Well sit tight Mars, it gets better. The Democrats will be in office for 4 more years.
VC,
My point stands. Don't make the racial statements period. Don' look for excuses for it. Don't justify it by quantity or frequency in surroundings, and just don't, first and for most....start it. Then all of us won't be talking or arguing about it.
"OMG white people get racist stuff too!!" Isn't much of an argument which I tried to illustrate, even if it is true to an extent. No, someone calling someone a backwoods no toothed hick is not ok either. So stamp it out, just like where it happened here, and what has been happening, and it stops.
You are making a lot of mistaken inferences from my post.

""OMG white people get racist stuff too!!" Isn't much of an argument which I tried to illustrate" I didn't say that and wasn't making any argument at all. Again I was pointing out the double standard found on this board, nothing less nothing more.

Okay, my bad, I am a bit emotional with lack of sleep and thought it was a personal. I do think this place needs to start moderating it more. I know it doesn't want to lose members, but I remember a time when I joined here it didn't get too far and people were sent for the door when it began. Or maybe given a cooling off period to think about it.You are making a lot of mistaken inferences from my post.

We need to get back there.
Hey Mars, if you don't want a thread on the election to be about race...then don't bring race into it.
You see how that works?

I will fuck off from it when I feel like. Something wrong man? You okay with playing the racist but don't like being called out on it? You seem mad, Mars. You going to be alright?
Or is it just the fact you got 4 more years of having a Democrat in the oval office?
Forward, yo.
Back to the election...
I've made it clear that I back Obama. He may not have completely accomplished everything he set out to do 4 years ago, but general consensus is that things are turning around. Maybe slower than expected or desired... but change (especially economic turnaround) is sometimes slow.
For some reason, I find it hard to trust Romney. He just doesn't instill that trust that a Presidential candidate should. He has contradicted himself numerous times... he hardly seems fit to play the part of "middle-class champion"... and his background in business and commerce does not necessarily qualify him to handle the delicate foreign affairs that are also important. To think otherwise, IMO, is being short-sighted.
180-Degree changes in government every 4 years is hardly conducive to growth and prosperity. It's called "momentum." It takes 6 months to a full year to stop the momentum of the previous administration and get the ball fully rolling the other way. Between that, and all the finger-pointing that everyone does.... it's a miracle anything gets done in a mere 4 years.
George Jr. got 8 years, and he didn't deserve them. He was still riding the coattails and the fear of post-9/11. It's the only way he would've gotten elected to a second term.
