What's on your mind?
nobody is going to. half of all american elections are a total front. when we elect a new president, they have to REALLY screw things up not to get a second term (Bush sr., Carter) When there is an incumbent, the other party just kind of puts someone out there to give everyone else a sense of where their party stands on issues, and to cockblock the other party as much as possible. 'Murican politics is basically a big game of Bo-Taoshi.

I'm behind on my research so I have absolutely no idea who is worthy of the vote this year. Ron Paul is the only candidate that I'm aware of and that's only on a first/last name basis, other than that nothing is known of the other nominees.

how do you not know who your own president is?

Sorry for my absence, everyone; a lot of things have been going on. The most recent of these being a serious depression, which was both the result of being in a college dorm room next to a-holes, and poor musical career advice causing me to lose some potential interested employers.

A new Tumblr I made for myself has some other info:

I think he said he didn't know who the nominees were, not the president. Which is understandable. I can't name any other political party leader in my country except David Cameron and Nick Clegg.

On my own personal, "What's on my mind?" thingy, I have to things on the brain. First of all, I need to warn everybody about Tales of Vesperia. Please don't play it. It's a horrible story. Oh, sure, it starts with the debate about whether vigilantism is right but before long it reveals itself as another environmentalist GLOBAL WARMMIINNGGG storyline. Seriously... I'm green and, quite frankly, I've seen this story enough times that I'm on the verge of going, "Eff the environment!"

My second thing on my mind is Richard Dawkins. A woman complains of sexual harassment at an atheist convention and he responds by making fun of her. Mr. Dawkins... as an Englishman, as a man from the nation that invented the code of chivalry, you should be utterly ashamed of yourself.

I saw something last night on this that I found quite interesting.
"Obama actually talked policy, Romney just tried to show everyone that he is human."
The fact that Romney actually has to work to prove that he's human says enough for me. I don't know why all Republicans think that having a businessman in office is what we need. We need business cut out of government entirely. I'm a Moderate, and I've already solidly decided not to vote Republican this election.
and @samven... didn't like Tales of Vesperia, eh? I didn't mind it so much. I really liked the cast except for that little shit with the hammer (whats-his-name). Have you played Tales of Graces f? It is the first Tales game that I had a hard time getting really into. Not as immersive.

government should provide venture capitalist services to drive innovation. if nobody else is willing to take the first step towards innovation, it has to be government, otherwise we end up like china.


also, why don't we have robots that can run a farm? it's 2012, and we still have to pay for food. why is this still a reality? food should be free because robots should do the farming. but again, nobody is willing to take the first step towards that reality because people are stupid and afraid of socialism.

... actually yeah that's a good point. We could end slave labour by putting machines in their place.

Then again, those families themselves need the work and money even if it's a piddly amount, and if they lose that it's not like the robot providing first-world places are going to show enough compassion to compensate them.

At first, progress always hurts. In the long run though it almost always benefits everyone. That's if it's the right kind of progress of course - progress for humanity and not progress for the sake of progress.
