So what are you going to do? Paint pictures of them sucking off monkey

Some of you people are obviously not compos mentis. The ****ing
election is over, Obama won it, and you ought to be looking to the
future and how things might be improved, but few of you are, instead
you are wasting time and effort on nonsense and trivialities, and it
appears there are some of you who are unable to grasp reality at all.

The main cause of your failures, in many areas, is people like you.
It makes little difference who nominally leads you, your individual
behaviour is an excellent indicator of your collective behaviour.

If you want things to change you have to change the things you can
control, and basically the only thing you can control much is
yourself. Although some of you obviously can´t even do that.

Unlikely that you will even understand. Oh well.................

I dunno. How many of the dubious registrants voted?

Maybe the better question is how many times they voted.

OK. How many voted at least once?

Missed the questions again!

How many voted more than once?
How many bogus registrations were voted by "legitimate" registrants in
addition to their own vote?
How many voted as the the bogus registrant absentee and then voted again
as their bogus and/or real identity on election day?

I'm asking you, Peaceful. How many?

This reminds me of why I have the moron PB in my killfile!

I'd say there were at least hundreds of millions of illegal votes cast by
those nefarious ACORNers.

better chance at winning *next time* by blaming Acorn for their
problems or taking a good hard objective look at themselves.

They may take back Congress in 2 years. The economy probably will be even
worse then. Depends if they move somewhat to the middle. To the Goldwater
middle.

Well, now, there's your answer, Fred - you can imagine Dave imagining
himself painting Mike blowing...oops...EXPERTLY blowing monkeys...

Dave

Yeah, with folks like you and Fred in the USA, how can its future be
anything but positive...well, once the proper people have been tortured
and executed, of course...

Sheesh,
R
....and just how is it that you know the difference between "expertly"
and oh, say, "mediocre" or "****-poor" when it comes to monkey
blowing...? I mean, speaking only for myself, I'm not embarrassed to
admit that I wouldn't know expertise in monkey blowing if I were looking
right at it...and well, I guess I might as well also admit that I'd just
be too polite to ask the monkey...hey, don't ask, don't tell...

You really are a poor sad dumbo, completely balmy, and weird to boot.
Extremely doubtful that anybody wants to hear about your perverse
hallucinations, they merely indicate your lack of grip on reality. I
would tell you to get a life, but it seems you´ve already had it, such
as it was. Always amazes me how a nutjob like you manages to survive
long at all without intensive care. Anybody reading the ****e you post
could make an excellent case for having you committed on grounds of
insanity.

Seems you can´t stand being just another useless and ineffectual
dumbo, and it´s driven you potty. You are to be pitied more than
anything else, but that still does not excuse your behaviour.

It´s a little too simplistic to say that a country gets the government
it deserves, but there is some truth in it. Unfortunately, the
tendency is always to blame others for whatever goes wrong, and also
to codify various things in order to have a target as such to rail at.

In all the various political factions there are "good" and "bad"
people, and there are a lot of people doing good and bad things for
what they perceive as the right reasons, or for various other
motivations like personal gain, power, religion, ideology, etc.
Unfortunately, due to the mass involved, these things have become ever
more complex and intertwined. It is quite impossible for any "normal"
individual to influence these things, but one can still influence
oneself. The more individuals there are doing "good" things, and
eschewing "bad" things, the greater the tendency for the mass to do
the same.

In an ideal situation, this should automatically result in the
greatest good for the greatest number. There will always be people who
are dissatisfied with what they have, or how they live, quite
regardless of how well off they are. Nevertheless, one must keep in
mind that the Western world as a whole enjoys a very high standard of
living, very much in advance of the rest of the world, and actually
the majority of people have little to complain about. Also interesting
is that the people who have the most are the ones who do the most
complaining and whining for "more" and "better", or indeed begrudge
others what they have, or indeed are.

By and large, the standard of living, the value of life, freedom, and
education, and indeed the average lifespan itself, have all increased
steadily for a long time in all the Western nations. Many illnesses
have been beaten, the "quality of life" as such is for very many
people largely a matter of individual choice, free speech and the rule
of law hold sway, people are safer and more secure than they ever have
been.

Individuals are of course still subject to the vagaries of the human
condition, like illness, personal tragedy, and various random events
causing them problems. Poverty and ignorance are still major problems,
also largely a result of inadequate education.

Various groups, and of course many individuals, still vie to control
what other people do, or even think, power over others is apparently
extremely important to them. There is little one can do about it,
except resist to the best of one´s ability.

Even the simple fact that you can write whatever you want to on here
is an indication that you are not only one of the privileged, but able
to use that privilege in any way you please.

What this actually means, is that you would be better off, and so
might many others, if you ceased whining and complaining, and thought
about what you might do to help those less well off than yourself. Who
knows? You might then also be a great deal happier as well.
