The planet is relieved that Obama is staying in office.

Don't give a fuck what they think.

are we sure they arent talking about the planet Kolub? Or maybe the planet Mars?

The U.S. projects conservativism all over Earth. They hate us for the massive unnecessary killing.

Massive?

3 million in Vietnam, 2 million in Iraq, after awhile some complainer pipes up and the world hates you.

Nope. You're a gimmick account, though, so whatever.

 

[blazerboy30]

Well hell... Greece, Spain, etc... MUST be right. They certainly have their issues figured out. If they like Obama, maybe I should too.

 

[NOVoodoo]

Well, this is understandable.

It's understandable in the sense that the world views President Obama the same way the average college students does. Specifically, I mean the college students who wanted to rebel against their upper-class, suburban upbringing by showing up in record numbers to vote for "Change," whilst taping "HOPE" posters in their dorm room windows as if the presidential election had supplanted TRL.

They weren't quite sure what he stood for, nor the long term effects of his proposals, but they knew one thing - they wanted activism for the sake of activism, because that's what their parents did in the baby-boom generation.

Image will go a long way. It will help no-talent musicians achieve perennial top-40 success, just as it will keep a president like President Obama in the White House for consecutive terms.

Massive?

No, of course not. It was well within the acceptable amount of unnecessary killings.

Everyone wants to see #1 knocked off. Of course the lesser countries want to see us cut down to size. They have their wish.

 

[44Thrilla]

wait, so that makes it the right decision?

That would be like saying the Miami Heat decided to bench LeBron and give Mike Miller all his minutes, and the rest of the NBA is "relieved" about it so that makes it right.

LOL! Exactly right. Repped.

Right, it's us against the world. Every other country is our enemy, and what's good for them must therefore be bad for us.

Hey everybody, let's hold hands and sing "It's a Big, Blue Marble"!

I used to think the Left was just misguided. Now I think they're delusional.

Think about it again in terms of 44Thrilla's post comparing the US to the Miami Heat.

Teams in the NBA compete against one another, as well as with one another. They are not necessarily enemies (though some teams have some seriously bad blood and seem to have more intense battles). For the most part, NBA teams all know they're in it together, and each team has a role. Someone has to play the winner, someone plays the loser (this is where I'd like to say that the comparison ends, as in life, and a world, why can't we all win? But I've yet to see this possibility in our world).

 

[barfo]

The Right just demonstrated conclusively in the run-up to the election that they are delusional. So maybe everyone is delusional.

ANALOGY OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE

I think the analogy is seriously flawed. One country is not crowned as champion each year. There is not a requirement that there be one and only one winner. There can be multiple winners. There can be no winners.

If our economy crashes, that doesn't help the rest of the world win. If China crashes and burns, that doesn't make us the winner.

The analogy doesn't fit 100% - oh no!!!

The analogy must be 100% or it fails!! Rawr!

If China loses, sometimes it helps us, sometimes it hurts. Think about the playoffs, man. Sometimes, a better team that you'd play in the next round gets bumped out, and it opens your opporunity for further success.

I don't really care - I'm just carrying this through as a joke. You're either doing the same, or you're mind only works in extreme literal ways, and that's why this isn't processing.

What constitutes massive, in your mind?

It is interesting though how some prioritize the competitive portion of economies over the cooperative nature of economies and vice versa. Also interesting is the implication that Romney is LeBron and Obama is Miller, when both are obviously Chris Bosh.

And the left continues to demonstrate conclusively that they are delusional. "We can balance the budget if the rich pay their fair share!!!"

I'm glad you're finally admitting the goal should be to increase the size of the pie instead of whining about who gets the pie.

It's a critical step in getting away from your delusional, socialist ways.

Way off. One is Nolan Smith. One is Luke Babbitt.

This, of course, assumes that we were able to dump them on Miami for future considerations and/or money (budgetary concerns).
