[QUOTE=Carnage2323;37451558]Too bad voting for a 3rd party is "throwing your vote away"[/QUOTE]
It is. And the voters aren't to blame. It's this damn FPTP system we use for elections that encourages a two party state and makes it basically impossible for 3rd parties to win. Added to that is the Electoral College, which makes individual votes matter even less, and the massive campaign budget a presidential candidate needs in order to be sucessful, a third party candidate could never hope to raise even a fraction of what the two major parties raise.
And that's exactly the way the two major parties want it. Why would you want 4 or 5 opponints when you can have just one?

That's not true democracy then.
I who thought that the American dream was having a house, wife, dog, children, nice car and being self-employed.

Nice to now that the American dream is still considered to be one from the 1960's.

Not necessarily a wife, not necessarily a car, not necessarily a dog, and not necessarily any kids. Employment's pretty good though.
Why not just fine the dumbass women who constantly get pregnant only to get it aborted? (Not including rape, or so.)
And then why not just allow more, committed couples to legally marry? It only encourages them to work together for a living, and that's good for the economy.
Why is running the world so fucking hard?

that's an amazing idea wow
"Get raped with a condom!"
Ace advice there chief...
"We want the true American dream! Equality, opportunity, integrity!"
"But Mr. Romney, what about the gay people?"
"Nah."
[QUOTE=Protocol7;37451353]Dude I don't know about you but when I think about all these gays having gay butt sex, I can't help but cry myself to sleep
No really though, I'm tired of all this "gays ruin America" shit. Prove it! Or is this just plain old dogmatism at its finest...?[/QUOTE]
Your post made me imagine republicans thinking about gay sex every passing moment, which makes them feel sexually confused, and being confused makes them angry. So their logical course of action is to direct that anger towards the gay folks (which they think about [I]a lot[/I]) so that they can one day ban gays from murrica, and hopefully stop thinking about gay buttsex.
Wait, that actually makes perfect sense.
[QUOTE=Gekkosan;37452849]Why not just fine the dumbass women who constantly get pregnant only to get it aborted? (Not including rape, or so.)[/QUOTE]Who do you seriously think gets more than one abortion? Deciding to abort a child is not something anyone takes lightly, I'd up there with choosing to kill yourself.
[QUOTE=Gekkosan;37452849]Why is running the world so fucking hard?[/QUOTE]Civ5 has a difficulty slider, real life doesn't.
I can't sleep at night knowing there are men having butt sex outside.

Do you have any idea how costly it is, as is, to get pregnant and get aborted? Not only that, but repeatedly doing this also potentially takes a toll on your health/sanity.
Let them do what they damn want, the last thing they need is being taxed, and I think everybody will agree that overpopulation is already as bad as is.
-snip- Changed My Mind
I still don't know why people put gay marriage and abortions in front of actual fucking problems that are making the lives of many people a living hell.

The republicans might consider that a real threat because the victim couldn't get pregnant.

I'm just gonna let you know that this is probably the dumbest thing I have seen from facepunchers in a while.
yeah, everyone should have the american dream!!!
except gays
also i dont know what seperation of church and state is
[QUOTE=venn178;37451536]You know what scares me even more than this election? The next one. We won't have an established democratic president with minority appeal to re-elect, so what's stopping the GOP from just enacting all of this bullshit in four years?[/QUOTE]
If something like that happens, then I hope that there will be some kind of an uprising from all the bullshit that will be enacted on the populance. Preferably not something like a full-scale revolution, but something that would make every bit of the government-body shake from terror and do what everyone asks for.
"Gay sex is a Sin, So best to make sure it is also out of wedlock too."
Saying that gay marriage devalues traditional marriage is like saying you can't enjoy your sandwich because your neighbor eats his with mustard and you prefer mayonnaise.
My american dream is to go to New Zealand for college and possibly longer.
My American Dream is to finish college and own a herpetarium/nature center. But I cant have gays looking at my turtles, my whole dream is ruined! And lord knows I cant complete college with girls having abortions, if there is one thing that will prevent college drop outs it is banning abortion.

Marriage isn't just a fancy way to say you live with someone and have the same last name, it has BENEFITS, you fucking mook.
What if we started a campaign to write emails with our "American Dreams" to show how at least for the majority of young Americans our dream is not threatened at all.
Worst thing is, there is unfortunately a lot of people who would actually believe this shit they spew...
I thought we already knew that the American Dream was reserved for middle-aged, affluent, heterosexual white guys.
