going from having a great woman as leader to a complete misanthrope in the space of hours. she didn't even do anything wrong.

this is what i mean about democracy sucking. who wants to feel like these guys right now? that's not freedom. that's losing an election and feeling it.

I got more of a:
"And they believed this time could be different. Disabled and not disabled. The United…the hope of a better day, Gracious call. I congratulate, I congratulate them, campaigned from his heart. The love of my life. And you have earned the new puppy.
I miss them tonight, I am grateful to them, the unsung hero of our campaign. It belongs to you, it belongs to you. It drew strength from the not so young people. This is your victory. the perils, The greatest of our life time. And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves,
alliances to repair, I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. Cannot end. This victory alone is not the change we seek, it’s oniy the chance to make that change, so let us summon a new spirit. And look after not only ourselves but each other. Lets resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. A measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress, we are not enemies but friends, though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection,
I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices, I need your help, in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular but our destiny is shared. To those who would tear the worlds down, we will defeat you. Unyielding hope. That’s the true genius, that America can change. The times we were told that we can’t, yes we can.
Conquer fear itself with a new deal, connected by our own science and imagination, yes we can, so much more to do. What progress will we have made? This our moment. And promote the cause of peace. And we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us that we can’t we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up a spirit of a people.
Yes we can.
God bless the spirit of a people."message from the whole thing.

@Russell
So ...Well friggin' make some sort of argument instead of being all passive-aggressive and snotty about everyone else here.
It didn't start there, it started a little earlier, on page 40; I suggested there seemed to be more celebration in NZ over the election of a black president than there ever was over the election of a female PM in NZ, leafing through to, there are US drones in NZ who'd do better focusing hard on the solutions being offered by the major parties this election, point made by the guys chanting at Key "the world is voting left" in Chch today. a point which Craig later backed up.
Danielle jumped on me for calling them brainwashed
Giovani called it wank, said i was ridiculing the people who got the vote.
Joe called me a racist despite 'congratulations to the Obama campaign'
then Stephen (I'm not talking to you again) Judd jumped in three months after saying just that. telling me I'm looking for a fight.
They don't constitute everyone here, they could if you wanted them to. Certainly take sides if your loyalties require Russell.
i mean whatever suits you.
even after you post, I'm still getting digs like"might be something like 'because you're a total bitch on wheels'. Hee!"
but of my point;
"the world is voting left"
"the world is voting left"
"the world is voting left"sounding like US drones.
stands
taller
than all the vented aggression i've dealt with today.
from the 4=everyone.Sarkozy and Merkel would surely agree.
thank you to Craig, Ben Wilson, Steve Parks, Eleanor, Che, Bob Hosking et al who were patient enough to endure me today.
-
but Giovanni.....I will never recover from 'wank'; D
-
nah, you're right to be over the moon. it was a monumental day.
agreed
Sorry if i caused any offense Danielle, I'm sure shrew wasn't the worst thing you've ever been called, and again i should clarify it's a bit of a delayed reaction to the 'baby making machines'. enjoy your evening.

I didn't know ben, I'm sorry. I try to put the full stops where they should go. sometimes i'm not sure about the commas, i rarely have time for capitals. is it really hard to read without the capitals?
sometimes instead of a full stop i just leave a space
but as a first language speaker, i've seen worse on the internet, and never had a problem reading anything except that textspeak, sure sometimes commas could help a bit, but i find a comma in the wrong place can be more misleading than no comma.but ok. i'll try to make more effort with my punctuation in future.
Joe Wylie I'm not claiming any kind of political expertize,that's no master deduction there..I don't feel I'm the only one that posts here that doesn't possess more than a novice's understanding of politics.
However regarding the bulk of your correspondence with me today, to clarify. I have no racial prejudice, and hope you will refrain from implying so. At least for accuracy's sake,
-
no really Joe, cursèd earth? says it all
-
if you didn't find what i wrote coherent Giovanni, if you couldn't understand it giovanni, then what was it that prompted you to tell me it was wank?
surely if you don't get it you jsut leave well alone
i'll give you another shot though, because admittedly it may a bit of a stretch:
"i do feel concern that there seems to be more celebration in NZ over the US voting in a black president than there ever was in NZ electing a female prime minister.
not forgetting that for days there has been an ad to the right of these boards reminding us that all politicians are liars
furthermore considering the closest 'darky' to reaching the top position in NZ has just been more or less politically castrated for doing little more than accept donations
in light of the fact that obama's victory was inextricably inked by a victory of donations and capital raised.
knowing full well that when a maori finally attains the coveted NZ captaincy there won't be half the hyperbole. (which does highlight something positive about our nature)
and no disrespect to to Obama; he has great teeth and and has said the right words. I'm just left with kind of in awe of how successful the wires and wirelesses have been in turning the droves into US drones.like a giant Truman show.
just days out from a NZ election where neither of the major parties has suggested anything more than fresh ways to tread water.
congratulations to the Obama campaign,
4 more years of totalitarianism there
and NZ is about to start its next 3 year tour of duty
with scant choice between two 20th century monoliths
most distinguished by the frequency of the light bouncing off the representatives respective neckties and flare;made all the more worrying by R.B's lack of a post today just hours out, to remind us that yes, yesterday was history but Saturday could also be, albeit not on the grand scale of the greatest sporting extravaganza on earth, just witnessed. but
most relevant."
I'd argue nothing a 6th form english student couldn't get the basic gist of.
