FOUR FUCKING YEARS I WASTED ON THIS PLACE |
|
You're all fired.
You're no longer my home page.
I was just gonna leave but I got a look at the home page and Skinner said their was a flamewar forum so I thought i'd drop by for a last hurrah.
I'm fucking drunk and I can't take it anymore.
I'm taking a bit of time off to rethink what i need to do.
I came here originally because of a quote from former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau.
"Living next to the United States is like living next door to an elephant. You pay attention when it rolls over."
So I paid attention and did everything I could to get you guys to get somebody safe in the White House.
Also, a friend on mine gave me an external email account. When he did he said "just don't use it to overthrow the US government".
How could I fucking resist.
I've emailed my MP to try to get the Canadian immigration rules relaxed so some of you guys can come North if you want to. We'll see what happens.
Anyway, take care.
Aw hell.

2. Thanks, and hope you feel better. |
|
Your time was not wasted. The last 4 years would have been infinitely worse without DU here for hope and support. Come back when your wits are about you and never forget there are a TON of us down here who are NOT on board with DUMBYA.

4. There's 60 million of us here who feel the same |
|
I've been angry as hell today and depressed too. I don't think any of us could bring ourselves to imagine losing, and now here we are. I'm still in shock. Don't worry, though, those fascists aren't going to get a moment of peace. They will have to hold Chimpy's inauguration on the moon, for all the protesters. Don't worry.

he comes here bitching at us about what happened here, yet he is all fine and safe in his country, but we are the ones who are going to live with it.

14. Gee that is very nice of you. |

You seem to forget one thing; with Bush* at the healm of your country, there isn't one part of the world that is truly safe.
The world is living with Bush*, not just you!

19. Unless that country is on the hit list |
|
it's not even close. I don't think you can compare the effect he has on, say, Europe to what it is here. Sure, people hate him, and he destabilizes the world, but there is nothing like the glaring, radioactive malevolence beating down on you day and night, forever, like there is here.
Imagine how you would feel if you woke up this morning to find Bush was the leader of your country. Can you begin to understand?
Plus, people in other countries at least get the consolation of schadenfreude.

My partner happens to an American ctizen still living there, get it now, mate? I have lots of concern as well, because I happen to be 8,000 fucking miles from her.
Don't imply that I don't understand, because I understand more than you think I do.
Not only do my partner and I have to contend with a shit government in your country, who will stop at nothing NOW to strip her completely of what little rights she does have, but we have to contend with the fascist pig we have leading my country as well. Do you understand yet, mate?
So don't give me your gripe about people being safe etc, because you know what? Until Bush* came along Howard (Australian PM) never said much about gay rights, but once Bush* came along, Howard has been his mimic, I am now a second class citizen in my country, thanks to Bush* giving Howard ideas.
No body is safe in Bush*s PNAC world!

Firstly, my friend, I think you need this: :hug:
You are one of the very few people here on DU I hold in very high regard. Right now, I know exactly how you are feeling. Just like our American brothers and sisters, us Aussies are stuck with someone most of us hate, yet somehow managed to pull of an election and manage to gain control of the entire government.
Rememebr, my friend, it ISN'T a thing you did wrong that gave us the end result yesterday. Remember, it was the diebold machines that gave * the election. This election was a repeat performance of 2000.
Get angry, but remember, we need you more than ever, just like you need us.
Take your time, and I hope you begin to feel better soon.

I can't say or do anything to make this nightmare go away. But if you're still reading this -- and before YOU go away -- I just wanted to tell you:
Do you know you're one of my Web heroes?
I don't even know if you remember, but you and I have had longstanding links to one another's sites. And every time somebody asks me for the best links exposing the radical religious right, yours is always on my list.
It doesn't change what's happened, but I figure I'd better tell you that before you disappear.
Because, you know, it may seem like everything we do doesn't amount to a pile of crap -- until somebody actually comes out and says, "Hey, do you realize you've had some sort of impact on me?" And I'm long overdue in telling you that.
So, that's all. You just need to hear it. And you need to remember that for every person who does tell you something like that, there are tens of thousands of people who never bother.
Please take care of yourself.

16. HAHA! I think it's "aversion therapy" for humans. |

I'm glad some of you guys aren't leaving DU in frustration right now. It's time to get sassy and give the finger to the treasonous bastards that stole the election... again. Kiss my rosy ass Bush!
