Reply to What's Wrong With Palin? in Politics Stardock Forums

[quote]This is a great look into what the left is really about, empower women as long as they have liberal beliefs.[/quote] I don't think sexism is an issue. I think it's just that they want to be in power and now Palin seems a tad threatening...so they're tearing down her character. ...but then again I don't really pay attention...I just want it to be over as fast as possible. Though I'm leaning Democrat on this one. ~Zoo

The trustees here just raised our room and board costs by 5%...because you know, when there's a failing economy you just NEED to raise prices on something. Not to mention tuition raises pretty much every year these days. Assholes. [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e] ~Zoo

Reply to So how does this all work? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Short answer: No one really knows. :) Slightly longer answer: Politicians fling crap at each other for a few months, people vote, electoral colleges vote based off of what the population votes, whoever gets the most electoral votes wins. Or something like that. I'm sure someone can explain a bit better. ~Zoo

Hmm...I figure being used for marketing is like paying rent for my blogging. I don't really draw a big audience though...and if I do get outsiders it's probably because of my animal features...and I do those for spreading knowledge, so that works out. I wish JU would be a bit more fine tuned...like the disappearing

In an effort to procrastinate from doing my physics homework, I once again borrow Dr Guy's idea and present you with brilliant* commentary on recent headlines. :D *brilliant may be an overstatement, take it with a grain of salt "Angry Pig Holds Woman Hostage"--headline, ABC News Web site (Australia), Sept. 23 Uh oh, it must've run out of lipstick.

Let'em fail...in business if you can't keep up, you die. Unfortunately if it's a bank it affects a shitload of people...so maybe a bailout is better? Then again, risk is all part of life. Choices, choices... I don't know...I'm not one for all that financial crap. I just worry about paying for college. :P ~Zoo

Eh, I never click on the ads or anything...and I'm not a fan of them peppering my blog....but I don't really see it as a huge annoyance. I can live with it. I suppose I"m just 'meh' on the ads, really. I don't have plans on abandoning JU,...but I do have a blogspot set up...and if a decent bit of the people I know move on to some other place, I'll be sure to keep tabs on ya'll.

[quote]Let's seet, the title says "McCain dead of a heart attack" which would be an important issue since he is currently the nominee for the Republicans so when you say " you tricked me" followed by "I thought this was something important", It somewhat came off as a sick joke.

[quote]After all, are we not technically a Human Race?[/quote] I prefer 'species.' :D Race kind of works in this case...I mean, theoretically if we were to differentiate sentient beings(aliens or fantasy races) that's probably the more acceptable use of the term. You see race all the time in games like that...but using 'race' in the same species is kind of...well, unnecessary and incorrect.

Reply to The Republican disaster in Democrat Stardock Forums

Free market works in theory, just as communism works in theory. However, theories don't often translate well into the real world especially with all the outside factors affecting it. We do have mixed economy...there's government interference in many aspects of the economy...it's what keeps things a little more ordered and buoyant. I'm just amused at how the government's been bailing out businesses left and right recently and yet Republicans still bitch about regulation...
