the celebrities should shutup, but I dont necessarily think Bush is a very intelligent man.

(apr 10 03)You may think they're assholes, you may think they open their mouths just because their agents tell 'em so (tho that's highly doubtable as long as open your mouth to say that you don't support the war only may cause you problems in such a conservative industry as Hollywood), but why should they shut up? Isn't your country free? People's not supposed to have freedom of speech? C'mon... If they wanna talk, let 'em talk, right? At least you really want a fascist regime (seems like many americans would have no problem with that, such a shame). Remember, fascism can come disguised as the "greatest form of democracy" ;)

elektro, you assume entirely too much.
Have you ever been to America? You seem to be an expert on American Culture.

(apr 10 03)What am I assuming? That your country's facing a new era of McCarthyism where any voice critic to your government's acts is bashed, if not silenced? If so, yes, I'm assuming that ;) It has nothing to do with american culture and you know that. Why some americans take these things so personally? You should be pissed off at the peeps who want you and your fellow americans to have no privacy and no voice, not at me... :) I'll say it once again, tho my mouth hurts yet... I love America, I just hate the people in power right now (as much as I hate people in power in Spain, my country). Easy as that. I'm not anti-american (in fact I laught at those "left-winged" morons who bash on anything coming from your nation). But nowadays seems like if you're against the US government, you're against the whole USA's people. That's such a stupid simplification... The kind of simplification your government wants.

ok ok ok, elektro. Im sorry we started off all wrong here. I see what you mean, but there isnt much anyone can do, inside or out of the U.S. but you were calling for death to soldiers the other day and it hit me kindof hard. No hard feelings man. I realize the frustration that everyone feels regarding this war, but no amount of bashing will change it. The only thing that will is voting I guess, if that can even be trusted anymore...
btw, I loved the link from your site to the lego guys rolling that spliff.

(apr 10 03);) Yeah, I'm sure we've all told things we regret. Damn fuckin' wars... The other day when this spanish cameraman got killed I was so pissed off... Anyways, on the voting subject... Well, apart from the fact pointed out by you that voting is not to be trusted anymore... I don't know, even if it was something trusty I don't think Bush will lose next elections. You know, winning a war always helps (tho his father also won and lost the elections after). The sad fact is that I don't see any charismatic democrat leader able to kick Bush out of power. I'm sure a lot of americans miss Clinton... So what if that fat bitch sucked his dick? OK, there were more issues than that which made people lose their faith in him, but let's face it, when you talk about politicians it's impossible to find someone TOTALLY CLEAN, if you know what I mean ;) I think Clinton did it quite good apart from all the scandals and whatnot... And I am damn sure that he would have handled the post-9/11 situation a lot better than Bush.

I don't think anyone ever argued that Hollywood is a think thank or a pantheon of knowledge.
True, a lot of those people are morons.
But that doesn't make the fact that this administration (mainly Bush and Cheney) are a couple of pricks.
I don't know what Bush's IQ is. He may be the smartest man in the world, but he sure talks like a retarded redneck. And as for the ethics and world views, even if they're smart, they're wrong. You can be smart and unethical.That long ass paragraph at the beggining of this thread is just one huge straw man argument.
It's a pity stupid people are impressed by school names, degrees and big words like "misunderestimated."

Lawyers also get alot of high-fancy-smancy degrees..
would you believe every word they say?
- chilaquil0
um... no, but i believe every word politicians say...
:-)
LOL

regardless of my stance on global politics and the role of international finance in developing economies, I just gotta say that people on the left are just as stupid as those on the right. both sides have INCREDIBLE biases and that just will not stand.
I am happy in the middle of the road.

my point is just because someone has legally earned their 'smarts' doesn't mean they just became a supreme being, nor should we be led to believe every single word they are to announce. Politicans are just as sleezy as any ordinary human being, that goes for lawyers, actors and liers of all sorts.
Do you believe that every single Police officer in the US will serve and protect justly and that no innocent will come into harm? that they will never lie, never cover any evidence, and never obstruct the system of justice?

so you mean to say there are no stupid people that are middle of the road?
pffft...
some people are middle of the road because they don't know anything. I'm not saying that's your case, but if all the smart people were in one camp and all the stupid people in the other, it would be a lot easier to make decisions...
- Sapphire0
who me?
- badzenjt0
i dont remember saying that there were no stupid people in the middle of the road, I am just saying that the farther you go in either direction, the stupider you get. most issues are not party-aligned....
- Sapphire0
ah, the umbrella of political stance.
there are average right wings and average left wings, then there are extreme right wings and left wings...
... its not which side you take, its how far you go.. and in this case.. too far is not good.
