Well, the election is tomorrow.....(for America, dumbass)

[Megawizard]

Obama's going to win, but because America isn't very well educated, its going to be extremely close. Whomever gets Virginia and Pennsylvania is undoubtably going to win.

And after the comment he made earlier about taxing the hell out of coal power plants due to the greenhouse gases, he sure as hell isn't going to get PA. For some odd reason people don't like it when one of their major industries is going to be shut down.

For the record, here's a few of the quotes off that speech:

"What I've said is that we would put a, uh, cap-and-trade system in place that is more -- that is as aggressive if not more aggressive than anybody else's out there. So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that, uh, greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

But that makes it funny because earlier in the campaign he was for clean coal. But then there's the fact that he KNEW the result:

"When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know, under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."

That's partially true for the moment. Electricity rates are still locked till 2010, then we're screwed. Kinda obvious when about 59% of our power plants are coal fired. I'd like to know how he intends to make up that amount in some efficient manner. I really doubt he's going to vouch for nuclear.

Fallout 3 was actually a really good game, Obama's likely to be the next president. What's next, milkshake rainbows?

Dude modern algebra and geometry are rooted to the arabs,

actually the word algebra has it's roots in arabic, however algebra itself had more of a greek influence

i do believe pi was discovered by a greek not an arabian

and very little eqyptian architecture is used today, and what medical research?

look up a man called Imhotep, you might know him as the mummy but he did a LOT for medicine and for that matter so did a greek man

as for arabian architecture, wandering around north america i see lots of minarets and domed buildings, there are so many i lost count

i do however see a lot of greek and roman influenced architecture, including the roman arch

also middle eastern terrorist cells have only been attempting to force their will on us for the last 40 years, before that it was the opposite, and still kind of is. you say you studied persian and arab culture? well did you bother to pay attention in those classes or get the info from somewhere valid?

where did i mention terrorists? glad you made those conclusions for me

and i have my info from somewhere valid, i do believe i was proving that most of our stuff today comes from much older societies

the fact is yes they did contribute a part to our culture but it's no where close to what the greeks and romans and egyptians did

Medical science in the west today owes most of its innovation to hippocrates a greek. I did not day that the arabs contributed to our architecture I said that the eqyptians did not, the romans and greeks certainly did though. Okay all I'm saying is that the arabs and middle eastern countries do little to impose will on us, terrorists from those countries do however, I did not say you mentioned terrorists. It is true that our modern society owes a lot to the ancients, romans and greeks particularly, but the egyptians gave us little. you do not need to be overly defensive.

Persian, Arab, Mongolian, Ottoman Turks...
I made two typeos. I do that. I also type it, "shaw." Kill me.
Point is, I know I have my facts right, dispite your "valiant efforts" to prove me wrong.
I can't compete in a dick-waving contest, so you can go and feel good about yourself now.

How long do you think it will take for us to get the poll results?
