I have to know if he uses a mechanical keyboard before I know if I likehimor not
obama uses a blackberry which is more mechanical than 98% of us here who use an iphone or droid (not counting the horrible droid keyboard, craps).
When we're at it... there wasn't real communism in (Soviet) Russia, there was socialism, dictatorship, corrupt bureaucracy. In fact, I wonder if there has ever been communism except in quite small communities.When I say "works" I am not referring to an economic standpoint (which is really beside the point, since all these systems really result in only the elites having the majority of the wealth).
Sorry, economics is besides the point despite being the entire basis of this conversation? And communism/socialism results in the elite having the majority of the wealth as opposed to liberal (in the classical sense) capitalism? Did you really just say that and expect your posts to be taken at all seriously? *facepalm*

How is either of those not working, from an economic standpoint?easily. the first regime mentioned lasted for 12 years. the second one made it into 69 years of existence. both failed miserably lol.
The main thing that gets me about Obama is he says he's the one who knows about the middle class, even though he's a millionare. And then he goes and talks about tomorrow and "moving forward" while he finances wasteful government spending on the backs of our children and grandchildren. But people still voted for him...guess they don't care that the government is basically robbing our future descendants by sticking the bill, over $16 trillion, to them.

Dude you're WAY older than me. You're just figuring out now that politicians are liars?
I agree there! Politics is just paid word fighting! :P
Obama? Well I think he's essentially the same as Mitt Romney. A tyrant.

The parties are similar only in how evil they both are. The differences are shades of gray.

I talk to people, call themselves "conservative"
I say "You're not conservative. REAL conservatives go around throwing acid in the faces of girls who try to get an education, and beheading people who listen to rock music in their cars.
Here... shades of gray, like you said.
I wonder of all sorts of crap happened like this during the pre-internet presidents, but we never heard about it because of the lack of said World Wide Web.

Yes because children were the targets. Not people that use children as meatshields while they zealously sacrifice their own lives in the name of their religion. (This is no strike against Muslims or religion in general)
I note the lack of a certain spin zone, but there's not really a poo based name for them.

Put it this way: if you think the actual use of the drones is for a legitimate reason, you need to turn off your television. Rape...kidnapping...murder. It's all ok, so long as the government is doing it.
Edit: I'm thinking you probably mean Fox - yea, couldn't come up with a good acronym for them :)
But they definitely suck hard!
Again, I say, what about just NOT murdering people?
I just think we should blow up the whole Middle East and turn it into an international garbage dump. There, problem solved!
Yes, I have. That's why I have a balanced and realistic opinion of them rather than utopian fairytales.
Why are all your arguments based on one-sided propaganda and only reading into the parts that agree with your pre-set philosophy?
Coercion, force and non-voluntary violence existed in your examples obviously, it's laughable for you to try and claim otherwise. The Spanish Revolution has a pretty well-documented record of this, with landowners being forced into collectives and those resisting being executed. Pre-Columbian America had more than it's share of war and brutality prior to any "statist" influence also.
It's absolutely inevitable that hierarchies and power imbalances will form in groups of humans and those with the most power/influence will use it over those with less. The majority of recorded human history is evidence of that. The whole point of a modern democratic government is that it's a (clearly imperfect) attempt at a solution for this inevitability, by having a single overaching authority (government) that is intended to be held accountable to the population as a whole and responsible for preventing abuses of power and influence from unaccountable individuals/groups. Does it work perfectly, or even that well? No, of course not, no idiot would claim it does -but as I said before it beats the alternatives by a wide margin. Somalia, etc. are perfect examples of what happens when there's a vacuum when it comes to a central authority, and they're all hellholes. Trying to handwave is as being due to statist influence is just a pathetic attempt at a get-out-of-jail-free card for your argument, without providing any reasoning or evidence for it.
Malphas: "Well, Nazi Germany wasn't actually a peaceful utopia, keyboardlover. It actually had quite a few issues of its own."
keyboardlover: "Wrong! WRONG! Clearly you haven't done your research, or you'd know that wasn't the case. Yes there were some examples of violence, but nowhere near that caused by Statism. If you feel otherwise, please provide me with a comprehensive list of cross-referenced examples to illustrate your point, regardless of the fact everything I claim as fact has nothing to support it whatsoever."
If that was what actually happened, then that would be what actually happened! :D
And you think I'm the one living in a fantasy world?? Dude, put the Kool Aid down!
I like how you assert I'm the one with opinionated arguments when multiple times in that thread I pointed out the reward-risk relationship of doing so, the end result of each potential decision and detection, and why it made sense from a purely logical standpoint, and not once did you try to refute that and instead just kept changing tact and labelling it unethical instead or just calling the argument "awful" with no reasoning.
I just don't see where the logical risk is coming from in your mind with this. I mean, you apply for a job for which you are technically underqualified or underqualified compared to the other potential candidates, you either:
A) Are honest and don't get the job.
Or
B) Lie successfully and potentially get the job, or lie unsuccessfully and don't get the job, or get the job and then get fired at a later date.
I don't see how outcome B is significantly worse than outcome A in any end scenario, whilst there's the chance the outcome will be significantly better.
That's because you obviously have a very perverted sense of ethics and have no understanding of the potential negative effects of lying.
And yes, pointing out your bad arguments, inconsistency and idealistic nonsense, and stating that democratic government is the lesser of evils and preferable to anarchy (which all real world evidence suggests is a much, much worse scenario) - or "defending" government as you put it - certainly makes me evil/programmed/tyrannical/any other ad hominems you can come up with rather than a viable argument. Well done, no hypocrisy there.
Aside from defending (poorly) that democracy is the lesser of two evils
an argument which legitimizes not only evil but also statism, tyranny, war, murder, etc.
If that doesn't make you programmed, then it makes you evil.
well-explained, clear arguments
keyboardlover: "refute my arguments [baseless assertions would be a more accurate term however]"
Malphas: "OK *refutes "arguments"*"
keyboardlover: "See, you can't! If you could you would!"
If that was what actually happened, then that would be what actually happened! :D
And you think I'm the one living in a fantasy world?? Dude, put the Kool Aid down!
Yeah, but take a trip to the Durand Line or Somalia and see how great the alternative is. Shouldn't you be past the contrarian teenager level of half-baked ideology by your age? Although Lanx is far worse, admittedly, who's ideology seems to be based on G.I. Joe cartoons and Reagan-era action moves.
Well it's an MW thread. Troll-bait.First part, a given.
I was trying to have a serious debate but ended up feeding a troll. Oh well.
So how do you all feel about Obama and Syria now?

Guys,, Obama is just 1 man.. He's a representative.. He does not at all make decisions alone..
More accurately you are complaining about the Obama Administration, where Obama is the leader.
You can not so simply h8 on Obama (1 dude) like this.. There are numerous other forces, some even more powerful than Obama himself within the Administration that affect change.
