Nothing happened. You're a proud Murrican.
Yes sir! I am very proud, thank you!!!

What's to keep them from just shutting down the government, or crowding legislation with bills to shut down whatever Bernie tries to do? What's to keep them from repeating what they've done while Obama has been here?
If Bernie gets the office, I think it's fair to say there will be enough people voting to fix the Senate and the House as well.
Hopefully he'll start a new wave of people really wanting to vote, to drown out the republican base.

He would be more electable if people voted on who they liked more, instead of who they think is "more electable".
How much I "like" someone has no relevance as to whether I believe that person can lead effectively.

So basically it's going to be Trump and Hillary. Great. I guess I'm not voting next year.

Sorry, C/L but I had to laugh. After the "Murrica is the Greatest" thread seeing that was the icing on the cake.

Quote:South Korea is about to make the world even more jealous with 10Gbps broadband
Quote:According to Akamai’s Q2 2014 report, South Korea has an average Internet connection speed of 24.6Mbps, placing it well ahead of No. 2 Hong Kong with 15.7 Mbps. The U.S. ranked No. 14 with an average Internet connection speed of 11.4Mbps.
SK Broadband’s 10Gbps broadband connection would be nearly 407 times faster than the country’s average 24.6Mbps Internet speed.
Of course in another sense we do lead the world.

Quote:Why is broadband more expensive in the US?
Quote:Home broadband in the US costs far more than elsewhere. At high speeds, it costs nearly three times as much as in the UK and France, and more than five times as much as in South Korea. Why?
So, shitty service at high prices. When it comes to ripping off consumers, 'Murrica really is THE GREATEST.
Be proud, 'Murrica!
