I liked the picture of the buds better... 
If you upload the pictures to the site, rather than hot linking, it will be much better for all of us.

I sure hope he wins. I am not american, but as a Canadian, your country really affects how mine is run. I don't like his policy on guns ( i think he is against registration?), I suppose this is a freedom thing, but come on, guns are fucking dangerous! Regardless of that, he seems like a good man. All of you americans around here should support him, and spread the word to friends and family, like that poster above good job man! Word of mouth to people you know is a great way to help out a politician that you support. Next Canadian election I for one am going to try my best to undermind Stephen Harper...what power does one person have you ask? None really, but I assume there are a lot of other young people like me around who see how fucked up politics is, and if everyone trys to help, we may be closer to utopia! even though utopia is probably not possible....wow that wen't on a tangent. Go Ron Paul!

This isn't the thread to really focus on this, but, just so you know, cars are dangerous too. Its time to get over this idea that an inanimate object is inherently "fucking dangerous". Guns don't kill people, people do. There's more than one way to kill a person.

Ok that was a little dramatic, but you do not see guns being used for transportation. A car can be used for transport, storage, show, enjoyment, a place to bang, a hotbox area...many things. I see a gun as an innaminate object that really has one main purpose, to shoot. It's primary function is as a weapon. They can look cool on display, but thats not the point of them. A sharpened pencil can kill as well, so can a machetie, but thats what a machetie does, it is supposed to slice and cut, not to write on paper, that is why they are diffetent. Drugs are dangerous, but you put them into your own body, people dont go around shooting up other peoples veins, but bullets people shoot into other people not themselves. Obviously there are isolate cases and exceptions. I think that when you allow your citizens to carry firearms you give them a chance to kill somone very easily if they get in a bad situation and don't think their actions through. I only brought it up because it is part of his policy that I disagree with...but this is about polling, so i apoligize for that tangent. And I still want him to win.

... thus, you being the moral judge of all mankind, should get to dictate what you see guns as upon the rest of us?
When I lived in the US, I was about a mile away from a shooting range. I used to go shooting, at the range, once to twice a week. For me, it was very Zen; a great stress reliever. Focusing on my breathing, on my body, on the wind, and losing everything else, I might only fire one shot every 15 minutes or so. After a few hours, I would have fired ten rounds and have a single hole in the paper that all ten bullets went through (from 100 meters, bench rest). So yes, a gun is inanimate, just as a car is inanimate... and yes, a gun can kill, just as a car can kill... just because you do not see a place for guns does not mean that I don't.
> I think that when you allow your citizens to carry firearms you give them a chance to kill somone very easily if they get in a bad situation
I think that when you allow your citizens to carry a cell phone you give them a chance to kill someone while driving very easily if they are talking on the phone. Thus, we should outlaw cell phones, yes?
Why not prosecute the tiny minority of people that actually break the law rather than punishing everybody because they might break the law?

haha I dunno, I suppose it is your right. But still in a drunken bar fight, a dangerous situation, pulling a knife or gun and using it is different than trying to crack open a mans skull with the plastic on your cell phone. But yeah... It still is likely only going to be a problem with an idiot anyways who would cause such a problem one way or another(like maybe a beer bottle). What do you people think the primary purpose of guns are, other than to shoot? U know, at leasy you drink the beer before you smash it over your "enemy's head. Whatever though not my country, not my problem.

Unfortunately, until the US decides to stop policing the world, it is your problem.

Kind of like nuclear weapons... to give others pause that would otherwise harm you. I've seen the list of countries that have lost their right to bear arms immediately leading into fascism. The list is pretty long. On the other hand, the list of fascist counties that don't have right right to bear arms returning to a republic/democracy is pretty slim.
