If it had been up to the world....

Here, people from all over the world could vote over the internet. The vast majority voted for Kerry (77.1%) while Bush support was hard to find (9.0%). Ofcourse, most people on the internet are more liberal than others, but still. interesting. Also interesting since Bush got most of his support from the middle east (37% voted for bush there). But this can be explained since only 500 people from that region voted. (as opposed to, say, Europe with 80,350 votes)

Good thing we don't let people from other countries vote for our President.

Yeah, good thing you f*** with the lives of people from all over the world ...but good thing they don't get a chance to have a voice in it.

Typical autocratic, bully mentality.

We don't have a say in other countries elections(not withstanding Iraq and Afghanistan - giving them the ability to hold FREE elections) so no other country will have a say in our elections.

the same old America-hating self, eh Bishop?

Well, it is a good thing that only Americans have a say in who will rule America.

If only the USA was so conciliatory towards other nations it would be a PERFECT WORLD. Unfortunately the badass USA finds a need to manipulate and intervene all over the world, resulting in a smoldering hatred that finds its outbursts in events like embassy bombings and the events of September 11th.

to bad the world doesn't get a say who rules it

The most charitable interpretation of this statement is that it's extremely naive.

[Samildanach]

Its pretty sad when people on the internet have a much better grip on the issues than the people actually living in the country.

where did i say that i hate america?

there are certain americans that we could do without. namely those who behave like fascists. or if it makes you feel better i could use the phrase "right-wing nationalists".

Dieval, you need to learn the difference between patriotism and blind patriotism; you are the posterchild for the latter. How many
times do you have to be called on for your pathetic charges of hating America every time someone dares to criticize our government?

Tough shit when your people will continue to be decapitated and blown into pieces. (And yes, you do have a say in other country's elections).

When you give knee jerk answers like this one - "tough shit" - you only manage to frustrate the other party and increase the cycle of hatred and violence directed towards you. Sooner or later you too (or those like you) will be placed into a vulnerable position and that party wil respond "tough shit!" when your pathetic family will plead so that you won't get decapitated.

It's a "tough shit" world, after all, isn't it.
Keep up the good work..

It seems that people who do not live in U.S. would elect Kerry.

I do not care who those people may choose in their countries. None of my business. Why some people try to stick their noses into none of their business ? As a result of their activity, they even have an impudence (impertinence) to post that moronity on the Net, as an (alleged) "exhibit" on others opinion ???

Since the Net is widely open to all with access to it, they would dare to say :
- "hey, I am free to speak"

Yep, and you are free to go, as well. Have a nice journey (trip) :-)))
Keep up with your opinions, people, and masturbate your grey cells.
Have a good workout :-))) We can rent you Monica, if need it :-)))

Pacifism - made in XXI century - sux, all the way. People who represent that trend can not even come close to fundaments of pacifism that appeared in U.S. in late '60. I would say, that pacifists - made in XXI century - rather represent "conformity", indeed and instead.

[bishop]

that sort of "tough shit" mentality is a good part of the reason why "they" hate us.

[Dieval]

It amazes me that you people are avocating turning over the election of OUR(the US) leader to the world?? HELLO???!?!?! Are you people insane??
The majority of people in our nation have spoken. Get over it.

[bishop]

that's not what's being advocated..

many of us don't like the us vs. them mentality that you want more of.

bush might be president, but he isn't my leader.. more like my master.
