    Gentlemen,

    Apologies. I could not dissect the video from the article, so you'll have to read a bit. :D :D It's worth waiting for though! :D :D :D :D

    Did you know that dumb people are unable to recognise the difference between a dumb person who pretends to be intelligent, and a person who is actually intelligent?
    A dumb person will believe that an intelligent person is someone who knows all the answers. If a person is running for president, he/she is taught to answer each question IMMEDIATELY. If there is more than a second of 'silent thinking time' after a question, then the dumb people will accuse the candidate of stalling or struggling, and therefore must be dumb....or hiding something. Dumb people don't pay much attention to the actual detail of what is being said. Instead, they focus more on the 'style' of the speaker.

    This phenomena is well documented. Unfortunately, the people who would be best at running a country, are also the people who are most likely to screw up in front of the cameras.
    Most people are dumbish, to downright dumb...and many are borderline retarded. This means that you can't really attack the president for being dumb. You have to blame the people who voted for him.

    Democracy is not a perfect system.
    This is why most countries, including the USA, do not function as a true democracy.

    I am probably in the 'dumbish' category, because I hardly ever listen to politicians....and I am affected by their style or charisma. If Arnold ran for president, I would vote for him. Terminator 2 is the best movie ever made.

    Seeing her poll numbers falling (allegedly because Obama is more effective at showing "feminine" qualities (caring about people, openness, etc.), Hillary Clinton has apparently decided to try to go macho, launching all out attacks mocking him and his "vision". One problem is that she has never taken lessons to learn to project her voice without sounding like a shrill fishmonger. One commentator said being forced to listen to her attacking Obama could trigger complaints of torture to Amnesty International. :D :D

    Shallow, I know.

    Walrus.....I can't find one of those little smiley faces that does the finger :D

    Hey, just wondering why you call yourself safewalrus. Do you have a huge droopy moustache or something? That would be cool.

    He could have used "BatVampire" but his "K9's" are more the size of those on a Walrus, and the "safe" bit gives a non-threatening note to a vicious old *******.

    LOL Masalai :D :D Vicious old *******....naaah....he's British, bastardness is to be expected.
    Besides, I think he was trying to bait me because of my false modesty. I'm an arrogant ******* sometimes. It's fair to say I have not met a dumb person in this forum. I still think the world is full of dumb people though.
