Like anything these guys are saying are worth your time and anything to even get excited over.


Your first sentence is completely wrong. Your life WILL change by who is in office. I think you need a politics and econmics course ASAP.

Just because you're too young to be able to vote and too ignorant to understand or participate, doesn't mean we should all stop the discussions just for you.

In fact, you're the one who needs to ****.

Or more politely... If you see a political thread, and don't want to participate... then don't open the thread.. To tell us what to post or not isn't to democratic now is it? (see how I tied politics into my answer.. )

CNN and NBC are the exact reason that we have to talk about it.

Nope - you are limited to 100 pixels high. You won't be banned, but eventually the mods will remove your sig if it's oversize.

hmm... I was hoping It was no more than 50,000 pixels. When it was bigger I had to force the sig to show up with the options box. Now it comes up automaticly.. thought it was ok now.. we will see. Sorry for the hi jack of the thread with my techincal problems.


EDIT... lol it didn't show up this time

So tell me what has changed in your life???. I do the same thing that I have done for the past 30 years and nothing has ever changed. The only thing different I have noticed is prices keep going up, but I guess that is the presidents fault right?, just like the gas prices. Like I said, local and state officials control my world, but I am sure you are one of those whiners that complain about everything and blame everything on the president just because you are a loser.

There have been amendments to the constitution in many states banning same sex marriage, while here in Massachusetts, and over on the left coast in California, same sex couples can now legally marry. A federal ban would change the lives of some people.

On September 11, 2001 terrorists hijacked planes from Bostons Logan airport, flew two of them into the Twin Towers, one into the Pentagon and caused one to crash in Pennsylvania. For about a decade before that date there were several terrorists attacks on American interests here and abroad that were considered law enforcement issues and were basicly ignored as a threat to our country. This was a day that changed my life. I'll bet it changed the lives of a lot of Americans.

Illegal immigrants have been flooding this country for a couple decades. Employers are exploiting their cheap labor and the government seems to be on the side of the employers. As a result, people who immigrate to this country legally and citizens of this country are devalued by the illegals willingness to work for low wages. In addition it's become apparent that illegal immigrents are costing tax payers a lot because of increased law enforcement issues, as well as other services they use.

On August 29, 2005 the catagory three huricane, Katrina, made landfall near the Louisiana/Mississippi border. It devestated large areas and left too many people homeless. The flooding tropical rains caused Lake Pontchartrain to breach levees flooding a large portion of New Orleans. This tragedy has been costing tax payers in this country since it happened. It's left a lot of people to suffer and a lot of people who take advantage of the situation.

These are just a few of the things that effect all of us and can change what happens in our lives. You're right, we do have to go on about our buisness, but the choices our representatives in the government make on our behalf can drasticly change our lives. I agree that our representatives at the local level have a more direct effect, but there are plenty of things that can change at the hands of our representatives at the federal level. That's whay a lot of us want to discuss it.
