I would have to find a website to stream it. I am definitely not going to do that. Is there some reason I should make an effort to see this now when I have never been interested in seeing one in the past? | ||

First of all, it is American, I'm not from the US, so I could care less. Second of all, even if it was Canadian I'm sure I would hear people talking about it for the next 2 months so I'm not really going to be missing anything that important. I mean if there were shoes thrown at Obama I would look that part up on youtube for kicks but I have no interest in it. + Show Spoiler + Should have been a 4th option. | ||

The beltway is gonna be gridlocked, lol. I personally couldn't really care about the inauguration though. Probably just gonna do some other things. | ||

The power is passing from one administration to another, and with that comes a new philosophy (and yes, it IS a change in philosophy that is coming, there will be differences in the way US treats other countries, the way it uses its military, the way it executes health care, etc). Since the USA has a lot of power and opportunities, its important for the US to handle and execute these opportunities more constructively and that I think it will now. Basically, what I'm saying, is since the whole world gets affected by this, it is very important to a lot more people than, say, if a new Canadian PM took office... one that didn't ridiculously suspend parliament (though a new Canadian PM would have significance in the world too, just not as much;)) | ||

On January 20 2009 11:09 ColdLava wrote: How are you adding anything to the thread at all if all you are saying is "I don't care." That's the point I was trying to give to Frits. ????? The thread asked "What are your plans for the inauguration?" I answered it did I not? All I did not say was "I don't care." My post was not nearly a one liner like that. I answered the question in the OP, AND explained why I answered like that. On January 20 2009 11:09 ColdLava wrote: Imagine going to every thread in the forum and just saying "I don't care." That would be abysmal and that is what Frits did to this topic (not you, as much though because you actually made a point!....) Of course if you went into every thread saying "I don't care." it would be abysmal. I did not say that though, and although thats what my summary was the thread was asking a question where an answer like that is to be expected and would not be penalized for. I said my thoughts on it just like the OP asked me to do. I agree with Frits on what I think yes, but I did not just merely quote him and not say anything else nor did I start my answer cussing. Posting in the strategy forum in a topic like "[Q]PvP Does this BO work?" for example answering "I don't care." would surely be abysmal and would deserve a temp ban though IMO. I believe my post was perfectly acceptable and followed the guidlines 100%. | ||

I made pretty clear that I didnt care about this specific ceremony because it's just going to be some hollow speech and other crap that should have no place in politics. I take great interest in politics and history, stop assuming that I don't care about what goes on in the world because I dont care for some silly speech. You should stop inferring things from my post based on what you think my intention was and look at what is actually written down. inauguration =/= politics You basically inferred that I didn't care about racial equality or the other things you mentioned because I don't care for some speech, I hope you can see how ridiculous that is. | ||
