It's a "coming soon" web domain, so what?

Wow.  In the space of an hour and a half the website changed.

It was a photo gallery of Americans with signs apologizing for letting Bush get reelected. Now it's gone. Weird.

Heh, maybe they pulled the site - I doubt the newly elected government wants that kind of publicity.

That said.. did these Americans with signs actually vote for Bush? If so - why are they apologising now that he's back in, and if not - why are they apologising? They did what they could...

Very odd ;)

Collective guilt. They're apologising for the fact that their country let Bush have another term in an attempt to prove that not all Americans are morons (Which to be frank is an opinion now held by a lot of people).

Eh, big friggin' deal.  Doesn't matter who we've elected, the reputation will remain the same.

True. Hard to change the reputation when America does have so many highly vocal morons.

The problem is a country sails on the wind of it's own collective gasbags. Britain is just as bad, but it's a small enough country that even the quiet ones can learn to shout, so theres more balance :)

Site timed out, must be gettin drowned in hits.

In the UK another key problem is that we've still got a population that has the class system in their bones.

Shows just how smart all those Bushies really are - they can't even put up a simple website.

no i don't like the immature mentality of 20% of the united states

(that's right - the total number of people who voted for bush is only 20% of the US population -- only about 40% voted! -- the total difference between the two was only about 1.2% of the total US population!

stupid apathetic voters)

Goes to show we must not have a problem having Bush in office. Apparently the other 60% doesnt care if he is in or not.

Well, exactly how are children and teenagers going to vote?  It's illlegal.  That ~45% of the population there, so 40% +45% = 85% which means that only 15% of potential voters didn't vote.

Post by: Rictor on November 13, 2004, 05:08:23 pm
about 110 million (55 for bush, about 52 for Kerry) people voted, from a nation of 300+ million.
I've say thats pretty bad.

45% under the voting age? In order for that to make any kind of sense, average life expecteancy in America would have to be...40 or so.

I mean, I know you have a guncrime problem and all, but still...

My family and I couldn't vote because of registration and residency issues. So that knocks out 4 of us... :p

Notice how the Not Sorry website has either a gun or a trucker hat in every other pic. It also gives me in inexplicable urge to listen to banjos.

edit: and their women are nowhere near as hot.
