It is easy to talk about politics, just like it is easy to talk about everything. Words make sense or they don't, that's a matter of the whole fucking discourse.
But do you ever transform your words or other people's words into actions? Apart from words, apart from talking about the war in Iraq, the horrible social circumstances in your country, the Middle East, (ry... what do you actually DO with your political knowledge, your political convictions and theories? Do you do anything at all? Or is politics just a matter of talking to you?
Discuss!

Waterloo is THE University to be at these days. It's like the Canadian version of Oxford.

Pretty good article on the coming German studying fees:
http://www.ciao.de/Studiengebuhren__Test_2904545
It's in German, though, but I doubt anyone not speaking the language would be interested in the topic anyhow.

don't worry, the new EU-guideline forcing the doors of every university open for everyone, will allow German students to escape the looming german fee, for example in Danmark, Austria (they seem genuinely worried about that), ...
Oh, I am not worried about it. The only ones being worried should be those who considered studying in Germany and the German universities. But in Germany, everyone is worried all the time, usually about the wrong thing, unfortunately.

why are you saging these posts? if you find the conversation sage worthy, perhaps you should not reply at all, or even just leave?
anyway, i wasn't replying to any comments on senseless bickering (where is that in this thread anyway? or are you merely suggesting that discussion of politics is senseless bickering? in which case, you really shouldn't be here). i was saying that everyone always seems to worry about the wrong thing, not just germans.
but anyway i think you're just being asinine.
He always sages. It's not a comment on what is worthy or isn't.
Actually, I think there's two or three permanent sagefied anonymous on 4-ch by now. You can still tell them apart if you know what to look for though.
sage has different implications on futaba-style and 2ch-style boards. On futaba-style boards where you have a low bump limit, sage is often used to show displeasure with the picture, since each sage will bring the picture closer to the bump limit. On a 2ch-style message board where the bump limit is much larger, or not existant at all, sage is used out of politeness, so as not to bump a thread if you don't think your reply is interesting enough to warrant the attention of everyone reading the board.
Har har.
Young Republicans make me laugh.
Most kids want Dems until they grow up and get jobs. Then you have those kids that really have to be different and get all pseudo-fiscally-conservate / small-gubament / not-a-goth with their little club.

I think the most counterculture political movements are the third party movements like the Libertarian Party and the Green Party. Being a Democrat or a Republican in America is mainstream, as Deomcrats got more than 40% of the vote and Republicans got more than 50%. Compared with Greens and Libertarians, who count themselves lucky to win 10% of the vote, even the Democrats are mainstream, let alone Republicans who win most elections currently.
