Chile (which the US had to do a coup to stop. As Kissinger put it "I don’t see why we have to sit back and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people."), Iran, Vietnam (kinda, half the population was split but the northern half was the more populous one), technically Japan, really would you define, Iunno Napoopan (or his nephew) declaring himself Emperor (either during 1804 or during the 100 days) as one?Originally Posted by @Leo

Our most popular PM candidate is a millionnaire, who has been charged with misappropriation, money laundering, tax fraud, corruption etc. and can't seem to shut his mouth ever. Basically Berlusconi sans the prostitutes.
But voting generally goes along the lines of:
1. Russian
2. anti-Russian
3. messiahs
4. the party that everyone's fed up with, but they're the only ones actually doing shit.
mitt romney has not yet been president of the united states
Huh, what are you basing that on? Hillary seems to be the most likely from what I've heard. She'll likely get the vast majority of the female vote and most of Obama specific remnants, not to mention that the republicans just keep outdoing themselves with alienating racial minorities or at least worse than democrats, depending on who you ask.
In the USA the vast majority of voters will vote along party lines with the winner being the one on the right side of enough big issues to throw it in their favor. Granted Romney can still run on his platform of economy but that isn't nearly as strong as it once was and is small compared to the issues of gay marriage, womens health rights, immigration, and racial issues which are the big hot buttons at the moment and ones that the republicans constantly come out badly on. I suppose Romney can fall back on the issues of the middle east and while that will gain him some support among his own party, he has never branded himself as anything but a "Business Man" and his base might find that jarring, while it will likely send most democratic leaning independents screaming away.
he meant obama
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
Hmm, the cultural differences are very interesting.
Texas Board of Education just approved textbooks that emphasize Moses as a founding father and claim that democracy has its roots in the Old Testament of the Bible. those poor Texan kids...
If Jesus could go to America, why not Moses?
Isn't Texas Board of Education notorious for this kind of crap?
Yeah, this is just the latest mistake. Not too long ago it was them making the changes to the state education standards, now the textbooks are being approved.
The state government itself can't be that bad?

One of the hostages may have been murdered.
Time to repeal Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution!
Strife...
I don't know how likely the Japanese government will negotiate, it doesn't seem they will.
I just remembered we did have a thread for this.

Now those photoshops of that pic with two hostages are even more morbid in hindsight.
Well, my government is still full of half-witted fools who keep passing bills for everyone to be spied on.

Every damn year.
Why can't they just put this dumb ass ball somewhere else, it's an embarrassment to the entire nation that that shit still is allowed to happen.

What a surprise, left wing thugs caused the violence
I find it curious why the fact that several high ranked generals of the police force here got so drunk on New Year's Eve (that fact leaked out this week) that they got into a fistfight and one of them lost four teeth is glossed over in mainstream media.
What example they give to rank and file police officers.
