    America is fucking awesome...

    We have a guy in Sweden watching a senate race in Texas, and is rooting for a candidate!
    It's because your country is far from "fucking awesome", I'm rooting for you as a country to do something sane for once.

    "LETS INVEST IN COAL AND REMOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE FROM THE EPA" <-- sounds sane.
    I admire your interest & knowledge of our political nightmare and appreciate all your contributions to this forum ...thanks 
    I love the Swede too!

    Anybody that loves Neil Young is automatically good in my book

    "america is the greatest country in the world, everyone should pay attention to us and love us and thank us for all we do for the world!"

    *pays attention*
    "um, sorry, you're not the greatest country in the world"

    "it's none of your business! you aren't even from here!"
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Someone who voted for a climate-change-denier should feel shame about using smileys like that or about voting for someone like Cruz.
    Hahahaha Get out the vote!!! So long as you vote like me!!


    Actively voting for denying climate-change and such is on another level than "vote for what I think you should vote for".

    But maybe you have a hard time understanding that.
    He went and voted for 1 of the candidates on the ballot. You can disagree with his vote, but I thought we wanted everyone to vote?

    Yes everyone should vote that does so based on an independent examination of the issues that will benefit our community at large and not to vote based on tribal instincts.
    Oh ok, they shoulda vote as long as they vote for the reason you think they should vote. Got it.
    No, you did not.

    The point is, tribalism is not freedom

    I had a conversation about Cruz with a guy from Ireland living in Canada this morning. He said, "I just hope Ted Cruz loses." I said, "Man, I hate that guy!" He said, "Everyone does!" :lol:

    Wouldn’t surprise me if Cruz wins, even by a landslide would not surprise.

    Didnt Beto get busted for a DUI ... if so, I have no use for the dude.

    Yeah, in 1998, in his mid-20s, and the charges were later dismissed because of his compliance with the law .... If that makes you write off a person for life no matter what they did since that, that's actually pretty pathetic. And yes, I would say that no matter who the person was (since the most important part of that is "no matter what they did since that").

    Yeah, really.
    You going to sit there and pretend you've never driven under the influence?  I won't buy it.

    It’s not pathetic...in today’s world if you drive drunk you are a loser.  This is the 50s, 60s or 70s ... people who get behind the wheel boozed up are a menace to society.  I happen to feel 1 conviction should be a 5 year driving ban, permanent Loss of your commercial licence, if you have.  Permanent driving ban on a second convictions.  Of course he got off on a technicality, money and influence often runs us courts.

    He didn't get off on a technicality, and show me any evidence at all that money and influence came into play. I feel like you're just making things up again.
    Also, he didn't do it in today's world. I am about his age, so remember very well what the culture was like in 1998, and practically fucking everyone with a car was still drinking and driving regularly at that point in time. Times have most certainly changed since then... and he changed right along with them. He's been utterly repentant about that, and has never shied away from owning what he did. You're just clinging onto it because it's him specifically and, well, you're Meldown99, lol.

    technicallity? the charges were dismissed after he completed a court-mandated DWI program, a year after he was arrested. how do you go from a legit court ruling to a technicality, money and influence? LOL

    By just building facts out of uninformed assumptions. He does it all the time. It's how he forms most of his opinions, lol.
