Originally posted by Enervate get your thumb out of his ass. anyone can criticise the way a president runs a country, thats the downside of a presidential system, that the head of state is the same person as the head of government. in most of the countries of the world, these two people are different, so that one can criticise one without criticizing the country at the same time. simply a marketing thing, if you will. as for your comment about the cabinet of the united states, they are probably the most talented cabinet that has ever been in charge of the US, but we do share the same problem that most countries share, in that the beaurocratic part of the upper levels of government are not elected, they get their jobs and can keep them for as long as they want, its the same as the ministries in britain and the cabinets of france and japan. the fact that you call them theives is complete stupidity- where do you make these claims from. Clinton was a damn fine president? maybe you found him as attractive as his interns did, because all he did was ride the internet bubble, and defer all of our national political problems to a later date. i am not surprised that you have deferred our multi-topic argument to the election again because it seems to be the only place that you can make susinct argumetns, and i have proven you wrong on many of the other issues.

the reason I keep referring back to the election is because I find it quite funny that America is a country that has a leader who hasn't been elected by the majority of the country, and if it was any other country in the world, the UN, the EU, and hell even America would go apeshit. Actually all the ministers in Britain are elected, and positions are delegated by the Prime Minister.
Maybe thief was a harsh word to use, but a number of these fine cabinet member you speak of, haven't made their money as legitamately as you or I (well at least I, you could sell smack to kids).
for example
Colin Powell - Secretary of State
When not fighting wars, Powell sat on the boards of Gulfstream Aerospace, and AOL (that really great internet ISP ). Gulfstream makes jets for foreign governments like Saudi Arabia. During Powells time at AOL, the company merged with Time Warner, and Powells stock rose by $4million dollars. Nothing out of the ordinary, but with mergers this big, the FCC usually questions mergers this size, and often rules against them. Colins son, Michael, was a member of the FCC, and advocated strongly that the merger went through with no questions asked. Michael Powell has since been appointed chairman of the FCC by the big W, and as part of his job, he oversees AOL's instant messaging technology.
*removes his AOL instant messager*

Secretary of the Treasury - Paul O'Neill
Formerly President and CEO of Alcoa, the worlds largest Aluminium manufacturer, before joining Bush's administration.
Alcoa does it's lobbying through a law firm called Vinson and Elkins. Vinson and Elkins was the third largest contributor to Bush's campaign, and by coincidence 'found' a legal loophole allowing Alcoa to dump 60,000 tonnes of sulphur dioxide into texas every year. O'Neill sold his shares in Alcoa, for a whopping $62 million, very slowly, after watching his stock rise 30% in the time he was in office. Since becoming treasury chief, he has stated Social Security and Medicare aren't necessary, perhaps because he recieves an annual pension of $926,000 from Alcoa.

*never visits Texas*

as you can probably tell, I've got a bit of a list of this "talented cabinet" in which you speak, and there rather shady pasts. If you can find me half as much dirt on the British ministers, I'd be fucking impressed, because the british press can't, and they're at it all day and every day!

Happy?
oh and what points have you made? where have you proved me wrong on anything?? oh thats right, you haven't
Have to apologise about the Clinton thing though, all we hear about him is how great he is, but most of the good things he did came in the last 2 days of office and to see him on the telly does make me go all googly eyed , but the fact remains that he was likeable, whereas Bush reminds me of the kid noone liked at school, flunked his way through life, and has got by with Daddy giving him handouts (failed oil projects, baseball teams etc... )
When you actually make a point, or, shock horror, prove one of mine wrong, feel free to post it, or if you've actually proved me wrong point it out, so I can tell you where you've gone wrong. Until then deal with the fact that you are one of the few countries to have signed the Land Mine mine proposal put forward by the UN, you didn't sign the Kyoto agreement (well played there lads, we all really admire you for being a big bunch of fuel munching ****s with your SUV's and 5 litre cars), and an International Human Rights agreement about the treatment of children (Cos good ol george loves executing those 16 year olds). That your country plans on spending $1.4 trillion dollars on the pentagon, when it would only cost �1.2 billion dollars to fix every school in the country to the required standards.
Gotta love the "talented" US Cabinet

yes i do, and what i was using in that last statement was called Sarcasm. its a technique that a lot of people use to protect themselves and hide their true feeling. i use it because it agrevates people and demands stupid responses.

And who voted Brazil? What did we do wrong? I bet it was someone from Argentina. In fact, Argentina should be listed on this poll. Im quite sure they would have 1.000.000 votes...

i bet it was a woman who is against brazilian bikini waxing. i mean if i used a method that put hot wax on my asshole and ripped out every hair, i would hate the country the method was named after also.

yes, being a fully paid up member of the "I'm a sarcastic bastard" foundation, I do recognise sarcasm when I see it
what I was trying to point out was what Ste said was funny.......
but meh

lol, i know..and what the hell is a Ste.

i want to change my vote....im voting against japan since no one voted for them and i dont want any country to feel better that the rest.

my reason...they make shit cartoons these days. what the hell is a Pokeman and why do i need to catch them all. i was watching my 5 year old cousin and all of the sudden i heard the dog and his 2 cats crying. i went up to his room and he had all three animals under clothes baskets. i asked him what thehell was he doing and he explained to me that they were Pokeman and he had to catch them all. i f*ckin hate cats, but leave the poor dog out of it.

what heppened to good cartoons like they had when i was growing up like Scooby Doo. now theres a wholesome cartoon about a boy and his dog that got sooo stoned that they broke into old houses, saw haloucinations of ghosts and always had the munchies. it also had a lesbian, a gay, and a sexually frustrated beaty queen. now thats a cartoon....ZOINKS!!!!

I always preferred Ghostbusters

You have a point, but if we hadn't invented it, you could catch yourself banging a girl with an ass hairier than yours... And thats not cool... AT ALL!

i dont know i live in america...that pic was takin on the streets of NYC...i just added the eifle tower because my mother goes to europe for a month every year and never takes me..so i take her pics and put me in front of famous landmarks so i look like a world traveler.

It was a guy who voted for every country except Japan By the way, I think only South Americans and Brits would vote for Argentina... besides, the only Argentinian TA's we have here are cool

It means that you lost your bet

Ps.: French women don't have hairy armpits anymore... I lived in Italy and I would occasionally go to France, so I know it
