Don't make extreme claims like that without proof. You can go ahead and believe he is real, but that doesn't necessarily make him so.

Sometimes, people even gather together to discuss him!

Actually, Emporer Palpatine is more real than God. I can see Emporer Palpatine in the movies! I've never seen God. Isn't that something? It might be because he doesn't exist.

mjordan2nd: there are various proofs that God is real, but to make sure i have them right(im not a real good bible scholar), id have to check w/ my pastor.

GravitonSurge: do you also notice how the books you're reffering to is in the fiction section?

Well, it was sitting next to the Bible and I was intrigued....

i think you need to visit the bookstore again and check with an employee that you don't know at all and ask him/her if it belongs in the fiction section. i think you'll find that it wasn't supposed to be in the fiction section.

Grav 2006-02-24 02:43 PM

You're right, it should be in the White House where it can be at home with idiotic easily-led Republican sheep.

There are various proofs that Emperor Palpatine exists as well. George Lucas, did not in fact fabricate the story of Star Wars from his head, he was told the story by what are now known as messiah Jedis. He only made these stories into a movie. I am not sure how I could prove this to you, I'll have to check with my local Jedi Knight.

Not really, considering the Republicans hold the Supreme Court, The Senate, as well as the Presidency. Things are looking pretty republican.

Personally, if you like the way the US is running right now, vote Republican. In my opinion, 95% of them turn out to be asshats. I absolutly cannot stand the way the US is being governed (and I don't even live there!). Its anti-environmental/rights for all people/everything that means advancing the country, and I don't like that. They have made too many errors, and I simply cannot believe that douchebag is still in power.

Thats my views on things.

KagomJack 2006-02-24 07:08 PM

Probably would vote based on platform, but more than likely lean on Democrats.

Lenny: Bush is Republican.

Willkillforfood 2006-02-24 11:53 PM

Currently the government is really screwed. There are a systems of checks and balances which are being circumvented by personal/political interests. Our government is broken.

Checks and balances only mean anything when you have ideological differences within the various branches of government, ergo it doesn't mean jack shit when you have 1 political party dominating all branches of government as they are all mostly united in advancing their party's agenda.

It is semi-comparable to the rise of Nazi power in Germany, as the entire government then was seated by the Nazi party (although their government wasn't as seperated as ours is), so it's not directly applicable, although the similarities exist.

Amusingly enough, they also started a war by invading a sovereign nation, we just use yellow ribbons instead of swastikas.

Lenny 2006-02-25 06:05 AM

Ah shite...50/50 chance and I get it wrong.

----------

At least the Nazi's got into power [almost] legitimately, which is more than you can say for Bush (at least the first time round). Hitler was a leader who was alive at just the right time (wrong time for everyone else...but...that's the way things go). If he was trying to get power today, with the same policies (WWII not having happened), then he wouldn't do it.

It's kinda like Bush being President for a second term. Bush promised to do more against Terrorism than Kerry...right?

quikspy67 2006-02-25 10:00 AM

I'm Canadian, but I'd vote for Democrats.

I'm sure Bush is doing more against terrorism. At least that's what the dozens of his commercials I saw on t.v. said, right? He can shred the Constitution on Broadway if he uses "God" and "terrorism" in the same sentence. So many people in the U.S. do not research their candidates and just vote for them because of their commercials/mind-numbing speeches.

Draco2003 2006-02-25 11:41 PM

What I said about the government being a mixed thing was the history of it. Believe me, I know that the government is messed up now...

And I find it odd/comforting that this generation (or maybe just this collection) of people actually care about what's going on in the government. It almost brings a tear to my eye.

Or maybe it's because Bush is trying to pass a bill that lets the government monitor what is "google'd" and just about everything else you do on your computer...

And today I heard a song that mentioned a good point (dunno the song or singer, but it was hip hop) He said, We got money for wars, yet we can't feed the poor...or something to that effect...

So, yeah.......

Willkillforfood 2006-02-26 12:08 AM

It's this collection of people. The generation is just as screwed as any.

Lenny 2006-02-26 05:29 AM

We are the elite!!

If people started getting podcasts, or texts, instead of having to flick on the news to see what's happening in Politics, then you'd get a lot more voters.
