I've lost count of how many "Is Bush the worst president ever" questions posted here on Y! Answers.
Invariably, someone posts "oh yes, absolutely, no question there". Great! Well, we certainly have learned something new today, made progress promoting our cause, and certainly didn't waste anyone's time. The back-and-forth was top notch. Here's how it goes:

"Bush is HITLOR (sic)"
"Bush is the Greatest EVAR (sic) and all you LIBTARDS (sic) can go to hell"
"You dum conturd" (sic)
"Only REPUGS would thin dat Bush is smrt" (sic)

Yes, it's all very enlightened discourse. I don't know which is the most appalling, the lack of proper spelling or grammar, the self-important and self-congratulating tone, the absurd attacks on the opposition, the lack of any substantive argument, or the disturbing inability to recognize the trolling pattern and learn NOT to respond to such questions.

I actually feel like I am in hell reading some of these questions. Yahoo! is where reason goes to die

I met this guy about 5months ago...initially i wasnt serious to start with...i didnt think it could be along term relationship or something would come out of it...but as time passed by he started talkin about long term things and now he talks about the future all the time...i do love him but theres a problem..
recently we were talkin about a couple where the girl was an international student and the guy was a US citizen and my boyfriend said I know why she married him, to get US citizenship..we've talked about similar other cases where a person marries another for citizenship...the problem is I am on a student visa too and he doesnt know about it....i dont wanna tell him right now cuz im scared he would think im dating him for the wrong reason but then i dont know what to do....im really scared of whats going to happen when he finds out!!!

They refuse to secure the borders, but they insist on wiretapping.
They sell arms to Saudi Arabia, when Saudi Arabia is the main financial supporter of Al-Qaida, exports Wahabism and the main supporter of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq.
They seem to have most people convinced that our government has to operate in secrecy, but we are a representative Democracy and I for one want some Goddamned explanations.
Don't you?

Most people adopt the political views of their family when they are children and many never really question them. I changed mine as an adult but because of my background I can usually understand the arguments being made by the other side but from some of the comments made here I wonder if people have really thought about the issues.

Is their age difference or sex life pertinent to their qualifications to govern...or anybody's business? Is the number of marriages and divorces a window into their character or morals? What about their religious preference? Or, should we be just talking issues?.......(Too many questions, I know, but I'm trying to hear both sides in a condensed way.)

In the 2004 Presidential election, 55.3% of voting age people voted. Which means that 44.7% of voting age people did not vote for whatever reason.

Now, if you were of voting age in 2004 or 2006 and didn't vote, does that mean you tacitly approve of the current administration. I'm not asking you to out yourself and say if you didn't vote. Not my concern but while I don't believe in the notion of "If you don't vote, you can't complain", if you were able to vote and didn't take the 10 minutes or so to fill out your ballot and vote, should we really give a rats rear end what you think of the current administration?

2 young Arab men have been arrested after pipe bombs were found in their car near a naval base in South Carolina. Of course, thanks to liberals, there are cries of racism and discrimination by civil rights groups.

Question: If I was at a bus stop and saw a young Arab man walk up with explosives strapped to his chest, should I remain standing there and then get on the bus? I mean, after all, what would make me believe he was going to actually set off the bomb and kill people? Because he's an Arab Muslim? HOW RACIST!!!!! Am I correct on this, liberals?

If they don't like us i guess that means they don't like our money. I realize there are still some reasonable people in these countries and i bet we could find ways to help them. We also pour money in countries who continually screw up through corrupt governments. Half the UN hates us why do we have to listen to them. There are countries who don't hate us they may disagree at times but don't hate us i say those are the countries we should help we owe them that.
