as an American i can honestly say, i could not fucking care less, think how much Yahtzee hate Cain an Lynch 2, and turn that hate into indifference, and you'll almost be where i am, sides, >.> don't royals marry they're cousins or something? we got that here, in the southCannibalRobots said:Appearently, Americans are supposed to care about this stupid bullshit.

Precisely why I only watch the highlights. Each president makes an outline of his public ideals in the form of promises... then I track policy to see how much was actually accomplished.Diamondback One said:Actually the President is a figurehead as well. The main power is Congress, which has power to deny simple things. Such as Congress denying America to join the League of Nations after The Great War, which would have been the early 20th centuries version of the United Nations. It may also have helped solve a lot of problems. But it doesn't matter, the President does have some power at least, but not a lot.loc978 said:(from the US) Even if I had TV service, I wouldn't watch it. Hell, even with presidential inaugurations, I only watch the highlights of the new president's speech. I care about governance, not figureheads.
See, now that is smart, and at least someone here in America watches and judges instead of blindly following a president or believing a politician that they can change all the world's problems once elected. If more were like you, this country would at least have to use more logic in their campaign ads and Fox News would actually, y'know, have to research stuff.loc978 said:Precisely why I only watch the highlights.
