Careful, a funny situation that happened "politically" follows. Ready?

So you don't like that I'm simply doing the job I was elected for? Grandiose posturing and useless proclamations are your style? Right back atcha, ya noodle-spined jags!

My favorite part was this:

Quote

Indeed, the EU has attitudes in inverse proportion to its ability to act on them. It's able to strut and preen on the world stage secure in the knowledge that nobody expects it to do anything about anything. If entire nations want to embrace self-congratulatory, holier-than-thou gesture politics as a way of life, why not give them a hand?

I love the reaction when you give someone what they want, and it turns out they never REALLY wanted it in the first place, they just wanted an opportunity to beat their chests and feel as if they were actually doing something meaningful.

That's along the lines of:

"F me? No, F you!"

Hey if the Austrians don't want to rename the stadium after Tookie, they could always name it "Barabus Memorial Stadium." I mean, hey, he was let go and they can celebrate how the former Roman system worked

So, they want to take his name off, fine. But why would they want to name it after someone who murdered multiple people for fun, bragged about it, then founded what has become the West Coast's largest social and violent problem?

Quit calling him Ahnold. It isn't funny.

It may not be funny to you, but according to Gov. Schwarzenegger, it is at least phonetically correct.

ChadTower · « **Reply #6 on:** January 02, 2006, 03:53:03 pm »

I still think it is funny.

If they strip Arnold of his Austrian citizenship, and he wants nothing to do with them either, can he now run for president?

No, you have to be born a citizen to run for president in the US, and for good reason, it guards against that one in a zillion chance of a deep cover operative gaining the presidency.

Btw, excellent move on Arnold's behalf.

Lets not do anything worthwhile, lets change the name of something.

Symbolism over substance

Someone told me tookie sold about 200 books? Sounds like some rich celebrity bought them all.

Like when political supporters buy copies of your book for $1000 each. And the book is really a light reading leaflet, "Famous Jewish Sports Legends"

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll use the correct spelling on the stadium if they do end up naming it after him.

It already was named after him, and he's refusing the "honor".

If they keep it named after him, I'm wondering if he'll sue. THAT would be even funnier!

Maybe someone should "TM" his name to protect the use of his name for him

shmokes · « **Reply #16 on:** January 03, 2006, 04:58:02 am »

I think it's retarded that he can't run for President. What if the American people WANT him to be their president? I mean, if we didn't want an Austrian born body-builder/actor for a president couldn't we just not vote for him? Isn't that the way it works?

nostrebor · « **Reply #17 on:** January 03, 2006, 11:58:07 am »

I strongly recommend that you write him in on your ballot.

Just put Ahnold. Everyone will know what that means.

ChadTower · « **Reply #18 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:06:48 pm »

I think it's retarded that some people think the Constitution is retarded.

I think it's retarded that some people think that it is retarded for some people to think that the Constitution is retarded..

ChadTower · « **Reply #20 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:18:38 pm »

I think the hole recently opened in the fabric of retardation is retarded.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #21 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:20:52 pm »

but does it take a retard to reconize a retarded action?

ChadTower · « **Reply #22 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:22:17 pm »

Probably not, but it takes a retard to repeat it.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #23 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:33:08 pm »

I was merely pointing out your retardeness

ChadTower · « **Reply #24 on:** January 03, 2006, 12:36:31 pm »

I'm not the one who started the retarded.

That didn't work on 13 year old girls and it won't work now.

but it did work on them when I was 13 also........

Cry me a river. How about the three/fifths clause? How about making alcohol illegal? How about making it legal again. How about if we ban gay marriage? How about if we guarantee it? Flag burning amendment?

Don't be absurd. It's a document written by men, subject to the particular idiosyncracies and paranoias that happen to be prevelant at any given time period. Overall it's a great document, but it didn't fall from the sky.

DrewKaree · « **Reply #33 on:** January 03, 2006, 05:40:32 pm »

I think we should see what Ahnold has to say.

Ahnold.

So do something about it.

That paints it in a different light, sorta.

Ahnold.

shmokes · « **Reply #36 on:** January 03, 2006, 07:31:28 pm »

Um....don't you think you're maybe milking this line a bit? A number 1, what the hell are you talking about? I can't have an opinion about something? Out of curiosity Chad, if you don't like people who stab babies, why don't you just do something about them? Hmm...didn't think so.

And B number 2, I do things about it on a regular basis. I'm active in politics. I write a political column. I'm going to be a lawyer. I hope to run for political office. But what, exactly, do you propose I do about everything I don't like about the constitution, or everything else for that matter? Why don't you do something about Michael Moore or Celine Dion? Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you have to, or even can do something about it. Haven't you ever told someone that Michael Moore is retarded, or fat, or dumb, or unethical?

You're so bent on your "You just complain but don't give solutions" material that it doesn't occur to you that when I say that it's retarded to make being born in America a requirement for becoming president that there's a solution so incredibly obvious that any rational person such as myself assumes that it goes without saying. But in case it doesn't go without saying, here:

Don't make that a requirement.

Zakk · « **Reply #37 on:** January 03, 2006, 07:42:39 pm »

Our constitution says that as long as you think saying 'Ahnold' is funny you can be Prime Minister. We're simple that way.

shmokes · « **Reply #38 on:** January 03, 2006, 07:50:50 pm »

Just one more thing I can do nothing about

ChadTower · « **Reply #39 on:** January 03, 2006, 08:12:30 pm »

One problem with the spiffy little speech shmokes gave:

He wasn't there when the country was founded.

He wasn't there to say "sure, there is danger that the Brits could just send someone over here to try and be King, but what the hell, someday we may want that."
