I would love for Green Bay to go to, and maybe win the Super Bowl.

Also peace on earth and stuff, even though I don't think it's going to happen.

Tolerance too. Just because I don't do things your way doesn't mean you have to hate me for it.

No more Wars.
And respect in my community...bullies are ftl.

Wow 50% of all the comments here are about Guild Wars, that says a lot about the community and their awareness of the real world.

I'd like for a Republican to win the election, Hilary Clinton is too socialist, I hope she dies. Ron Paul seems like an alright candidate but seeing as how his fans are all 18-25 years of age he's probably gonna be a helluva long-shot

As for sports I'd like to see the Colts win the Super Bowl, after watching my home team of Tampa Bay lose to the Giants 5 minutes ago, I doubt the Patriots could beat the Colts again.

Bush has failed no hope for him, but I hope the next president isn't a hippy but isn't a warmongerer who invades countries to spread imperialism. I also hope that the rest of the world stops complaining about the U.S. just because we have our act together and they don't.

What I really really want though is tolerance not for just Islam, if schools raise the Kuran to the top of the room so it's the highest book, then the bible should likewise be respected. If they can burn American flags, then we should be able to show Mohammad on T.V. or newspapers.

You will find that nearly every nation that "has its act together" is a homogenous mob. There is no turmoil because there is little diversity of thought or background.

Stop being a sheep and see what happens.

Oh so the U.S having fifty percent of the world's wealth but only five percent of the population isn't having our act together? Having our per capita wealth greater than that of almost every other country isn't having our act together? Being the most culturally diverse country in the world and having no problems with that isn't having our act together? Yes I am a republican but a socialist like you won't help the world either.

lmao i would not define myself as a socialist but that is another topic
that is the problem stop looking at it as US and look at it as the whole world the fact that the majority of the world would not give a crap if the u.s just fell over and died is very obvious. the fact that we are such a small portion of the total population and have all this wealth proves that we do not have our game together. read any books on a totalitarian government and you will find that they seem to be doing extremely fine but are very ill internally. and if i were to say anyone has their game together i would not say the US more like iceland. and notice how the wealth is distributed all the money that america has is in the huge corporations and tyrannical companies like viacom whilst the majority of the united states lay much much lower on the wealth scale. the only thing i can see helping us drastically now is removing religion from our government completely i am not saying this only to republicans but to all governments

I laugh when others complain about wealthy corporations as if they were cold, faceless monoliths. You know what a corporation is? A group of PEOPLE. So what if executives happen to be filthy stinking rich. If they have the intelligence and work ethic to amass a fortune through legitimate means, more power to them. Perhaps the population at large could learn a thing or two from these individuals.

Guess you haven't worked for one of these large corps. where they cut your benefits, remove any incentive programs for workers, double work requirements with less pay, and then give themselves a bonus because they 'made the company more money due to their superior management'. Learn to step on others for your own benefit and have no regard for the people that actually get the work done.....right, that is something I want to learn.

What change do I want in 2008? I want Ron Paul elected and I want the country to get its head out of the sand. I don't agree 100% with his personal opinions but at least he admits those are his opinions and is not going to force them on everyone. We do not need government controlling every step of our lives and telling us how to think and how our children should think. There needs to be more personal responsibility taken and I sincerely hope this country wakes up and sees that. I dont want to be told kids have to measure to some certain generic level. People are individuals and as such not everyone will excel at these required 'tests' and there is nothing wrong with that. Where are our freedoms to focus on what we are good at? I want research not to be limited to what the politics and industry wants and instead go to what people NEED. That they can explore avenues and not worry about politics blocking their funding especially in the energy sector. How can the things we want come about if researchers have one hand tied behind their backs?

October Jade · Jan 08, 2008, 07:17 PM // 19:17

I think you are supporting conflicting messages. Pushing for personal freedom is great; no one will argue otherwise. However, that also means that workers aren't stuck slaving for a crappy, uncaring firm. Employment is voluntary on both sides of the table...if you don't like your current situation, find another alternative.

I'm not trying to suggest that there are never shady happenings in the upper echelons of the private sector. What I am fighting is the dumb stereotype that everyone who wears a suit to work is a sleazy, back-stabbing harlot.

p.s. If you didn't bother to read the entire thread, I mentioned a week ago that I also support Ron Paul.

I am sorry, that was not the first impression I got from your message. I know there are good corporations and bad ones. I first thought you were trying to gloss over the bad ones. (Can you tell I dealt with some really bad ones and am a bit jaded? ) But there really seems to be increasing numbers of large companies cutting back any way possible against the lower level workers while leaving things in place or better for the higher ups. How long can a regular worker keep moving on to 'alternatives'? If the current situation is that the only way to afford healthcare is to work for these large companies and you need the healthcare coverage for your family then you get a bit more limited.

PS. Good.

In America ANYONE can be rich, normal people created huge corporations, why, or how? You might ask? It's because America's capitalist economy allows anyone who wants to WORK HARD!!!!!@#~@!%!@#$%@#$#$%@#$^@#$%@#$%@#$%@#% a chance to own their giant corporation, if everyone thought like you they'd be on the streets asking for handouts instead of getting jobs, or going to college. If the U.S. dissappeared think of all the aid that also dissappears seeing as how the American population is the most generous in donations. Per capita the U.S is much richer, and in the large companies the money a company makes is for shareholders not CEO's if a CEO or president spends that money they go to jail. If big corporations succeed everyone succeeds, stop complaining because you didn't work hard enough to be making more than minimum wage.

uuuummmm i have no problems with capitalism or corporations i just disagree with the way they are run in this country and also the impact they have on politics which i see as ridiculous. uuuummmm and don't think everyone would be on the streets and i for one do not get minimum wage im a student and am doing fine. the type of government or president we have has no impact on me it is the way they are enacted that i hate. and i am not saying that i hate the people working for these huge companies what i do not like is the amount of "ghost" money that is in these corporations and there financial effect on the politics. and why does everyone keep this idea of needing the masses and masses of money to have a "good" life i am not suggesting being homeless but there is an extent to how much money one family needs to be highly successful which some of these "suits" have and much much more.
i agree Hilary would be a nightmare and i pray that she does not make it

This reply seemed a lot more moderate than your others. I'm not suggesting that people need masses of money, I'm just saying that if you want to own your own Wal-Mart or Exxon you're gonna need to go to college work hard and expect to lose sometimes. You made it sound like large companies are bad things when they usually help the United States economy, and btw why would you describe the U.S. as not having its act together? Since almost all immigrants want to come here I'd suppose that the U.S has everything going for it. Totalitarianism is a part of every superpower, all countries have done bad things, and the U.S is no exception, we've entered stupid wars, turned a blind eye when things didn't suit us, try to gain as much control in the middle east as possible, try to stay dominant in politics, and our government has to have its own way. Despite all this though the U.S. ensures its citizens our freedom to do or say whatever we want, and that's why I love America and think that it's the best place to live in. The majority of us aren't rascists in reply to someone who said that I lived in a different U.S because I didn't think there was a large rascist movement here. To sum everything up America has its faults but it has the largest strengths I think.

ok sorry if my past quotes were a little enraged but i have a temper ever now and then especially when it is about politics.
i am going to ignore that first part of what you said i am not saying that all companies are bad our there heads(however exxon and wall mart are bad examples to bring up). immigrants come here because they have a worse time in there home countries but that is often a result of some of the US's doing. i agree that the US is getting better in some aspects but many wrong. my main issue comes from this the whole conversation we have had is US this US that but we are humans as a whole and we need to think on a global stage if we really want any future for our race(no im not talking about global warming) the way we are running the world is horrible the US is not the worst but far from the best.
