rec.autos.simulators

Todd

ps. I don't vote, never have voted and never will.

Well we think campaign finance reform will solve problems, but its ruins
the ablitity for people who believe in a person from supporting them with
money.  The big stink this year is that Bush has raised so much money and
he did not take matching funds from the Governement and he is not limited
by the rules for taking matching funds.

I do not think reform in this area will solve anything, but it will limit
our ability to support people we want elected.  As always there are
problems with any system and there is a way around every solution.  I think
the current admistration here has demostrated that enough already.

I mean a copple of crazy guys with names like Bush or***who are telling
people what they gonna do. And when they are choosen, they never do that
things they were telling. And the discussions between such guys on the
television. Hehehehehe. I mean: it says enough that a guy like Ronald
Reagon, who once was an actor, was choosen for president, hehehe. He was
still acting when he was the president.....

I am glad this procedures are far more normal in Europe!! And when i want to
go to the theatre in Europe, well.....maybe they can invite Bush or
Gore.....that will be fun (nothing more)

I wouldn't be bragging about European politics.  Does the name Cicciolina
ring a bell?  Kind of puts Clinton's escapades in perspective. :-)

I said the procedure is 'far more normal' than in the USA. Ofcourse here are
also stupid things, but then you dont see the whole crowd is supporting it
!!!
Anyways this is rec.autos.simulators
Ofcourse Bush is also 'simulating' but lets stop this discussion here !

"Far more normal" isn't very descriptive, since different countries have
different ways of doing things.  The Italians may be satisfied with changing
governments every 8 months or so (or whatever they're up to these days), but
other countries seem to prefer less volatile transitions.  You've ignored
these differences in methods between individual European countries.  All you
*have* done is make vague claims that US politics is simply entertainment
and is somehow inferior to European politics.  As far as entertainment goes,
I'd much rather watch the British Parliament in session for political
entertainment than the somewhat dull sessions of the US Congress.  (I'm
totally serious about that last bit btw- I love those exchanges and the
responses from the crowd in England.  Very entertaining, and I mean that in
a good way.)  But as for US politics, there's a lot going on every day of
every year, so if you're basing your opinion on the last 8 months of
campaigning then you're missing the big picture.  The really important
issues are being debated and fought over all the time, not only when the
elections approach, so by the time the conventions come around it's a bit
anti-climactic.  We already know pretty much what the parties' platforms
will be since they've been talking about these things for months, if not
years.  Sure, my jaw would drop if the Republicans came out in favor of
*** on demand or the Democrats decided to s***their support of
affirmative action plans.  But its not going to happen.

If you want to bash the US system then go right ahead, preferably somewhere
other than ras (as Mr. Buttery has said, rasf1 is the place for that :).
I'd probably jump in with you on some things.  But simply saying that "the
US election sucks" and "we're better than you" isn't very interesting or
informative.  Matter of fact, there are countless NVIDIA vs 3Dfx threads
with more substance than your last couple of posts.  And they're probably
all more interesting and on topic than either of *our* posts have been.

End of long pointless rant.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled GP3 bashing/praising.

This has always puzzled us Brits (the flag, not the communist camps).
Has no-one in the US worked out that people in Iran, Cuba etc burn your
flag *because* (some of) you get so worked up over it? If I saw someone
burning my flag, I'd probably be a bit annoyed, but it's hardly WW3
material.
