There's no thread on it(at least not in DD) so....discuss. I think that Kerry came across as a better debater, as he did in the previous debate. Bush seemed to lose his temper a few times, and at one point he said "That almost made me want to scowl", referring to a remark Kerry made. He made some personal attacks on Kerry, and some weird faces.

I got mad at this debate. I ran into my dad's room and started screaming about stuff. The Patriot Act is evil to no end.
Bush's smile makes me mad too. And the when he said "Kerry is acting like a liberal." That annoys me so much but I dont feel like ranting right now. My stomach hurts from drinking too much fake champagne.

I didn't really watch it, but I'm all for Kerry. So...yeah. See, I don't get into politics much, but I know enough to know that Bush is no good to the country.

I was gonna make a thread on thios. But my piece of sh*tbox of a computer is onl;y fast enough to make one threead/five hoursz/. Anway, it was so funny to see George Bush argue for more time to say things! And his parakeehead shakiung after Kerry said his bit about abortion. "I...I'm trying to decipher that." No, you're not, you're trying to think of a way to respond because Kerry pwned and burned you with his intellect and debating skills. So, who won: depends on who you aks, as always. Ask me, I say Kerry won. Ask a conservative like DrSeuss, he'd say Bush. But since DrSeuss is an idiot, he'd be wrong. C: So try and intelligent conservative, like Byron. He said Bush won.

LOL. Black Ranger, lets leave the name calling to the 2 year olds. Anyways to me the debate seemed it went back and forth like "you said that bla bla bla" So I wouldn't say either of them won. The Patriot Act is evil to no end. Explain why its "evil" Is it evil 'cause it spys on people to make sure their not trying to blow us up? Or something on the lines of that.

Interesting. Maybe you do have opinions of your own, after all... Or maybe it's something to do with Fox saying that Kerry won (or so I've heard).

Yay, finally Fire Fire didn't insult me, were on the right track. Fox said Kerry won? If he did, you have to understand Kerry has had debating practice, not like warms up or remembering anything, but he has taken debating lessons before. So Bush the texan he is, isn't going to talk smooth, or not studder words. I think also, that 'cause he studders alot, people tend to think Kerry won.

No. It's evil because under the patriot act someone can be held in custody for an undeterminable amount of time without being told what they have done wrong, and without being able to contact family or lawyers. It's because theres suspicion they might be a terrorist. They don't even have to have proof. Theres also some things that take away freedom of speech and assembly when dealing with Bush and where he's speaking but the big problem I have with it is the keeping people prisoner.

You've turned over a new leaf, evidently. Keep it up. And yes, you may have a point about the stuttering thing. I wouldn't know; living in England, I tend not to see the presidential debates. The timing is all wrong, plus I'd have to have Sky or something. Edit: Lady Chocolate is correct on the Patriot Act issue. Sadly, in Britain, the same sort of thing is happening. We've had some people locked up for nearly three years with no trial, no charges, nothing. What a terrible place the West has become.

C: The Patriot Act takes away American rights so the terrorists don'rt take away American rifghts. I c an just imagine George Bush in his office, stamping his feet and pouting "I dun wan the terrorist to take away American rights! I'm the president, I get to do that!" It's either freedom or safety.

Do, you feel safety is better then more freedom? 'Cause I believe we need to be safe, rather then having freedom to look up porn without someone knowing (just an example)

Either you have a very twisted view of what freedom is, or you're the biggest fool that I've ever come across. Or both.
