Re: Obama selects Joe Biden
The only thing I have against Biden was that he said, during congressional hearings on the subject, that stun grenades used during the siege of the Branch Davidian compound weren't strong enough to blow your hand off if activated and not disposed of. LOL Not really surprising that a democrat isn't too familiar with items of self defense, but he doesn't shy away from acting like an expert on the topic.
Based on this and other instances, this guy reminds me of me 5 years ago, and that is sad because I am only 19 years old. Back then, I used to believe that much of things that I today realize are opinions, potential models, or hypothesis about the world were facts that did not have to be reasoned through and proven with observable evidence. In other words, I may not dislike too many of his policies, but I am disappointed about how self-righteous and crabby he seems to be. I haven't seen anything to make me believe he is "thinking" as much as he is merely re-arranging his prejudices. In America, though, this isn't too uncommon; we have 2 of the one billion view points represented 99.9% of the time as the "obvious" choices.
Something to concern everyone: Mr. Biden was visably annoyed during the debates with members of his OWN party; how able is he to work together and understand the points of view of people he most likely thinks are total fucking morons, in the Republican party? (added the bold just to remind you that I don't think any Democrat or Republican is a "moron" just because they are a Democrat or Republican)
Wish he could read/acknowledge the supreme wisdom of the constitution, too; he is very anti-second amendment. It is often too easy to side with the constitution, thankfully, but if you'd like to throw up a thread and duke it out I am game.
