The Drunken Lizard Pub

What do you think of your country's current administration?

Note: My intention is not to raise any confrontation of any kind, but to allow everyone to talk about what they think about their rulers.

As for myself, I think Argentina's president is somewhere between "bad" and "very bad". I'll choose one of these choices.

Sorry, I don't visit gaming sites to discuss politics. That's what news sites are for.
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

well this *is* the general chat forum so you can't blame him for going off topic! the problem is he said what do you think of the administration of *your* country, so if everyone here throws in their opinion of thier gov. then the poll is kinda pointless. if someone from china votes that they hate their gov. then how do we know that?

The poll did not, as you said, make it specific enough. I come here to escape political talk. I have 2 men folk in my house who talk it all the time. BORING! Sure it is General Talk and I could avoid reading the subject. It's just that I've been on other forums where politics started being talked about and things got too over heated and the main reason for the forum was left by the way side. I didn't want it happening here.
Just my opinion. Ta Ta on this subject for me.

Well general chat is for anything and since it's talked about

No, no harm. I've had a bad 2 weeks trying to adapt to new medicines & apparently I'm allergic to them. They gave me headaches and other symptoms that made/make me grouchy.

Thanks for your understanding.

Dragonlady: Excuse me if I made you remember those pesky guys, but it wasn't my intention. I didn't even know about your "problem". Hope you have better luck with them next time.

I actually think there is merrit to an over all poll of governments as a whole. Gives an idea of the over all quality of governments.

Dragonlady: You should attempt to take a more active interest in some of politics. Remember those that represent you in government can have a great impact on your life. Such as the current debate on health care reform here in the US. Knowing as much as possible and making your voice heard thru votes and and telling your elected representative how you feel can make a difference. I agree alot of it can be boring, but there are some issues, regardless of what side you may be on, that are important enough to speak up for/against.

No thank you. My family is active enough. I listen, I read, I make up my own mind but I don't need to try and convert or be active. I did that in my youth during the hippie generation. I don't talk about politics or religion. It gets too intense and aggressive for me. I need to be calm and not get blood pressure up. If I don't I will die of a heart attack or stroke. Shrug.

Yeah, personally I think I'm done talking politics on gaming sites. It's not healthy for me and I don't think people like me any better for being opinionated and argumentative. I've learned my lesson.

...Although I did answer the poll. I do vote, after all... .
