Obama's Grandmother Died.

[Grenades]

I'm so sick of all this stupid talk about the elections. I live in Canada, and everyday on the news I'm still hearing [cabbage] like this. Who cares?

 

 

 

Okay, so his grandma died, he'll get enough sympathy from his family and friends, leave it at that.

You don't care, but you care enough to post on a RuneScape forum saying you don't care even though you don't care.

 

 

 

You win at consistency. :|

O hi OBama's Grandmother Died. Thread!

 

O wait, did I take the wrong turn? all I see is war talk, voting, and welfare.

[Kenshinjapan]

 

No but i do work for a living, i do work because i know the future holds unknowns that could be tough. Maybe those that can't afford it are the same ones that spend more on their cars and "rims" then their house? Maybe they could of worked harder prior to this? Hard times hit people sure, but this many? Please. Learn to work for yourself and not count on help.

 

 

 

You work a secure job, there's very little chance to you being chucked out of your job left with mortgages, family commitments and bills to pay now is there? In the state the current economy is in a huge amount of jobs aren't secure and pay cuts or lay offs are happening every day, when this happens people need to be helped or they will end up on the streets. In an earlier post you said you need to be paid more, I frankly think you don't. I assume in the USMC like the British army you have free accommodation, food is provided, entertainment is provided etc and when you're at home you live in barracks, where once again basic needs are provided for you. The money you earn at the end of the day is pretty much all disposable income, the average person has to pay for food, accommodation etc out of what is left of their wage, you are getting it relatively easy. Don't reply with "I'm putting my life on the line for your freedom or others" as you chose the job, the working conditions make no difference once you chose that job.

 

 

 

Downsize your head and stop assuming once you have a job it's easy to get by, it's not.

 

 

 

I will agree though there are people who simply jump on the social welfare and benefits train to have an easy life, those kind of people I have no problem withdrawing benefits from as they do nothing for society other than take honest tax payers money.

 

 

 

How's that a fair argument? You can't tell him putting his life on the line doesn't justify higher pay. If that was the case, nobody would be surgeons on the battlefield when they could sit in an office, going home to their family every night.

Are you some kind of idiot. Most of the poor people are people who are middle-aged, Which can't get any job even Mcdonalds, because there was no use for a highschool diploma in the 50's 70's and 80's. but no, everything is changing you need to graduate high-school and even go to college for a minimum of 4 years to get a job at Mcdonalds... I feel bad for people who don't know what it's like to struggle in life, It gives you a sense of what's going on around you. now your saying that Mcdonals is always hiring and you can work your way up to a decent job... Is quite frankly horrible. You are Probably only around your 20's and not understanding what it's like for a middle aged person to cope with the world. #-o

 

 

 

Since when do you need your masters degree to work at McDonalds? :lol:

 

 

 

The reality of it is that you CAN survive off of minimum wage if you manage your money wisely. Families over time have seemed to assume that a tv, iPod, nice car, and the latest accessories are all necessary for survival. In todays time, you could raise a family of 10+ with both parents working at $8 an hour. Albeit tough, it can be done.

As for Obama's grandmother dying, pity, but not newsworthy. If anything, it could be used just to gain some sympathy votes.

I was trying to prove a point in the way I thought would be most likely to get a response. It seems to have failed. That being said, I agree with what you were saying, it is possible to get by on a job at McDonalds. I also wasn't really trying to be an [wagon], I was just saying that krieg's job isn't really something that the common person could do.

Stopping people voting isn't really an issue republicans can take the moral high-ground on. Don't you remember Florida 2000? Plus it isn't like Fox News has an agenda itself is it?

Ahh, misunderstood, there's just a lot of people nowadays that (dare I say) hate a person for being involved in the government in any way.

Fox News, classy news source there!

[Mellez]

Poor O'bama. Dunno about you guys, but on the Aussie news last night, O'bama was like "Hi Ohio" when he was in Florida. Shows how much he misses her.

[Mellez]

oh no, let's all feel sorry for obama and vote for him.

 

i don't really see why it matters that his grandma died, it's no different than someone else who is famous having a relative dying.

 

 

 

Let me know when someone you're very close to dies so I can make rude comments about the both of you. And I'm sure Obama is thinking, "Score! My grandma dies so now I can use this to get more votes! YES!"

 

evil_mumm_ra, you son of a [bleep]

 

Why would O'bama need MORE votes when he's already caning McCain?

You are so right about Fox having a conservative agenda. Im a republican and I agree with you 100%. But don't think for one second that CNN is not a liberally biased media outlet. The republicans did not do anything wrong in Florida in 2000. Bush won before the recount and he won after the recount.

[1_man_army]

I agree CNN is biased also, most of the big networks are biased in one way or another in USA. That being said, I don't want to start about Florida again, the systematic disenfranchisement of black voters (who tend to vote democrat) and the decision not to count over-votes (which would have given Gore a victory). 537 votes...when the direction of the western world comes down to such a small margin it makes the mind boggle.

[baalboy5]

Obama in the lead now :o

[Range_This11]

Yes, Obama sent those guys to do that. God you are just a complete moron, do you know that?

[Kriegsmier]

Yes, thank you. LOL hilarious.

[chinesrat]

well Obama won by a long shot 349 to 161

I just find it amusing that people constantly harp on Fox News having a conservative agenda, but it's completely fine for MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CNN (and it's affiliates) and other news networks to have a liberal one. Totally fair balance of blame, there.

i do love compliments such as this. why wouldn't he have needed more votes? it was close on the popular vote, and at the time i posted that, and actually still now, i didn't/don't care who won, it makes no difference whatsoever to me.

Didn't you see the footage of him wiping away a tear with a tissue while at a rally? I did twice, if I'm not mistaken.

 

 

 

She was a significant part of his life, so obviously her death affected him. I think seeing him with a strong resolve so soon after the death of his grandmother has to do with winning the election, not being an uncaring bastard.

You don't really have any idea of how your own democratic system works, do you?

 

 

 

The popular vote means nothing. Even if it did, Obama won it by a good 5% (which sounds small, but is actually massive in a two-party election), so it's not like he needed more while the national polls were putting him 7%, 8%, and even some double figures ahead.

*facepalm* i do know, i'm not some [wagon] who comes here for [cabbage]s and giggles. so yes, i know how our system works, just because i don't care about the outcome, does not mean i'm some blithering idiot who spouts complete nonsense. i am educated in how our system works, thanks for your bloody concern. besides this conversation really doesn't even need to take place here, this doesn't have anything to do with obama's grandma.

This isn't particularly aimed at evil_mumm_ra but it's funny how republicans are talking about the popular vote now. They seem to be forgetting that when Bush had 500,000 less votes than Gore in 2000 it wasn't a problem for them.

[evil_mumm_ra]

can't really be aimed at me at all :P i've never sided with a party cause i've never checked to see where my views land me. that is pretty funny though, and also typical about a lot of things.

The electoral college voted Bush in after Gore had won the general election. That was the 4th time it happened in US history. You never know for sure how it's going to turn out, but I'd say having over twice as many democrats representing in the electoral college this year, I don't see McCain getting so lucky.

 

 

 

@Evil_mumm_ra: How can you not care who is elected? The things they choose to do with the country are going to effect you. I feel it's a shame to see people do this. Exercise your rights, man.
