First Official GOP President Announcement

If only those students cared about something important like graduating in 4 years and not bitching in 4 mins !

It's not the same student.

Bolded: Funny coming from someone who thinks it's ok for a politician to make a televised campaign speech at a university where students were required to attend in the thousands.

This is why I decided not to be a teacher. Kids are *** dumb and not just intellectually socially etc !

You apparently missed my edit, oh well.

Why are you so cynical? IF Hilary Clinton came to talk, if I could manage it I would skip out. Or since I am interested in politics I would probably stay and listen. I may post something about it to my Facebook(or on here) but the language of my post would be how I feel about her, not the simple fact I had to sit through it.

Only 30% came out to vote this last election... more people need to be aware of the field. People listened to Ted Cruz now they have an opinion, be it good or ill, at least it is AN OPINION that is not based on hearsay

I've haven't seen this much bitching about a non issue since I asked a feminist "What patriarchy ? "

Well, republicans have at least one thing over democrats. They get to pick which corporate sellout they get to vote for.

Yes I do believe it is ok, If Hilary Clinton came to my school I would sit through it without complaining!

You are right, of course. In an ideal world, candidates would run on the strength of their policies, and we would choose the one that most aligned with our beliefs. In the real world, the best you can hope for is that the other side fields a weak candidate.

Personally I'd love to see Rand Paul get the GOP nomination. He is left of Hillary on certain issues. It would be interesting to see Clinton argue for the military-industrial complex during debates with Paul. He can make her look silly on that subject. If Paul doesn't run, I'm concerned that Hillary will be another center-right Democratic president... she's going to run unopposed or without any significant liberal challenger in the Democratic primary to pull her leftward.

The fact that Hillary is pretty much a shoe-in for president is just bad for America. Our political system isn't working very well. When Hillary wins, four of the last five presidents will belong to two families! Yuck. In large part I blame the GOP. There are really solid Republicans out there. But they get no traction and the GOP runs far-right candidates who can't win a general election, or ruin their moderates in the primary process with far-right insanity.

Was it televised? I think you might be able to make an argument against being required to attend something that would be televised. Especially if special accommodations were not made available to people that did not want to appear on camera/film.

Then again, delicious irony of someone claiming the constitution "feels" the way they do, and yet students should pay a fine in order to not attend a political speech made mandatory via a "chapel" requirement is AWESOME. Citing his own school's attendance system as some kind of basis for comparison is equally breathtaking!

Carry on!

I sat through a taping of the Daily Show with Nancy Pelosi as the guest.

Suck it up!

You got to see the succubus in person. Is she tall ?

Did she emit a foul smelling odor ?

No, lol.

And here we go again... Why would I not be able to use my own school's system to compare? Yes it is not the Same, but there are enough similarities to allow for comparison.

like chaosx says, suck it up and drive on

I bet you wrote in your diary:

Dear diary: I saw Pelosi in real life. She was everything I thought and so much more !

wait that was 3 2 questions, was the answer no to all 3 2?

The only thing that bothered me was her clanking of bracelets on his desk.

yes

This was the interview I sat through: http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/wxwr17/nancy-pelosi

Doesn't matter that *name removed* paid for my airline ticket out there. It was a taping I signed up for in advance.

Listen to her bracelets clank within a minute, lol.

I saw Hillary once...wait that was just a pile of rags !

Mostly because your willingness to listen or pay the fine has nothing to do with whether or not others should be asked to do the same?

Simply put, the fact that I'm happy to be forced to read moronic political ideologies on FFXIAH does not mean that others should be forced to do so.

Don't attend a Christian college then.

I'd go to an Atheist college but turns out it is just a balding overweight man bitching about stuff!

ftfy again!

Good advice to live by.

If you know anything about TheAmazingAtheist you'd know he's a well documented attention ***. Well that and there was a video floating around with him pouring hot oil on his balls for some ladies on cam.

The screams. Oh the screams.

Maybe he is just into pouring hot oil on his balls !

It actually goes back a lot further and a lot deeper than that. Most US Presidents have been rather more closely related than you might imagine. I'm pretty sure that extends even to Barack Obama who, let us never forget, had a mother of European stock (largely English, no less).

Not that I want to defend the lunatic, but how are you forced to do this?

I'm 100% not. Well, hmmm.... 90%?

That doesn't answer the question.

Even though I opt to read the comments and threads here, I habitually don't even process anything written by fonewear or Lordgrim. Zackan is finding his way into that group and I'm about 70% blind to Chaosx. What could possibly force you to read something?
