ragnarok1945 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 maybe, but I guess that'll also have to depend on their view of the public I don't know how much of it is just plain hollywood BS, but there's been more than enough films where politicians sees the public as nothing but a bunch of mindless retards who believe everything that comes out of their mouth without question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 [quote name='Hydra of Thunder' timestamp='1321508730' post='5648127'] I'm starting to think you people are blowing this [i]sliiiiightly [/i]out of proportion. All of the countries you listed have nearly, just as or a more of a screwed up economic situation/political situation as America does. You just don't know about it because you don't live there. Stupid bills come every now and again. Occasionally they pass. Usually they're never enforced, or if they are, it's a short matter until the courts strike them down. [/quote] It's not just this bill I'm worried about, it's the state that the entire country is in, and the fact that it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

[/quote] Then I'll sue them for touching me. But in all seriousness, this is retarded doesn't affect 90% of the world, can't be enforced, won't pass, and it further proves America is run by a bunch of incompetent fools.

Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 If it's a bullsh*t move like a lot of people are saying, then it will probably be the political downfall of whoever passes it. Almost like how Republicans absolutely hated Social Security when it passed and vowed to get rid of it next time they got into power. 18 years later, they realized how stupid of a move it would be because of all the people who had made plans based on Social Security. Same situation. If this makes as much of a change as people are seeing, sh*t's gonna go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greiga Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Only on YCM is Obama an evil conservative. Obama does care about the people, and he is trying to help, it's just that all the republicans are going TROLOLOLOLOLO in his face and won't let him pass anything/get anything done.
