I heard there we're over 100 foiled plots against Reagan. Here's to hoping soon to be president Obama survives his four or eight years.

So we're to be reduced to voting for the candidate with the best VP, since THAT will probably be our next prez...

i can see it all now ~

We vote.

Someone wins.

The other someone isn't happy.

We have a month-long recount, in which tensions reach boiling points.

Out of the blue, one of the someones is killed or keels over.

(If it's Obama, roll, duck and cover!)

NOW, we don't have one of the candidates (unless it's Obama that's no longer with us, and McCain keels over from THAT)

...

...

Man, we are SO screwed...

erm, I can't believe i'm actually replying to one of your post, no offense, but in regards to the KKK most of them are ignorant ****s I wouldn't worry about them taking over. I good part of my family and many family friends live are from what you would call the old south, and I do know members of the KKK, they are in the large idiots who are as harmful as a fluffy bunny during heat.

If you want to think about hell, think about the entire american economy crumbling to the ground.

I disagree with you on some points, and agree on others. I do think that the KKK are not AS powerful as perhaps wendycal's post made it out to be, but, it does only take one nutjob KKK with a smart racist backing him to make all hell break loose. Even one legitimate assassination attempt, let alone a successful one, would most likely cause rioting. I am, perhaps naively, optimistic that should Obama win the election, the US is past the time when a black man winning the presidency simultaneously acquires a target on his back with a ticking clock. However, like I said, if just one person successfully acts on the feelings that are certainly out there about America being lead by a black man, I have no such optimistic feelings about what would happen as a result.

The reason i'm worried about it (and acting all Doom & Gloom over it) really isn't that much about the KKK ~ it was MORE the fact that these jokers are now hooking up with other hate groups, ACROSS THE COUNTRY, to the tune of about 630 of the "other" groups. With that many people gunning for you, and willing to risk their own lives to take yours, i mean,

YIKES!!!

If we lived in a free-market capitalist economy this wouldn't be happening. At least, not nearly as bad. Rational people will survive in a capitalist economy and racism is completely irrational.

^that MIGHT be able to be argued in a textbook, but unfortunately the world is not a vacuum in which abstract concepts are played out perfectly in synch with those concepts. I'd like to hear how you think this would pan out, in a "free-market capitalist economy," what exactly would happen to racist people?

Boo Rez you facking suck.

I'm hi-jacking your thread and having it moved to the Pop section.

Zero fucks are given about the OP.

Anyways, Paris has her Cash Money coming out soon and here is a little preview of it.



She says that she's going heavily Electro Pop on this album instead of like her last album that was all over the place and just a great pop album.

I still let Stars are Blind play when it pops up on a shuffle.

I bet this is a thread Rez wishes never existed.
