oh
and
5/ people can't want to have 'climate controle measures' and 'growing economy objectives' at the same time. most of the time the treehuggers are the one that buy a new apple iphone every 2 years and over-consumate just to be hip, while then posting hundreds of 'tweets' about how we should protect the world's scarce resources, being mad about developing african countries that they are still using charcoil to diesel to run their generators for hospitals etc...

And where people kill each other for control over coltan deposits so that said smart phones can be manufactured

They've had me howling with laughter for the last few days

If over-consumating is hip then I don't want to be square!

This is not true.

The exact quote in people wasnt true...but he did make a statement similar to it about the republicans

1 - agree
2 - its on its way
3 - true
4 - she was the better option....not a great option or good.....just the better of the two IMO

oh i agree, but people should have just come out and say 'none of both options are valid'

15000 people voted for Harambe

meh, I'm not too worried.

Where do you live?

my take-aways from today:

1/ world is better of without religions
2/ US is now oficially a third world country
3/ no politician ever keeps his pre-election promises - so why are people worried of Trump keeping his? only way he could win the US elections was winning over the 'extreme' voters - his whole strategy was based on this. He'll be ok as a president (at least when compared with other US presidents and his opponent)
4/ no idea why people in Europe / Canada kept on supporting Hillary as a 'great candidate' - in Europe she would be considered in the same category as Wilders, Le Pen and the Austrian and Hungarian right-wing politicians..

WRT (3), The problem is not just what Trump will do, but the fact that he enmpowered and normalized racism, sexism and xenophobia in the larger population. Most of us here are straight white males who have really not experienced any kind of hardship or discrimination because of what we were born, but to visible and religious minorities and the LGBTQ community, this is terrifying.

WRT (4) I think the people that you mentioned are very apt comparables... but for Trump, not Hillary. I do not for one second think that she is a great candidate, but in choosing between a lawyer who has served the country for years and a con-artist businessman with no political experience, it shouldn't even be a discussion.

But you know that would never have happened.

It is what it is. Lets just wait and see.
So far, its what day 9.....and the sun has come up every day, and we've even had a super moon. The world is still turning/rotating

You are already starting to an increase in acts of racism.

Hard to believe that many people got their asses up and drove to the polling station to vote for an Ape.. Well difficult.

I'd rather trade Rielly for Lebda than look at another post about (frank)ing US politics.

And it's so very predictable - we saw exactly the same thing in the UK following Brexit.
