i know what you're saying Ant....i've read your side of the story 1,000 times but my point is why complain about something if you can't/aren't going to do something about it? it would be great to have an intelligent person in any part of the white house. since that isn't the case i don't see how people can just sit there and complain all day and not offer any solutions, or they sit there and complain and they're not in a position to do anything about it.... it all seems so futile....you're only given a finite amount of time on this planet.... why spend it worrying about Big Bad Bush? Honestly i don't know anyone on this board that has been affected negitively by any of bush's policies

these people complain because when alternatives are offered they are just ignored.  And while i can understand people not taking an interest in politics because it doesn't really affect them (at least not directly), i can't understand why you bother arguing with me if your position is essentially "i don't care."  if you don't care that's fine by me, but if your position is "political discourse if futile so its not worth trying to figure out which side is right" then you shouldn't be spending so much time trying to prove me wrong.  personally i don't believe political discourse is futile, and it doesn't bother me to talk about these things or to argue them in a reasonable manner.  some people watch tv to relax, i read the news, a book, or just surf the net.

most of the thigns we talk about in this forum we have no direct control over, so if you extend your argument across the board, this entire forum, and most conversations in general should just cease to occur because one conversation isn't going to change anything.  why bother complaining about the last eminem album? its not like your criticism matters.  why bother commenting on the jets game?  that doesn't matter either.  its like when i first started posting about bush and people told me basically "stop posting your not going to affect the election."  as if i didn't already realize i wasn't going to affect the election.  but on occasion a learn a thing or two when i post here, and its a form of relaxation.  so if you want to discuss things with me, then go ahead, but if all everything your saying boils down to "your opinion doesn't affect stuff so why even bother" then dont bother commenting on my threads.
