Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2013 Joined: 24 Sep 2008    | I'm from Canada (Vancouver, British Columbia, specifically), and we just re-elected the Conservative party for some stupid reason. I don't like them; they don't agree with my views, and I don't believe that they agree with the views of most Canadians, either. I think they won because the leader of the Liberals is so ineffectual. I can take solace in the fact that they still only have a minority government, but it doesn't change the fact that I watched the American election results and said "I don't hate that" when I was unable to say the same thing just a few weeks earlier in my own country. If we're going for standard pizzas, I'm going to go for pepperoni, but there's a place in Vancouver called Uncle Fatih's and their potato pizzas are absolutely incredible. |

Muckraker  Posts: 264 Joined: 5 Nov 2008    | I'm from the USA, and currently, I'm a little unsettled about my government. I don't agree with a lot of the choices Bush made during his term, and I'm currently on the fence about Obama, since his term hasn't started yet. As for pizza, Hawaiian, and if that's not available, sausage. |

Hey fair call mate, thats all you can do and you'll have to let him play it out and see what he can do to re-establish control in the US! Thanks for the post! Joe |

Why thank you. I see no reason in being biased for or against someone who hasn't even begun making decisions for our country. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 847 Joined: 3 Aug 2008 | Haha thanks for the replies! Probably worth asking.. What do you WANT to see in the near future (govt wise), what changes, what needs to be changed. Thanks guys/gals. Joe |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1554 Joined: 10 Sep 2008   | I'm from the U.S. I don't really pay attention to the government, although maybe I should, and my favorite pizza is deep dish supreme. |

Yep. Iron_Ninja should be along soon as well. I'm pretty sure Avykins is a kiwi as well |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1146 Joined: 27 Aug 2008 | Dayton, Ohio, United States. No. Hawaiian or Works. No anchovies or olives. |

Any particular reason why you don't like your government? You don't believe Obama can make the necessary changes to stabilise your infrastructure? Or you think he's a plain c***? Haha. -Joe ps. Bejesus Im running out of hawaiians here! |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1146 Joined: 27 Aug 2008 |
I don't think that anyone should be stabilizing our "infrastructure", and I think Obama is an empty suit--which he came close to saying, himself, at one point. Human Rorschach test. People see what they want to. In any case, Obama is not synonymous with the U.S. government. I also object universally to the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court, the various state and city governments, the Joint Chiefs, the CIA, the FBI, the police, military, and the department of Agriculture. And the Cabinet. And anyone else that works directly for the government. It's not THEM so much as everything they've said and done for the past 100+ years. |

Provincial government I don't know much about though they did go on record today announcing they will drop all provincial tax on what they called "cultural" purchases (ie CDs, DVDS, etc.) so I can't view them as bad guys. Plus they aren't seperatists which is a worry here. And I like my pizza Canadian with actual peameal bacon. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1416 Joined: 9 Jun 2008   | Middle of Nowhere, Nova Scotia, Canada. Harper is a tool, much rather see Layton or May or whoever the heck the Liberals feed to the wolves next in charge. I'll take a slice of pepperoni and a slice of Hawaiian and put them on top of one another, so the toppings are all between the crusts, creating the pizza sandwich, a marvel of food technology. And what does it say about me that my pizza sentence is longer than my politics sentence? |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 888 Joined: 29 Mar 2008   | Merida, yucatan, Mexico Yes i do like my government and i belive they can make the difference here and my favorite pizza will be the domino's pizza extravaganza XD and the one whit many kinds of cheese!! also in another tone... today is my birthday!! woooo !! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2770 Joined: 13 Feb 2008   | Minneapolis, Minnesota: come for the casserole, stay because you're snowed in. I don't know about my government, honestly. They certainly haven't been doing a bang-up job of late, but Obama seems to know what's what. I don't really follow politics. Hawaiian pizza is amazing, but most people don't try it because their initial reaction is "Pineapple? On pizza? Wierd." Their loss. |

Happy Birthday milomalo. Have fun being older slowly. |

You should let them know where I live people regularly put butter on their crusts and mayonnaise all over their pizza. Now THAT'S weird. |

Ah, so you gave Helen Clark and company the boot? I spent the first half of this year working in Wellie. Nice town and so on. Anyways, from the US and I must say change is a good thing. Eight years of idiotic policy is now over. *whew* As to pizza, give me a italian sausage and garlic. yummy. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 159 Joined: 17 Nov 2008    | Great Britain. I am indifferent about my government. The British Labour Party has lurched to the right in the last 10-15 years in order to incorporate the middle classes of the Home Counties and the bankers of the City of London. Being drawn towards the left, the Labour Party should be my first point of call in mainstream British politics, but I find them too similar to the Conservative Party in far too many aspects. Someone like John Cruddas taking over the party would make me get back on board. My favourite pizza is Salami. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 360 Joined: 11 Oct 2008  | Texas, United States. I'm... concerned with the government, in such a way that I am doing everything I can to learn as much as possible regarding our intelligence, Homeland Security, and foreign policies all work together. It's kind of a big deal to me. I don't trust my government, and I don't think I'm supposed to. I'll take pizza Margherita, the original, with tomatoes, sliced mozzarella, basil, and olive oil. And not to offend, but Hawaiian pizza... see, don't get me wrong, I LOVE pineapple, but something about pineapple that's warm like that just... ugh. It's the texture, I think, but Hawaiian pizza is definitely not for me. Y feliz cumpleaņos, milomalo! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1464 Joined: 15 May 2008    | Radelaide reporting from Newcastle, Australia. I wouldn't know my government if they slapped me in the face. Then again, if they slapped in the face ACA would be all over that! :P And I like my pizza deep pan, and covered in BBQ sauce and meat. Mmm... Dead animal flesh... |
Muckraker Posts: 235 Joined: 4 Aug 2008 | Alabama, United States. Don't really like it here, but that's probably because I've lived in way better places. I don't vote and don't really care about the government as a whole. I think most of it is bullshit and it'll work itself out no matter who is President or which party is running the show for the House and such. If I did vote, I would probably throw it away on some independent or libertarian anyway. I would probably take more of an interest if I lived in a swing state or if the electoral system was removed completely. I like my pizza...well, in a lot of different ways. Jalapenos, grilled chicken, bacon (not Canadian bacon, real bacon), and black olives is one of my favorites. I also enjoy just a plain cheese pizza. White pizzas are good too. I basically eat everything except sausage, but I can even tolerate that. |

Here, it's often sour cream. I can't see mayonnaise myself, but I don't like mayonnaise very much. |
Paperboy Posts: 23 Joined: 12 Nov 2008 |
Sour cream? That may in fact take the cake. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 148 Joined: 5 Nov 2008   | Alabama, USA Im dissapointed with the election but ill wait to see what our new president does...my favorite pizza is a super crispy fun chicken suprise deep dish pizza(...dont ask how i got them to make it or name it) or the hamburger lovers pizza. |

My questions to you are...
Where are you from?
Do you like your government?
Reasons why/why not?
What is your favourite pizza? :)
I myself am a New Zealand bloke, Our country just voted in a new government. I am very happy about that. Change is good and what this country needs. A fresh start.
