I don't really know who could do this, but I would want the US president to abolish visas for Polish citizens. Because, I have a US visa valid until 2011, but my sister had to finish her holiday 3 days before us, and go home from Barbados, instead of San Juan, because she had no visa...

I did, but that's mostly because I'm a European guy. I read her program and she had the most corresponding points with mine. But I think people in the USA don't really look at programs or something like that. They vote more for 'the image' IMO. We could start a whole American 'Redneck' Republican vs 'European Socialist' argument here, but I think that's proven worthless.

But it did occured to me that most fellow pyrotechnicians have a more right-wing point of view. Both in Europe and USA. True?

 

Gr.

It depends, I'm from the Netherlands but I'm kinda mixed in between. The liberals have certain points that I totally agree on but when it comes to foreign policy I'm more right-wing than anything. I'm not a racist but I ain't soft either. The rules about foreigners coming in should be A LOT more strict than they are right now...

Probably true. In a left wing government, the enjoyment of a few means nothing against the perceived safety and comfort of the many.

A "Nanny State" that takes care of everyone and everything, does NOT promote fireworks.

A giant asteroid needs to land on this planet... Humanity needs a reboot ASAP!!!

LOL, we were talking about that the other day. Not so much a total reboot as a challenge that will bring humanity together. My favorite example would be alien invasion, aka "Independence Day". When some disgusting tentacled creature (uhh, like Tentacles! :P ) is trying to enslave humanity, perceived differences in skin color, religion, and who does/does not go to church fade rapidly.

 

Ammo prices are still sky high. I'd like to stock up before Obama and his posse tax each round at $1 each... or ban 85% of firearms outright.

the ultimate ctrl+alt+del for humanity is a virus. an planet killer asteroid will just ensure no human ever walks the earth again.

 

what you need is a big bunker, lots of food and water, and a bunch of willing women who will do there part to repopulate the earth.

 

then you have some rube drop a level 5 virus in a subway station platform on monday morning and watch the world die.

 

would make a good book/movie. but it would make for a shitty existence. sure having post apocalyptic orgies with your handpicked gaggle of dames would be nice, but how do you live with being the guy who killed everyone else on the planet?

 

as for politics and government i'll echo john galt and simply say "get out of my way".

Well since our countries last Honorable president was Kennedy and since then we have seemed to slowly but surely become more and more faciest . I have taken the independent route with hopes that we would have a candidate that upholds and respects what our forefathers had written for each and everyone of us ( Constitution and declaration of independence).

 

Ron Paul was my write in on the ballet. Unfortunately he was not campaigning for president.

 

Can anyone remember why they banned the "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all". from our classrooms?

Notice the underlined word? That's why.

Yeah but did you hear the speeches at the inauguration? Jesus this, Jesus that, God bless America, God bless the troops. :angry:. What the fuck did god ever do? I think Family Guy said it best. "Let's pray, dear God... just stay the hell out of our way!"

The underlined word is on all our money. Its also in the majority of oaths. Its part of every court systems pledge to tell the truth. I am not sure if thats the reason.

Oh, ok. It's the reason for a lot of things on this side of the pond anyway. The reasoning being that you can't make children do something they don't believe in, for instance, Swedish children usually went to church the last day of school but this is not the case any more. They are not allowed to sing the Swedish national anthem in school either. To many rag-heads that would be offended. That's P.C for you.

Is it the part about living and dying in Sweden? I went and looked it up, but saw no mention of god. Could just be a poor Swedish --> English Translation. I don't speak Swedish. Only a few dirty phrases in Norwegian that my grandfather and Rooster taught me.

 

Du gamla, du fria, du fjällhöga Nord,

du tysta, du glädjerika sköna!

Jag hälsar dig, vänaste land uppå jord,

din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna,

din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna.

 

Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar,

då ärat ditt namn flög över jorden.

Jag vet, att du är och du blir vad du var.

Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!

Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!

 

Thou ancient, thou freeborn, thou mountainous North,

In beauty and peace our hearts beguiling,

I greet thee, thou loveliest land on the earth,

Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.

Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.

 

Thy throne rests on mem'ries from great days of yore,

When worldwide renown was valour's guerdon.

I know to thy name thou art true as before.

Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden,

Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden.

anyone else catch the spectacular obama soundbyte in his speech?

 

"this is the beginning of the end" (of the recession).

 

anyone who listens to talk radio will probably get sick of hearing this one because i have a feeling it's going to get abused.

 

i just found it funny when i heard it, i was driving my car down the road and i was cracking up.

 

how ironic.

Remember, the world ends in 2012, according to the Mayans and a bunch of other crystal-worshipper types. We probably won't get another chance at a Presidential election. This is it!

 

3 more years of Pyro. Live it up! :P
