Bill O'Reilly just hit a new low there folks.Quote:
In that regard, Pat Buchanan is right.
Look its the old power structure and if you take a long look at history, its worked for us since the founding. Thats why they want to preserve it. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Does anyone take Bill O'Reilly seriously?
White people.
Does anyone take white people seriously?
Bill O'Reilly.
Don't make me lose respect for McCain :(
McCain didn't say it.
White people are all, "badee badee doo doop".
Those of you who don't think this is real clearly don't have any insight into corporate America. When large layoffs happen, I can tell you that HR steers the management away from "higher risk" people, i.e. minorities and women, because they are afraid of lawsuits. It sickens me every time I hear it, but it is very much real. I was shocked when an Asian woman was laid off a while back until I realized that she was Canadian, where bullshit like Affirmative Action doesn't exist.

John McCain is a twisting in the wind politician who will say and do anything to get elected. The man has next to no convictions.
But he was a POW!!!! LISTEN TO HIM!!!!
Affirmative Action does exist. It's called the Whi... well you know where I'm going with this.
I'm not a fan of Affirmative Action, you can't fix a wrong with another wrong, but I definitely have to be smarter and work harder to be treated as an equal.
True.. The guy is actually decent and would be likable if he would just be straightforward on his stances. Right now he's just acting like the Republican version of Hillary Clinton.Quote:

McCain for example was held for 5 years, beaten constantly. This is not a man I want looking for the button.
Not true. He continues to heavily support/cheerlead for the war in Iraq, even though it's highly unpopular and threatens to cost him the nomination. He's willing to kiss asses and schmooze people to achieve a media darling status but that's got nothing to do with his convictions. Who's your candidate for 2008?Quote:

Are you kidding? The last caucus with a pro-war stance is the GOP, specifically the white lunatics (read as: evangelicals) that McCain has been courting for the past two years after saying prior to that how much disdain he held for them and their leaders.Quote:

The fact that corporate whores like 50 cent are considered role-models by many black youth absolutely pisses me off.
Where the fuck are our scientists, CEOs, senators and ambassadors dammit?
I guess you missed my cocaine point in my previous post.Quote:

Good for you. I on the other hand have no problem with a person having done coke unless they intend to run the country and have direct control of the armed forces.
Wait, you live in Canada. Your opinion has no relevance whatsoever on this subject.

Probably the closest thing we'll get to another Carl Sagan.
Sagan > Tyson, but it's nice someone is trying.
On the planet killer bit, I remember hearing him talk about the letters he got from little kids saying how he was a bad man and that Pluto is REAL and IT IS A PLANET [insert drawing of Pluto].
Nerds.
