Yes. I have a sink and a filter.

Do you have oxygen? You'll asphyxiate before you starve or dehydrate.

No. I actually live off of helium. Makes transportation much easier.

[Gfire]

Keke. I missed it around here.

How funny - I live off of hydrogen gas. As you can imagine I never got around to that smoking thing.

[Mathijs]

I hate how I have no food at my apartment and no money

I. FEEL. YOU.

I vent that my flatmate thinks that rent is only as much as he wants to pay.

[Elvenlord]

Thanks Matias

The sheer amount of people that want Bush back in office. That is all.

[Vortigern]

Well, rest assured in the knowledge that he is constitutionally bound never to be President again, regardless of how angry some bunch of moronic dickbags gets.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

I thought that was just a custom.

[mike_]

You're half-correct. The custom started with George Washington and was made into a Constitutional Amendment by FDR following his own third term.

[Elvenlord]

Wasn't it the fourth term, then died shortly after?

[Lauri]

mike does not state that FDR only had 3 terms Elven

[Elvenlord]

He kinda did, if it was after his third term how could he have had a fourth?

[Vortigern]

Well, FDR had just begun his fourth term when he died, which was why Truman basically had two terms despite only being elected once.

I think it's a terrible policy. It means you have four years when everyone knows the President's opinion can only be important in the short term, and it annuls the possibility of a truly excellent leader being in power long enough to enact a really useful or profitable agenda. The real problem is the USA's obsession with elected officials. There are some things that really don't need to be voted for. Chief of Police, for example, is a job best done by an experienced policeman with the consensus of the police themselves, not the largely uncomprehending or unbothered public.

[Elvenlord]

I think a two term limit is just fine. The possibility of more Bush scares me.

[Vortigern]

I think the possibility of more Bush scares enough people that it would never happen anyway.

[Mathijs]

I think the possibility of more Bush scares enough people that it would never happen anyway.

Don't overestimate these people.

[Lauri]

Yeah, he got elected twice, that was surprising in itself

Now with many dissapointed with Obama, I'd say Bush would stand a fair chance if he'd run again
