US Election 2004

[ThePentiumGuy]

Europe would vote for anyone but bush...

Yeah, I can understand why...

 

I guess (i'm reading the results right now) that bush is the winner, its 269-238 or something.. bush needs 1 more vote from the electoral collage to win.

 

I guess you europeans will hate us now :P?

 

I do beleive that we'll get some jobs back, but the majority of jobs will be sent to asia where the quality of work is the same, but you have to pay them a lot less. Seemingly, only the "needed" jobs will be here (doctors, lawyers, policemen....etc), and the "unneeded jobs" such as as software ...etc will be sent to asia. Totally understandable, but eh.. we need some plan "against" this... or spread some propoganda about government benefits if employers use americain employees.

 

I sense another war coming with North Korea [or possibly with Afghanistan/Iraq again]. If we do have those wars, there'll be a major backdoor draft or a real draft... or the army will just create a crapload of advertisements and propoganda ;p.

WARNING: Major Rant/ Steam ahead :eek:

 

The thing is, theres a difference between waging war against terrorists and waging war. Does anyway really HONESTLY think America is safer now that we're in Iraq? We're breeding more terrorists there and other Arab countries that are pissed we are there than before. And I don't blame them, if America was aggressively taken over by China, we'd all do the same thing.

 

And its not Arabs that hate Americans, EVERYONE hates Americans now, because of their foreign policies. Even Canadians crunge when they see what America is doing. America needs to leave the world alone and concentrate on its own problems, imagine if all those Billions had been spent on health reform or on ANYTHING domestically. All the jobs that could have been created, all the highways that could be fixed, all the schools that could have had new books, or the poor neighbourhoods that could have had new scholarships for disadvantaged kids.

 

All you ****ers out there who have big SUV's for no reason (except to drive across town to walmart) are the reason the US feels it needs to be in the middle east in the first place. The US needs to pull everyone back to the states and stop worrying about parts of the world that don't directly affect it. Why is the US being such a hippocrate about Iran and North Korea's Nuclear programs? Why do we think that their leaders are any more of nutcases than George Bush? At least those leaders (although they maybe admittenly repressive), haven't attacked other countries on 'hunches'.

 

I'd understand if Iraq was Mexico or even Columbia, but everything about Iraq just seems so wrong. Greedy ****ing rich republicans is what I say.

 

I'm sorry, I'm really pissed today at Americans (over 50% of you), for making a ****ty decision. I'm packing my bags up and moving to Canada...

 

Only time will tell what will become of this. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :-\

A lot more software jobs will goto India and China, we've just opened an office in India, where the MBA grads with the same experience work for 1/4 of the price researching. But not all software jobs will go overseas, there are some things you have to be in the office to fix, and customer service is becoming more important, some companies are pulling back those call centers because the level of support isn't the same, and its an important factor when buying computers these days.

A lot more software jobs will goto India and China' date=' we've just opened an office in India[/quote']YES ;) - I'm indian.

 

Eh... I have a feeling something's up. According to a (probably bullshti) statement made by Kerry, bush has accepted almost every bill passed to him, he hasn't vetoed one. It IS possible that he got elected because they can ... (this is really crappy wording but..) "manipulate" him by passing whatever bill they want. Blah.. I'll cut it out with my crazy ideas.

 

What we need is a "good" president, the president's we've had so far are ... i'd have to say "Moderate": Bush Kerry and Gore fall into this category I'd say. We just need someone who really does know what he's doing. I wouldn't call either of the candidates "good"... if i could vote, i'd choose the "lesser of the 2 evils" - which, imo, is Kerry (someone's probably angry at me for not mentioning Nader :P).

Find a way to bring back Ronald Reagan.

[neodammer]

The main reason for me supporting Kerry *yes I know elections are over* is because of the shere language barrier Bush seems to have. The leader of a nation should have superb language skills.

[DiverDan]

Bush's third grade language elevates his second grade mentality!

 

No sour grapes here...

Well what can you do now? We all can sit back and be entertained for the next four years!!!
