Fortunately, I don't need to have been based in the USA to realize quite how much of a fool was "elected" to the American Presidency. You see, GW made an embarrassment of himself on an international as well as a domestic stage, meaning that even we hicks in the middle of nowhere are aware of his diminshed intellect.
I'm not saying that Joe Biden is going to get himself a nobel prize for science any time soon, just that you may want to look within your own house before throwing accusations of idiocy around. Or, to paraphrase some religious book, let they who are without sin cast the first stone.
I've got a funny/horrifying story about that phrase (delete as applicable).
I went to a Church of England secondary school. It was a nice, new school (I was the second year to start there) but it wasn't in the best part of town. We used to have vicars come in regularly to do talks for our morning assemblies, they were always shite but only went on for around 20 minutes.
One day we walked into the assembly hall and saw stones on every seat. Not that small either, they were a decent size. There were only years 7 and 8 in the hall, maybe around 200 kids, all with stones on there seats. We sat down and the vicar did his bit. After a while he said "now I believe you should practice what you preach, and as I have sinned, I'm going to lie here and say to you all "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." If you can say in good conscience that you have not sinned, feel free to cast your stone on me". He lay down. Everyone looked around, confused. After about 10 seconds of silence I heard someone say "fuck it", then they stood up and threw their stone. It was like a domino effect, one went and everyone else followed. For about 30 seconds there was just the sound of stone hitting wood as this poor vicar got stoned at the front of the hall. We got a bollocking for that.
in case some of you are curious the meaning of the story is this
Jesus was saying "... without sin be the first to throw a stone ..." while he was writing on the ground of the temple with his finger. The temple ground was made of stones, so Jesus was engraving on stones just with his finger. The bad guys retreated (or did not throw the stone ) not because they got so rational all of a sudden, and realized they all were also sinners. Hell no. They got scared of a person writing on stone which was a direct hint to God who wrote/engraved 10 commandments on the stone. The message of Jesus to these self-righteous jerks was "who are you to tell me about the law when it was I who gave it in the first place"
THis pastor in the above story apparently did not take time to really udnerstand what was written in the bible and got taught a painfull lesson

I think you are abusing your position as forum gay. You get away with blue murder. You don't like bums or bumming, even warning people with your homophobic signature. That is not what you were voted in on. You led a corrupt campaign in which Ryanman was clearly paid as chief spin doctor to mislead the voting public. You campaign with flamboyance and then spend your term in office abusing your position of power to invade other threads and demand the undivided attention and pity of other posters with your megalomania. I am not even sure you are who you say you are. Your student Card does not say 'Gandalf' and you were not born in the country from which you ran for office. There are even rumours you have a wife.
If one wishes to depose me of my rightful title, then there are means and ways. I am always open to a new vote and at any time. I don't rule as a despot monarch nor a tyrannical President, I believe in the will of the informed masses and they will make the correct decisions. I am not going to stab anyone in the leg with a twig and tell everyone you are either with me or against me. No, not I.
