State of the Union Address

I know politics are sometimes a touchy subject, and I know some people in these forums arent from/in the United States.

I have confidence that this wont start a fight, and maybe a few members here from other countries might have the best perspective.

So, Discuss Please.

I have confidence that this thread will either derail on purpose or will start a fight and get locked.
Just sayin'.

So, Continue Please.

BTW Bro, your armor is on backwards.

signatures in america go better in the direction that text is read. left to right.

if i was to make a japanese signature, that would be the direction it would go.

and idk. i feel its a close choice in policy, yet like most politics people are exaggerating it a bit.

i feel it conveyed two choices:

obama wants to spend money, but it does seem he wishes to implement caution and not "invest" enough to further the debt significantly. he figures that if we really could monopolize green energy and other fields, then we would make twice the money put into it and could save for reducing the debt after thats prospering. he is also in favor of some spending and cutting back, freezing domestic spending for 5 years, but this wont probably balance the budget alone, it will however hopefully stop expanding significantly to the debt.

tea party wants to "completely disarm the government of any and all authority". naa, i think they are exaggerating so they can force a compromise closer to their side. for instance, if you want something slightly different then people will figure there isnt too much of a difference. if you want something really different, they will be forced to compromise in more areas, the ones you really wanted more in the first place. so, i dont think tea party really wants to completely dissolve government, but they want to reduce most of their spending and taxing ability. to simplify, they want to not continue any further without paying the national debt off immediately, and only afterwards continue expansion of national projects.

there were other noteable points, but i find this to be the main issue, and the two opinions on the matter. seems that most are also in favor of dealing with debt now rather than later, tho on paper obama may be correct about green energy and education investments leading to economic boom that would pay the debt later. in my opinion, both are viable choices, paying the debt now is low-risk-medium-gain, speeding up the economy is medium-risk-high-gain.

but, we are stuck with him for another 2 years, so it will be more noticeable by then which is a better idea. unemployment is 9.2, debt is 14 trillion. so if obama's plans go through and they work, in 2 years we will be close to set green-energy and education goals, and the debt or the unemployment rate will be reduced while the other either stays the same or is reduced also. if they arent working, it will be obvious it will take much longer to meet set goals that planned, and either unemployment and/or debt will increase.

Fixed it. Hope it meets your standards.

so, we ask the devs to have customizeable numbers. yet, when i change the original number in a pic, i get raged on. lame. hope the devs makes you stuck with the same number forever, even if they make 20 sequels, always number 81.

anywho, id probably make skins with different numbers on steam.

and also, manga do stuff like that all the time. tho, id rather read backwards from english direction of reading, than them flip manga, but still, id rather the pic not be worse off by not doing it that way.

wut? u no like? i am ashamed.

Edit: 15 minutes later...

What is all that nonsense up there? ^^^ I've been trying to make sense of it for 15 minutes.

Nope.
This derail is brought to you today by...


GOLD ARMOR!

Why heal it when you dont have to feel it?

Is the speech on the Internets somewhere easily accessible?

Stopping to take health boosts during combat wastes valuable seconds while armor just weighs you down. GobiNumbs Extra Strength formulated neurotoxins block out the pain so you dont feel it until hours, if not days later. Trust the neurotoxin that pros use, trust GobiNumb brand pain deferments.

o btw thanks for the imput tho, cuz i did just fix my sig to look more like a 1 in the direction that it was in (some manga when flipped make a tshirt that says MAY look like YAM, and in this case the 1 was in a wierd direction so i made it more straight)

appreciated.

so, anyone else run into those people rallied outside a post office hanging out passing flyers out asking to oust obama from presidency? i swear i came across this group supporting this one local politician, and swore obama becoming president was long in the making since the kennedy assassination. talk about tin-foil-hats, im suprised they werent passing them out.

i took a flyer went home and googled, found nothing the flyer said to be true. really, it made me want to go in front of someplace with some flyers i made, saying totally incorrect **** about obama, and hand them out saying crazy stuff like that too. see how many people actually call bs on me for it.

i would give $50 to the first person who stopped me and said obama neither did or said he would do this right here, and in matter of fact that is actually on the republicans agenda instead. just because they knew something. id somehow not be expecting anyone to do that tho, undecided voters dont seem to be too sharp in this day and age.

Fixed it for reals.

there is a signature thread.

btw, threads getting derailed get locked. threads getting purposely derailed get the derailer banned at least for a brief time.

so, anyone know anything about obama? or do you guys just know how to make outstanding signatures.

I would rather this thread got locked due to derail than let it become a political flame war.
I think there is just enough immaturity here, myself included, for a conversation about politics to get out of hand.

That being said (again), good luck. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

well i would have no problem with that, and would go back to discussing sigs.

however, you guys are immature at that as well. the only helpful feedback i got was about the number on the chest. the rest of it was trying to make a 9/10 look bad an a 7/10 look good.

mine gets 1/10 to 5/10. id say its pretty good.

others are linked directly from common google image results. 8/10 or 10/10.

pewp?

Re-railed.

apparently we are a nation of facebook and google

i feel unpatriotic to my country because i use neither

I love how you thank him for his input but you attack me when I said you cut off part of your own picture. Awesomesauce.

On Topic: I didn't watch that crap. Nothing he has to say interests me.

thats what he said!

On topic:




Off-topic: Politics as a whole is a gross perversion of humanity and UR DUM.
