Since this thread doesn't have any rhyme or reason, I think I found out where your avatar comes from @chilluminati . We have a Korean friend that lives with us for the next month since he's on vacation in Norway. And he brought some weird jelly candy with him. imgur.com/fTvkq8O Looks familiar huh? I'm pretty sure it's from an anime, Crayon Shin Chan. Don't ask me why I know that. I remember watching that when I was little. In retrospect it was likely some kind of "sanitised" version because I don't remember it being as lewd as Wikipedia described it. |

Chilluminati confirmed to be an animu character. Explains the anti-trump attitude.

Man, this thread is WEIRD.
By the way, what I know about american politics comes from video games. Especifically, Metal Gear Rising.
Are all american senators nanomachine-infused or only republican ones?

lol yes it is a picture of Shin from Crayon Shin-chan, one of my favorite anime series which I was watching on Hulu when I was debating between using my previous avatar or something new.  Also I would love to find some Shin-chan themed Jelly candy those look awesome! |

Well, I don't worry about it too much, as I said in my post the USA president is for the most part a puppet to corporations and the interests thereof. That said if he actually wins I do worry about some executive orders that don't interfere with those aforementioned interests. Chances are the amount of bullshit I'll have to go through to get a passport and travel will most likely be tripled (Which believe me it already is a headache to do), imports will most likely have to come from Canada now which will make electronics more expensive and trading relationships in general will take a huge hit and chances are our oil-based economy will have to find a new major client pretty fast or else it will sink even faster. As a person; I don't know what to think of him, he just says everything and anything the conservatives of the country want to hear and quite frankly I don't care very much about his opinion. He strikes me as just another ignorant bureaucrat that ended up in a position of power by his heritage rather than his own merits. So in a nutshell, the whole presidency thing and the legislations are more Economical than political, right? Basically, yeah. You have to remember the US president doesn't bring any important decission into effect (with the exception of excutive orders which are a mayor fuck you to the whole system). Most of the important decissions are taken by the congress and every person there has an "sponsor" behind them, therefore the decissions are taken by those that can sneak the biggest bribes unnoticed under the table. |

By my arabian origin and nature, i'm considered a terrorist everywhere lulz! The US embassy here is like a frikkin fortress, taking up the length of 2 streets. Yankee bastards  If Trump can reduce that crap, and ban Anime, he's gonna fulfill my dreams xD! Everytime i go on teamspeak, people would join my room and start really crazy discussions. |

It almost makes me a shame to even call myself an american. Not all the american people are bad and out of a country of 330 million people there are good ones in there. Do not let the actions of a few determine the people of a country. It's not our fault our damn government wont stay out of other people's business. We elect these people who are supposed to represent us but they are just so corrupt. It will be nice someday when the democrats and republicans stop fighting and focus on getting America back on track and back to the way it was. When we are back to being a world power. We seem to get hit with one problem after another and none of those people in Washington want to fix those problems. They just want money that's all. Those politicians are responsible for sending our men to die out in far off overseas places because they profit from it.

(...) Those politicians are responsible for sending our men to die out in far off overseas places because they profit from it. That's another problem in the whole world. I live in a country that works like the US when it comes to politics, and our army, despite being much weaker, also pushes the idea of patriotism on us and tries to recruit teenagers with the typical "cool and challenging" advertisement. It's beautiful to have patriotic feelings, right? But they only really exist to defend people in power, it's the same as "long live the Queen" and "hail Hitler" and it gets teens in armies and giving up their lives. Terror? Pffff! The lower ranks of terrorists groups are obviously composed of teens who were taken by similar ideals. If we call what they do "brainwashing", we can't look at what our countries do and call it something else. In fact, I think that's why mercenary/modern pirates became a permanent "class" of character in movies and other types of fiction: they fight their fight for money, they don't risk themselves for someone else's money. |
