Congratulations on your brand new President, folks.

Yep, and al-Qaeda supports McCain. lol

I meant no disrespect by my questions, Gadget. I was just curious is all.

I've never lived in a small town. The city in which I live has 3 million people. I think I be very nervous if I lived in a small town where everyone knew me.

Why do you need to be armed? Isn't Orange County an affluent place? Do wealthy folks run about the streets firing on folks when they don't get their way? Do you have a Vote McCain sticker on your vehicle?

Thanks, Jack. How does one get to be an elector? Are the electors elected? Are they paid for their work or is their job a voluntary one?

It sounds very strange but then all systems are kind of weird. French elections seem to take weeks as they have run-off votes after some of the candidates are disqualified. And here in Canada you have to vote for your local representative (member of parliament) if you want to see a specific leader (Prime Minister) become elected.

Thanks for answering my question. Now, about that electoral college.... I never did figure that one out! Who are these collegians and why do they get to say who is the president and not you, the voters?

When will you know who won?

Not a chicken, just concerned about your continuing comfort and perhaps survival in your own community. I used to be active on an atheist website and many members who live in the Bible Belt stated that they were in the closet about their lack of belief when dealing with members of their own communities. Some of them didn't even talk about it with family members. They felt that social and business relationships would be damaged, you see.

That is truly revolting! I can understand your hesitation in posting it.

It would be nice to see that cracker eat his words but all I can see him eating is prescription pain meds. lol

I think marriages can be very elastic and can accomodate a great variety of behaviour; it all depends on what suits the main participants. It is true that my own sexually adventurous behaviour took place during my single years. I am one of those who doesn't like to share my mate. And by the point that I had met my present mate, I had done enough sexual adventuring to last me a lifetime.... And of course now I am an old fart.

It sounds to me like you are a prude. A wide range of topics are discussed on this site besides the band. You chose to stay on this thread even though the subject is mentioned in the title and now you are offended; this was your own choice, not anyone else's.

Vancouver is a great city.

You raise a good point.

:cool2: :eek: :tt2: Plain - Thanks for the vote of confidence for being the unifying factor. One of my gf's and I laugh that we're going to be Prez/VP one day. For example, "when we're Prez, we're going to deport Celine Dion." :tongue: Oh, no! That means we Canucks will get Celine back!! Ugh!!!

That would be very cool.

It seems to me that you use your God as an excuse to indulge yourself in making judgements. There are many, many gay people. That so many gay folk exist must mean something; perhaps they, too, are part of your God's plan. Up here in Canada, gay folks are allowed to marry. Most of these marriages are civil since most churches do not wish to marry same sex couples. And all couples, same sex or otherwise, who choose to live common-law have the same protections and benefits as legally married couples. The sky has not fallen in as a result.

It was a brilliant prank. And she still doesn't know any more about the foreign affairs, it seems. She was given the wrong name for Canada's Prime Minister and, as for Quebec, a province doesn't have a Prime Minister, it has a Premier. Thanks for posting this. I was LMAO, eh.

McCain has anger issues. He is an angry old man. Obama is generally pretty laid back, I have heard. As for giving the finger, it goes to show that he is a man who cares about the hearing impaired. lol

Oh, after the election Beth will likely be pissing in the cornflakes of anyone she comes across who is a Democrat/socialist/liberal.... LOL

I always enjoy your posts, SteveGoad.

Let the churches pay taxes.

I am becoming increasingly irritated by the misuse of the term "socialism." This is a term which has a precise meaning: Socialism is a "movement aiming to establish a classless society by substituting public for private ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange." By this definition, Obama is not a socialist and he is not offering socialism as part or all of his political platform. (And Canada is not a socialist country though some of us are amused when you call us such. We think: oh, class is already beginning to disappear south of the border, eh. LOL)
