Sometimes I wish I was Paris Hilton and I wouldn't have to think about these things

Sinni Kal,

It's simple. Vote him out. It's called Democracy. All this crap about Bush being a messiancal idiot. VOTE.
That's the beauty of democracy.
How do you get rid of the Islamists? Can't vote them out can you?

BTW there's a big difference between debating & shouting slogans at people Sinni.
What a truly bizzare world you inhabit.

Dear Sayeret,
for democracy to function properly it requires voters to be intelligent, educated and informed. People lacking in these attributes are easily manipulated by politicians, big business and the media which means that the outcome of any democratic election is not necessarily legitimate. The re-election of Bush via the covert actions of Christian Fundamentalists is one example.

This will be explained to you more fully as you progress through High School, Sayeret.

Sinni
bush was re-elected not just by we 'fundies', but by a groundswell of people who actually believe that there are social values worth struggling for. They don't have to be fundies for this u know.
They just have to have had a loving 'normal' upbringing and notice how incredibly determined are those to overthrow all that is precious to them. Do u notice the ACLU in the USA trying always to remove God and any skeric of tradition of national life, on the grounds of the non establishment clause of the constitution. (a bit of a read of that section and the various judicial opinions will quickly show that the ACLU is totally out of touch with the intention of the formers of the constitution).
That is what got Bush re-elected.
Your still long on whining and short on solutions :) but u've already agreed you dont have one, so why keep on about it brudda ? Look for solutions, read the scriptures with an open mind. Meet 'Him', know Him, and live 4 Him. :)

Sinni,

I know what democracy is. Its when the majority rule. Unfortunatley vocal minorities, like yourself, believe they know best, and anyone who disagrees is wrong.
Whilst acheiving my history degree, I was taught that this kind of behaviour is facism.
You expose yourself by using churlish expressions.
If i don't agree with you, you resort to name calling.
Whose the fascist now Sinni?

I do live in a bizarre world, Sayeret.

I'm trying to have a serious debate about world issues and the only people I can get to respond is a religious nutter who doesn't understand what an atheist is and someone whose grasp of logic is highlighted by statements such as: 'If I don't agree with you, you resort to name calling. Whose the facist now, Sinni?'

Nikki did make a very valuable, meaningful comment. Is there anyone else out there who is worried about the direction our world is heading in?
