Most Unlikely to be President (quote, nominations, 2008)

Miltamec Soundsquinaez · 05-03-2008, 07:55 PM

We are supposed to be the most advanced society in the world today (U.S.A.) Then, why is it that many of us have such narrow views of personality traits which don't make you any less of a person?

Pretend for a moment that it is 2006, and we're unaware of who's running for president. (Or pretend it's 2008, and just don't say, 'well so and so's less likely to win, because they didn't get one of the major party nominations')
Who would be most unlikely to be voted President of the U.S.A.?

If someone's unlikely to be president...then their presidency probably isn't going to be discussed. But um Nader I guess.

I didn't know we were supposed to be the most advanced..

I'm not sure of the question. So we don't know who any of the candidates are, but we need to pick who is the most unlikely?

I dunno, some homeless guy? A dude in prison? me? ashlee simpson? It could be anybody if they're aren't any candidates yet couldn't it?

This is a dumber thread than your fat people one.

Can you guys see the poll?
I voted a homosexual, although it's clear that none of the options other than non-wasp or woman, would have a fighting chance.

i still don't know WTF you're talking about

You really have an negatively exaggerrated view of America, don't you?

sleepy jack · 05-03-2008, 08:06 PM

Oh there's a poll, this makes way way way more sense now. I'm going with homosexual because people still don't believe they should have many rights in many states. In order of likeliness though I'm going with...

Non-wasp>Woman>Atheist>Homosexual

I'm not really sure where to play pacifist to be honest. I'm actually not very sure of this order because it seems like people say one thing but think a totally different think. For instance my friend's parents we're totally cool with homosexuals...until my friend came out. Stuff like that makes me unsure of this. This was surprisingly much more difficult thinking about it then it appears on the surface.

Person of faith that's Non Christian: I think this ones too vague because it could be applied to like anything from Buddhism which I'd place as far more likely than say Satanism.

I find it's vice versa in most cases, but as for your point about religion, my thought is you wouldn't have a standing chance if you were Mormon, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Bahai, really any religion other than some form of Christianity.
