yea, it must have been stupidity on his part........not at possible that he made a mistake in his typing.

I'm sure that if i sat here and proofread every post made by someone supporting Kerry on GC i could find a myriad of spelling errors....

But you know what? that's much like Kerry focusing on an ammo dump, when the real issue is the War on Terror. If you can't argue the ISSUE, raise issue with a minute detail.

APPARENTLY you don't know how to read, because I've repeated numerous times on here that I am not a Democrat. I know I've mentioned it several times to you specifically.

Did they teach you to spout falsehoods in Komooonikashuns Skewl?

Who was the last Republican you voted for?

Kerry lost, Bush won and you'll have no room in the next 4 years to accuse him of 'stealing' the vote'. I know it's an emotional time for you. Please do not take it out on your fellow GC'ers.

Actually, I'm not very emotional at all. I'm dealing with a lot of personal and medical issues lately that have put the election on the back burner. But, of course, you and your little friend probably think that all of my life centers around politics.

I voted for Mel Martinez as Senator, and I'm not a registered Democrat. I could offer you a copy of the absentee ballots I've submitted in the past two years, as I usually make a copy for my records.

Nope. No accusing of Bush "stealing the vote", since I believe this was an incredibly fair election. I'll just have 4 years to protest him making our country go to crap.

Question for everyone: This is just a general question since I'm interested in this...did you vote for the person you voted for because of their platform or because of certain issues? Or for some other reason?

Oh please, give me a break..........let's go back through all the threads on GC and start talking about ones that are borderline childish and/or insulting. Maybe we'll be done by Christmas. Since when is maturity a requirement to be a member of GC?!

Rudey 11-03-2004 12:22 PM

The election is over.

Everyone relax.

Someone please just delete this thread.

adpiucf 11-03-2004 12:27 PM

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but....

I agree with Rudey.

.... Or if not delete, at least move it to News & Politics.

Who you did or did not vote for doesn't make you any more or less our Greek brothers and sisters. Let's not be petty.

/Can we move on so I can get back to opposing Rudey?/

ADPiZXalum 11-03-2004 12:29 PM

I agree that this thread is a little ridiculous but I think it's funny what people get mad about sometimes. :rolleyes:

It's certainly not; you're quite right about that.

Childish and insulting titles or posts are, however, more likely to be treated as reflecting childish and insulting thoughts. If one wants to be taken seriously, one should avoid insults or childishness.

Intelligent, informed people of goodwill can differ on

(a) who would be the better president for our country at this time,
(b) whether the war in Iraq was justified or not,
(c) whether the war in Iraq is helping or hurting the war on terrorism,
(d) whether Bush or Kerry would do better with the economy, or
(e) insert whatever other issue you want to.

Who's right? We'll probably have to wait for history to tell us. In the meantime, I might disagree with those who voted differently from me, but I don't assume that they are less intelligent, less informed or less patriotic than I am just because they came to a different conclusion than I did.

Unless, of course, they do something that makes me wonder whether they've really put some thought into it or have just jumped on whatever bus suits them. "Real Greeks Vote Bush"? That gets about as much credence from me as "Real Americans Vote Kerry," "Real Christians Vote Buchanan," or "Only Idiots Vote Clinton/Nader/Bednarik/whoever."

Agreed.

And despite it all (and much to the disappointment of some who want to be proven right that evil has overtaken us), the Republic will survive.

You don't find it at least a little bit funny that you made a spelling inaccuracy in a post about accuracy?

Anyway, you read too much into it. I don't really care whether or not you're a Republican. I just enjoy mocking the poor spelling and grammar of others.

<sigh>

What i was pointing out, and pay attention munchkin, is that she was talking about "boasting" about being a "communication major".

That was inaccurate, as i was neither boasting in that thread, and said so in it, nor was i a communication major. But, on GC, we don't really disagree with what someone types as much as we disagree with them based on whether or not we like them.

I apologize. The idea of having Bush for 4 more years didn't upset you and make you attack people. Bad spelling did.

After returning from fall break in Cancun, driving a nearly new car and with a 36" color TV for his room, one of my brothers announced that he couldn't afford to pay dues. He had to save up for the Bowl game trip to Pasadena.

But before it dies I'll post my rant!
 
So we're all going to hell in a hand basket. We'll be waging a meaningless and unjust war for 4 more years at least (which is appearantly what some people on this board think is right); Abortion rights will be repealed; our deficit will become greater (which is amazing since we are already at a record high); our foreign relations will become nonexistant b/c we are the 'U.S. and we don't care about no one,and we don't need help from no one!'; our president will probably find some other random reason to wage war on some other country, and as long as he gets the propaganda right, all the southern/midwest, conservatave, good ole boys will eat it up, just like they did this time. Hell, he rode this ill-concived war straight to victory b/c of the atmosphere of FEAR he CREATED. And at some point I'm sure he'll decide that a good alternative fuel source will be baby seals, but god forbid if he funds stem cell research. bush is dumb as a box of rocks, and he continues to prove it, and anyone who thinks he's responsible for making policy is insane; he's a puppet. He's not intelligent enough to come up with some of these things. What upsets me the most, is that the people he's screwing over the most, like the middle class and the military, are the ones who voted for him overwhelmingly. People crack me up. I don't care what he says, he CANNOT represent me b/c hes not my president. My president may have been a Giant Douche, but at least he wasn't a turd sandwich.


(mmm...tasty)

ADPiZXalum 11-04-2004 02:52 AM

well at least you don't feel too strongly about it ;)

Best. Election. Quote. Ever. No matter which side you're on.

slickwilly95991 11-04-2004 12:44 PM

If you want to promote the future of the greek community you
should probably vote for Bush and any other tax lowering candidate in federal elections.

Republicans and some fiscally conservative democrats are pursuing a tax statute that would help greeks. Currently, if you gave money to your house corporation, you would not get a tax deduction. Donations for house improvements are not excludable under the IRS code.

This new proposal would allow donations for greek house improvements to be tax deductible, which would help out the greek community tremendously. It would increase alumni involvement.

This proposal made it through the house, but not in time to get it
through the Senate. The house will have to start over with the new class of representatives in January.

A Kerry regime would not approve of such a proposal because they want the taxes to pay for their social programs. And who gives to fraternities? So called "rich" people. Those who care about the greek community.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I LIKE YOU!!

I'm already sick and tired of this stupid ass bickering. The election is over. Bush won, so I think that the country should support him, just as JOHN KERRY said. You may not agree with some of his policies, but he is our president, and I think he deserves our respect.

Also, if you didn't vote, you have no right to complain about the outcome, just my personal opinion.

Oh, and I too think this thread should DIE!!!! :p
