Well I'm quite flattered that you took me off ignore in the first place!
But anyway, I can call you 'monkey heed' again now! :D |

Ah yes, where would he be without his butt-buddy? Do you plan to kiss his ass every chance you get?
A lot of people have pointed out my supposed lack of knowledge on this subject and all I've really done is loosly relate it to the 2000 presidential election fiasco in the United States. I haven't said anything that would give any sort of idea of how far my knowledge of the German governmental system extends. So if you want to talk about lack of knowledge lets talk about jumping to accusations.
In 2000 there was an election in the United States where the two canidates both claimed victory. In Germany there is an election where both canidates claim victory. I submit the title of the article: " both claim victory in German vote"
That is my relation. I laugh at Germans. Ha Ha. Have a nice day. |

as a Germany living in the US, all I can say is that I filled out my absentee Ballot and voted for the party that I though would be best to bring the ugrently needed reforms to Germany (the FDP).
While I must have not been the only one thinking like that, since the FDP gained a significant amount of seats, it is clear that my countrymen would prefer a slightly more communist government. The "Die Linke.PDS" party was clearly the biggest winner of this election, which is rather sad.
Nonetheless, it is nice to see that people decided this election on the count of their economical problems rather than electing a president, because he is pro/contra abortion. The PDS told the people in the working class and the unemployed what they wanted to hear: "We will protect your wages and will not cut the benefits for anyone. We will make the big capitalist pigs pay". Their total disregard for reality aside, people that are afraid for their jobs/ benefits voted for a party that would -supposedly- keep them fed in the future.
That wasn't the case in the USA, where people are apparently more concerned dictating how other people should live their lives (ban homosexual marriage, ban abortion) rather than voting in their own best interests (i.e. minimum wage questions).
Bottom line: We Germans are happy to be providing you with this type of great political drama and entertainment. We might even give you Act 2 early next year, when we will have new elections - again :) |
Hehehe, I think that only happens in US precidential elections and European referrendums ;)
Anyway, what exactly did FDP stand for that CDU didn't?
Also it's sad to see that Merkel was punnished for the flat tax proposal, such a great proposal but what could one expect in a democracy? |

Whoah! Chill out man. I didn't mean to offend you dude but putting someone on an ignore list just kinda seems lame to me. I'm not particularly fond of say, shadowolf, and he says/posts things at time that are just flat out propoganda and encourages hostility towards Muslims, but I still read his post/threads and respond. I don't tell him to shut up or put him on my ignore list. Ofcourse, you're entitled to do whatever you want, but doesn't that seem a little childish to you? Anyways, I don't really have any quarrel with you so chill. |
