ok... let me start!

What do you think about Obama being elected for the charge of US president?

by Kiyoshi Midnight 2008-12-08, 12:14

I think the American People finally did something right in their miserable lives.

by **JPB18** 2008-12-08, 12:19

I personaly think that the american people needed someone that cleaned Geroge Bush mess... And they think that it is Obama who is gonna clean that mess...

But, if those cataclism films are right, some large meteor is haeding right now for our planet...

by **Darkwing** 2008-12-08, 12:20

i think he'll be assassinated

2012? Yea, I've heard about that... Hold on.. Wikipedia wants to say a few words.

2012 is claimed by some with New age beliefs to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or alternatively an apocalypse). There is disagreement among believers as to whether 2012 will see an end of civilization, or humanity will be elevated to a higher level.

Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order.

Astrologer John Jenkins has asserted that on this date, there will be "an extremely close conjunction of the northern hemisphere winter solstice sun with the crossing point of the Galactic equator and the ecliptic", an event that will not be repeated for thousands of years.

Several authors have published works which claim that a major, world-changing event will take place in 2012:

The 1997 book The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, an asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.
The 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck discusses theories of a possible global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012, creating a noosphere.
Riley Martin claims that Biaviian aliens will allow passage aboard their 'Great Mother Ship' when the Earth is 'transformed' in 2012.
Terence McKenna's numerological novelty theory suggests a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness.

I wasn't talking about that, but, I was talking that, in the movies, every time a black president, a women, or a too young president is elected, here cames the aliens, the comets, the asteroids, etc, etc, etc... To destroy us/enslave us/eat us!

by Insane Crayon 2008-12-08, 12:37

December 21, 2012? O_O The day after my bro turns......21!!! MY BROTHER IS THE BRINGER OF APOCALYPSE!
:runs and hides:

by Meganew Trek 2008-12-08, 12:39

Anyways, back on topic.

I really dislike Obama, because he would practically introduce socialism into the US!

by Insane Crayon 2008-12-08, 12:44

I don't really care, I just want the Economy fixed.

by **JPB18** 2008-12-08, 12:44

In my country we're a socialist/capitalist Republic! And besides... it would be better if your wild capitalism slowed down a bit! I mean, you know the state of your economy... although the states are still the richest and more powerfull nation, they will sooner or later go down, with such crisis!

my bets on that too

what the USA needs is another Stalin to beat sense into some moronic econmical players. capitalism is even in it's theory BAD.

by Meganew Trek 2008-12-08, 13:33

He's dead meat.

by Earthdeath 2008-12-08, 14:31

by **Darkwing** 2008-12-08, 14:36

something liek that

by Earthdeath 2008-12-08, 14:39

racism these days...it is still in our police force, even after the riots.

by me naam is m 2008-12-08, 16:09

racism is one of these things that can't be eradicated, like extremism and ignorance Mad

WTH? Do you realise how capitalist, anti-communist and right-wing your country is?
The furthest left Obama can take you is middle ground.

exactly.

by **JPB18** 2008-12-08, 16:23

yup... a socialist/capitalist comunity is more effective than both extremes...

Look at some European countries... they have some of the best life qualities

by Shemuel 2008-12-08, 16:26

Especially the high-tax, high expenditure scandinavian countries.

the only problems they have is drinking, and some angry Muslims

we have both, but our alcohol is WAY cheaper and muslims are WAY more numerous

by Jtull 2008-12-08, 16:52

lol I kinda dont care about the US Presidant.

by Philly Homer 2008-12-08, 17:44

I just don't really care about much anymore. Obama... well, like Shemuel said, he won't be able to turn the US into a socialist country, but he'll probably be able to make us resemble some of the more conservative European countries (which are liberal by our standards.)

On a side note, please refrain from talking about religion on this topic. That's the one thing I would like to avoid. Politics, yes. Religion, big no-no.

by Earthdeath 2008-12-08, 17:46

yeah, we always start going into half page posts with religion, and it would be a major off topic.

but i dont really care about american politics, as long as the new president is better than george bush (arse)

always remember what big daddy alka says boys: religious discussions are ALWAYS bad OT

@ ED: better than GW Bush? of course. it's impossible to get worse.

by Insane Crayon 2008-12-08, 17:48

So no 2012 discussion/debate?

by Earthdeath 2008-12-08, 17:50

load of bullocks.now i have said that it is going to happen to p.iss me off.

now let's talk about DJ! Twisted Evil

2012 is okay. I just said nothing about religion. As in nothing explicitly about religion. Mayan religion says 2012 = end of the world? So do other things that have nothing to do with religion.

I don't really buy into that "Armageddon is going to happen on Dec. 21, 2012" thing though. I just live like however I want and if the world ends on that day, then whatever.

by Insane Crayon 2008-12-08, 17:54

@ MNIM

Well, I find it creepy that my brother turns 21 the day before.....

I will never look at him the same again...

i seriously bet this is going to happen the way my luck is.im lucky on small insignificant things but when it comes to the big stuff i always have bad luck.

by me naam is m 2008-12-08, 18:05

LOL

well, mayans are rumored to have had contact with alien civilisations...

by Philly Homer 2008-12-08, 18:07

Aliens... what a bunch of bull. *rolls eyes*

by Meganew Trek 2008-12-08, 18:07

Well, let's talk about Aliens and UFOs.

Are they real?

by me naam is m 2008-12-08, 18:10

by Philly Homer 2008-12-08, 18:11

All you have are grainy, extremely bad quality videos of blobs flying through the sky. It means nothing.

Aliens? I'll believe it when I see proof of it, just as in anything else.

by Jtull 2008-12-08, 18:13

the probiblilitys of aliens existing are so high its pointless to even think about aliens existing.

by Philly Homer 2008-12-08, 18:17

You're right. After all, you're here so aliens must exist.

by Earthdeath 2008-12-08, 18:18

what?
but aliens probably do exist somewhere.what are the chances of Earth being the only inhabited planet, by if not just intellegent life, any kind of life, no matter how dumb.
and anyway, they found some kind of bacteria on mars.

by Jtull 2008-12-08, 18:19

well im only half timelord.

by me naam is m 2008-12-08, 18:19

oh, we might rephrase the discussion point in 'aliens on earth'

by Philly Homer 2008-12-08, 18:21

Jtull is one. So is Paris Hilton. Both deserve to be deported, in my opinion.

by Jtull 2008-12-08, 18:21

yea dose DJ get into that catigory?

by Earthdeath 2008-12-08, 18:22

LOL.
what about michael jackson?we should just deport him for being a paedophile...and looking like an alien, whatever the hell they look like

by Philly Homer 2008-12-08, 18:23

Michael Jackson, yes. Unless he decides to turn into a black man again, then he can stay. And he has to fix his nose as well...

by Jtull 2008-12-08, 18:24

yea we are aliens when ya think about it.

by me naam is m 2008-12-08, 18:25

LOL

no, if you were an alien you would have perfect spelling due to translator device. Razz

by Jtull 2008-12-08, 18:27
