  2. Libya -- No thanks, I prefer Burkhas! Go Dar al Islam!

    Libyan strongman Muammar al-Qaddafi recently commented on the U.S. Democratic Party and it's view of how awful the U.S. was and how badly it needs to change.
    "I've seen that in America, a candidate who wants people to vote for him keeps talking about change. They all keep saying 'change, change'. They want to change America and its current political system. They want to make a change in their lives. They say their system is a failure, that their government is a failure, and that their elections are a failure."

    Qaddafi offered Libya as a model for the future of the U.S. The whole world will return to the model of the republic of the masses, to communes, to popular security, to popular defense, to popular capitalism, and to popular socialism. The whole world will return to the Libyan model."
    There seem to be a good mix of Islamists and Americans on this forum, so this seems like a good idea for a poll.

    Where would you rather live Libya (Dar al Islam) or the United States (Dar al Harb)?

    And no petty squabbles about how Libya isn't your personal perfect implementation of Islamic Law! You don't get to be the Caliph until you murder a lot of people and if you're wasting your time on DP you're obviously not out there murdering people!

    Do you need to have a poll for this? I think the answer is obvious, USA is the lesser of the two evils :)

    There is only two choices in the poll, USA for certain, but I find that Australia is a far nicer place :) Not everyone wants an American dream.

    Funny thing is, the OP promotes US through bikinis, very noble and respectful. Seeking political analysis on a sexual appeal basis. Well, Kaddafi is not a reasonable and objective man, but with this poll, you are on his level. ;)

    In the U.S., we do not have a tradition of respect for stupidity.

    Besides, I like bikinis!

    I still see no votes for Dar al Islam! Aren't you going to support the home team?

    Are their jobs in Libya? Probably, but not as much as in the U.S.A.

    I obviously voted for the U.S. :D

    What home team? You are trying to satisfy your "we are so great" ego through an obviously subjective poll, promoting US as a Rio beach. If one chooses US over Libya, it won't be over testesteron driven reasons, your country has better things to offer, that's where you failed with respect to your own, not Libya.

    I wouldn't choose Lybia bcause for one it is a desert that relies on an underground aquifer that predates the ice age. One the water as well as the oil is used up, it will be the end.

    There is only one thing better than babes in bikini's.

    No wonder there's so much violence in Dar al Islam -- it's pent up sexual frustration!

    A women can not walk down the street without the threat of being rapped. In some Islamic countries a women getting into a car with men is an excuse for rape.

    Who cares about ruling systems, America would still be great even if it was ruled by a bunch of foolish madmen !

    In fact, i think it already is ;)

    I recommend this poll for most Stupid DP Poll of 2008.

    Having another dig and comparing Bikinis to Burkhas Will, you have really excelled yourself with this one. :eek:
