Huh?

IMHO
Sore losers wanting their way or no way.
This election has shown that racial diversity still exist and prob will always.

Why, because white Republicans can't handle eight years of a black president?

[Docfeelgood]

Yep, for some.
You should hang out more at the racist boards and read the comments.

They have rain forests in British Columbia? I did not know that.

They're called temperate rainforests. Also in Victoria, Australia. Think of the 'X-Files' exterior locations, woods, moisture, lots of foliage... blueberries, et cetera.

Very pleasant to walk through, mostly.

This was overdue, they would be so much better off on their own. Ban abortions, ban gay marriage, keep creationism and stop socialism - glorious future awaits.

You just reminded me of this:

The man behind the theory of natural selection has just come second in an election for a seat in the US House of Representatives. Not bad for someone who's been dead for 130 years

The Guardian, Sunday 11 November 2012 20.30 GMT

Darwin: got more than 4,000 votes standing against creationist Republican encumbent Paul Broun.

Age: 73, when he died in 1882.

Appearance: Down-on-his-luck department store Santa.

Profession: English naturalist, author of On the Origin of Species, developer of the theory of natural selection, congressional also-ran.

Also-ran? Darwin once came second in an election for a seat in the US House of Representatives.

I never knew that. When did this happen? Last week.

But he's dead! He wasn't alone there. A dead man was elected to the Texas senate last Tuesday. Another dead guy was voted city council president of Rochester, Minnesota, and yet another won a seat on a county commission in Alabama.

OK – but he's not even an American citizen. He wasn't on the ballot either. Nevertheless, Charles Darwin received more than 4,000 write-in votes in Athens-Clark County, Georgia. The numbers from the other 24 counties in the 10th congressional district were not available at the time of writing.

Could he still win? It's unlikely. The incumbent, Republican Paul Broun, received more than 209,000 votes.

And the Democrat? Broun was running unopposed. The write-in campaign was sort of a protest.

But why Darwin? It has to do with a speech Broun gave to a church group in September in which he denounced both evolution and the big bang theory, as "lies straight from the pit of hell".

So he credits Satan with the theory of natural selection? He also said he believed the Earth is 9,000 years old, and was created in six literal days.

Perhaps his remarks were misinterpreted. There's a video of him saying it, standing in front of a wall of mounted deer heads.

I've said it before – that America is one crazy place. It gets worse – Broun is a qualified doctor, a climate-change denier and a member of the House committee on science, space and technology.

Do say: "It's shameful that in this day and age such a politician even exists."

Don't say: "Poor show, Darwin. In America, being dead is no excuse for being second best."

If Texas seceded it would probably be able to mount a successful campaign on its own to keep more immigrants out.

I'm not sure about Texas, but since 2008 there has been a net efflux of Mexicans from the US. Not only is the number of immigrants dramatically decreased, but the number of deportees has decreased largely due to the fact that there are fewer people to deport. The hispanic population in the US at this time is increasing largely due to the higher birth rate. Perhaps you have a fix for that too?

Wait for them to get wealthier and thus have fewer children.

TREASON

[Thorn]

Is it treason to file paperwork asking your government to dissassemble itself, i think its ironic don't know if its quite treasonous though.

[Alexander's Horse]

we've got temperate rainforests all down the east and west coast of Australia - very nice, maybe they should seccede.

[Thorn]

Too bad they didn't ask the President if we could SUCCEED as a NATION instead.

[DinoDoc]

Too bad they didn't ask the President if we could SUCCEED as a NATION instead.

The record of his first term says no.

[Thorn]

I don't think he was that bad, I mean he did keep us out of a world war and sinking in to a great depression that we never would have recovered enough to complain about.
