This is an amazingly well done flash cartoon about the upcoming US presidential election. It really favors no side at all, and yet manages to make fun of everyone. I couldn't stop laughing at all when I first saw this. The link is at http://www.jibjab.com and it's the first video on the page, directly in the center. Enjoy!'
PS: I'm gonna enjoy reading all your comebacks and flames and actual conversation to this. Just realize that this video is completely neutral before I get flamed by either side of the spectrum, please.

Pretty funny.
Sad that they're all dumbasses out to make money, rather than do their job of serving the country, and it's people. They do a good job of flinging poo at each other to keep people distracted, though. Everyone spends so much time bickering over the liberal/conservative bs, that they never notice their being given the high hard one by both parties, while their pockets get picked.

I was never what you wanted, I could never never please.
I swallowed all our sorrow in the midst of my disease.
All my fortunes, all my gains, all the battles I have won...
Now collapsing like the rain, I stand alone, your only son...
Take some solace in these words, take notice of this place.
Hollow whispers that they are, like the wind upon my face.
Sing softly in my ear and look at me with wonder.
I will try to ease your fear as the darkness pulls you under.
whoops, sorry. I honestly didn't know. I don't spend too much time lounging around the off-topic forums. I prefer to stay in the... umm.. 'topic-ed' (?) forums.

Proof it's not a scam
Yeah it was deleted because people around here can't discuss politics in ANY form of a civilized manner, so don't be surprised if this one is gone soon too.

I don't see why we can't debate politics, if be all stay civil. I mean the Code of Conduct does NOT say we can't debate these things in the Off topic discussion.
It says we can't do this -
"Transmit any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable content. "
Or this -
""Spam" by posting frequent and/or annoying messages in the forums or messages not in the topic for that forum (except in such areas where it is clearly indicated that "spamming" is allowed)"
But if we DON'T do that, I think it would be fair to let us talk about these things

But it never works out that way, some people are FAR too emotional about their political views and things almost always get ugly.

I believe "or otherwise objectionable content" falls into the catagory Kunou and fellow staff recognise as being an issue regarding Political/Relgious topics.
Therefore, keep it civil as asked (but it never does) or it goes "poof" with the rest.

We've taken that approach before concerning such threads. However, they all end up being removed for one reason or another leaving the staff and fellow members frustrated with having to deal with this on a constant basis. This is a Onling gaming site with forums. If you wish to discuss politics or religion, we suggest you look elsewhere.

An online gaming site with forums, that seems to beg for something of more serious nature. Or the off-topic board would of never been added in the firstplace.
I mean if all threads that could turn into a heated flamewar discussion should be locked. Then I think that there should be a rule against any thread dealing with WoW or EQ2, because it has alot more likelyhood into degrading into a pile of flaming crap then pretty much any other discussion on this board.

I still cant understand why...
Canadians have make a pool as to if they could vote, who they will pick. I am sorry, but as a Canadian, I feel like we are doing kinda poorly ATM without giving advices to others folks! *grin*
Honestly, most folks here that express an opinion, on what can they base this opinion? On our local TV channels? Then the result is obviously the most left side party, since we are more left then the US(and more right then almost all Europeens countries).
Anyway, everyone have the right to express an opinion I guess, it is just that, before expressing an opinion, I usually try to HAVE a strong opinion in a way or another, I cant say I would strongly support 1 side or another.
