If it weren't for his health care reform, I probably wouldn't even have health insurance right now, and while he could've done better in some areas, he's still done a hell of alot more then Bush has done, what did he accomplish, that awful "No Child Left Behind" act that hurt far more schools then it helped? Another Vietnam situation with Iraq and Afghanistan, are you seriously saying we would've been better off with John McCain? That guy was a terrible choice no matter how you look at it, , and Romney looks an even WORSE choice, he's such a fucking hypocrite, in the beginning he was for abortion and it was health care bill which "Obamacare"(A name I truly hate BTW) was based on, and of course he turned his back on all that just to get the nomination, if he gets elected, we are so fucked it's not even funny. |  |  |  |  |
Yeah, but doesn't he smell funny? Request for argument declined. Go back to raping marmosets, you filthy son of a monkey's whore!

Well I didn't become a fan of Metallica until long after that fiasco, so it wasn't an issue for me, but I definitely can't blame people for hating them for it, Lars was WAY out of line with his comments.

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
This is probably because for some reason the show is still running. I'm starting to wonder if the cast of that show have compromising photos of the executives at FOX...

I'm sure if FOX would've let them, the Simpsons would've ended awhile ago, but as long as that show pulls in ratings, it's in FOX's best interests to keep it around(too bad they didn't cancel Bob's Burgers though, how that show even got greenlit I will never know)

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
And I'm sick of hearing about how much better 'South Park' is, because that's only obvious. PS - Futurama, too.

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
I'm sick of hearing South Park too but for the opposite reason, I think it's an immensely overrated show that should've been cancelled a long time ago and i'm mystified as to how it's still around.

Not this one, apparently. To be honest, I usually just skim.

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
I've heard it rumored that when the Simpsons began as its own show (after spinning off from the Ulmman one) that Brooks and Groening originally planned to see if they could make it last for 10 seasons. If it did, they would do a movie and call it quits at the end of season 10. If this was true, it doubtlessly got ditched when Fox began waving stacks of money around.

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
Well what i'm saying is that Groening and co can't end the show even if they want to, it's up to FOX as to whether the show stars or goes, they have the final say, so if the creators did want to walk out after 10 years, they wouldn't have been able to without FOX's say so. Though that's not to say that money didn't play some role, Harry Shearer more or less admitted that the show wasn't as good as it once was and they money was the only reason he's stuck around.

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
Yeah. I mean, I don't think the word 'homosexuality' is in the bible even now

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
The new testament was written 2000 years ago. The old testament was written between 2500 and 5000 years ago. The word "homosexuality" came into our lexicon in about 1890. So no, it ain't in there... The bible was used to control the population. Plain and simple. Throw away the bible, write The Golden Rule on your bedroom ceiling and live your life...

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
Good call on the Marriage/Gay Marriage topic, Vex. I'm for equal human rights as well.
Probably a can of worms but the American's opposed to "Obamacare". To me it just seems like you'll be with most of the developed western world.
I can't say I fully understand it but that won't stop me from having an opinion on it (does this make me an American now?).

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
Not to mention the fact that our current system (pre "Obamacare) is terrible and no one disagrees with this.

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
Actually, the term "Obamacare" needs to go away. It's vapid and idiotic.

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
Healthcare in America is a joke... Obamacare does not make it better. Not sure it makes it worse, but there's nothing that makes it better.

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
Yes there is -- it can't be denied to people with pre-existing conditions. That's manifestly better

 Re: Things everyone just needs to get over and be done with
Also family insurance plans can now cover people up until the age of 26, if it wasn't for that I wouldn't even have health insurance right now, so to say that there's "nothing" that can make our health care better is a profoundly stupid and ignorant thing to say.
