When I first came to your planet and demanded your homes, property and very lives, I didn't know you were already doing so, willingly, with your own government. I can win no tribute from a bankrupted nation populated by feeble flag-waving plebians. In 2008 I shall restore your dignity and make you servants worthy of my rule. This new government shall become a tool of my oppression. Instead of hidden agendas and waffling policies, I offer you direct candor and brutal certainty. I only ask for your tribute, your lives, and your vote.
-- General Zod
Your Future President and Eternal Ruler

Hehehe... isn't that the vilain in the movie "flash gordon"?

Edit: It's the bad guy from superman II, Saw you idjit!!!

Q. I have seen that another hopeful candidate for the 2008 elections is Christopher Walken (http://www.walken2008.com/). I have been a great supporter of his, but I have much respect for your authoritarian regime. I am unsure which of these two great evils I should vote for. Is there any chance for a political debate during campaign time between you and Mr. Walken? — Beth R.

A. Yes, but can Walken promise you cruel oppression and harsh totality? Why allow him to coddle you with platitudes, only to be disappointed years after the election? I promise you a future of darkness. And it's only in darkness that you see light. I promise you ascent, and elevation, living the life of austerity as you relegate your possessions and lives. Warmed in that monastic aura you shall find enlightenment and happiness. To this I say: Give me your vote, and kneel before Zod!

I think they fantasize of being Americans. Who can blame them.

I'm surprise it took you that long to miss the point lukster.

he's probably not too far from the mark saw. I would say europeans are somewhat envious of what the US is and what we Americans are. as an example I could care less how europeans go about electing their leaders. I haven't a clue about your elections or who your leaders are yet many of you could explain the electoral college to many who live here.

I usually hit what I aim at and only my wife tells me what to shoot at.

Storch, you are wrong on so many levels I don't know where to start. I'm not even talking about myself (I don't qualify as a european... or anything realy) but just looking around me... nope, you are wrong. Maybe you're thinking about africa or eastern yurop?

no saw I'm talking about europeans. you cannot deny that europeans are well versed in the workings of the American political systems often times moreso than the average American. I have spoken with euros here who are up on the current political situation in Florida!!! The intimate knowledge many european posters on this bbs display bear me out. furthermore my interaction here with vacationing euros always leave me fairly amazed at the level of understanding displayed in all things American and especially American politics.

moot: your message is far too cryptic for a simple American, speak your mind boy, spit it out, tell us how you really feel.

I think the same of everyone.
When I was small, there were racist frenchmen; as teachers, neighbours, even girlfriends - true, they didn't like colored skin, but for some unexplainable reason they still fell in.
Then I moved to suburbs, and there, it was the pasty skinned, racist frenchmen that were scum. They fuddled with some two bit reasons to excuse their xenophobia, so sun-baked suburban people felt righteous in responding with, you guess it, a mirror of said xenophobia.

Move to country A from country B, and A's will call you B. Move back to B, and B's will call you A.
On a large scale, there's nationalities, but all the way down to the most inocuous discrimination, like that "snorting geek with taped glasses", it's all the same thing.
Facts are the only thing worth taking seriously, not something nebulous like "disgust".

I don't think the measure of someone by anything else than their intent, and to a lesser extent, their (strictly personal) history is worth taking without a grain of salt.
