Government's dead, america is dead... Anyway to revive said government? Without killing all the humans that is...
*Revives government and kills everbody*
Isn't this supposed to be in the Chatboard? ::) XP
The chatboard has no room for seriousness!
A thing which is sorely needed!
I think this is going to turn into a spammy thread, though,. XP
It will all be worth it in the end...
Yeah, but this should be in the Chatboard, JQ. XPPPP
Not yet, Gaara.
I think the only way to revive the government is to make it to where getting a seat doesn't count on how much money and how big a name you have, but what your values are.
Or get a new president. ::)
Use a Phoenix Down.
I don't have much of a quarrel with our government. The Judicial system hardly does its job though. That ought to be cleaned up soon.
What the heck is a Phoenix Down? :o
A revival potion from Final Fantasy.
Anyway, I haven't been paying attention to the news lately. What's been going on?
idk, I don't pay attention to the news either, too many little kids at my house to watch the news on the tv, there is usually some little kids show on, ick, but yeah, it would be nice to know some news info.
Coal miners in Utah got trapped underground. Blah Blah Blah Iraq/Iran. That's pretty much it.
Iran is giving Nicaragua 350 million to build a large seaport. Who knows what secret plan they have in mind... ::)
I heard that a bridge went kaboom into the water, but I forgot where at...

Well, Bush's term is almost over. They're electing a new one in 2008.

:-[That really kind of scares me that you don't know about that...It's been basically the topic of choice everywhere for a while now. We've even been talking about it on here.
Not really... a mention in ONE topic and with but a few posts.... and only after I mentioned it....

What we need to do is change how we select Presidents. Not saying the voting should change, but we need to make it to where poor people can run too, so it isn't just the money-loaded corrupted people that are able to have campaigns.
Yeah, or just people who are smart enough. But there's already quite a few rules about running for president. Like you must be a legal citezen (I think you even have to be born in the US) You have to have been living in the country for...15 years, I think...before you run. (So you can't move to, like, France or anything and come back and run for president, you have to wait) And you have to be over 18...I forgot most of it. I learned it in 7th grade.
You must be over 25 or 35, can't remember which.
Must be born in the U.S.
Must have lived in the U.S. for thirteen years I think.
Must be a white male. (It's an unwritten rule. They let the others in for lawls.)
35 And did you forget that Obama and Hillary Clinton are running in the Democrat primaries? The former's black, the latter, a white lady... *coughs*
I know, they're in it for lawls ::) I was actually just stating on observation on the fact that all presidents have been white males, I don't actually believe that. I have no problem with a black or woman running the country, can't do any worse than some of the white men that have run it.
...
...
Although if Hilary won, I would move to Canada with Blank.
I'd moved to a foreign country. America is so blah. 8)

Good point there, you never know, the poor people might actually be smarter than the rich people.
It's not always who's smarter though... most of the time it IS, but they have to have a certain intelligence. I don't think a rocket scientist would be the best idea for a president, as being president has NOTHING to do with engineering.
He should be a diplomat, able to understand comprehensively the balance of power and be able to serve with communication between international and national needs.
Mostly what I'm trying to point out is we need to get good, honest people in the running who haven't been corrupted by money and greed. Unfortunately, the way it is now, corruption is practically a requirement.
JQ, is what I ment by smarter, is like, smarter people politically, not scientificly.
Thank you for pointing out what was clearly obvious.
Now, is there ANY news out there worth llooking at? Nothing to discuss at all at the current moment?
i dont watch news because it bothers me how messed up the world is 8) its kinda beyond repair
Can't say I know of any.

Then why bother replying? No offense, but you seem to post like this quite often. If you have nothing to contribute to a discussion, then don't post, "I don't know, or What are you talking about". Just wait until something comes up that you can talk about before you can post again.
Exactly, half his posts are 'Did I miss something?' or 'What?'
and another quarter of them are 'Sock me sideways!' :P
Why don't you say that anymore? :-\
Anyways, there is some news. Van Halen is reuniting! W00T!
Also, there was something else...Oh yeah, apparently they're starting to find these scams where people are pretending to be pregnant and selling their babies to people who want kids online, talking to them about the progress and everything, and having the soon-to-be parents send them money to care for the baby, then they disappear when the nine months is up and they're supposed to be having the baby. That's one of the cruelest scams I've ever heard of..
Why do people trust other people over the iinternet again?
Well, you're trusting what Shikamaru says is true, aren't you? (http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/Commodore_Axilon/Forum%20Crap/linkwink.gif)
I would say that I trust everyone here.
We need that ICE BURN! pic, STAT!
Anyways, they even talked on the phone and stuff, and went so far as to send fake Mammograms from friend's kids or something. It's just...wow.
People disgust me. That's using... the gift of life for profit. Disgusting, indeed....
Anyway, in brighter news, Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's homerun record. The New York Post up here thinks he uses steroids, though. :P The wrote his record on the cover in syringes. It was funny. ;)
Yeah, the guy's a filthy cheater. The record is still Hank's as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, you gotta think, even if he wasn't on roids, the game is different now. It's a lot easier to hit home runs. It's still Hank's.
Well, I certaintly think he did cheat. I mean, he kinda came out of nowhere and began hitting hundreds of homeruns. Not only that, Hank Aaron is respectable. I've heard some really bad stories about Bonds and his attitude.
and 'Roids give you a temper, so there you go.
Seriously though, his head and feet have been growing, an effect of 'Roids, and they aren't supposed to be growing at his age.
Then we all know that something else of Barry's is shrinking.... ;D ;D
Hank Aaron is a better player, no matter what. Bonds can hit as many as he wants. Hank is still the man.
In other news... didja hear about the bridge collapse in the Twin Cities?
Yeah, we talked about that earlier. It's so stupid how they didn't do anything about it when they had clues it needed to be replaced 50 years ago.
Uhh... Dude, the bridge was built in 1965.
And just to take advantage of the 'roids confusion...
Does Bonds also have trouble sitting down and/or with constipation?
My bad, I meant 15 ;)
Also, do teammates ogle his breasts in the locker room?
I don't know. :o
I'm not usually in the Giants locker room...
I try to avoid it there. :P
I think down in mio which is close to a town I live in, they're checking the bridge to be sure it don't go down hill, cause, for the past few days I've droven by there, there has been people working on it, so yeah, they might be checking other bridges to make sure that another bridge don't fall down.
Er, it's not just that easy to say HAY GAIS LETS REBUILD A BRIDGE... I mean, you need to plan it out and break the traffic and stuff, so it's not like you can just say "the bridge is dead, go somewhere else to go to work today, sir, we'll have it done in a few hours."
Oh yeah, in other news; the San Jacinto monument's elevator is working after 5 weeks of electrical failure!
I can't stand roadwork. US-395 here in the Reno/Sparks area is horrible about that. They do all this "work," but it's never any better. Traffic is terrible, and the roads are confusing.
As for the bridge in question, I'm not sure what caused it to collapse. The bridge isn't that old (40-something isn't too old for a road bridge), but corrosion and stress is understandable. I guess we'll just have to wait for them to officially release the reason.
As for Barry Bonds, sure, he might very well be shooting up steroids. They might make the ball you hit fly out of the park, but steroids don't enable you to see the ball and hit it every time it's thrown to you.
Well, the San Jacinto thing is probably really obscure; it's the place Texas got it's independence, by the way. Though I thought it was pretty cool it finally got the elevator back up...
But, in more interesting news:

Deviantart apperently has a thing for female porn.

Wow, that zombie thing was kinda freaky at first, but think of all the potential of something that can bring somebody back from the dead!
And in San Antonio, The Tower of The Americas has been having elevator trouble for a while, and has stopped working sometimes.
Random sidenote, here: those zombies were nasty. You should see me in the morning, though. :P
I blow them zombies outta the water!

The bridge design that collapsed had actually been disused in the UK. Not sure if it was foresight through testing, or that it spoiled the look of the countryside...
Also, Deviantart also has lots of furry porn. Not that I go there to see it.
(VCL has more)
I bet you do go see it. ;D jk
Yeah, it does have lots of furry stuff. Furries aren't really my think, I like cosplay/fursuits better. XD;
yes, I do go see it on VCL.
