gatewatcher Posted August 26, 2002 What? What the hell? Pepper spray isn't a biological weapon. And bush is the President, not an unelected dictator. Are you smoking crack? 0 Share this post Link to post

Ichor Posted August 26, 2002 Pepper spray has been used long before Bush was elected (yes elected). And isn't tear gas a chamical weapon, too? 0 Share this post Link to post
Wobbo Posted August 26, 2002 Geroge bush was only "elected" in the constitutional sense of the word. the majority of the country voted for gore and the republican party even admits this. thats the way the system works, the person with the most votes doesnt always win. Yup tear gas and pepper spray are chemical weapons. Inever said that any previous president was better I would of preferred that the protestors not been punishe dfor democracy captain 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted August 26, 2002 That's how it works. The Constitution is supposed to be the final authority in such cases. 0 Share this post Link to post

Linguica Posted August 26, 2002 Whether or not GW won the election in Florida is open to debate but to question his election by saying that he's only president in the "constitutional" sense of the word is retardedness of the worst sort. 0 Share this post Link to post
gatewatcher Posted August 26, 2002 Gore may have won if every American voted, but an insane ammount of Americans do not. So, that means Gore did a bad job of campaigning. 0 Share this post Link to post
IMJack Posted August 26, 2002 gatewatcher said:Gore may have one if every American voted, but an insane ammount of Americans do not. So, that means Gore did a bad job of campaigning. That made no sense, watcher. Logically, winning 51% (or even 50.1%) of the votes is still a popular victory. The problem with the last election is that we had to chose between two idiots, and neither was clearly a more acceptable idiot than the other. I mean, what kind of choice is it between a wooden robot and a dyslexic Texan? 0 Share this post Link to post

gatewatcher Posted August 26, 2002 Heh, well it makes more sense now that i changed "one" to "won", heh. All i was saying is that many people who would have voted for Gore did not vote, apparently. 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted August 26, 2002 Xian said:Yup tear gas and pepper spray are chemical weapons. Do you know that Tear Gas and Pepper Spray have saved lives? Yeah, without Tear Gas and Pepper Spray, riots would probably have ended a little more bloody. And anyway, these protesters were threatning, they were not just sitting there, the police thought that these people could get violent. Its not like the police opened fire for Christ's sake, they took down a few rowdy protesters. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted August 26, 2002 True, pepper spray isn't thatt big of a deal (though its overused). But Bush wasn't really elected and now after 9/11 he's been allowed so many liberties that he basicaly has become a dictator. I mean, look at some of the stuff that has been made into law since then. The government is allowed to round up Arab CITIZENS indescriminately. And now he's going for declaring war without even consulting congress. Yeah, fuck democracy...lets just do whatever the president wants to do. USA #1...I'm going to slit my damn wrists, I swear. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted August 26, 2002 a dictator, i can see. like in ancient rome times of confilcit give a leader more power than any one man should. this period of time is the same in other wars, we rounded up japense people even if they were third generation. we always need someone to blame and we ARE never at fault. America is as much to blame for the attacks, we trained the terrorist cause we didnt like commies. now we train a new batch cause we dont like those we trained, then it will happen agian. we need to change how we do things, change for the good but it would be hard, nothing good ever comes easy. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gore couldn't even carry his own county, let alone his state. However I do still think Gore would be much better for the job than Bush, and I do think it's silly that the "majority-rules" part of democracy was twisted during the 2000 election when more people voted for Gore but Bush got more electoral votes. 0 Share this post Link to post
