I can see it now...

Well... unfortionatly, even with Moot's best efforts, I can already see a thread full of "omg bush suxorz..." ect.

Well, for once, I'm going to head it all off. Since this place is SO new, I'm going to do something unheard of... I'm making this a Pro Bush thread.

Yes, you heard me right. I voted for Bush. I am 19 years old, and I am very aware of the issues. I plan to vote all my life. Bush's tax cuts helped my family and partially allowed me to go to college. I wish he would drop the whole "amnisty for illegals", but, I doubt he will. I think he handled Sept 11th with a quiet grace. While I know he is prone to make mestakes when speaking, I'd like to see someone who hasn't. The fact that he is so soft spoke, yet so smart, greatly impresses me. He served his country, in a different way that Kerry. However, he did more than Clinton did, so he gets points with me.

So... I could continue listing things that make me like thus guy, but frankly, I'd like to find some people who agree with me. Yes yes, I know people exist who's life goal has been to humiliate the man, but lets hear from the people who actually like him. Obviously, more than half the country does...

Anyway, I don't know if I should be bold enough to keep this a pro bush thread, or give in to the fact that probably, this thread will turn into a mix of good and bad. But just, try to keep it civil.

And... no talk of killing him. As much as you hate the guy, there is no reason to want to kill him. Don't use that type of anger here.

"In the US, this concept means a melting pot of cultures, which are meant to eventually all become the same culture. In Canada, it means a patchwork society where all cultures are celebrated and accepted equally."

This really depends who you ask. In the past it was quite clear. Part of the American ideal was that everyone could be American and this was something different from whatever one started out as (i.e. Irish, Mexican, Italian, etc.). These days though there is much more tolerance for and celebration of differences, at least in urban areas. I would be wary of applying that generalization to the US as a whole, just as I doubt that the idea of a "patchwork society" is anywhere near universal in Canada. Still more, don't assume it's always a good thing. A large percentage of Quebec thinks its so different from the rest of Canada that it doesn't even want to be a part of the same country.
