I thinked exactly like you (irrealitic and stupid theories), and i didn't even want to heard about this. But once you open the pandara box...you can't go back. Like in matrix.
Order from chaos is a political and military strategy in action during the 20th century (historical studies make 20-30 years to maybe let the truth emerge. The foreign policy of the USA during this century is teinted with blood (all démocratic communist governement in south america were pushed out by minority with us funds (CONDOR operation...) remember Allende and Pinochet...
If we only know a half of the past we wouldn't let us directe by this kind of men.

For Obama being president, I still can't quite believe it. I was playing the new COD beta when I heard from my mum that obama was losing. I went to bed shortly after that and assumed mccain won.
I was very suprised to see in the newspapers that Obama won but what bugged me was the fact that all the papers were jumping on the fact that he was black. He's mixed-race isn't he?
Another thing that bothers me is the fact that this whole presidential race felt like some weird puppet show :/. It just feels wrong.

Hopefully now Obama is elected president, the tensions in the middle-east will lessen and the stereotype that americans are stupid will be discarded.

Your making no sense, Why spend millions of dollars on building the two towers, then hire someone to run into them, right as we set off bombs to kill thousands of people. Then mourn about it and start a war. Yeah that doesn't sound like a huge waste of time. (sarcasm)

Hah, Stupid Theory.

Dont underestimate how rich loads of people got off the towers being demolished.

Dont underestimate how rich people got off the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Dont underestimate how many rights weve lost since 2001.

I think ive been very clear and made sense, and argued my points ell, your entitled to believe what you want and listen to who you want. You are entitled to your opinion.

X-calibut you are very intelligent and it's sure you've read and study a lot on the subject (news from different countries and historical events, and their perception from the different sides...). You even seems to believe Obama will treat the economical crisis. What a brain

Lmao Xcali knows nothing bro, he cant even think of anything to say to counter our arguments.

In a real debate I would slaughter him, i wouldnt need to curse and say "shut the fuck up" either, Id just lay out the facts one after another.

Because this isnt a crazy conspiracy, its facts, an orgy of evidence, I could talk about this for hours theres so much!

Im pretty confident I could debate any one here, on this and hold my ground well.

Xcali I would destroy though!

61% of Obama’s support came from white people.

23% = black

11% = Hispanic

according to ABC News

The Republicans played the gender card all the way through the campaign, now they're playing the race card. They really need to get over their whiney victim complex and start taking some responsibility for their utter failure of a campaign.

i'm quite surprised by those statistics i thought a lot of black people voted for him, either way i am glad america has changed for the better regarding americas black history.

actually, 23% is a lot; black people are one of the (most, probably) with the lowest turnout rate. i learned it in my AP government class (Male, Black, 18-25 Age is the likely combination to have the worst turn-out rate)

and Democrats only played the Bush card...which seems to be very effective :/

also half-black; i'll bite it and call him white since when Republicans played the race card Democrats came up with "but his white grandmother (or mother? idc) raised him so hes white lolol!"

I'm not getting into the conspiracy theory fight. But I think this topic has gone way off and should be closed unless people stay on track.

Well this topic started out with Obama is president as the title and Linki's hilarious "omg discuss" as the OP and we have been discussing, and this thread has evolved to the point it is at now, no ones flaming really and the arguments are civilised, I dont see why this thread should be closed, just because everyone in it isnt going "yay Obama"

I don't know if any of you have seen this but I found it to be entertaining.

To be on-topic: change is what we needed and change is what we got. Let's see if President Obama will deliver on his promises.

Next one to flame gets a suspension.

You may only talk about President Obama and whatever else that is relevant to the topic.

I'll clean up this mess later and those who flamed/went off-topic will be punished.

Edit: Have to leave, it'd be nice if another moderator could clean the topic up.

I don't pretend to know about politics.




Thats all I'm going to say. It never pays to feed a troll. I just hope one of the mods will do something about it.

The USA should be congratulated for proving the Bradley effect didnt, in the end, affect the result.

A great speech from McCain too, VERY gracious in defeat. The popular vote was much closer than the end result may suggest.

I know we are never going to get a proper left wing president of the US, but both these candidates in my opinion, were as "liberal" as we could have hoped from a conservative with a small c country.

Well done Barack.

Finally, the repair initializes.

I'm happy Obama won.
But its not that...its the fact that he was the first and only president, to give me a feeling inside me that...he can make a real difference.
All over the world, people are celebrating.
He is the new guiding light. To all minorities. To all people. To the world.
Brings tears of joy to me, and im honored to have him as my president.

Just one tiny problem....
just cos he's black and won, doesnt mean that america isnt racist.
the assassination rate is extremely high...this is sad
id take a bullet for him any day.

Edit:
And yes...
Ive been outside the U.S. too many times and back again.
The U.S. gets made fun of, humored, laffed at, and is looked down upon.
Thanks to oil, and the failure to be energy independent/efficient, we're practically the middle-easts (mostly saudi arabia's) bitch.
and now, we get involved in a senseless war. Searching for Osama, Hussein...oil

IMO i laff at us too. I used to be ashamed to be a citizen.

Me: Ugh...Im beginning to hate this country...
Person: THEN LEAVE!
mad.gif

Me: Ok. np. at least I have some other place to go and be much better off
huh.gif


But now...something inside me, just has me going. I can't shake the truth.
I KNOW OBAMA HAS WAT IT TAKES!
