I think he would have made a decent vice-president; Paul Ryan is a little dodgy. What kind of Republican, and 42 year old for that matter, listens to RATM?

Mephostophilis Sep 4, 2012 3:16 AM #4

And here I was thinking Ryan and Kyle were the only (male) names that didn't have any other nickname way of saying them (unless Ryaneth and Kyleth or some shit like that counts).

Having a veteran for VP sounds cool, though, whereas for president there's Obama and that one really rich guy who probably got in off money idk.

I'm too American to know jack shit about politics or any of them terms. But then again you can also be too American to not I guess.

The next couple months should make for some decent entertainment, at any rate.

Who knows what could happen. It's 2012 after all.

Mephostophilis Sep 4, 2012 4:42 AM #6

Decent entertainment...kind of like those Cookie Monster cookie therapy control vids you linked months ago XD.

I don't know why 2012 is such a big deal or what Ol' Saint Greg's calendar (or the Mayannaise, whichever it's called) is, but I do know that 2012 is the Year of the Dragon in the eastern zodiacs. In Chinese, the Dragon is the most merited or gifted of the twelve signs, while its polar opposite, Dog, has birth years 2006, 1994, 1986, counting down by twelves.

2000 was the last Year of the Dragon of that millennium, and this is the first instance where power and leadership are re-awoken upon this one.

Sorry XD, as I said I'm too like American or whatever to understand any of the shit on a political level. All I can do is borrow Inspector Gadget's unhintful magnifying glass and eerie-eyeball what the end of the year looks like.

I did hear that guy running against Obama basically wants to lower government payments done by the rich people or whatever.

I dunno about 2012 either, tho perhaps it could turn into something of a self-fulfilling prophecy

Even without that aspect, the geopolitical environment suggests disruption, both economic and military; even the weather's fucked up these days

As for the politics, even the campaigns are escalating;

first you have Michelle Obama's black widow dress to consider, then this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2j2X27FXh0

Even though that video was only a minute long, I still didn't really get what it was about xD.

Something about Romney winning Michigan from Obama in the election, so ZOMG FIRE UP ATTACK MODE, doesn't say anything about that or what it is, end of video? lolz, besides all those political YouTube comments that I understand even less, I'm starting to think politics is just a game of name-calling...

Mephostophilis Sep 4, 2012 3:15 PM #9

Hell, nationality by itself is a game of name-calling.

I've never had any thoughts for or against anyone based on what country they live in.

...Besides America maybe XD those fucking 'tards.
:rolleyes: lots of hot chicks, though

I have, an adoptive grandfather, who's anti-Democrat and conservative all the way. He would always use white lies or pretend-real stories to convince me and my mother of things in the PC world that he only assumes are true (like GIF is always smaller than JPG, never use cookies to remember your site passwords), and he always blames problems in this country on the democrats.

"One of the disadvantages to not involving yourself in politics, is that you let the inferior party govern your life style."
or something like that as he quoted, by the philosopher Plato

Never got to know him that well otherwise. He's from Canada, though (at least his parents were). Him and legend would get along great, and understand all that political shit I know nothing about. :D
