If I were American, I would probably be Democrat. Otherwise, I tend to dislike the mainstream political parties (Liberal, Conservative), especially since somewhat the last Canadian elections, I hated both of them, and the Bloc Québécois (the separatist party) was going nowhere. So New Democrat or Green. I think most Québécois agreed with me, since the Bloc Québécois lost nearly all their seats (which was almost all of the seats in Québec) to the New Democrats. My county is still conservative though. Also I would had voted for the Pirate Party if they were in my county. I would had represented them if I wasn't still in college. Also I think I would say the same thing with my provincial government.

tl;dr Canadians politics sure are crazy.

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

Very interesting. I myself identify myself as republican and even am a leader in my school's young republican club. Why I find this so interesting was because I can't recall there ever being a political thread before here but if anyone takes a look at cemetech's politics sub-forum you will see that the overwhelming majority of members and admins are liberal. But over here we have many more conservatives which is surprising based off how I pictured the average user here. btw I'm really looking forward to 2012 because my 18th birthday is 4 days before the general election so I'll get the chance to vote ;D

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

Actually BlakPilar, I might be wrong on that. I know my state (New York) at least makes you register 1 month before an election to be able to vote. It might be different in your state.

AFAIK I never knew of that rule and I doubt it exists.

Juju I know it exists in New York, other states it might not. My friend is mad because he can't vote in February for the republican candidate.

That is partially true because the application process does take about a month in most states but I know here in California and probably many others, you can register to vote before your 18th birthday as long as by the time the next election day comes you will have already turned 18. Checking the schedule there is a city wide election in my district in early October so I will be able to register after that and that will leave me with plenty of time before the general election.

1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)

Oh right I haven't updated my sig in a couple of months now. I've actually made quite a bit of progress on that now. With all the emulators I've been writing recently my skill at making them has been getting better and they are easier to write now. I"m also going to do a total rewrite of my Prizm emulator project because the last one was a fail and I know exactly what I have to do this time.

Republicans are, for the most part:
Greedy
Self-Righteous

Republicans are the ones who cut MILLIONS in Pennsylvania's school funding.
Republicans are pushing to cut Public TV and radio.
Republicans mix church and state.
Republicans want to give those with millions of dollars more tax relief than those who struggle to make ends meet every day.
For money.
That's greedy.

P.S. Not that Democrats are much better :P

I'm not worried about SOPA creating censorship, that will not stand for long. I'm worried that they'll succeed in stopping piracy!

I identify myself as a Republican, but really, I'm a fiscal conservative and a social liberal (idk what that is).

I'd imagine that the economic issues you lean more towards being a conservative. And with social issues, you are closer to being liberal.
