???? Is No one going to mention the nose dive clinton took at ground zero?

At least you are honest about it. Unfortunately, it means that you cannot "bitch", about them later.

Why not?

Because I was informed earlier on that "if I don't vote", I shouldn't be allowed to "bitch", afterwards. If I was an American, I would just leave my vote blank, or better than that, just go out with some like-minded friends and watch the soccer. Leave the voters to vote for their favourite con person.

Surrender doesn't sit well with me. Your mileage seems to vary.

I'm going to vote, just not for Clinton or Trump.

No, to make things even funnier, he lives in France and has never set foot in America.

That he then has the temerity to make sweeping statements about Americans is all the funnier for it.

Noice.....so he's basically ranting and raving for nothing because in reality, the ONLY thing he knows about the US is what he's been fed to believe on tv and the internet.

Pretty much. Happy to speak out of ignorance.

Chronic stress is known to impair immune system function.  Beyond that, I can't figure out what you're trying to say.  People do call in sick because of pneumonia.

Then English isn't your language then, is it? Do you want it in French?

I'd be interested in hearing your reasons for strongly rejecting Clinton, assuming it isn't simply a strong yearning for moving beyond a two party system.  What I mean is, what is it about Hillary that you don't like other than her being grade A establishment?

[Pat Mustard]

Wait. You don't vote? Do you live in the US?

No, to make things even funnier, he lives in France and has never set foot in America.

As an Irish man I'll make a sweeping statement about Americans you can't give out about. You're all Americans!

Okay ... I'll own up to this.

Why should he give his reasons for rejecting Clinton? At the end of the day, he has obviously had a choice between the two and decided none of the candidates are worth it so, why not vote someone else.

That I'm not going to vote for Clinton doesn't mean I strongly reject her. I mildly reject her. If I lived in a swing state I would strongly consider voting for her, out of fear of the consequences of her opponent becoming president.

She's not as bad as she's often made out to be, and has some good points. Sadly, reluctance to throw our military weight around to accomplish foreign policy objectives doesn't seem to be one of them.
