Well they got to start somewhere. I don't think I would make it as a politician, I would be eaten alive by all those that just play to people's fears and by those under the control of third parties.

I hate politics and politicians. If it were viable to live as a Jedi, I would totally be a hermit with a laser sword.

I'm in a tough spot come November; basically, it's between Clinton and Trump. So my choices are pretty much limited to "Raging Asshole" or "Aggressive C***." And I don't use that last word any other time. But I won't go there. It just sucks.

That's the problem with a two party system you're just picking which side of the same stick to wanna take; both sides hurt just as much.

If it helps your decision, take into account that whoever gets in is regarded as "the most powerful person in the world". So consider how the person you're voting for will react to the rest of the world.

Or, which one will not run their mouth to the point they initiate World War 3.

Problem is that both have proven themselves in that regard. Though my hope is that when they receive power that things just go on as normal. Yes, my extreme hope is that both candidates are just blow hards.

At least I don't support Ted Cruz.

Also, when I say a few days, that means I don't know exactly how long. I took a break yesterday didn't I?

Also at least Trump is truthful and doesn't have a criminal record. He's better than Hillary in many ways.

Anyway, sorry for the touchiness for the past couple weeks. I feel better now. (And no don't take that as a masturbation joke.)

Isn't trump going to court in Juneish time over his trump university? A genuine question as it's just something I've heard about here and there.

Nem you could come and live in blighty but our politicians aren't much better to be honest. That and our weather sucks.

Going bankrupt multiple times is surely bordering on criminal.

Those were smart business decisions. When the economy is bad, and you're company is going bankrupt, the best thing to do is to file for bankruptcy, so that you don't lose more money. What was he supposed to do? If you think you can criticize a multi-billionaire for his business decisions when you are only a site admin, you seem to be misplacing yourself in the subject authority list. Donald is someone that more people should learn from rather than blindly criticizing his decisions when they in the end usually benefit the bigger picture.

How can I criticise? HOW CAN I CRITICISE?

I'll **** tell you how I can criticise. I watched my Aunt and her two kids suffer from my then Uncle who filed for bankruptcy every few years. I watched how they had their belongings taken from them, I watched how they were forced to move house every few years. I watched how my Aunt sunk into depression because of it all, and how it took years for her to rebuild her life after she escaped from him.

So don't you dare sit there and tell me that I don't have a right to criticise, because I've seen the repercussions of bankruptcy and how it affects other people.

You want to sit there and tell me it was a business decision? Fine, you can do that, but take a step back and look at how many people those bankruptcies affected, how many lost their jobs, money that may have been owed to them.

-edit-
FYI, I spent 12 and a half years working for an Accountant, I've spent another 7+ years working as a Financial Controller, I KNOW FINANCES. So don't you dare try to elude that because I'm "just an Admin" I don't have the necessary experience to comment. Pathetic.

You. Keep. Bringing. It. Up.

As I said, I have no problem with politics being MOCKED. It's when someone tries to tell me that my reasons for mocking are wrong and they get defensive and then insinuate that I lack the intellect to truly understand.

Hell, I live in Australia, in the last five years we've had about 6 different Prime Ministers and we've only helped elect two of them. Our entire system is a mockery, so what am I suppose to think in regards to politics?

6 over a five year period yelp! I didn't realise you Australians had it like that. I've only been aware of the last two pm you had. Though you are dead right on the bankruptcy subject burn, the only person that benefited was ole oomupa lumpa himself. Hard to be given redundancy money when's there's nothing left

Plus the flow on effect, it's not just employees, but suppliers as well. They never see all their money which in turn puts pressure on their business.

Did you guys hear about that Catholic priest that was killed by ISIS super recently? Man isn't that depressing. I'm not Catholic but I feel horrible for him.

Well cool, I think you dulled my point a bit.

I don't think you conveyed your point quite clear enough.

Do you feel horrible for the thousands of people that have been killed around the world because of ISIS?

Just seemed odd that you would single out on bloke when he's just one amongst thousands who have suffered at the hands of these gits.

The Catholic priest was killed by method of crucifixion. It's just a horrible way to die.
