LBJ - A Democrat, Johnson succeeded to the presidency following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and after completing Kennedy's term was elected President in his own right in a landslide victory in the 1964 Presidential election.PiP wrote:LeBron James?cazsim83 wrote: since...LBJ
---I'm pretty sure that means popular vote
Also, a president with some of the greatest ideas, but poorly implemented which is part of the reason why our economy is crumbling - too much of this government handout bullshit....
Also, some lulz - "He was sworn in by Federal Judge Sarah T. Hughes, a family friend, making him the first President sworn in by a woman. He is also the only President to have been sworn in on Texas soil. Johnson was not sworn on a Bible, as none could be found aboard Air Force One; a Roman Catholic missal was discovered in Kennedy's desk, and this book was used during the swearing-in ceremony."
Popular vote, if I'm not absolutely on the wrong track here, means that you get also the majority of actual votes instead of just the elector(ate?)s. Like, Obama got 52 % of the American people's votes, BUT he actually got way more than 52% of the electors. It's this funky system full of flaws, points to abuse and traps to cripple the people's will they call "democracy" in America that allows presidents to be elected with less than half the voters actually voting him.

Polish people study America? That sucks. You probably know more about the place than we do. That'll be helpful when the world turns on us and decides to invade.PiP wrote:which reminds me how lucky I was I didn't need to know all presidents for my American Studies examcazsim83 wrote: LBJ - A Democrat, Johnson succeeded to the presidency following the assassination of President John F.

That's okay - we don't have to know all the American presidents, eitherPiP wrote:which reminds me how lucky I was I didn't need to know all presidents for my American Studies examcazsim83 wrote: LBJ - A Democrat, Johnson succeeded to the presidency following the assassination of President John F.

My dad was just bitching about this the night of the election - and in a way it makes sense - from what I do understand, it's meant to give some equality to the weight of each state depending on population - but if you think about it, it is actually a little more fair - like I said, LBJ being the last President besides Obama to win the popular vote - that means scratch Clinton, Carter, and whoever else was in between (Carter wouldn't have been any loss...)Kashluk wrote:Yup.

More than a two-to-one electoral votes ratio. And you have definitely been giving me lulz as I looked across the last two pages, Kashluk.

I was at the Wyndam hotel in downtown Phoenix tuesday night-- massive watch party that consumed the entire building and had the place so packed it took ten minutes to move through the lobby alone. Had to park a block away to avoid paying, but... you know how it is.
In any case, Arizona, McCain's home state, almost went blue. That's almost humorous. But I remain melancholy; much of the local races were not won, and one of this generation's biggest pieces of shit-- Sheriff Joe Arpaio, along with his lapdog, Andrew Thomas, were both reelected. That's real, real bad.
DML, I don't really know what to say, except... I'm sorry. If the enlightenment remains elusive to you, all I can extend at this point is my pity. I'm too tired and too busy to be angry at another comrade who simply had the bad luck of being born in a misleading-logic environment and retains his loyalty to said home.
Caz... yeah. You and I may disagree on some aspects but I can agree with you on that last point; nobody gives a FUCK about Taft. But now that I think about it... LeBron James might make an interesting '12 presidency race, going up against Palin and her super-intelligence that rivals the Master himself.
In any case, gentlemen, I think we can all agree that the markets need to be fixed up ASAP. If an entire country goes broke alongside the market of another, saaaaaay...... Greenland... it really needs correction. That, and we need to focus on removing fossil fuel consumption. Too early for Scalar tech, but ethanol and biodiesel are good ways to ween us off the addiction.
Corn's fuckin amazin, yo.

The only reason Barack Antichrist Obama won is because the international banking Jews conspiring with the Communist Jew MSM manipulated the financial crisis to "just happen" to occur right before the election. Expect the upcoming Jewnited Nations Socialist world government to try to eradicate the white race through a global UN-run "action program" consisting of abortion, brainwashing (even more than today) of young people in obligatory state-run pre-schools ("kindergartens") and third-world immigration to white nations. And probably succeed.
The outlook sure is dark. =(

Biofuel doesn't seem to be an option anymore amongst the great public, at least accross the Atlantic it isn't. A lot of statistics are showing that for the first time in, like, a century food production's so low that we actually wouldn't be able to feed the world's hungry, even if we wanted to. Until this moment and the past year or two, the distribution was the problem, not gross production, in terms of fighting hunger world wide. So if we plan on getting everyone's mouth full we need to cut back on biofuel or cut down some forests for more farming land, which leads to bigger green house effect since forests hold huge amounts of carbon (-dioxide).
I'm not entirely sure if that's a good or a bad thing. The potatoe part kind of confused me. I know it's probably just some sort of a figure of speech I'm not getting, but that wouldn't be the first time.Manoil wrote: And you have definitely been giving me lulz as I looked across the last two pages, Kashluk.

yea, not as a 'major' but my education included a one-term course in American Studies. Also one term in American History. By comparison, British history took two termsDogmeatlives wrote:Polish people study America? That sucks. You probably know more about the place than we do.

Anyhow these were just some of many courses and not the most important ones. However you can even have American Studies as your major course http://www.iaisp.uj.edu.pl/index.php
Haha, what a fucking pushover your country must be.PiP wrote:yea, not as a 'major' but my education included a one-term course in American Studies. Also one term in American History. By comparison, British history took two terms
Or we solve the third problem (third world overpopulation) by simply not doing anything at all. Far too long have Africans and Asians lived above their own pay grade with ZOG and Jewish-backed and Jewish-influenced NGO:s taking away our Western money to inflate third world numbers with artificial food and medicine they simply could never cover by themselves. It is, on a larger scale, like how subprime minority mortgage owners until recently could live above their own income in the US. Self-correction will have to come eventually, so let the problem solve itself!Kashluk wrote:Biofuel doesn't seem to be an option anymore amongst the great public, at least accross the Atlantic it isn't.

Look buddy... Im not american but i love U.S.A almost as much as i love my own country specially due to the role they have been playing troughout history by trying to uphold the internacional laws above anything else even ending up by prejudicing themselves most of times (like now). But even if i weren't a great USA admirer i'd still be an asshole if i didn't care about the next USA president. But the true right now is that america needs someone who can take it out of the financial hole were the Sr. fuckhead Bush putted it, and the right guy for the job is someone expert when it comes to economy... Barrack Obama, and not someone who thinks hes great because hes a War Hero (that ended up as a POW wich is something i find mostly intriging...) and uses Arnold Schwarzenegger in his campaign saying that barrack obama should get a few extra pounds if he wants to get luckyer with girls. And even Obama will realy have to effort himself in order to start covering holes cause right now the E.U has started closing lots of deals with USA cause right now any money that goes in there never gets back and if Obama dont act soon the Snow ball might get out of his reach. So right now the last thing he needs is paranoid smartasses of think of themselves as politicians speaking about ridiculous conspyricies. Right now Obama supporters and non-supporters shoulded get together ofttering him as many support as they can cause right now it doesn't matter if you like it or don't... You're all in his hands and that's it... But you're in good hands. Just pray to god with all you have asking him to protect USA from bush policies til 20,January 2009 (if im not mistaken) to see if he dont fuck you all even more til'there.TinyTeeth wrote:The only reason Barack Antichrist Obama won is because the international banking Jews conspiring with the Communist Jew MSM manipulated the financial crisis to "just happen" to occur right before the election.

Forests dont hold huge amounts CO2 Carbon dioxide, they hold the ability of decomposing it turning it into C (carbon) + O (oxigen) + O releasing more oxygen into the atmosphere by processing it using a method to wich i dont know the name in english, only in portuguese wich is "fotósintese" but i guess it should be kinda similar in english or should at least ring some bells. this method can also process CO (carbon monoxide). But the final result is still the same... Less Trees = More Carbon Dioxide = Less Oxygen = Less Ozone ( O3 ) = More Global Warming = Bad things...Kashluk wrote: "...cut down some forests for more farming land, which leads to bigger green house effect since forests hold huge amounts of carbon (-dioxide)."

No, both statements are true. A cut down tree even releases the CO2 it was holding (albeit gradually).Myron wrote:Forests dont hold huge amounts CO2 Carbon dioxide, they hold the ability of decomposing it turning it into C (carbon) + O (oxigen) + O releasing more oxygen into the atmosphere by processing it using a method
