Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Well lamna, your posts are pretty well thought out, as opposed to the other people who come here just to laugh and say "Oh America, what a dumbass you are."
Well, I try to remember that an American is just an unpolished Englishman.

Frankly this whole mess could be sorted out if we cloned Roosevelt, Disraeli and Gladstone. Maybe a backup Churchill. Give him a lot of strong drink and a skunk to play with and he'll keep well behind glass labelled "Break glass in-case of Nazis" for a few years.

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth.

So I guess I'm in the minority then. :(

I've never liked Obama, though it's definitely not because he's black. I could care less about that.

However, it seems to me that Obama is more focused on squeezing as much fun as he can out of the White House. He took a trip to India for ten days recently, spending taxpayer money to send his family and 3,000 other people over there. That's just plain ridiculous.

I could understand if he was going to set up some kind of diplomacy between America and India, but it's more of a vacation.



Also, maybe on this view I'm more like a Tea Partier, but I do not like the Obamacare system. To me, it seems like a precursor to socialism. If the government pays for all the healthcare and forces everyone to get health insurance, I feel that the government is getting too much power.


That said, I do like some of Obama's policies, particulary the ones dealing with stem cell research.

I'm curious, when you say "taxpayer money" do you mean his paycheck or he actually skimmed off the top? Or did he claim it was on business?
Oh Fine.

If it was his own paycheck, well then he can do what he wants with it. But besides Mr Shiny Face wants to welcome India to power status and it would be good for America to get on good terms with India after that whole nasty business of supporting Pakistan during the cold war.

As for having proper healthcare being the foundations for Socialist...erm not really. The German Empire was the first nation to introduce with Otto von Bismarck's Health Insurance Act of 1883. It would be 36 years before a nice spring in southern Germany was rudely interrupted by the Bavarian Soviet Republic, but that was put down pretty quickly. It would be 66 years before a communist Germany was established, the German Democratic Republic which ceased to be a little over 20 years ago.

yeah, you see healthcare isn't a precursor to socialism, if it was than most of the western world would have been socialist long ago. not that socialisms a bad thing, Communism has got many good factors, the problem is that it destroys the drive for competition (China is an exception) and it is Totalitarion, instantly making it very,very shitty.

@Kingpin, Please specify exactly how you want this 'dent' to appear, share us your ideas?

TL;DR

The obvious answer to all of this is that, no matter how much people bitch and moan about Obama, he's better than McCain and Palin. Both of them are jokes to mankind, and no matter how useless Obama is at least he is more decent a human being than that pair.

Although personally I already have dumbass politicians to worry about (specially when China manifested interest in Portugal), so I could care less whereas USA is satisfied or not.
