I've been on a lot of forums over the years. I know a troll when I see one.
Yes, I'm sure you do. We'll be sure to bow down to your wisdom.

As for Bush, I don't like him because he's managed to make pretty much the entire world hate the United States. Makes diplomacy difficult, eh? Also, he's done a pretty good job of trashing the economy.

Ah, Bush bashing. Original.

Sure, I don't like him either, but the constant "BUSH IS A MONKEY, I'M CLEVER!" gets a little annoying.

Dish out some real criticism, using real facts, or be objective, otherwise you risk coming across as yet another sheep in the flock of Bush haters.

I have more respect for those that like Bush for an intelligent reason than those that hate him because it's the cool thing to do.
I agree with these comments!

That post was ironic in ways you'll never understand.

I second that comment. It's really silly to continue to carry on about Bush when it will all be a moot point soon enough anyway. He will be gone shortly and hopefully our standing with other countries can begin to heal. It's time to end the Bush bashing and get to more constructive things like oh say building a better mousetrap or something.

Wow I just mentioned Bush and you talk like crazy.
Damn I lost the bet.
Whitch remindes me no one answerd to this:
...I'm betting that half of Croatias capitol city Zagreb will be in ashes couse some homocidal idiots will try to kill him, unless they'll chicken out.
So who'll bet that Bush will insult us in any way, that is if his brain is capebal of that.
So will anyone answer.
Who thinks war is good is against me.
Who likes war is hateing me.

To be fair, most people who hate Bush do have intelligent reasons for it, and are just sick of having to rattle off the whole list every time they slam him. Bush bashing might be "popular" but then again, so is hating on Hillary Clinton, and I'll bet you $100 the average Hillary hater can't even tell you what they think is so bad about her.
No offense to any americans but, Why Did you guys elected bush again?
Because politicians have a knack for steering the national conversation away from issues that actually have any real importance and thus make themselves look better than they are. A shame, yes, and if there were a way to make it illegal we would. But Americans, by and large, are... well, not stupid so much as just too lazy to actually think about stuff.

I'm a little worried that the Bush/chimp comparisons will come back to bite us. Someone might think to do the same thing with Obama (who does have sticky-outy ears, at least). If such a comparison goes public, many will accuse the comparer of racism, but he'll retort that others got away with it for Bush.

America: It's okay to make fun of whitey; but don't you dare make fun of ethnics.

Bush looks like the sort of guy who'd be great to have a beer with. I'd have a beer with Bush. We'd shoot some pool and I'd accuse him of being lucky when he pocketed the off-the-cushion-cross-table black. Then he'd laugh and remind me that I had to buy the next round, since I'd lost, luck or not.

"Oh, George," I'd chortle, and we'd drink up, pay the tab and be off on our next adventure.

Oh, I have no doubt that Bush is a pretty friendly and funny guy as a person. I have just always thought he's made a pretty poor politician and leader ever since he was governor of Texas.

Yeah. Honestly, Bush doesn't seem like a bad guy, as much as I like to rail against him, it's his policy I have issues with.

And some may of course say some of his policies are downright bad, and therefore he is a bad person, but I have quite a few friends with bad views of the world and bad ideas for policies, and I don't necessarily see them as bad people.

I think you've pretty much got it here. The guy is probably a good person at heart, just not at all suited to be the leader of a large, powerful country.*

*Not that he would be a GOOD leader of a small, peaceful village...
Anami and Anami are sitting around Anami says "GRR I AM ANGSTY LET'S EXPRESS ANGST" and so Anami says "ONE OF THE MODS ON DC IS A DICK I POSTED A PICTURE THAT WASN'T REALLY THAT INAPPROPRIATE AND THREE MODS SAW IT AND DID NOTHING THEN A FOURTH ONE SAW IT AND DELETED IT" and Anami says "OMG I HATE MODS >:("

I wouldn't put George W Bush in charge of a train set, let alone the most powerful country in the world.
