Paladin9:
xeen makes a good point about the economy. The seroius debt Bush it putting the country in will effect us(those of us here who live in the states) becuase WE will have to pay off all of that debt some years from now, and the only way to do it would probably have to be high taxes. Anyone else who lives in California will also have to pay back the 15 billion bond that the termina- uh, Arnold passed. It will probably cost around 30 billion to pay it off! So I am really fucked.

and what good point about the economy was that?
quote:The last 4 years we have seen the economy go down the toilet, and it ain't improving.

it went down the toilet? uh...ya! where have you been the last 3 years? have you not been paying attention? yes, the economy was horrid after 9/11, it was expected. pull your head out of your ass and look around once in awhile. provide proof that it is NOT improving.
quote:The Iraq war is costing hundreds of billions of dollars that the government does not have.
--- End quote ---
the US gov. handles TRILLIONS of dollars per day; i am quite sure a few billion is nothing to worry about in the long run.
quote:They are taking this money by adding to the national debt, which in case you don't know translates to robbing future generations (us) of money and ingnoring the problem. So in a few years when you're out in the real world this economical problem will directly affect you. And if not, it will definately affect your children. That's just great aint it?

The US has had an enormous debt for quite awhile. guess what: there is no possible way we can pay it off in a 4 year period. get over it. perhaps we should STOP sending so much damn aid to countries that hate us and use THAT money to pay back the debt
quote:Finally, here's something you might REALLY want to think about. Do some simple research, or just watch/read some recent news, and you will find out that over the past 2-3 years the Bush administration has been quietly reopening up offices and hiring staff for the draft control (whatever it's called). Do some more research and you'll find out that Congress currently has at least 2 draft bills going around. You're currently in high school. Guess what? You will very soon be of military age If you can't see how these things DO affect you, good luck!

now here is something that i can beleive, and something that i'm not real excited about. being a junior in HS, i would probibly get drafted if a draft was issued.

How ironic. Seeing that makes me want Bush to stay in.
Siplus:
good. bush should stay in
on a side note: hope to dissappoint you, but if i remember, people who were in college weren't really drafted as much as those who were not in college. i have about 8 or so years of college ahead of me, so that would put my final graduation from med. school when i'm 26, which is (i think) the upper bound for the range in the age group that is drafted. there is no possiblility that i would be drafted if they excuse college students
Stilly:
so....
i come back and where i said this isn't the place to bitch about bush it seems all you fuckers have. i dont really like him either good fuck can you all resist a chance to bitch.
so how many of you are doing work to help kerry in the election this year? how many of you encouraging people to vote? how many of you attend peace rallies? how many write to congressmen?
bush is gonna win the next election, it may suck but if the democrats can't get a decent candidate then fuck them.
