Actually 24 states have laws that make it illegal for electors to go against the will of the popular vote of the state, in the other 26 it is customary for electors to bow to the will of the popular vote. And technically, you are voting for electors pledged to vote for a certain candidate. Current t...

http://superpoop.com/ANOTHER-RACIST.jpg http://www.mccaincomics.com Soooo, being a Democrat and voting for McCain automatically makes you a racist. Way to be bigoted OneThirty8. I'm actually ashamed of you right now. I didn't vote for Obama either. Because he voted yes to give a $700bn blank check ...

Warning: May be blunt.

50 hours of required community service would've prevented me from graduating. Living in the boondocks 20 to 30 minutes drive from any community I could be servicing when both of my parents work (one as a commercial fisherman who can be out for up to two weeks) makes it rather difficult. Assuming tha...

It's not that I want to see two right-winged parties, it's just that out of the two major parties the Republican party is the more fractured at the moment. I would like to see actual liberal and centrist parties with real political clout (the Democratic party is more center-right than anything real...

That's a damn shame. I'll be glad when the rest of the old-guard Senate leaves. Ted Stevens represents the worst kind of pork fueled cronyism in politics.

I'm just hoping that the Republican party is fractured enough to splinter into two smaller, equally powerful parties. Maybe absorb a couple of the smaller, conservative third parties. That way, we have something closer to a real choice in four years. I don't know. It's debatable whether having two ...

|darc|, that sounds interesting, but... Marriage is always a civil union, and optionally a religious sacrament. The way you put, a straight atheist couple can not get married either. I understand they would get the benefits under a different name; but the "being married" has a social, sym...

I'm sure that's the headline some places gave =P After Shawn Turschak saw two sets of McCain-Palin signs disappear from his yard within hours of being planted, he took steps to protect the latest pair. On Monday, he ran wires from his house and hooked the signs into a power source for an electric p...

Nader/Gonzalez for President.
Don't like Landrieu or Kennedy, so I voted third party just to show support for non-mainstream parties.

When projections and Intrade both started showing Obama at 300+ electorals, I figured it was a done deal. And that was well before the actual election. Either way, Obama is probably going to be a one-termer. I don't think anybody could pull this country out enough of this mess in four years to be ab...

Prohibiting gay people from being able to get married potentially violates the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. If there is a religion that allows for gay marriages, you then could not fully practice that religion in California. Even if there is not a religion that allows for gay m...

Seth MacFarlene has too many shows on that line-up. I don't see how people think he's so funny. He just uses like 15 clips throughout an entire Family Guy episode to help aid the weak liberally-biased. Here's where I stopped reading. People who use "liberal/conservative" and "bias&qu...

Nice work GyroVorbis.

Ah, song lyrics. There's no argument against that.

I'd say that is true about half the time.

$1000 (plus the costs of the procedure, etc.) is far cheaper cost than the cost of WIC/welfare/etc that a child will receive over the lifetime. Let's also keep in mind, this isn't even abortion, it's sterilization. That's why they want to do this, to make sure the welfare system doesn't become so o...

Also, where would these $1,000 come from ? They probably would just take it from the money they'd otherwise use for education, or health care or whatever. Or pay everyone else LESS welfare ? What a great solution: To prevent poverty from being born we increase poverty for those living. $1000 (plus ...

A few questions. How is this eugenics? Is poverty now a genetically inherited trait? And pixel, shame on you for dragging out sex-ed/condom arguments in here. The ability for a person to do something does not mean that they are going to do it. Plus, the people they are offering this to weren't gener...

Hmm well I guess it's the waiting game then, becuase a lot of games aren't working I rescently bought No More Heroes and it shows the same error screen, SST did. http://savemii.net/images/chart_c.png So I have to wait for System Update 3.4. I knew I shouldn't have bought the Wii but when Umbrella C...
