Derek, if you say that Palestinian are gonna be better without that "corrupt bastard" Araftat, Israeli AND specially the whole world would be better without that nazi, corrupt, violent and fucking Sharon... I hate Sharon in the same terms as I hate Bush (his main support in the Western world... coincidence? just money interests and probably because both are the same kinda of bastards...)

of course Bush will do that... he is really pro the nazi Sharon so obviously he will take advantage of Arafat's dead and put someone of his own in

I also hate it when I see or hear about cds on for super cheap... they are so incredibly expensive in Spain (in general, not MG's CDs which are not even sold here, I got all from them downloaded from the internet) that makes almost impossible to buy as much as i would love to...

New Found Glory - My friend's over you

When March 11 happened in Madrid this year, in that terrorist attack, i lost some loved people: I lost 2 neighbors who have been living in my parents neighborhood for all their lifes and mine (we played together when we were lil, were friends when we were lil, and we still talked and have a drink from time to time now in adulthood); I lost a relative (a cousin of mine, Javier, with whom I had a very close relationship) and I lost also a student at the university where I am... Do you really think that my first reaction was not "I wanna kill these people, i want the government to start a ´war` against them, i want the government to do whatever possible to kill these people"? Of course i thought that, of course that was my first reaction and my first feeling... I thought "Am I gonna be like them? Am I gonna ask my government to start a war against them?" I really wanned to ask for revenge, for their memory and I found it something necessary and "obvious"... But then I thought "Why do we have justice in a democracy?" Do you think that the first reaction of my ex-government was not what i said in the previous paragraph? I'm sure it was... but they didn't start a war against them, they didnt even send troops to Morocco (from where most of the islamic terrorists who attacked Madrid were from)... What did my ex-government (and specially, the new government) do? Exactly what you expect from a democratic country as Spain is: looking for cooperation among countries, looking for international cooperation, looking for a solution to the problem talking and trying to get understanding, using justice (national and international) to fight against islamic terrorism... but never started a war, never used violence to "erradicate" that threat in my country... And I agree with that decision... even having lost beloved people around me in that attack... That's the base of a democracy, that's the base of human understanding and cooperation and trust... we are not living in a jungle in which everybody can take revenge on someone by his/her own means... there are laws, there is justice to try to fight against unfair situations And I loved (and I will always love) those people I lost in that attack... but I dont think (and I don't believe in that) that violence, war, weapons are the solution to problems in our societies Sorry for such a long message, I just wanned to make my point clear enough

nice and deep words, Jon

apparently not yet... he's "clynacally dead" (don't even know if you say something like this) and i don't think he will last for very long... but he's not dead yet

FUCK YOU BUSH... and come to Spain to get me!!! I'm not afraid of such a crap like you... I'm just pity for your fellow citizens and for the rest of the world that will have to suffer you and your administration and your policies for four more years... but i'm not afraid of you AT ALL

http://www.matthewgood.org/web/mblog/index.php Americans Re-Elect George W. Bush George Bush, the most unpopular American President in history outside of the United States, has been re-elected. His re-election says something about the intelligence of the majority of Americans, about American arrogance, about American insularity, and America’s obvious desire to openly claim it’s place in the pantheon of imperial powers. How are those of us outside of the United States supposed to react to this news? Prior to 9/11, numerous American administrations were responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of people in various regions of the world for a variety of pro-American reasons. Freedom was often claimed as the primary reason, which was, of course, one of the justifications given for the invasion of Iraq. It is, I might add, the only justification left of those initially given, as no weapons of mass destruction were found and no connection between Iraq and 9/11 ever existed. Of course, the majority of Americans are completely unfamiliar with the history of their own foreign policy actions, so one can see why they tend to be comfortable living with lies and the liars who tell them. Never the less, nearly 3,000 Americans died on September 11th, an event that allowed a group of individuals to implement one of the most dangerous foreign policy platforms in US history. It also solidified a place in history for a President who has the deaths of 3,000 Americans to thank for rescuing him from historical obscurity. 9/11 outraged Americans, who simply couldn’t believe that anyone in their right mind would attack such a peaceful, freedom loving country. This led to the blind stereotyping of an entire segment of the world’s population, an entire religion, and influenced the American public to back a series of reckless military campaigns which have since cost the lives of 1000+ Americans, and will most likely result in the first military draft since the Vietnam era. (It matters little what President Bush said during stump speeches or the debates prior to the election). As a direct result of America’s knee jerk reaction to lash out after 9/11, thousands of innocent Afghanis have lost their lives. Afghanistan remains in turmoil, governed by a man that was once an advisor to one of the largest oil companies in the US (and has his nose so far up the White House’s ass that he might as well be a West Wing janitor). Of course, such realities don’t deter idiotic American conservatives from blabbering on about how Afghanistan is now free. So is El Salvador, supposedly. Where did 60,000 Salvadorans go before that conclusion was reached? For that matter, how many Guatemalans died after the United States paid for and supported a coup so that they could oust a leader that had the audacity to place the needs of his people before those of an American company? Since the invasion of Iraq, some 16,000+ innocent Iraqis have been killed, (some 100,000 excess Iraqi deaths have occurred since the war began). Is the rest of the world therefore to believe that Iraqi lives are worth less than American lives? If so, then what are Canadian lives worth? The majority of the world believes the United States to be a greater threat to world security than terrorism. What does that say about the re-election of the man that is responsible for producing that opinion? I’m afraid, in the years to come, that Osama Bin Laden will be the least of America’s worries. What purpose does the US constitution serve when it protects the liberties of a nation that blindly supports the strong-arming of other people? What point is there in keeping up the illusion that the United States is a land that consists of people that love real freedom? If anything , it’s a land in which self interest rules. Indeed, the re-election of George Bush speaks volumes about the American character. Prior to this moment I held the American people apart from the actions of their government, believing that if they had the chance to reverse what has been done that they would. Unfortunately, I now find that difficult to do. My children will inherit a more dangerous world because of the outcome of this election. What am I to tell them when they ask why anyone would willingly support such a reckless, tepid, and bigoted man? The outcome of this election has made clear where the majority of the people of the United States stand. Arm in arm with conquest, greed, and selfish insularity. The rest of the world will pay the price for it. So how, exactly, should the rest of the world be feeling today? Like a target? Either you're with us or against us. Mr. Bush would do well to remember that it works both ways. --------------- I couldn't have explained it better (specially because I dont have the language ability to do it since English is not my first language). I COMPLETELY share MG's point of view and ideas (that's one of the things why I love MG)

Hi all, since there are many posts here talking about the same, i decided to open a post just for us to write all our reactions on the results in the american elections today... I have written a lot (probably too much and I apologize if I was repeating many things in different posts, didnt mean to bore you or get you tired with my opinions...) and I can't write more right now Sending you hugs from Spain, from Europe, with a different point of view on things than Americans Juanpe

Kerry has already accepted he has been defeated and that he won't fight for those votes still being waited to be counted

it is all over... yes, my friends, it is all over... and with that result that many of us didn't want and didn't even think of

the strong european system hasnt been built with wars: it has been built with understanding among countries, it has been built with tolerance, it has been built with cooperation among the different countries (states if talking about the european union)... I feel very proud of being an european guy, very proud of being a member of one of the states who belongs to this european union... and i'm very proud of the understanding, tolerance, cooperation and respect for others which is the base of my country, Spain, and of many countries in europe

I feel weird now to read my post here some days ago... I really thought Kerry was gonna win... I suppose i trusted too much some americans' intelligence who wanned a change, who wanned not to have a war president, who wanned to think more on human rights and humanity than in money and economical profit... i was really convinced of Kerry winning the elections... and now I must admit that i was completely wrong: it's not only that Kerry hasn't won the elections but that Bush has gotten even more support than 4 years ago: more americans have trusted Bush in these 2004 elections... unbelievable but true and these are the results I wish i wasn't wrong (hadn't been so wrong)... but I was and I must admit it now

the point was that i was nervous waitin for the results... i think that whatever the americans vote affects the rest of the world: look what has happened in the four last years... and what we may expect in the following four years with the same president

i'm confused with your conversation :S

that's weird because my comp crashed some weeks ago and i had to install everything again - including the DC++ program - and i did exactly the same as the first time and it works perfectly ok...

Katarina, you will love one of the new songs: "Twenty years", which is the new single... it is such a beautiful song, with wonderful Brian's voice and great lyrics and melodies...

you cannot imagine how sad the day has been for many people who are not americans (like me and many Spaniards, honest) and how speechless, disappointed and disgusted we are in Spain for the results... and in the rest of Europe, i can tell u
