to be fair, Gore was just as bad as a candidate as Bush. Although I don't think Gore's father ever put the country in major debt.... and neither did Gore as VP... unlike Bush and Bush Jr... like father, like son

[Rictor]

Gore would have been another Clinton, that is to say a wolf in sheep's clothing.

And its true - Britain doesn't seem to have a decent alternative. Labour  is the polar opposite of everything they should be. Progressive my ass. Its as much a two party system as the US.

Then he wasn't as bad was he?

Yeah he was definately the lesser of two evils but even then he'd be better than Bush.

Not quite Rictor. The Lib Dems do actually hold a modicum of power. It's just that they've been too stupid to weild it.

I'll agree with you on Labour though. If the founders of the party ever met Blair they'd knife him through the heart. Unfortunately the general public were far too stupid to ever see that the country would have been better off under old Labour.

I am.... extropian.

I still believe in pure undilated Communism... But that isn't gonna happen in any country with more then 5 citizens.

Leftist, but not entirely liberal either. Does leftist automatically mean 'liberal' in any case?

[Reez]

no, only in countries that are traditionally right-winged. Liberal is considered radically right-winged in Sweden.

But in Sweden it's legal to marry your own brother or sister

(And I'm not kidding)

so that means you're just lying. cousins are okay, last I heard, but I've to say I haven't heard of such a case. ****ing animals are all legal tho.

[Knight Templar]

Sweeet.

[Rictor]

that speaks volumes bout them, the Swedes that is. They've discovered something more to the left of Liberalism, but not quite Communism.

good for them :D

and with those bestiality and incest laws, they're sure to be the greatest country like, ever.

but then they get really depressed with their perfect, shiny lives and kill themselves. karma's on the prowl, so watch your ass.

[kode]

hey, what can you do when your closest neighbour lives 15km away?

[Reez]

so that would explain why the Swedes are so caring for animals of all types.

[Rictor]

edit: wtf, I must have posted in the wrong place. my bad...

[Grey Wolf]

They do eat them, too. Is it the Swedes or the Norwegians who export all the reindeer meat?

[Corsair]

You know what really tastes good? Elk, that's what.

[Grey Wolf]

Apparently, reindeer/caribou makes a very good replacement for beef.

didn't know it was such an industry. but then again, I don't talk to that many sami people either. they're kinda scarce in this part of the country.

[Grey Wolf]

There was an article a year or two ago in the paper about how many people in Britain were giving up beef because of the entire Mad Cow epidemic, and were turning to reindeer meat.
