This is a debate, not an argument.

Krausse Kreugar Lollipop Fiend Winning a Nobel prize doesn't require the same skills as being a politician. Bush Jr. isn't stupid regardless of what you would like to think. If you actually look into him, he's very well read, has a very solid educational background, and his administration has pushed more of its legislation through than anyone else since LBJ. I mean, it's ok to not like the guy or his policy positions, but he took advantage of the situations around him and seized power from Congress like no other. You mean how Bush used a signing veto to rewrite what Congress/Senate sent him, against the Constitution? You are aware that the power I'm talking about was given to him by Congress willingly, right? That and well, there are plenty of other Presidents before him who used their veto power to much greater extremes. I mean, go look at Nixon and his power to tell Congress "I'm doing whatever the ******** I want."

I by and large agree with Cael. I don't really like political discussions, because most of the time you have people chiming in with uneducated bullshit, or the same sort of drivel that comes from falling in with the media-driven American dichotomy that really doesn't exist. Either way, what you end up getting is a pile of horseshit from people who generally have very little idea of what they're talking about.
So I really don't have much of a problem with moving on, because so little ever comes from political "discussions" anyways. It mostly amounts to people pelting each other with rotten fruit, or crying over political ideologies.

I know what you're getting at, Rhos, and that's not what I was implying.

I know, but I'm full of rage, heartbreak, lonely, contempt, and regulary scheduled depression.
Being a d**k is a nice way to relieve that.

Just because you're not the Co-emperor of the GTB anymore doesn't mean you shouldn't absolutely go edit every post that's been put in this thread for the last two pages and replace it with pictures of adorable rabbits.
Do your job, Rhoss. :/

I'm not trying to get fired.
I mean, yes, it might happen, but I'm almost concerned about keeping this job just for the sake of having at least one person who is generally on and active because I have friends in the tournament.
And there's some other ******** who I suppose deserve a good tournament, though it's not like they've done anything to earn it.

I'm not trying to get you fired. I'm trying to get the politics to go away.

Well, I AM also trying to do that.
BUT THAT WAS THE SECONDARY PURPOSE.
There was a problem of a more immediate nature, and it was 90% percent of this thread thinking that people will be impressed by their regurgitated political views and observations!
Now, do your job before I make you lose it!
Banning by association, Rhoss! Because you're the only one stupid enough to respond to me! Bwohahahah!

No, I think I'll keep waiting until I don't wake up at 5 AM to grade. razz
If anyone really wants me to grade their fight early, they can PM me and I promise, the first thing I RAGE at in the morning will be their fight.
Points will be deducted rapidly and accordingly.
Oh wait, you mean the OOC thread. No, I'm not paid enough to care about this thread.

Cael 0x Does this guild really not have the traditional "Don't argue about politics and let's all get along" safeguard that most places have? You know, the one that coincides with the "no one gives a ********" stipulation? *sigh* Well, not like I don't expect something like this to come up now. Continue.
"UHG, NO ONE CARES ABOUT POLITICS, I DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS IT, SO I'M GOING TO FORCE MYSELF INTO AN OPTIONAL DISCUSSION I HAVE NO REQUIREMENT TO BE INVOLVED IN AND b***h ABOUT IT"
I tried discussing politics in a civil tone a week ago, look what chaos grew from it. And you guys are bitching about this vanilla garbage?
SHATTUP. [Slaps Austin.]
^--Also, god damn man, I hate to be this way, I can't handle playing with your friends anymore. Bad for my health.

Appreciated. Now I know what I get to miss since I no longer have my DS, though for noble reasons.
