Suiciding just because Bush won the elections, is just pathetic, some people are crazy when it comes to politics!

Qwert · 11-07-2004, 09:35 AM

Oh my ****ing god. What the hell is wrong with these people. I hate bush too but I would not, leave USA, kill myself, attempt to kill him, or buy 1000 bill boards saying "Bush Sucks" or something like that. Though I can understand making a website attacking him, but anything beyond that is insane.

Well I guess bush now knows how hated he is. Are you sure it was suscide ONLY because of Bush's winning or was it mainly something else and that just pushed him over the edge.

happyhappy · 11-07-2004, 10:00 AM

Oh well sucks to be him, life goes on either or kind of harsh but if you have to kill yourself over politics then you have some serious issues. Guess there are Millions killed by the Puff Daddy sang "Vote or Die"

True_Snake · 11-07-2004, 10:04 AM

Yeah, this is just too much. I wouldn't kill myself to prove a point. Especially not over politics.

Some people...

he could of at least took Bush out with him if he was gonna kill himself anyhow.....

Apparently he's not too hated since over 59 million Americans voted for him. The most in presidential election history.

wwesn · 11-08-2004, 09:00 AM

what is the number of Americans who thought both candidates sucked and didn't vote for anyone? A few hundred million? So what if 59 million love him, not exactly a majority of the population now is it?

Or some people realize that it is the end of the world as they know it... I'm not saying the world is going to end (period) - just that it is, in fact, the end as we have come to know it.

The government in place wants to dictate how we should live our lives... what we can/can't consume, who we should/shouldn't share our affections/lives with, and then they take our children, friends, mothers, and fathers and send them to fight a battle that isn't theirs to fight! So, half of the americans that stood up got the joke, and the other half didn't... but many more just didn't want to be a part of it, and it sucks, but it's one of the things that made america appealing once - the freedom to choose - which is quickly fading into oblivion.

I imagine to many the situation is so bleak, that it's better to suffer no fate than a fate that is custom designed to tear you down!

So many people still don't have a voice! It's a shame that the only way some of those people can find to get others to listen up and take notice is to take their own lives or flee the country that was once home to them. It's a sad, sad shame.

jstep · 11-08-2004, 10:03 AM

um 84% showed up at the place i worked

i think that is a majority

Ahem, Bush won by something around 3.5 million votes which is the SMALLEST margin of victory ever in a presidential election. Given that even 20%-30% more of those votes are in dispute it's even smaller.

Many of those people didn't vote "for Bush" more than they voted "not for Kerry". Kerry was no prize but I so would have settled for him for at least four years to fix the damage that Bush has done.

Bush is headed to be the next Nixon, complete with our own generations' Vietnam war, just watch. He is so drunk with power right now I can almost see the "Mr. Burns" shadow behind him when he is on TV.

Wow, that's just sad...I agree with Qwert, I mean, I'm not thrilled about his reelection, but suicide over it? Geeze

That is not true.That is far from truth. Check election results from previous elections. Kennedy won by only 100,000 votes. There are many elections with less margin of victory than this years.

wwesn · 11-08-2004, 11:51 AM

okay how about we put it this way.....

Quote:

Bush won with the smallest margin of victory for a sitting president in U.S. history in terms of the percentage of the popular vote. (Bush received 3.0% more than Kerry; the closest previous margin won by a sitting President was 3.2% for Woodrow Wilson in 1916.) In terms of absolute number of popular votes, his victory margin was the smallest of any sitting President since Harry S. Truman in 1948.

Jokez Guy · 11-08-2004, 12:35 PM

that is very stupid! if u dont like the president leave the COUNTRY, canada is your neighbour just move here! Darr

mws · 11-08-2004, 12:55 PM

This poor guy took his own life because he needed help and didn't get it. It wasn't over Bush. It was mental illness. It is sad. To make a politcal statement out of his death is wrong.

Yes but he is hated by the other 55 million that voted against him isn't he.

but do we really put it past the liberals to exploit anything on the news? I mean, these are the same people who say it was wrong to kick saddam to the curb even AFTER they know he was blowing up school busses in Israel.

really, there is very little intelligence on the left.. but an abundance of bullshit.

Now death of 100,000, chaos, and the largest deficit ever are much better then having Sadam in power.

I don't disagree with going into Iraq, but I completly disagree with how he went about it. What was he planning to do after they got Sadam.

There is only 1 real enemy here, Bin Ladin, while Sadam might not have been great, there was no reason for this at all, atleast not right now.

LeeRyder · 11-08-2004, 01:45 PM

yes, 100,000 terrorists (aka by the liberals, insurgents). Simple answer to that... dont want to die? Dont pick up a weapon against us and DONT blow up lines of civilians looking for a job.

How can you blame Bush for what terrorists are doing? HOW DARE YOU! Shame on you for passing the buck Qwert, you know better than that.

As per the deficit...

Yes, Bush inhereted a faltering economy built upon the non tangible internet commerce that collapsed roughly 2 years before he left office.

Blame on the economy goes to???

BTW, the jobless numbers are LOWER than when Clinton was president. Care to explain that away with partisan bull?

Heres how: There wouldn't have been terrorists if we just left them alone. There wern't any terrorists when we went but now there are, and yes it's been the terrorists who have killed 99% of those people but had we not gone there, or atleast had a better plan, that number would be dramatically less.

As for the deficit, the Jobs are 1 part of the ecenomy and the deficit is another. I didn't mention the job loss at all there because, well honestly, Bush have very little control over jobs. But he does have some...

No clue about the "BTW, the jobless numbers are LOWER than when Clinton was president. Care to explain that away with partisan bull?" though, you sure about that one? Well anyway, like I said before, I didn't say anything about it.

Oh and before you respond, this doesn't belong here, as it has nothing to do with the thread really.

It does appear this fellow had some problems before the Election IMHO ~

Some of you guys ages are showing a little too much ATM .... - If anyone thinks that the economy and jobless rate change overnight - You need to do more homework ... I'm not taking any sides on this BUT - It takes forever for Laws / Bills to pass through Our network of Red Tape we call Democracy and usually when things start going Bad - it is due to something done when the previous President was in office - I'm not saying that People/Businesses don't use politics as an excuse to act one way or another - But , We already had an enormous climbing deficit Before George W. took office ...

Qwert ???? "There wern't any terrorists when we went but now there are ..." - YEAH RIGHT - What hole have you been hiding in ?

This country needs to start switching away from fossil fuels - so We don't have to kiss any one's BUTT in the Middle East (Not downing the Mid East - Just stating the obvious) - End of Story ! (Hydrogen/Solar has more potential than everyone thinks but we keep shoveling money into lowering fuel consumption instead) If it weren't for "The Holy Land" we probably wouldn't be the Large fans of Israel that we currently are ..... If it weren't for OIL we probably wouldn't be the Large fans of the Saudi's (Has everyone forgot that 75-80 % of the Terrorist who hit us on 9-11 were from Saudi Arabia ?)

I hate getting caught up in political arguements - makes my blood pressure shoot sky high (Usually has nothing to do with which political party is being discussed either - They ALL are just as crooked as a Dog's Hind Leg - IMHO)

I would like to point out one more time that you guys might want to read up on the Electoral College AGAIN !!! - Millions of votes you guys keep mentioning Are/Were Worth pretty much nothing !!! ~ Maybe the popular vote looks good on paper - But that's All

How do you know that the 55 million Americans who voted for Kerry hate Bush??? You can't make an assumption that they all hate him because they voted against him. They could of just thought that Kerry would of been a better President. That does not mean they hate him.

Personally I think all of the political discussions here should come to an end as this is a forum mostly for domain names. If you want to talk politics then go to a political forum. The election is over so that's water under the bridge. A select few here who can't let their hatred for Bush or others go should take it elsewhere in my opinion.
