The Good, The Bad of 2008!

[SmashChamp]

Yeep, you got it! Like other previous threads created by me 3 years ago, before the hiatus (college and Work *grumble-grumble*)

The primary goal for this thread is to post, both The good and bad times you've had with 2008. If you are like me and every other few billion blokes on this great hunk of dirt we call...earth, now is the time to get whatever it is off your chest; hell throw in a New Years resolution if you want. Just keep it simple, fun, humorous...



Good: OBAMA Y'ALL!
Passing & Surviving another year of college. Oh yeah! ..Whose your daddy?!
...Few video games sucked this year


Bad: George Bush j.r.
Video games not as hot like 2007: Way too many to list here!
Google Chrome...
Azen, Isai, Mew2King, Chudat, Azen...again. Dominating this year

Wait, there was GOOD this year?

My dad practically committed suicide on an alcohol binge, the economy is now in the ****ter, I've got a teacher who hates my guts, I've got severe emotional issues, and now I believe the world is a truly horrid place.

EDIT: AND Brawl totally disappointed everyone's expectations.

Okay here comes the cons: recession, male guy getting pregnant (wtf?), overhyped election of 08 (I did'nt root 4 anyone), poor Brwal competition, Spike VGAs, PSP's 2008 GOTY.

I think that's it...

-Losing good friends i've known an been with since 3rd grade
-George W. Bush last year- i and many others who truly appreciate what you truly and really have done for the past 8 years for this country (no not running it into the ground), and not the past 2 years that the Liberals have screwed up and blamed it on the president. you may not have been any Ronald Reagan or Abraham Lincoln, but you were a strong leader nonetheless. I salute you, and detest and abhor those toss you and spit you about because of some liberal propaganda.
-Subprime Mortgage crisis, brought to you by liberals gaining from F+F, like Obama and Barney Frank.

 

[Crimson King]

Lincoln was a god awful president and a tyrant. It is fair that Bush isn't to his level, only because Bush wasn't as bold as Lincoln was, nor was he as blatantly racist.

Also, the mortgage problem was caused by Bernake, and his brood of neo-conservatives, who while using extremely liberal spending, are technically republicans.

Many times The Bush Administration and other guys Like John McCain warned time and time again of the Subprime Mortgage mess that would come, and the dominant democrats in the house, liberals like Barney Frank and later Obama himself, ignored the warnings completely, continued to get money of F+F while ignoring and forcing banks to make risky loans. They Also continued to deny the coming crisis under the call that There is no crisis.

Last year, during the primaries, Ron Paul said time and time again we were approaching and economic crisis, and McCain laughed at him. McCain is just as much of a tool as Bush, Obama, and all the other cronies in office.
