Union chucked us out at 4- we never intended to stay that long but Labour and the Tories were neck and neck the whole way. Sad to say its looking like a hung parliament. 

Worse, the voting this year has been a shambles- running out of ballot papers, postal votes being lost, and worst of all so many polling stations didn't have enough staff to cope with the numbers of people, so in a lot of places (including our nearest) people were still queueing to vote at 10 o'clock and were turned away- one of my best friends was right at the front (he'd been there for at least an hour) and they shut the door in his face. In some places they actually carried on letting people in, but legally any votes cast after 10 aren't valid... so, its a mess right now.

Anyhow, Good night (morning?!) all!

I'm not British, I have no british  relatives that I know of but when I read the international news I absolutely HATE Gordon Brown and Labor.  I have been facinated with waiting for this election for the past two years because if that were my country, we would have impeached the fool long ago. Ineptitude should get you thrown out of office, but then again we did suffer 8 years of Dub-ya  after having one of the best President's of the modern times. ARRRGH! Thank god, that's over.      Becks wrote: Sure you can Spa! LOL! It'll be interesting to see who wins the UK election, a lot of people I've spoken to don't like Gordon Brown lol. Well I'm happy as cos we just bought our tickets to see Metallica in october, they're coming to NZ for (at the moment) one show. I know I know, a lot of people here don't like them, but I am a fan (granted of their older stuff, St Anger is AWFUL, so is Reload, the list goes on) but I have wanted to see them live for ages and now I am so yay! lol.      spapad wrote: Hey Becks, can I come over to your house?

I saw the idiotic thread created by one of our long-time trouble makers (Max) and, since I REFUSE to post in it (as I wish you ALL had refused) I figured I would say my piece here. I have no doubt Max and his brethren will see this right here. I find it laughable that Max would create this thread under the guise of "supporting" Mr. Evans. That is such a crock that it is literally comical. Max supports trouble and discord, period. He has found a vehicle in which to propagate his stupidity and has grabbed it with both hands. Much like his alter-ego FMH, Max is only looking for a cheap laugh. His insincerity is digusting, although not surprising.  History learns us that many independent thinkers were mocked at first, but turned out to be pioneers later.. Are you freakin KIDDING me?!?!? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! Now you're a student of history??? Riiiiiiight! History HAS taught us much about the likes of Evans, that is quite true. I believe Adolf Hitler's thinking was that the "Master Race" simply needed a "Final Solution", no? VERY independent thinking there, huh? Oh yes!! Stuck to his guns, didn't he? Emperor Hirohito was quite the "Free Thinker", too!! REAL history LEARNS (sic) us that he stuck to his guns, too. Murdered those opposed to his "ideas" during the military revolt of '36. Interestingly enough, he was NOT in favor of an alliance with Germany but did so anyway. GREAT free thinking there!  He ended up allied with them and, if I remember correctly, he "stuck to his guns" until a couple huge BOMBS annihilated part of his country and thousands of his people!!! Hmm...a real MAVERICK, that guy! Ted Bundy had an IQ of over 124. My understanding is that is "superior" intelligence, no?  In fact, he was quoted as saying;   I'm not an animal, and I'm not crazy and I'm not a split personality. That's all there is to it. People refuse to believe that. That's their problem. There's nothing in my background, I swear to God, and I know it: I've analyzed my own background and I know there's no doubt in my mind that there's nothing in my background, no one factor or collection of factors that would explain or would otherwise lead one to believe that I was capable of murderHmm..."Its not ME".."You people don't GET me"...."Its YOUR problem".... Sound familiar, Max??? How about YOU, Mr. Evans???  Before our dear Maxie goes about using "history" as an example of why we should praise another TROLL in our world, perhaps he should take some time to REALLY understand it. Get your friggin CRAYON box out and stick with what you know! Leave intelligent thought to those that actually went to school after third grade.

Ha Ha, sorry nothing cooking but something is always cooking over here on my end........ As for me lately, just been doing some refurbishing of my brother Mike's home while I've been out of work...... Making a few bucks as I go, it sure helps out....... Some really good news regarding me since I've been layed off, it took a while but I'm receiving my most important "Meds" which are of course my rejection meds, "For Free" thru programs that are out there. You just have to do the research. It took a while but I'm receiving a years worth, until I find a job. Which is a blessing, when you have "No Medical Coverage"......... Oh and I'm going to FL. for Memorial Day Weekend to see my sis Kathy & my bro Paulie!!!!!

Come on Freeze, I'm taking that as a putdown and it bothers me. Not in an angry way but 
a depressing way. I never claimed this to be a Facist State  nor did I ever intend to imply that.
I even stated that you guys have more experience and knowledge of these situations than I.
I am not trying to break any unity either. I just want to take more time to study the situation
(because) of my inexperience. Depression is becoming a focal point in my life at the moment
and this site helps to alleviate that, even if only temporarily. Please don't depress me here also.
It's my only outlet right now. The depression comment is real.  For the first time since I've been
here I am truly hurt by comments.

Fair enough. I'm not trying to force him or my views on anyone. I see how forgiving you guys are
and his last few posts makes it (appear) that he is trying to turn it around. I am not naive, I just saw
the pummeling he took in the beginning and because I know nothing about this person I was merely
suggesting that he be given the opportunity to do so. I know you guys have animosity because of 
things he's said and it's completely understood. Guido, I like you. You have helped me here. You have
provided me with help, you have given me insight, and you have a tremendous amount of knowledge
and have shared it with me. I am not trying to anger you. J.D., I actually tried to start an argument with 
you. It didn't even faze you and that made me re-examine the way I was responding to people here. It 
has made me a little thicker skinned(to match my head) to negative comments so I must say you
have helped me also. The riff between you guys is between you guys. I will stay out of it. I only 
want to get along here and sometimes I try to push that on others. It's not my place to do so. I apologize.
I'll communicate with him if he so chooses. You guys are free to do what you want. Take care.
