Schwarzenegger land revisited
I just saw a documentary about the election of Arnold as the governor of California.
I just want to ask how he has done so far as governor? Has he turned out to be as bad as you feared? Better?

Todd, the developer of Agast is a real Arnold fan. Poor bastard. Meaning Todd. But on the other hand, Todd thinks everyone needs a gun, so maybe it is just to be expected. The Agast message board is full of socialism vrs. whatever-it-is-that-Todd-represents discussion.

I think you have to look at the "totality" of his comments. Perhaps he's saying that a solution to homosexual marriages is forced sex change operations for one of the couple. Let's not jump to the conclusion that he doesn't think before he opens his mouth

Btw, is it just a coincidence that there's an ad at the top of the page for Schwartzenegger T-shirts?

Anyway, it seems like he's following Bush's example rather closely. Way to go, Arnold!

I also don't think everyone needs a gun. What I think is that the government's job is to protect everyone's right to have guns, as long as they don't use them to harm people. We human beings have the right to do anything so long is it doesn't take away another individual's equal rights. "Whatever-it-is-that-I-represent" is freedom of choice about how to spend my own money and take care of my own body. That's the basic reason behind of all of my political positions. |

I like Schwarzenegger's talk about the illegal marriages in San Francisco. If I were the mayor there I'd be kind of scared knowing that Arnold was coming to personally terminate me.

Welcome to this board Todd. It is refreshing to have someone present their political views and points in a non-elitist way.
You'll find that most everyone here that is not apolitical is socialistic in their leanings, to put it mildly. Btw, yours has to be the first post on current events and with more than one thing to say, in which I agreed 100%. |

http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html My favorite commentator and radio host Larry Elder has had an open invitation for Moore to come on his show to debate him for 504 days and 22 minutes now, but Moore won't go on. Larry has been asking tough questions of him, and now even softball liberal shows like "The View" are too much for Moore to handle. Larry is about to release his own documentary to expose Moore's deceptions. It is called "Michael and Me." Quote:

The U.S. has a high murder rate because of gangs. The situation wasn't created by guns, but by government programs that pay women to have fatherless children who are more than twice as likely to turn to crime, and drug prohibition that increases the price of drugs thereby creating a black market responsible for half of our crime and imprisonment. Places in the U.S. with the strictest gun laws like L.A. and Washington D.C. have the highest murder and crime rates, and the 30 or so states where it's legal to carry concealed firearms have the lowest. The actual factor that seems to affect crime rates all over the world is the degree to which criminals are punished for committing crimes. It's pretty simple, but politicians won't say that because it doesn't push the emotional buttons that get them elected. |
