Despite multiple topics alluding to your avatar as being obnoxious, I didn't say anything. But since you asked..Straterra wrote:Would anyone get offended if I use this buddy icon as my avatar? (Look at my current one)

Well, its a tricky situation here in the US.Dr Evil wrote:I'm in Europe so not fully aware of the Bush vs. America situation.
What do people around you think ?
That's what our neighbours, the French, were told when they expressed their opinions on Iraq.If you arent with us, you are against us
I try. I also try to be somewhat impartial. While I personally think Bush is the worst president in the HISTORY of the US, I know that there are some key, legitimate issues that only he will support. Some people simply will not vote for anyone that will do anything short of banning homosexual marriage.Dr Evil wrote:Gosh !!
Thanks for that. I never expected such a full opinion. You are visibly very "up to date".
I've heard similar. I don't think its that simple. Bush is a complex guy. While he can be rather simple, mentally, he also has a keen understanding of voters and how to win the election. Whether that is thanks to his cabinet, I dont know.Dr Evil wrote: I live in Switzerland and over here in Europe Bush is gettimg a very bad name. He is considered a joke or a puppet of his dad and friends.
Thats horrible. As a citizen, I deeply apologize for that view. (I of course defend his right to have that opinion and express it, even though its idiotic). Thats a complete shame. Perhaps the writer should look in the NYC harbor and view the gift France gave us ever so long ago, honoring us, and symbolizing their respect for us. Either that, or remove it as a national landmark if the issue is so serious/widely-felt (its not).Dr Evil wrote:That's what our neighbours, the French, were told when they expressed their opinions on Iraq.If you arent with us, you are against us
People were very hurt in Europe when a certain American press said France had forgotten how the US had helped in WWII and that they were traitors.
Beleive it or not, Fox isnt the major threat here. Its "Clear Channel Communications". A huge radio mega-conglomerate that has expanded to every market in the US practically. Thanks to Bush, the current FCC relaxed the rules on station ownership. As a result, in some markets, CCC owns multiple stations - so you simply have no other source for news.Dr Evil wrote: What access do you have to independant news ? Does FOX control all the info ?
