Is America on crack?

Sorry for the headline - I never really intended to make an account for this forum but as I saw the panick some of you were in (the bad polls) I thought I might sign up and send some positiveness your way.

Anyway, that's not the reason for my headline ;)

Reason is that the more I read/watch with Sarah Palin the more scared I get as a citizen of the world.
Okay, we have people like Palin in Denmark too but they'd never get close to ANY power.
Most of them are put in institutions :D
I may be exaggerating but I see Jim Jones madness in her church (as you call it) - here it would be considered a CULT/SECT.
These people are dangerous.

For crying out loud - you had 8 years of Bush-madness and you want to continue with this?
No, I know you won't but to think this could happen is very scary.

I know you're caught up in "a bridge to nowhere" - but please make sure that we're not going to hell/heaven/whatever by electing a nut case who could be in control of the largest nuclear arsenal in the world...

I would like to end on a postive note.
I was in the Tiergarten watching Obama speak - only about 25 metres from him - he was FANTASTIC.

Boy, America and the world are missing out if he doesn't win.

But he will. He's a winner!

And you guys can and will help him win!

Now I will leave you alone - but I will be back if another bad poll is published :D

PEACE

Gotta keep your drug references current.

And I'm dead serious.

Sugar kills. It ruins your body. It kills brain cells.

Sugar overload kills your pancreas and causes diabetes.

It rots your teeth out and makes you fat.

Read the label before you buy.

High Fructose Corn Syrup sucks.


"That shit will make you crazy."

It's horrible for people.

Especially how the agriculture industry makes it sweet.

Bad news man. I won't eat corn chips, corn tortillas, none of that.

I am a big believer in getting that shit off the shelves.

Our nation's youth is being poisoned and they don't know it.

I know the stuff is bad for me so I treat it like any sugar product - a rare treat for dessert.

Moderation of anything.

I was drinking Gatorade everyday thinking it was healthy for me and I was keeping hydrated.

That stuff is all High Fructose Corn Syrup and water. I was hydrated, but my pants weren't fitting so well after a while, then I read the label and talked to my doctor about it.

I am lucky that I have health care through my employer and I am even luckier that my doctor and I have a great relationship.

with a high degree of accuracy if they are American? It has to do with a protein signature that comes from CORN. Because our cows and chickens are corn fed and there is corn syrup and corn starch and corn blah blah in everything, Americans have a corn protein signature that shows up in our DNA. Creepy, eh?

I did not know that, but I believe it wholeheartedly.

Look the bounce is going to happen the lies are going to be told...at the end of the day we have to smarten up...better yet educate the misinformed. People have to see McCain for what he is....

He's damn near insane...

I just don't think he can control the temper...or his rationale
After what he's been through...It would tear anyone down...and effect them mentally physically and spiritually. 2 out of 3 are common knowledge...I haven't heard much about his religious proclivity
BUT come on...he just spouts off whatever talking point is given to him.

are you trying to offend women? Focus, if you will, on the mooseburgers, not the gender. Thank you for your understanding.

If we were on crack, we'd know how to make this stop.

This is much worse.

Obama-Biden '08.

You're only preaching to the choir here. Try posting it on Free Republic -- those are the Americans you need to
yell at. Did you really think we don't know all of this?

it's always nice to hear from citizens of the world. Can't wait until they applaud us for kicking our crack habit. Oh happy day!

Only the individuals in a country. I'm overlooking my usual annoyance with people associating ALL ethnicity or nationality of any type with one negative stereotype (no matter to which group they belong), but I still say it was a diatribe (largely due to the rather nasty subject line) and his apparent assertion that a board full of Democrats would all agree with the right wing.

Again, I think it would show a lot more gumption if he posted it at Free Republic ... that's the place that can learn a lesson.

If not a downright diatribe, it's damned rude. I would never go over to a board full of Danes and ask them if they were all participating in the Volokh situation. I would consider that rude, just as I consider this.

plebeian. I put America's current situation as due to drunk voting. We don't let people drink and drive. We ought to have a breathalyzer at every polling station.

Insulting? Now, my father often said to me, "Son" he said, "Son, an insult is like a drink. It only affects you if you take it." I think you might be speaking a bit harshly here...and quick to take offense. Just my opinion, of course; but, are you not expressing more concern for your own sensibilities than you hold for another's. I find your attitude somewhat provincial, but certainly not so abhorrent that I would seek to censor your words. I would just encourage you to cultivate empathy.

Blessings.

It's generalizing about a whole people based on the actions of one group. How is that more fair than the idiots who embraced freedom fries because they hate the French? I know there's an infatuation with Europe here but fair is fair. And his post was cruel.

have never agreed with me much, and consider me irrelevant. Sigh. This is my path, not yours; but, I would welcome you upon it were you to seek a guide. Thank you for your thoughts. Anon.

BTW, I'm probably as old as you are.

:hippie:

if our crackhead electorate does the unthinkable - are you hiring? I could really go for some Carlsburg right about now.

It's sacrilegious to say it on the DU, but what else can explain the way the U.S. has evolved.

You're right, nutcases like this should not rise to power. Our Constitution treats fiends with as much respect as everyone else in an attempt to give everyone an equal voice. The problem is half the people are assholes, half the people are stupider than the other half, half the people are more scared than the other half, and our government seems to have been split along those lines.

I think Obama and modern Democrats are smart enough to solve this problem, though. If Obama is elected I hope they are smart enough to really change things. Otherwise it will be more of the same. I'm sure I wouldn't be welcome in other countries, so I'll just have to go on living in the split personality of a country.

:toast:

It wasn't meant as an insult. You can say I just wrote what most people here think when we learn that a nut case could be VP of the USA.
Hell I have been to your country 4 times and met great people there.

And you got it right - it was rhetorical. And we will applaud you if Obama wins - I can say "we" as 90% of Danes are hoping for Obama.
I have visited Republican forums but didn't enjoy being called Marxist/Socialist ;)

PEACE

FUCK YOU!!!! :grr:

They come to the only ones trying to do anything about it, and yell at us simply because we're primarily American. :eyes:

:nuke: :evilfrown:

Sorry.

Peace.

Some of us hate it in all instances, not merely ones that are convenient for us.

Not only does the poster insult all Americans, Americans come in and argue with those trying to defend the saner portions
of our nation. Just an extension of the infatuation, imo.

Sorry,
Peace.

They've defined themselves. Nationalities are comprised of people who live in a given nation primarily by circumstance.

I used "they" for you as an attempt from using a sexist pronoun since I don't know your gender. But you're really not
interested in truth, just hating on Americans because you need to feel superior to someone.

No wonder. I wondered if your condescending attitude would play itself out. Clearly it has. Nothing is more annoying
than someone who has taken their first semester of philosophy. It's sad to see prejudice in anyone but it's unfortunately
part of much of human experience.

With 15 posts or so, you're clearly a troll. Welcome to my ignore list.

Trouble maker. :grr:

1 in 4 Americans are evangelical or lean that way. We can overcome it this time but it is something logical thinking Americans must take very very seriously. Now christianity on its own is fine but this is a very extreme version of it, more blue staters must move to red states and highlight the importance of science not to degrade their faith but enhance it.

any good resources to get an idea about their "movement"...

:puke:

Over the last six decades, Bredesen has prayed with so many presidents and prime ministers and kings that he can barely remember their names. He's the spiritual father of Pat Robertson, the man behind the preacher's vast media empire. He was one of three pastors who laid hands on Ronald Reagan in 1970 and heard the Pasadena Prophecy: the moment when God told Reagan that he would one day occupy the White House. And he recently dispatched one of his proteges to remind George W. Bush of the divine will -- and evangelical power -- behind his presidency.

:puke:

DU, however, is on crack.

lol,

But seriously...
Most of America is smarter than you think... Seriously... Just not the America that is normally represented.
