ORIGINAL: Gauge So, punches thrown is the criteria we now use to judge who is more bombastic? Absolutely. Clinton was full of punches tonight too. Both are on attack dog mode! Come on, in political elections, both parties are out for blood for each other's weaknesses. That's just how it works. They aren't gonna be praising each other. quote:
You live in Singapore? Why is it that you have an opinion on American politics? I want to remind you that your country's financial crisis crash in 2008 effected the whole world, including my country really badly. Thus it is important to me that US chooses a good President who is good with economics and when US prospers, the rest of the world Prospers too! Clinton is definitely NOT about reducing debt and improving the economy. quote:
Your opinion is welcome, but please stop talking in absolutes. I view everything in a very simple black and white manner. That's always been the way I see the world. quote:
I will also ask you to define "social projects". Obama care is a social project started by her, implemented by Obama, which absolutely raised the price of health insurance coverage for everybody and cause some closures of some insurance companies too I believe. So is Hillary promise to Sanders to bring on the Free College plan. As examples. quote:
but you have no investment in this, the future of where you call 'home' is not in question. Mine, however, is in question. This is the arrogance of Americans. I comment on any countries politics. Even Thailand. Even Malaysia. Even UK and Australia. This forum is filled with majority Americans, so I am talking about US politics here. When I am with Malaysians, I am talking to them about their country's politics and what's going on and totally giving my full opinion about it. Etc Etc. I enjoy politics. One doesn't have to have a stake in that country to find it entertaining and amusing and enjoyable to participate in the opinions. quote:
If Trump was smart, he would have said this... "I took advantage of the law for taxes. Don't blame my actions, blame the shitty tax law in the USA, and I want to fix that." He didn't say that. He made himself look like the problem rather than the solution. He actually said this right from the beginning of his campaign many times, except he didn't mention it in this debate. He simply said, he was "smart" by making use of the laws. Whereas Clinton tried to paint it as despicable. quote:
Yet he offered no solution, he just bragged about assfucking the system because he could. Just to prove his point that, this is the system Clinton 30 over years in it, is just like that and she did nothing to fix it. I thought it was pretty good. I think the ones who get it, will get his point. quote:
So, we should only invade a country if it benefits America? You know, fuck everyone else involved, as long as it benefits us, kill everyone and 'Merica!!!! Thank you for not living here and voting. Most Asian countries live by this motto. It's just the way we are. So this makes sense to us. I mean, we expect our politicians to put the interest of our country first and not go spend our taxpayer money on solving other country's problems. Unless there is a win win in doing that. quote:
Good on you... frankly, you live in Singapore. We here in the USA need less people like you. Well, USA is like a mess compared to Singapore. And we run a tight ship, and at least children can go out and play safely at night without worries, but US is in an utter mess in so many areas. People accuse Trump of sprouting doom and gloom, but he is saying the truth. Trump wasn't kidding about all your airports being the worst in the world for example. I mean you talking AS IF US is a dream country to live in ever. It is not. So many wealthy Americans have given up their citizenship and migrated to Singapore because they like it here better. If one got the wealth, means they have the choice of living anywhere in the world, including staying in the US, and they chose us. I'd say, that's saying alot. And whatever we are doing is right, because we are attracting wealthy immigrants who are coming here to create jobs here, start businesses here. Trump actually wants the same thing for the US. He is totally right on the immigration issue that, they gotta start letting quality in and not quantity. Alot of his ideas, our country has implemented successfully with good results. quote:
It seems to be in vogue that our political candidates talk over each other, insult one another, and engage in personal shit and do not discuss the question being asked of them. All political debates in any country is exactly the same thing. You need to discredit your opponent. It's seldom a friendly thing. quote:
I saw no bias, I saw someone that was left in charge of a debate, relinquishing their power so that chaos reigned supreme. And little, if anything about the true problems that my country faces were addressed. The moderator asked Trump on useless questions like the Obama birther thingy. And kept harping about his Iraq thing. But not one question to Hillary about her Clinton Foundation Scandal. Benghazi? There would have been equally same level sort of questions he could have asked Hillary too but he did not at all. Because he is on team hillary. I feel like some of his questions were personal towards Trump. quote:
Greta, I respect you as a community member, your commentary of my country's politics, I find lacking of validity or of substance. If I offered the same opinion of the politics of Singapore, you would likely say the very same thing about me. I find your opinion to be inadequate of validity because you do not live in the USA. I will keep my opinion of the politics of your country to myself, and you should do the same for those that claim residence in mine. I don't have to live in US to know about US politics. I just need to have alot of US friends. My best friend is from the US. And he is actually on Team Hillary big time. My own brother lives in the US for 20 years now. And you can know alot of Singaporean politics if you had alot of Singaporean friends as well. But majority of this country is right leaning, the ones overseas tend to be more left leaning. Same with how I know about Malaysian politics, Thai politics, UK Politics, Australian Politics. I have many friends from these countries, and we talk about it. Doesn't matter whether they agree with anything I say or not, every time they offer their point of view as a person coming from THAT country, I learn more and more about it. Why they view it that way, and how they look at things differently from I do. That's what fascinates me. But I am not looking for any agreement at all. Just different points of views.
