    Calling Uwe Boll 'mediocre' is being a bit too charitable.

    2008 Presidential Election - Obama v McCain

    Look up Diebold machines. I won't get into manipulation of the media by the government, but considering their attempts to cover up the warrantless wire-tapping and a heck of a bunch of other issues, I wouldn't put it past the Bush government.

    2008 Presidential Election - Obama v McCain

    No, just different wording. Both are the same source, and it's registration. More here (different source): http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/2/20/194050/564 Basically, the Democrats have always safely outnumbered the Republicans. Election results rely on the unpredictable independent voter...

    Russia 'goes to war' with Georgia

    Haha holy fuck, Russia wants to take on Israel now? What, will they enlist Iran and launch a Jihad on the Western infidels? Any moral high ground you had with Georgia was just lost, Russia.

    Secretly, the hundreds of millions of Democrats that support Obama are just trying to atone for their White guilt.

    Hmm, no, but IIRC hot dry rock beds run out fairly quickly (i.e. after about 20 to 50 years). Still a great idea, but you need to move around a bit I think.

    2008 Presidential Election - Obama v McCain

    A pro-life, anti-gays, Creationist global-warming skeptic who for some reason thinks America should have a STRONGER military (what, most powerful in the world isn't enough?). Why would that be I wonder? Uhg.

    2008 Presidential Election - Obama v McCain

    Electoral duds huh? So why does the Democrat party have 75 million registered members while the neocons have only 55 million? And why do the Democrat safe seats all have a large number of electoral votes? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/Swingstate.png

    Hot dry rock is pretty damn sweet, although like all geothermal, it's not really 'renewable'.

    Um, no. At least, it's very hard to see that happening if Obama is elected. Sauce, please, Nosferatu?

    It pollutes way less than coal, even if Australia does have the cleanest coal. I think I'd prefer an even mix of coal/renewables/nuclear.

    Eh, I'm no opponent of nuclear energy. It's certainly better than fossil fuels.

    Awwwww! Edit: And holy shit I pity the world if McCain gets in: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080324/dreyfuss/ McCain fucking well thinks that Ukraine of all places is dangerous to America and democracy. What on Earth? If McCain wins, hello World War 3.

    Russia 'goes to war' with Georgia

    Well, um, Starcraftmazter's rose-coloured view of Russia certainly doesn't stand up to reality, but Russia is doing significantly better than it was 8 years ago. It's 'poor' in some sense, yes, but not 'dirt poor'. It's better off than India, China, Brazil, which are in turn better off than the...

    No better than capitalism. Give me a mix of both any day.
