Be like Hawk and bitch and moan until you are blue in the face. Ain't going to amount to **** at the end of the day. Just pissing in the wind. Need a towel Hawk?

Or take your tiny slice at making a minor difference in your world and the world of those you care about.

Like I said, make a choice or SHUT THE **** UP. You are wasting oxygen.
Take your own advice. Stfu because you don't know ****.

Dude, you have a really stupid, punk rock retard idea of democracy. THE CORPORATIONS AND POLITICIANS ARE SMARTER THAN WE ARE. They're not even that smart, but Jesus Christ are we stupid. We're just destined to be subjugated until we can get those brain implants to increase our brains' computing power. But lord knows what the corporations will do to **** with that.

Your idea of anarchism is Chula and you will absolutely be a SoCal democrat in ten years because you have as much integrity as any 20-year-old who likes punk rock.

Who do you think are going to be your masters when you are making all these concessions to capitalists?

Both parties will dig up and burn every ounce of fossil fuel in the earth. No difference.
^ I don't agree with these answers. Firstly, no-one is suggesting that the Dems can save the world, secondly, the Dems have more environmentally-friendly policies. Isn't that why the GOP are always grumbling about Obama-style restraints on industry?

No, they keep their racism more disguised.
^ This is an example of failing to value the distinction between bad and very bad. The fact is that disguised racism is much better than blatant racism, as many victims would attest, I'm sure.
