Obama is a commie. I'm a capitalist pig plain and simple. Cannot vote for him.

Is there a political forum section on n4g? Oh no? Then no further comment.

1.3 - Both Candidates Suck
McCain is too old and I don't like what he proposes especially with regards to healthcare and taxes. Obama is just not trustworthy with ties to terrorists and sleeper cells in America plus that church he was a member of for so many years and all the crap that got spewed from that preacher's mouth.

The whole thing just sucks. Last debate of lies, misdirection, pointing fingers, (not answering the questions too) is tonight.

*sigh* God help us.

Yeah I saw that. Early voting starts in Illinois soon. I'm voting for him, but I don't like ads in video games. Don't hate them, just don't like them. The bright side of this is at least he doesn't hate video games and such.

These type of ads aren't too intrusive to me, they're just there so I don't mind. Its just a billboard.

ie.
I don't mind the ads on this site, besides the animation they don't do anything.

But I really hate it when websites play that "Fat Joe" song or "Congratulations! You just won a Free iPod Nano". This kind of stuff makes me want to use software to block all ads.

2.3 - I'd Rather Keep Politics Out of Games
I've learned enough from all the bogus claims against games to keep the politicians away from them.

3 - Fols do realize they cycle the ads?
The ads have been in Burnout Paradise since release. Can't remember the name of the ad company, but they work with EA. Any time you connect to the Xbox Live or PSN networks, if EA has new ads, the billboards change. I've seen the billboards change several times during extended play cycles.

i.e. just because a certain billboard in your game shows something, it does not mean a fellow gamer will see the exact same ad.

He doesn't know how to check an email because he can't physically do it.The war injuries he suffered from being a pow has caused him to not have proper control of his hands and fingers. So why would he learn how to send an email if he can't physically do it?

It goes both ways. Like how people call McCain a fascist or a neocon and Palin a Cunt. It goes both ways. Also, the only reason half the people will vote for Obama is because he's black. Why is that a good reason to vote for somebody?

Just because I don't like Obama doesn't make me racist and has nothing to do with him being black. I don't like McCain either though so whatever.

Still don't want political adds in games.

15.1 - I agree
keep politics out of gaming. Once they get in office they turn around and ban the games we love. I also hate the way Democrats patronize young people, like we all vote for them by default.

Maybe I dont like socialism, maybe I like a free country were government does not run my life. Don't assume I love Obama just cuz Im black either, I hate that.

Democrats want to control your life, and Republicans are said to be a bunch of black people haters, we need a 3rd party.

16 - I'm sorry but I cannot vote for a guy who's name means "peach"
That's right. Obama's name means peach. Barack = peach in Hungarian. That is the exact work...barack. It's funny because I'm Hungarian and I just can't take the guys seriously.

One candidate is wors than the other.

I won't even vote at all there is no one normal to vote for. Both are crap.

with McCain, you get continued war support and Bush's politics. Meaning he's eliminated from the list of good choices.

And Hilary, well, she's not that bad but she's kinda like a less awesome version of Obama

16.5 - @ Timesplitter
You speak of continued war support as a bad thing but in the second debate Obama wanted to get out of Iraq and go more heavily into Afganistan to get Osama. He stated that it was a mistake to cut out of Afganistan before the job was done and get into it with Iraq yet it seems that's what he is proposing. Cut and run and go somewhere else.

You want politics and everything concerned with it to stay the hell away from games as much as possible. Politicians are not your friend if you enjoy video games and if you think Obama or McCain wouldn't sign a law to ban video games tomorrow if it would get them elected then you're a fool.

20 - in the year 2009
A man who promise hope & change was elected to the us presidency. People that voted for him thought he was the messiah, the savior who would bring change to everyone's lives for the better. Change did happen in deed, "That one" 1st priority was to go after the Second Amendment and ban people from owning guns. He's plan was to disarm anyone who would pose a threat to his rule. He went after big businesses which force companies to laid off people to cut down on expenses while other companies decided to take their business overseas. China,India,& Dubai became the leading capitalist nations in the world. The once all mighty US nation became a bankrupt third world country under "that one" rule. Marshall law was in full effect and any one caught breaking it would suffer the wrath of "that one" iron fist. There was a group of civilians who "that one" had label them as revels that needed to be hunt down till they were all extinct since they were the only one's who had resisted his rule. These civilians call themselves the "freedom fighters" and they fought to dethrone "that one" rule of oppression. One night a mysterious light entering Earth’s nightly atmosphere crashes somewhere in Mt. McKinley with brute force. The resistance went up there to check out what had landed into Mt. Mckinley. Upon arriving they discover a mysterious space ship with debris all over it. The freedom fighters approach the ship with caution with their weapons in hand ready to encounter whatever was inside the spaceship. A minute later the spaceship door opens and a bright light illuminated the night sky. A small alien came out and told the resistance not to be alarm that he was here to help them dethrone "that one" and help them take back their country. Long story short the resistance succeeded demolishing "that one" rule thanks to the little alien. Before going back to his planet the people ask the little alien what should they call him...in which the little alien told them "Am E.T" and left earth's atmosphere.
