many white guys (and everything else) learn, grow, adapt. As we get older we tend to adapt less, and where we came from seems to carry more weight than where we can go. So the moral of the story: you may no longer lead the herd. | |

The History Of White People by N. I. Painter, a non-white woman author, has been On The Shelf, and since there has been all This Disparaging Remarking of Whites, I've decided to dust it off and Read The Screed. | |

Europeans stole a whole damn continent. How can you claim legality? Not just this continent either... ____________ -Dave #2 | |

It seems to me, that a few on the dem side of the fence, now feel free to be rather proud now that their chosen [expletive deleted] has won. | |

Putting to one side this Electoral College thing, the country voted virtually 50/50 for the two candidates. Hardly surprising then that 1/2 the country is unhappy. If we get a hung parliament we can have a coalition, your system doesn;t allow that. Its a voting system by politicians, for politicians. But then again, most state governors run their patch like a private estate, whoever the president is. | |

50% unhappy? read a good part of the south is still very very racist. Like many animals Racists learned you can't walk down the street screaming racial epitaphs at people and get away with it. Racism has take a much more subtle tone. Its there, just waiting. | |

Putting to one side this Electoral College thing, the country voted virtually 50/50 for the two candidates. Hardly surprising then that 1/2 the country is unhappy. If we get a hung parliament we can have a coalition, your system doesn;t allow that. Its a voting system by politicians, for politicians. But then again, most state governors run their patch like a private estate, whoever the president is. The basis for counting presidential election votes has been unchanged since 1972. The last significant changes to election system in the US were the 17th Amendment (direct election of Senators, 1913), the 19th Amendment (Women's right to vote, 1920) and the 26th Amendment (Voting age set to 18, 1971). If anything, the Electoral College inflated the number of pro Romney delegates, Wyoming will send 3 pro Romney delegates, where he collected 170,365 votes (56,788 1/3 votes/delegate), whereas California will send 55 pro Obama delegates, where he collected 5,658,572 votes (102,833 votes/delegate), and New York will send 29 pro Obama delegates, where he collected 3,873,680 votes (133,575 votes/delegate). Winning the majority of the popular vote nationally is not a requirement for winning the votes of Electoral College delegates (e.g. Bush 2000), though it helps, and Obama did both. Your comments about Governors appear to be based on a misunderstanding of how the States of the Union operate. An approximation might be your Mayor of London. Similarly your statements about a "hung parliament" also appear to be based on a misunderstanding of how the US Congress operates, where it is possible for a 3rd party to have the balance of power and form a coalition. ____________ I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... | |

It seems to me, that a few on the dem side of the fence, now feel free to be rather proud now that their chosen [expletive deleted] has won. Actually I find most people on these boards are open to others opinions. We are also open to exploring facts. ____________ -Dave #2 | |

And before you give me any ####, just remember that about 48% of the US voters agree with ME, you damned, ignorant, snotty liberals. I may be "damned" and I may be "snotty", but I personally take issue with the charge of "ignorant". | |

It seems to me, that a few on the dem side of the fence, now feel free to be rather proud now that their chosen [expletive deleted] has won. On these boards most are. Elsewhere I can't repeat the posts as they are not kid friendly, trash talk worse than at a sports bar after a few pitchers of beer have been consumed. Yet those people "want compromise" or so they say. They better look in the mirror. They are going to get exactly what they give. Isn't that the golden rule? <edit> Dipping your toe into Politics Angela? Angela for Alameda County Board of Supervisors! ____________ | |

Yeah, I guess it is.It seems to me, that a few on the dem side of the fence, now feel free to be rather proud now that their chosen [expletive deleted] has won. But there is a highly pissed off almost 50 percent of the nation to deal with right now. And I, and they, are going to be watching very closely.

Hey, libs......while your are at it, I want my 4 cats fixed (uhh, I already did that on my own, can you reimburse me at 4 times the amount) and my computers running 24/7 because I have this chemical imbalance when I am not pumping out over 10.000 watts of Seti programming. | |

Angela.......yes, I have rather hellish brain chemical imbalances.......every day, almost. Mark, my friend, thinking just so happens to be one of my favorite past times! I have no doubt that crunching is one of the ways you self-medicate from psychological pain. I suppose it is possible that crunching may have even progressed to the point of addiction for you, actually making crunching contra-indicated for you in your pursuit of better mental health. You also self-medicate with kitty-love. You used to self-medicate with tobacco. You have been quite public about your struggles self-medicating with alcohol, and Mark, my heart breaks to know how much pain you must experience day after day after day. There is a wide body of medical research on the causes of addiction and its treatment. I hope there are programs and medications already available to you as a part of your current medical insurance plan that may be of assistance to you and/or to others who struggle with such pain. I hope you are able to avail yourself of these benefits someday, but even if you never do many people here will still accept and even love you as our project's own treasured Kittyman. There is a wide body of research on transgender issues. That is why some medical plans are starting to add sex-change operations to the benefits they offer. I do not believe there is a body of research that supports crunching as an efficacious treatment for your condition. Consequently I am not surprised that your medical insurance does not subsidize your power bill. | |

Lead singer of the band "Against me" wants a sex change because he's a lesbian trapped in man's body... I actually think it might be fun to have tits at the rest of the taxpayer's expense. I got a bit of a pair of manboobs going on now, could I apply for enhancement? ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."

Lead singer of the band "Against me" wants a sex change because he's a lesbian trapped in man's body... Just claim it as a "right" and you're sure to get it through Obamacare. (I would advise against this though because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be happy with the results.) | |

Lead singer of the band "Against me" wants a sex change because he's a lesbian trapped in man's body... Hey, I always had floppys on all my computers.......
