Hello, Hello, Hello :)

I'm (silly) sixteen, a female (seemingly rare around here) and in love with fonts (yum).

I'm new here so be nice ;) Well, actually I've been spying on you guys for quite some time now (mwahaha) so don't worry about lil' ol' me.

Anyway, how are you all? What's up? All that!

A female? A rarity around here indeed. Welcome to the forums!(well, I guess since you've been here for sometime, "welcome" really isn't appropriate, but I'm not sure what else to say :) )

The site was just launched some days back. I'm adding new fonts like crazy. You're probably my first bookmarker. Congratulations :D

Anybody that insults Bush, will be dealt with in a unkind and efficent manner. :D J/K

Bush is a good man, you might not think so but I do.

I think bush is an evil little man but that's just my opinion (no joke)

whatevah
July 17th, 2001, 14:55
well.. everybody is entitled to their own opinion, I suppose... even if it's wrong ;)

I assume you voted (if old enough, not sure) for Gore?

I watched a few of their televised debates, and Gore was an idiot.

milkbar

ok, ok.. lets not do a "my guy is better" fight here... I didn't even vote. besides.. we can't change who got elected.

Bush is capable of running the country, I can't see why people think he's an idiot (other than his grades in college). He is a fairly smart man.

Absolutely.
And I haven't seen much of Al Bore lately? He was a loser... if he was running this country, we would be in a depression.

Waiiiiiiiit a second..... Are you suggesting that the US isn't experiencing a depression?

Giancarlo
July 17th, 2001, 15:36
What kind of depression? Society Depression or Economic Depression. It certainly is experiencing a Society Depression IMHO. But no Economic Depression, and no recession either... but with Bore, ehm, Gore there would an economic depression.

niv
July 17th, 2001, 15:37
Giancarlo, that is not a fair thing to say. Al Gore is also capable of running the country, just as well as Bush Jr.

Giancarlo
July 17th, 2001, 15:40
Oh sorry... I get unreasonable at times. I didn't like Gore, infact I hated him for complaining about everything... I dunno. Anyways what is the difference between the Democratic and Republican Parties? Both are close to the center, and both choose Centerist Candiates.

niv
July 17th, 2001, 15:44
the difference is the Republicans tend to forget about the working men, the people that immigrate to this country, suffer who strive to survive, while unknowingly, keeping this country's economy alive. the Democrats fight for the rights of these people. i find it sad to have to say that.

Giancarlo
July 17th, 2001, 15:46
I find that entire statement incorrect. We care for the economy and the freedoms of the people. You are biased just like me, I am saying that about your party, the Democrats don't give a crap about the economy.

niv
July 17th, 2001, 15:49
maybe you should come to new york city and walk through the streets of the many defunct communities, and you will see suffering. i know i am biased like you. i have some republican views, but mainly democratic ideals so i stay an independent for my sake.

whatevah
July 17th, 2001, 15:51
hmm.. what happened?

we went from a "I'm new here" post, to Bush, to economics... guess what, Navin.. you've just experience that strange phenoma... "General Chat Forum" ;)

Giancarlo
July 17th, 2001, 15:51
Hmmm... yeah sure. MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO TO ECUADOR! I lived there for two years, the average person makes $10/Month living off pieces of bread and in a garbage bag tent. I seen the suffering believe me, a lot more than what is happening in the US. Captialism can fix this by giving the people of this country work, something the democrats don't want to do by closing this country into isolation.

The Republicans want to help most of the people in the US, the Upper and Middle Classes.

niv
July 17th, 2001, 15:54
you know of course, there are loopholes in the bush tax cut plan, making it void to some people who don't qualify (i'm not talking about tax evaders).

is cutting taxes really the answer? perhaps. not always. perhaps big government is bad, but good...i dunno these days. we need a completely non-partisan/non-biased president in the oval office. heh. that's not going to happen.

Giancarlo
July 17th, 2001, 15:57
We are an perfect example of Partisanship. Tax Cuts are the answer, take a look at Reagan... he did some Tax Cuts and the economy was back on its feet, then the deficit reduced itself from economic growth that was felt during the later parts of his terms and during the 90s.

I think both Gore and Bush are idiots.
I live in Canada and our prime minister sucks too.
Almost all politicians are idiots.

Thread locked now that the title describes the actual thread. I would have left it open but it started getting off topic yet again. Start a new topic if you would like to continue with the post your pics section of the thread. Just keep that one on topic.
