New Reality Post?

I was trying to post a new reality post, and I wasn't able to. This time I did make sure I was logged in. Is there something wrong with that portion of the forum? I just needed to vent about the VP pick by McCain...

is Mcain a company?
ahh Mcain you've done it again?
what is VP?
is it like VD?

Not any problems that I know of...

Well, I still don't see the new post button, so I will rant here instead

McCain is our Republican presidential candidate and the smart little booger picked a female vice-presidential candidate to help sway the female voters still upset that Hillary Clinton didn't get the Democratic nomination.

It just means we are one step closer to another four years of hell.

but Obama is black
so he will get the black voters right?
whats the % of voters who are black?
and he will also get the smart ppl
so fingers crossed

Actually, he is not as strong among black voters. He's "out of touch". Most will vote for him because they tend to be Democrats, but a lot were upset that Hillary Clinton didn't get the nomination.

You're right, though, he does get the vote of the "smart people". Too bad that many can't even finish high school here! I just hope that enough women who are upset realize that both McCain and the VP candidate are against ALL abortions, no matter the circumstances. Unfortunately, there is a generation above me that doesn't need to care anymore, and they are the ones who fought for "women's rights".

i think you should move
ur country sucks
no offense
i mean Australia has already had a female leader and so has most the western world
can you answer this without looking it up?
what is the capitol of Australia and what state is it in?

Without looking it up, I'm going for Melbourne. I have no idea the state.

Now I'll go look it up because that will annoy me the rest of the day if I don't.

And a good portion of the non-Western world has had a female leader as well. It makes me sad.

Drat. It was Canberra. Let's play this game more. Actually, I absolutely hate trivia games. Typically females are worse than men at random facts because we focus on the context and history more than the random facts. Not that I know Australian history...

The state is also in the Australian Capital Territory, I created a thread, the tables, to play games in

In My Humbly Opinion, Hillary's a bitch. She doesn't deserve power. And she won't get it. McCain is too strong really, although Obama should win.You tell me it's sad not everyone finishes "even high school".Well, in Mexico there's about a 20% of the whole population, that doesn't know how to read, nor write. And there are senators too, who earn around 20,000 american dollars a month for chatting with other senators... There's a say, that goes "it's always better there, I'm not".

Hahaha, i think i'm the only person here that'll get that coz im a fellow aussie!!

But im gonna have to question your history; i dont think we've had a female prime minister, have we? We currently have a female deputy, but all our states have male premiers. In a few ways, we're still rather behind the game.

UK were one of the first to the mark tho, with margaret thatcher voted in near 30 years ago

have to catch you on a technicality there; ACT is a territory, not a state. It doesn't have its own premier (governer in yankee speak)

Sorry lol

haha
thats why i said state =P
knew they woulndt get it =D
your an ozzy!!
where u from =D
and when rudd went to bali she was acting pm =)
fist female pm yay

and
rev times
washington DC is ur capitol
right?
if so why do i know the capitol of yours but not you of mine?

i don't need to answer that

I could be rude and say it's because Australia doesn't matter on the international stage, but I'll keep that to myself

What scares me more is that I saw more news about the US primary election while I was in South Africa than I did once I got back to the US. It depresses me that most foreigners can talk more intelligently about US politics than most of the people I meet on the street.

haha
Australia does matter though
and will do so more in the future than the US
we are the pushing force behind the Asian equivalent of the EU
we have more than a third the world yellow cake =D
are dollar a month ago was just as strong as yours

the real reason is (!!!NO OFFENSE MEANT!!!)
but i know the capitol of your country and you not mine
as in general to a citizen of the US only the US matters.
your are a country of Xenophobes.

No offense taken. I somewhat agree, though I think it isn't xenophobia as much as arrogance. I actually ended up with my college major because I had never really learned about Eastern Europe in school.

But, yes, the US's time has come and gone. We just haven't realized it yet.

Technically speaking, I was right in what I said, I didn't answer the question, but I said the STATE (in which the capital lies) is in the Australian Capital Territory

i dont getwhat you mean burt but ok =D

wow
not only is she female and on the net, she is a yank and knows there arrogant
wow
i thinnk you need to be put into a breeding program =P

AND I cook quite well. Quite the catch, ain't I?

Perhaps that's why the only guys who ever want to date me here are the foreigners. They appreciate "true" beauty

That and the fact theyre too busy watching NASCAR, drinking crap beer and shooting things to hear you talk your 'commie smart speak'. Or vote for that matter.

Tho I'd have to say, the fact that in america voting isnt compulsory has to contribute a lot. I'll be honest, i couldntve told you a thing about aussie politics before i was voting age, and the big reason for that is i never thought about politics. Sure, theres a difference between not being able to vote and not needing to, but still.

Oh, and jesusguy, i'm from sydney, botany to be exact

That's actually a really good point Kalashnikova. If you have to vote it might make you think about the issues more thoroughly.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that would necessarily be the case here. The entire education system would need to be overhauled because we are almost isolationist in the way things are taught. We talk about other nations having inaccurate textbooks (been in the news regarding Iraq, of course), but I am always amazed at how many people say something and that's "what their teacher told them". I often "re-educate" relatively intelligent people on topics I am confident in my knowledge.

I worry that an uneducated populace voting is worse than the majority of the populace voting based on unfounded ideas. So many people just accept what they are told by friends and family. How do you get them to think for themselves and vote the way they truly think best?

haha: *sucking in gasping sound* psssssssssss! cheeky!!

Is it just me or were there no yay Obama comments on this site?
