I can't understand why Quebec would want to separate from Canada. I mean, certainly they're one of the bigger provinces, but they still don't have enough natural resources to live on their own. Not only that, but if they [i]did[/i] separate, it'd be easy for the rest of Canada to impose a border tax on goods that go through there, so they'd lose even [i]more[/i] money.

Insanity, I say.

I was born in Cali, but I have no clue if that was a Kerry State or a Bush State :mellow:

I think we were a Kerry state.. so I put that.. but either way I would've put Bush cause I don't like bush <_<

Hahaha... California a Bush state? Oh man, that'll be the day!

Sorry. That was funny. o_o;

California is the only good state Kerry has, oh, and New York.

California alone has 55. It's a good thing that us left-wingers will always have that state. ka-ching!

I'm not exactly up to date with politics, so someone mind explaining to me what the difference between a Kerry state and a Bush state is? And how you determine which a state is? o.o;

Easy, if you say F*ck you, really really loud in your town and hear less than 3 gunshots, you're in a Kerry State, other than that (death) you're in Bush Smile

Erm, sadly, I'm more up-to-date on my Japanese politics than my American politics, but I can give it a shot.

America is not a democracy - it's a republic. Every state has a certain number of electoral votes, and depending on who the majority of people in a state vote for, all of that state's electoral votes go to that candidate. Every member of the Senate and the House of Representatives gets one electoral vote, so every state has at least three electoral votes, and the states with larger populations (like California or Texas) get more than smaller states.

California's a left-wing state, so they always vote for the Democrats. Hence, in the past election, Kerry won the vote in California, and got all 55 of CA's electoral votes. I think there are about 300-ish electoral votes total, so CA carries significant weight for the Dems. Then you've got the Bible Belt that votes Republican and yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, when the election results come in, a state ends up voting either Republican or Democratic (technically, it could be some other third party, but that never happens) - thus, Bush or Kerry states.

Someone can smack me in the head with a politics textbook if I'm completely off here. I'm such a bad social studies student.

XD Well, that's quite a bit more helpful than anything Brian had, so thanks. :)

...

Although, as soon as you uttered the word "electoral", my mind went to mush. Smile

Perhaps, but I wanted an answer I could apply to real life. XD

I like Australians, they have such cute accents. I even have a character (named Silver, he's into gadgets and his laser-shooting watch) who's Australian.
