For a moment there I hoped some people would be just completely ignored in this thread and some kind of interesting debate would happen.
I never understand why people keep arguing with hopelessly dull and biased opponents. |
Definitely not me.

55 views in the serious thread I made and the only response was Jansz fixing a typo in my title. They'd all rather flock here to defend their egos. |

He doesn't gets points from me for promising something during his run that he didn't end up doing, because he never stood a chance of persoanlly doing it in the first place. |

Pretty sure though, some nice ignoring is a great tool against unwanted people. |

I hope to live long enough to see churches taxed on their profits. This **** has to stop. http://lightingdesignalliance.com/pr...dchurch004.jpg |
I hope to live long enough to see religion extinguished from society. I genuinely feel bad for all the people who waste their lives living in fear of being themselves.

Such a naive and stupid post Frown. Dissapointing. |
Insults are not how adults discuss politics Chula.
Great American president is an oxymoron. Not a single respectable one imo. History is friendly to ones that end in tragedy, like with JFK. Edit: I would have a beer with Teddy Roosevelt to discuss moustaches but that's it. |

Admittedly, I'm not all that well-versed on JFK, but I love him for this speech alone. But since this thread is for adults only, I'll see myself out. :D |
He was a brilliant orator for sure.

I'm just listening, basically, and taking it all in. So don't mind me.

And wtf is up with not building anything or putting a human presence on the moon? No follow up. |

I believe the best political system would be a representative democracy in which the politicians are average joes who, when their term is up, return to their old, private lives. |

Let's be honest the broadness of informed decisions we expect our politicians to make are beyond the expectations of even the most intelligent people. You really need to be thoroughly educated on such a wide variety of topics it's absurd. I've always been fond of the idea of a collective of POTUS status officials each specialized in a field that collectively make decisions.. I haven't thought much about how it would function but it seems likely to result in much better decision making assuming it's not corrupt. They can each of course have a variety of advisors below them.. but a round table of sorts consisting of a few scientists, economist, diplomat, some sort of high end general, etc. Also, they can't be religious because anyone who believes in god without evidence is not capable in making evidence based decisions in at least one aspect of their life, and I'd rather not leave it up to them to decide when it is and isn't appropriate to use faith based decision making. |

This may seem like a lot, but as a father of many children who have excelled in school, I know what young people's minds are capable of if you challenge them. We could, if we really wanted to, produce a well-informed and -educated citizenry, so that even Farmer John or Plumber Ralph, when called upon by their country to serve their term, could do so competently. The problem is, as Batlord pointed out, the patrician class would never allow such a thing to ever come about. Hell, they control education in such a way that the average joe cannot even conceive of this. |

On the other hand, it still could very easily be better than the hell we're living in. |
Well, as Bat said in his original reply to me, something's gotta change.

Well since this thread kind of took off (even though it was meant to be a joke after the Trump thread got locked, AGAIN). I ask you all moving forward to not encourage ****ty behavior and insults, and try to discuss things in a civil, intellectual, objective, and logical manor. If that's too hard for you than see your way out and expect to be reported.
As Grindy suggested, let's just ignore the bad posts for once and not feed the trolls. I'd like to have just ONE thread that actually has quality debates and conversations. Anything political, religious, and philosophical is welcome, let's keep it broad, and see where this goes. Thanks. :finger: |

Whose VP was that scumbag?

I'm not calling Chula a scumbag. I'm calling LBJ a scumbag. And so was JFK.
|
What are people's views on the NAP? And where it fits in with taxation?

I wanna punch the system

JFK's bringing us out of the Cuban missile crisis is hampered by the fact that he's responsible for it happening in the first place. |
