On Jan 20 the idiot shrub leaves the white house and BO replaces him. If you are celebrating, how will you do so?

Tom cruise couch imitation!

...okay, not really, but I will be cheering both online and offline...

I will probably behave oddly. *nod*

'BO', haha, how did I not realise that before?

ill probably watch a bit of the inauguration and celebrations on tv.

On Jan 20 the idiot shrub leaves the white house and BO replaces him. If you are celebrating, how will you do so?

I'm not celebrating. I'll celebrate the day the US will stop playing world police, or, at the very least, strife for a viable peace in MO instead of blindly supporting Israel no matter what it does.

If BO manages one of the two, well, I'll send him a postcard with "lots of love from Milano". The address is Mr.Obama at The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Av., Washington DC, USA, I guess.

i will be getting my teeth cleaned

Probably pissed, although that's going to be happening with or without Bush.

I'll have a mild celebration, but more pro-Obama than anti-Bush.

oh send him an E-card. you can get some fun animated ones theses days.

thats like 10 days away I'm not ready for that kind of commitment

'BO', haha, how did I not realise that before?

I hear hes always sticking with the working man

I'll celebrate the day the US will stop playing world police

pfft screw paying the bill for my own defense let the yanks do it for free :p

oh send him an E-card. you can get some fun animated ones theses days.

I'd make it an Ali G one those are always a riot

I'll be feeling partially relieved and partially impatient. I'm not that into ritualized performances. I just want Bush out and Obama getting to work. I'll watch him take the oath, and that's probably it. But it's my birthday the next day, so I'm sort of taking the new president as a birthday present. :D

Im gonna be at College...

But, afterwards maybe I can get a party together or something...its only fitting...

I'd make it an Ali G one those are always a riot

I had a good chuckle at that.

Celebrating my 9 day before my b-day party :)

'BO', haha, how did I not realise that before?

This.

Let's run around shouting "BO FOREVER!":)

I will probably behave oddly. *nod*

ok, a normal day at the office for you then.


Celebrating? I don't think I will be doing that because I will be out trying to make money.

Haa. Our President's initials are B.O.

pfft screw paying the bill for my own defense let the yanks do it for free :p


Meh. Dunno about your country, but here we pay a lot to the yanks. Iirc from the times of the debate about the new US base in Vicenza, we pay about 40% of the costs of the US bases (and of the US military personell) located on our territory. Plus, there is that little question of having limited (if none at all) sovereignity on our territory that has been lent for US (not NATO: US) bases - we cannot even check if there are nuclear warheads at Sigonella, for instance.
And then again, there's this thing about having to rush to the US' help when they decide it's world police time again... like in Iraq.
Also, how can one forget having to buy horrible US-built planes like that old hunk of junk (F-16A... bought by the Berlusconi cabinet about 6 years ago :p ) , or the F-35 :p :p to replace our european-built Tornados.

No, US help doesn't come for free.

On Jan 20 the idiot shrub leaves the white house and BO replaces him. If you are celebrating, how will you do so?

That's a work day so I guess I'll be working so I can pay my mortgages, utilities, and buy food. After work I'll probably watch some movies as all the TV and cable channels will be full of the inauguration hoopla. So, a normal day for me without any sadness or happiness about what is going on in our nations capital.

I wish the President-elect the best in his new job and wish the outgoing President a long and happy life. I also wish term limits on all the Congressmen and Senators.

This.

Let's run around shouting "BO FOREVER!":)

Let us wait and see how he does before we do that. If he succeeds in turning this recession (or is it a depression?) then maybe. If he fails...well! But I pray he does not fail.

On Jan 20 the idiot shrub leaves the white house and BO replaces him. If you are celebrating, how will you do so?

wait... Shrub leaves and then the White House gets BO?

*Buys Right Guard* :tongue:


The same thing I do every night.

I'm going to work, and will be a captive audience to the inauguration being played over the PA.

Think about how much a school full of teens are going to want to listen to this speech and you will have an inkling of the special bit of hell that awaits.

Think about how much a school full of teens are going to want to listen to this speech and you will have an inkling of the special bit of hell that awaits.I feel their pain, and yours.

will you be confiscating Ipods that day? or will there be a test? :D

Ill watch the inaugeration. And then get drunk. Really, really drunk.

But Id do that without watching the inaugeration.

i suppose i would stop my nightly deification on the white house lawn. don't want Obama's dog to step in that.

will you be confiscating Ipods that day? or will there be a test? :D
No, to both.

Nothing in particular.

I will sit back and let hilarity ensue, when Americans realise that he's not a god, and that America hasn't got the money to allow Obama to do what he wants.

SNIP

still you are saving a ton on actually having to defend yourself which though you hardly have any credible threats beyond a Maltese invasion is important

would you rather leave NATO behind and start Eurofighter development shenanigans again?

And then again, there's this thing about having to rush to the US' help when they decide it's world police time again... like in Iraq.

you can note that waiting on the sidelines isn't going to cause the US to have a hissy fit so blame your own MP's :p (though the US has been known to reward loyalty in such operations in the case of Turkey and Australia)

oh darn I'm sounding like a good USian pet:$

Think about how much a school full of teens are going to want to listen to this speech and you will have an inkling of the special bit of hell that awaits.

dress as a Klansman and start waving a shotgun round!

No, to both.

Awww... you're no fun. :D

if my English teacher was still working (not retired) I can just imagine her test.

1) what time did the speech start?

2) how many times did the student next to you snore?

3) how many students went to the restroom during the program?

4) who gave the speech?

and so on...

She was soo much fun. :D

Wow your government is crazy, he's just a president. I know it is Obama, but seriously, he's just gonna be your president. We don't celebrate when we vote in a prime minister

Working and starting my last semester of Uni!!!

Wow your government is crazy, he's just a president. I know it is Obama, but seriously, he's just gonna be your president. We don't celebrate when we vote in a prime minister

It's the people celebrating more so than the government.



Well, I'm sure they'll be celebrating too. Some of them, at least.

Just the President? JUST THE PRESIDENT?? BURN!

But yeah, the President is the single most important person in our government, and Obama certainly has a lot riding on him, so I think its right to celebrate. I stayed up all Election Night and ran around campus screaming with the rest of the students here.

We don't celebrate when we vote in a prime minister

then you was asleep when Blair was elected

then you was asleep when Blair was elected

You mean put into power by your American overlords?

I'm going to work, and will be a captive audience to the inauguration being played over the PA.

Can the ones who don't want to listen the the inauguration speech go home?

I will probably behave oddly. *nod*

So you'll be normal?

Their's a cheap local movie theatre where they're supposedly playing the inauguration or somethings. Members get in free, so maybe I'll go.

Near Bloor and Bathurst, if any of you live in Toronto you'll know the area I'm talking about.

Also, I will gloat. I've been waiting for Bush to bid us farewell for a long time.

I'll probably stay up late and watch the whole thing.

Wow your government is crazy, he's just a president. I know it is Obama, but seriously, he's just gonna be your president. We don't celebrate when we vote in a prime minister

Didn't you all celebrate when thatcher left office ???

Wasting my time on here.

Wow your government is crazy, he's just a president. I know it is Obama, but seriously, he's just gonna be your president. We don't celebrate when we vote in a prime minister

Another person who doesnt understand the difference between the American President and a Westminster Prime Minister, their relative importance, and the powers they have, but talks like they do.

On Jan 20 the idiot shrub leaves the white house and BO replaces him. If you are celebrating, how will you do so?
Nah bugger that. Just another day and all.

Can the ones who don't want to listen the the inauguration speech go home?
I wish.

I'm going to work and take down my "Countdown to January 20th 2009" calender since Jan 20 2009 is the last day on it.

I'm going to work, and will be a captive audience to the inauguration being played over the PA.

Think about how much a school full of teens are going to want to listen to this speech and you will have an inkling of the special bit of hell that awaits.

You play the inauguration to students?

... Wow.

Drinking. I'm going to drink it up just like my spiritual Wall Street accountant ancestors did back in 1931. Let's just hope things stop getting worse, or else I'm going to sink in to the same kind of debauched melancholy that they did.

We're at the end of 1929 here. Not 1931.

... Wow.
*I* don't.

Working and starting my last semester of Uni!!!

I would go for a Master if I were you, stay in college until this economic crisis is over.

We're at the end of 1929 here. Not 1931.

Shit. Well, I guess I can always sell apples and read my Ayn Rand collection to remind me of the world we could have had...

Shit. Well, I guess I can always sell apples.
Unless the crop fails, aye.

Unless the crop fails, aye.

Shit, I guess I'll just go to California and write The Apples of Wrath then.

Good call.

i suppose i would stop my nightly deification on the white house lawn. don't want Obama's dog to step in that.

You've been making gods on the White House lawn? That's impressive.

I'll probably be in class during the actual speech, and I really don't think that, this early in the semester, I can justify skipping that class. However! We appear to be watching a movie in that class on that day, so, with the lights out, I can probably sneakily watch the speech if I put my headphones in. Since the class gets out at 12:15, I'm unlikely to miss much. And I can justify having my computer out anyway to take notes. If I sit near the back of the class, I think I should be fine.

That night? Well... I'm just glad I don't have class or work early on Wednesdays...

*I* don't.

I meant "you" as in "you Americans".

I'll do the same thing I've done every 4th January since I became politically aware: sigh in frustration and then get on with my life.

I meant "you" as in "you Americans".There is no way in hell that my school is going to have anything to do with Obama. So, the answer to your question is no.

On Jan 20 the idiot shrub leaves the white house and BO replaces him. If you are celebrating, how will you do so?

I will be celebrating eight years of good management, and remembering with fondness a lot of good times I've had.

I support President Bush, I voted for him in '04, and gladly wouldn't change that.

I will be sad to lose good leadership, but I am hopeful that despite my reservations, and Obama's buzz word-filled speeches, that he might somehow turn out to be a decent leader.

Dreading the return to school, I think.

Wondering whether or not just another U.S. president will stop its imperial bullshit, and its dominance over the world.

I'll be at work.

Wondering whether or not just another U.S. president will stop its imperial bullshit, and its dominance over the world.
Hah. Best of luck with that.

Hah. Best of luck with that.

Could've said the same about the British a hundred or so years ago, but then again, I wouldn't be here.:tongue:

I will probably behave oddly. *nod*

You'll be serious, never crack a joke, bathe regularly and disapprove of mud?

I will be celebrating eight years of good management

You dont live here do you?

I'll do the same thing I've done every 4th January since I became politically aware: sigh in frustration and then get on with my life.

Too true. I'll be working during the inaugural, but there's always the hightlights reel to sigh along to. And of course the choice of poet will probably add a heaping tablespoon of cringing to the mix. That's usually the worst part.

You dont live here do you?I don't think he/she lives in the US, if that's what you're getting at.

I don't think he/she lives in the US, if that's what you're getting at.

I actually know he does, I was being facetious, because anyone who calls the Bush years "good management" is delusional.

So just a normal day for you then. Unless oddly by your standards which means that you will be behaving normally.

You've been making gods on the White House lawn? That's impressive.

yep i was trying to drive the fundamentalist out via idolatry.
Though they might having been telling bush what to do in his dreams now that i think about it. Sorry America my bad.

Not much, maybe sing a little song, do a little dance, and get down that night.

And I'll keep on eye out for funny conswervative nutjob sites.

yep i was trying to drive the fundamentalist out via idolatry.

If he's a fundamentalist, you should have know he wouldn't listen to idols. He probably wouldn't even listen to Billy Idol.

If he's a fundamentalist, you should have know he wouldn't listen to idols. He probably wouldn't even listen to Billy Idol.

well bush might have really thought it was god.

I am suspect of when I recreated the old Babylonian god of war. and well right after the mission accomplished speech it wasn't in the white house anymore It had been moved to Baghdad where the Saddam statue used to be(saw it on the news)

I will be working and wondering if I should have a small celebration for my birthday that is a few days later.

still you are saving a ton on actually having to defend yourself which though you hardly have any credible threats beyond a Maltese invasion is important

...a bit garbled sort of a reply, anyway:
the US troops aren't here to defend Italy. Not since CCCP went downhill, anyway. The US troops (and missiles and aircrafts and ships) just USE Italy as advanced base for intervention in Middle East.


would you rather leave NATO behind and start Eurofighter development shenanigans again?

Eurofighter "development"? It's operative already and we, the UK, Germany and Spain are completing the deployment.

you can note that waiting on the sidelines isn't going to cause the US to have a hissy fit so blame your own MP's :p I do.
Anyway the US did have an hissy fit when France and Germany basically told the Shrub to fuck himself about Iraq.

'BO', haha, how did I not realise that before?
Yep, that's his legacy. Traffic reporters all over the country reporting about traffic that stinks on BO Boulevard.

I'll be going to college for the first time ever.

And hopefully I'll be able to see the inauguration before my English class begins.

I'm not celebrating. I'll celebrate the day the US will stop playing world police, or, at the very least, strife for a viable peace in MO instead of blindly supporting Israel no matter what it does.

If BO manages one of the two, well, I'll send him a postcard with "lots of love from Milano". The address is Mr.Obama at The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Av., Washington DC, USA, I guess.

...Peace in Missouri?

You mean put into power by your American overlords?

No.

is that I wise thing to be protesting seeing as how your currently have Italian troops in Afghanistan?

Eurofighter "development"? It's operative already and we, the UK, Germany and Spain are completing the deployment.

I was talking more of how Europe's attempt at a jet fighter went over budget with many nations just choosing to buy US instead

Anyway the US did have an hissy fit when France and Germany basically told the Shrub to fuck himself about Iraq.

I don't remember any sanctions :confused:

I'll be going to college for the first time ever.

fuck the first day its a waste of time >.>

i'll probably be glued to the tube or the radio for the inauguration, and wax nostelgic for a few days immediately after. otherwise i'll be almost certainly doing pretty much what i would be anyway (cleaning the house, keeping my wife who pays the rent from keeling over, visiting my mom in hospice, and playing on the computer like i am now). i'm really NOT a party person. not unless its with people who are into something more interesting (like trains, computers, or little furry green things from alpha centauri) then anesthetizing themselves.

...Peace in Missouri?

Uuhh... I mixed the english shorthand "ME" for Middle East with the italian shorthand "MO" for "Medio Oriente". D'oh!

is that I wise thing to be protesting seeing as how your currently have Italian troops in Afghanistan?
Yes. Italian troops wouldn't be there if the USA had not invaded Afghanistan. USA made the mess (by financing Osama, Pakistan and even the Talibans), USA should clear it.
Btw, Afghanistan isn't in ME - Iraq is. The US troops in Afghanistan get their supplies through Turkmenistan and Uzbekstan iirc.

I was talking more of how Europe's attempt at a jet fighter went over budget with many nations just choosing to buy US instead
Still Eurofighter is the state-of-the-art interceptor in the West... a bit expensive, yea, but at least the Saudis are buying them.

(Btw, the F-35 cannot be compared to the EFA. It is meant to replace the Tornado IDS and the Harrier here.)

I don't remember any sanctions :confused:
What about "freedom fries" and years of continuous French bashing from the USA?

I was talking more of how Europe's attempt at a jet fighter went over budget with many nations just choosing to buy US instead
With the F-35 being possibly the most well-managed fighter development programme in the world, and the two programmes being for the exact same purpose. Yes.

well everybody BO in the white house is less than a week away now.

Not celebrating at all. But I'm sure any American living here in Spain will be.

I don't mind the pimping practice. That way I'll have something to celebrate on Jan. 20th. :D

'BO', haha, how did I not realise that before?

BO knows...*nods*

I'm having a wildly pretentious 'dinner party'. Okay, I don't actually think I can do 'pretentious' in that sense. But yes. Dinner, and a party. We will sit around with full bellies and full glasses and toast Obama and be all inspired by his inauguration and shit. If all goes well, an orgy will follow, but these things rarely work out as hoped.

If you are celebrating, how will you do so?

I'll be battling the crowds to go into DC with some of my friends. One of the worse ideas I've had, but that won't stop me.

I'll probably teach my usual guitar lessons and then grade papers when I get back to my apartment... Then, if I have time, I'll do some more work on my thesis.

Simple enough, really.

Raise on high the Bonnie Blue flag! For the lolz.

I'll be crossing my fingers and hoping that Obama really will help to usher in "Change we can believe in".

And how relieved the world will be to see the end of George II. Here's a little song from WWII to commemorate his departure:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=CqXgB6wOSQM

By the way, this is my 1000th post on NSG, so I'm celebrating that!

I think there was a quasi-orgy at a party I went to once. Of course, I was too busy drinking and smoking...tobacco...to really pay much attention by the time it happened, but the principle of the matter was a vicarious joy.

Collecting my unemployment while waiting for word from my cousin in Iraq.

Those two things tell us all we need to know as to why Pennsylvania went for Obama. :):D:fluffle:;)

But he didn't say anything about electoral fraud and bribery.

I'll go to work, and leave the TV off. I won't listen to the radio, read a paper, go online, or attempt to talk to anyone about the "audacity blah blah" that happens. For us libertarians, this is sickening. Americans everywhere are buying into the bullshit that Obama is feeding you - and you don't care. I can't wait for him to crash and burn. I'll laugh at all the idiots who voted for him thinking a promise for "change" meant good change...because that isn't what he's promising.

Oooh! Who sounds like the bad fairy that wasn't invited to Sleeping Beauty's birthday party?

For us libertarians, this is sickening. Americans everywhere are buying into the bullshit that Obama is feeding you - and you don't care.

...or maybe we just disagree with your interpretation of it as "bullshit"... or maybe we think that, "bullshit" or not, it's much better than anything John McCain (or Bob Barr) have to offer.

But, no, we couldn't actually have thought about it, could we have? After all, everyone knows that only libertarians think.

:rolleyes:

You're right - that sounded slightly off without some justification. OK: We have a horribly out of control monetary policy, a president-elect who has promised continued trillion dollar deficits, rising unemployment (which can be a good thing, if its the market acting to clear itself), Obama's promise to create make work jobs that don't really accomplish anything, a Congress that operates with bassackward thinking, a flip-flop for president (the man ran on the idea that he was against war in Iraq, but he's posturing as a neocon towards Iran now), a housing market that ought to be allowed to fix itself, and a country who elected a congress that thinks more government intervention can fix the problem that government created.
No thanks, I don't buy into that bullshit.

Soheran, if you had actually thought about this at all, you might have considered that not all libertarians support Bob Barr - in fact, most of us understand him for what he is - a republican in libertarian clothing. Think more along the lines of Ron Paul - he's a much better example.

just today and maybe tomorow morning to respond to this thread

tomorrow i shall be at work. not much difference for me, since its not my country we're talking about...

i hope y'all have a good day and have a good think about what you've done these last few years.

I will probably behave oddly. *nod*
Oddly for you would be doing something like getting dressed in a business suit and spending 8 hours in a cubicle doing mindless (and meaningless) paperwork. Soul-destroying paperwork.
Anything other than that is the norm for you, innit?

I'm hosting a watch party for my immediate neighbors and we're going to have a tea party.

On Jan 20 the idiot shrub leaves the white house and BO replaces him. If you are celebrating, how will you do so?

Replacing one advocate of slavery and murder of the human spirit with another is hardly cause for celebration.

If anything, Obama will be even worse than Bush because he's smarter. Bush's incompetence limited the damage he could do.

You and Bush would get on like a house on fire.
You are both seriously removed from reality and both labour under the delusion that repeating the same meaningless mantra over and over makes it somehow more valid.
Newsflash: If it was wrong the 1st time you said it, chances are good (nay great) that it'll still be wrong the 100th time you say it.


As an aside: Isn't there some sort of mod law that says you can't go round posting identical comments in multi threads. It's basically spam, is it not?

Except paying a bit of tax so that services can be provided for the less fortunate is nothing even faintly resembling slavery, just immature and slightly ridiculous hyperbole on your part. And 'human spirit' is just a meaningless buzzword where you generalize your own selfishness and unwillingness to help others to the rest of humankind to make yourself look less of a bad person. Now please stop threadjacking and spamming this thread with the same nonsense word for word as you've already posted in another. Its tiresome and childish.

These revision notes won't write themselves unfortunately...

Except paying a bit of tax so that services can be provided for the less fortunate is nothing even faintly resembling slavery,
Sure it is; it's compelling me to provide for another without my consent. That is the moral essence of slavery: compulsion for another's sake.

just a meaningless buzzword where you generalize your own selfishness and unwillingness to help others to the rest of humankind to make yourself look less of a bad person.
Except being selfish makes me look better, since selfishness is the highest of virtues.

The same thing I'd have been doing if I'd been a citizen of Rome in 410 AD.

Laughing. ;)

Probably nothing.

Sure it is; it's compelling me to provide for another without my consent. That is the moral essence of slavery: compulsion for another's sake.

Except it isn't. Throughout history, slavery has been defined as the ownership of one individual over another, totally removing the liberty of the individual, for the benefit of the master. Taxation is taking a portion of your wealth, proportional to your ability to pay, to ensure that others aren't left in abject poverty, while leaving the individual free to enjoy the rest of the fruits of their labour, and leaving their liberties otherwise unaffected, and leaving the individual free to leave the society if they are unhappy about their money being used that way. Its fairly obvious the two cannot at all be said to be even vaguely morally comparable, and that to equate them is quite frankly laughable.

You're taking a term with a specific historical and economic meaning and an instinctive adverse reaction, and then applying this to every case where someone is forced to do something for the greater good. Bullshit sloganeering is bullshit.

Except being selfish makes me look better, since selfishness is the highest of virtues.

Spoiled child as highest embodiment of virtue. Utter nonsense.

Praying that he's as good as everyone says he will be. Thinking he'll be a let down.

I may celebrate four years from now.

Praying that he's as good as everyone says he will be. Thinking he'll be a let down.


Well said. I couldn't agree more.

Well I suppose I better get me and my sniper rifle down to DC quickly before I lose that bet with my mate...

The same thing I'd have been doing if I'd been a citizen of Rome in 410 AD.

Dying in a fire? :confused:

Dying in a fire? :confused:

He's saying Obama is Alaric I and going to sack Rome.

The comparison makes sense because Alaric I was a Roman citizen who was democratically elected into political office in a free and fair election. Not unlike Sauron the Dark Lord of Mordor, I might add.

...I dunno man, it's New Mitanni, it's not really supposed to make sense.

I'll be going to the local Krispy Kreme in hopes of getting a free donut. And possibly hoping to find anti-abortion religious nuts to taunt.
