Question- where was this philosophy during 8 years of Bush-bashing?

That was going to be one of my next points. When Bush won, the story was "country divided." Obama wins, "unity," and "coming together." 55,000,000 did not vote Obama.

Bush was not platforming on unity

I don?t have a stake in this horserace (didn?t vote for Obama or McCain) ? but for the sake of historical accuracy,? Bush ?00 did run on a ?unity platform? as did Obama ?08.

Anyone remember ?I?m a ?uniter? not a ?divider?.? and all that talk about reaching across the aisle at the Texas
statehouse?....

I have heard this all over the place. "Coming together," "unity." I didn't vote for Obama. I will put my support behind him because that is what we do as Americans. That doesn't mean we have to agree with everything he does or every policy he proposes. That is the beauty of a multi-party system.

Looks like Obama supporters are rubber and you're glue!

Here's what another of your brethren had to say, remember?

You disappoint me. I was expecting something more along the lines of:

"Thank you. Yes, good things are coming to all of us, and even though you didn't vote for Obama, you too will benefit from the good things to come."

Don't you guys have any faith in your future?

Here's another song for all of you Obama supporters. Bring back the 70's!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!

And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius

Why so much hatred? Didn't you listen to McCain's concession speech? It is time to come together...

Why interpret it negatively? Don't you believe what's coming is good?

Congratulations to all of the Obama supporters out there. You deserve what's coming. For the rest of us, we don't deserve it, but we're going to get it anyway. And, don't forget, if anything doesn't work out as planned over the next four years, it's all Bush's fault.

During my lunch break today I sat at Union Square and talked to 3 tourists from Denmark. They were lovely and asked questions about the election and showed their love for Obama. They seemed as excited as I am :D

I am sure they were lovely.

I am sure they showed their love for Obama.

What you may not know, is that Denmark has the highest individual income tax rate in the world (60%, compared to 36% currently in the US), and that is before they tack on a 20%+ VAT (value added tax, or sales tax) on everything they buy.

The Danes have never met a tax their did not love.

So I hope that their love for Obama is not a harbinger of what is to come to the US, lovely Jillian, or else we're pretty much effed.

It's amazing how dumb McCain supporters are, they haven't noticed how bad the country has gotten under Republican leadership. When Bush and his congress cronies get kicked out of office, our country will go back to what it once was, a country everyone admires and respects because of it's many freedoms and opportunities which no other country has matched.

I saw TV clip in Florida this weekend whereas the moron Obama voters applauded their candidates policies, and then the TV Journalist told them the policies were all from McCain. One was Don't you want a candidate that was a war veteran. It is sad people are voting on an empty suit.

McCain fans, ladies and gentleman. Give 'em a round of applause.

If so, you should really stop having your dummy say so many silly things.

Alright, I'll give you the ventriloquist joke. But please explain the silly things?

No replies? I was wondering too. There's probably a game over at NJCU. Not sure when or what time though. Also, maybe there's a game at Grace Church, where we vote. But again, I don't have any specific information. If you do find a game, please post it or send a message.

Thanks.

You do know you have to get a parking permit right? It is $10/year for residents, but I think you will have to change your plates to NJ (not 100% sure). I do know, however, that your insurance must reflect your current address, you will have to show a lease or something else to prove you are living here, and your registration must be in your name. The Parking Authority is located on Central Ave in JC. You should get this taken care of ASAP or you will continue getting tickets and they will probably just tow/boot your car at a certain point.
Also...FYI-there is no street cleaning on Wednesdays.

http://www.getnj.com/jerseycity/parkingpermit.shtml

Not all streets/neighborhoods require parking permits. If you live close to Bayonne then odds are that you don't need one.

If you can, go to court to fight the tickets. I'd also take photos of the area where you received the 2nd ticket to show that there wasn't proper signage.

Some areas have Wednesday street cleaning as well as Saturdays. Yes you must have Jersey plates especially if your insurance reflects your current J.C. address. And I believe the fee is up to $15. Here in J.C. we take our parking seriously.

I am relatively new the area, living close to Bayonne. I have Virginia plates, and in the past two days I have received 3 tickets. Two of them were FOUR MINUTES apart from each other for not moving my car during street cleaning. I have no problem paying one ticket for that. Today, I got one that said 'parked in non designated parking area' but I was not in the red or the yellow, or on a side of street where there was sweeping or anything else going on. I am starting to think I am getting ticketed because I have out of state plates. I am going to court to fight two of the three tickets. Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening? Also, having to move my car 5 days a week for street cleaning (which does nothing!) is getting pretty absurd.

Mathias, that article was interesting, and brings up the main reasons why I dislike hipsters. When the history books look back at our generation, we are going to be remembered for remembering. It's pathetic.

I'm sorry, but yeah, I'm gonna hate on people who wear FAKE glasses, and make my generation embarrassing.

Me, get with a hipster chick? PLease. No one think hipsters girls are attractive, not even hipster guys. They are fugly, dirty, and have way too many clothes on for my taste. And what's with the
Lucy from charlie brown haircut?

OF COURSE YOU DON'T SEE HIPSTERS IN THE MIDWEST, you dumdum. They are people who move from the midwest and then dress like they THINK "cool city kids" dress.

Hold on...

I think a lot of people on this thread are confusing the term "hipster" and "Artist". They are two totally different things.

Hipsters are cultural tourists, posers. They add no value to a community. They are parasites. They move here from the midwest after getting a liberal arts degree, and once they get their city fix, they move back home.
