i wouldn't mind barack obama as our new president.

I wouldn't mind stephen colbert as president.

I think we can handle it just fine, sure there will be alot of controversey, but we'll get over it and see in the end it's not much differene then a male president.

Now if this is regarding Hilary Clinton then there's another thing coming, I have read books people wrote on the scams and all the shit she's pulled, USA will come to an end if she ever becomes president.

That's an overstatement by far. It wouldn't come to an end, but I don't think she'd be the coolest cat for the job.

As for the republicans and democrats? I don't care, as long as they aren't on the far right or far left, then I think it's okay.

You have no idea how awesome that would be.

Oi >_>

Republican or Democrat doesn't matter as long as they aren't extremists and nutjobs. i.e. Howard Dean

[nox]

Actually, that really does matter.

since when? it's been a long time since the people running as democrats acted like democrats.

rebpublicans have held their ground though, conservative as ever.


and athean - i was joking, brkn said "as long as it's not a republican", then alias reversed it, then hawk "QFE"'d him, then i did the same to brkn. just a joke

i'm not too sure if what i just said made sense, i'm not usually too keen on blaming things on lack of sleep, but i am just tired as hell

Well you see in my opinion it's hard to tell the difference between a centrist democrat and a centrist republican. We need someone with middle views who will be pretty much alright with everyone. People like say... John McCain or Joe Liberman. They aren't so far right or left wing. That is how you win elections, methinks. You get to be someone everyone likes.

Anyways it's a shame that no women so far who are major besides Clinton are running. She, I hope will not win. Sadly I think the only reason people know her name is because of her husband. I mean I swear she must be using him because honestly no other woman would put up with the crap her husband gives her otherwise xD Oh well.

i overall just don't believe in the party system anymore, the fundamentals aren't being followed...so what's the point?

[redlion]

Wow, i'm sorry I can't really comment on that, that was a really dumb statement.

Actually, what he said made a lot of sense... if you lived in 1900. The term Yellow Dog Democrat used to refer to the deep south and their candidates. Its only in the past few decades that their roles (and subsequent power bases) have switched.

Take US history people!

a great example is abe lincoln. he was a republican who was from up north aiming to abolish slavery. in addition to that, he was completely anti war. specifically the civil war. if needed i can elaborate more when i get back..but i dunno that should be ok

[Ives]

Exactly. Republican and democrat were just terms, but now its become a quick way to label who's liberal and who's conservative..which is bullshit, because there are plenty of moderate republicans and democrats. I'd rather vote republican, though I'm fairly libertarian. But I believe in a republican system.

[nox]

And what decade is this election in? Okay. This is not a historical debate

yeah, but my post was about the two main sides - it was only turned into a history debate because you insisted on being rude

[nox]

No, actually you said "since when" which triggered people to respond to things that happened decades ago and thus started the line. Be logical now, and stop trying to blame your crap on me

since when does everything have to be completely relevant to be a valid post on codex? nevermind codex, but any debate. can you every accept being wrong? you don't need to pull "lol lets stay on topic "

edit - oops made a spelling mistake fixed

[redlion]

When did I say that things are not valid when they are not related to the debate? You had a valid point, too bad it's not what I was talking about. Don't you remember?
I was reffering to present time, not the 1900's, it's not my fault you misinterpreted my statement.

No, his reference was to the fact that the people calling themselves democrats today are nothing like the democrats that used to be. He was reflecting on the fact that the political party's views have radically changed. They used to be pro-slavery for instance. Now they're pro-every-minority-in-existance (and some that aren't)

[redlion]

This is what I interpreted:

It does not matter if the president is democrat or republican.
Actually it does matter
since when?

Yes, one of his other points was how democrats act now from back then, but if that was his main point then "since when?" shouldn't be in there.

Don't be obtuse. Most of the posts on codex aren't on topic. Its sort of the only theme we've got.

[nox]

Sooo, the only thing I have done is defended myself, which is what happens in a debate believe it or not.

nah man see that's where you're wrong, ur supposed to defend you're ideas and not yourself

you dont gotta agree with what people say but sayin something like "that was so dumb i cant even comment on it" (which rly makes no sense, because you are commenting lol ).

the debate forum is for fun, not for proving people wrong or none of that, sharing ideas.

[nox]

And where did you learn that silly idea? I have to quote that:
Mabye a copy/paste from dictionary.com on the term "debate" is in need?

And no, on the debate board you defend yourself and your idea

To engage in argument through the expression of opposing points of view.

opposing point
i dnt get ur point, you cant argue facts, so proving people wrong wouldnt be an argument

how can u prove someone wrong in "Is america rdy for a female president" except if someone cites some incorrect information or somethin like that

Completely agreed. Codex lacks the mature member count in order to have a good, clean debate without anybody taking it personally or too seriously.

Too true :[

Oh well.

I honestly cant see what gender has to do with anything. A female president is just as viable as a male president.
