Politics It's gonna get awful quiet in here by the far Right in two weeks

Take population census more than every 10 years for one. But I dont know all the details without doing more research. I do think a census every ten years is not enough. populations can totally change in a decade.

 

If the EC stands, and does not go away (which i am in favor of abolishing), I could 100% get down with this sort of update.

 

Tell me how when I say I want peopel to chose thier local leaders im against freedom of choice?

Man. You sure take giant leaps.....

And My opinion your logic is illogical because you aren't fully informed and apparently don't care to be in order to come to a decision. A problem all too familiar in todays people. You read one line and think you know all based off of that.

Fools gold.

 

I think those who judge you are wrong. I think there are too many dichotomies to make a judgement call. So, I'm on your side on this one.

 

No, ain't a'gonna happen. This shifts power to the sparsely populated states and they ain't gonna give that up. You'd have more luck getting Donald to release his tax returns voluntarily.

 

Me too. I've chosen to withhold my tongue lashings from my wheelchair although I do reserve the right to unload on transgressors with my rubber band gun. Ruthless? Yes, but sometimes you gotta lay down the law.

 

Technically we aren’t a true Republic. To paraphrase John Adams, true republics are unsustainable by their very nature, as the minority generally rules....until the majority decides it’s had enough. In truth, we are a Democratic Republic. The majority generally rules while the rights of the minority are protected. Big difference. Just sayin’.......

 

You are against freedom of choice when it comes to national elections. I'm not reading anything false into your statement.

 

How is that "i'm against freedom of choice?" Are you literally not able to ascertain the difference? Are you not able to differentiate statements? Do you generalize everything? If I dont like Green BEans, do I not like vegatables?

I mean wtf are you even talking about?

This is why we are in a downward spiral. Too many people use this illogical logic.

Because I said this, I MUST mean that...

Because I said all lives matter, I must be a racist.
Because I said Black lives matter, I must be against Whites.


People need to really stop judging in this manner. It is the main problem we have everywhere.


You are smarter than this Aaron.

 

Good Point.

 

Unfortunately many people want to elimante the electoral college and in turn rights of the minority.

 

The gall of those people thinking the votes of the many should count as much as the votes of the few.

 

He didn't say you're against freedom of choice in EVERYTHING. He said it seemed hypocritical to be pro freedom of choice, but then want to limit what choices. Your analogies about green beans doesn't match.
A different analogy. I'm pro choice. However, women are stupid, so they shouldn't be able to decide who provides healthcare to them. We should have a different group decide that.
Someone might say that seems rather hypocritical(I'd agree). That doesn't mean they now think I oppose abortion. Just that limiting one choices is hypocritical in a pro choice stance.

 

None of your arguments make an ounce of sense. You literally said that you don't think the people alone should choose candidates on a national scale. Did you not say that?

 

If one says that, then it goes by logic and ALL reasonable comprehension that you are not for freedom of choice when it comes to electing candidates on a national scale. Who is the one being unreasonable here? You are better than this.

 

Not attacking anyone. I wouldn't respond to him if I didn't like him. If we, the people are not electing leaders on a national scale, then do we really have freedom of choice? I think that is a valid question. Instead our friend keeps thinking I'm making assumptions and being political and judgmental.

 

Sorry, but this also doesnt add up.

Then we are all hypocritical when we vote laws in to wear seatbelts.

I mean what IS freedom of choice?

I stand by my stance. This is nonsense and nitpicking just to nitpick.

When we get down to it. NONE of us have complete freedom of choice on all matters. So the hypocritical statement is foundationally slippery.

Let me put it another way. Are you for the freedom of choice for one to convict a murderer? IM not. If someone has commited murder and been found guilty, there should not be a choice in whether that person has punishment coming or not. There can be a choice as to what type of punishment, but punishment should not be a choice. The public should not be able to choose whether a child molestor is set free or not.


There are asterisks in life.


To try to call me out as a hypocrite because I said I don't believe in freedom of choice for one small thing is hypocritical in its own right considering none of us have complete freedom of choice and we are fine with it.

do you have the freedom of choice to not get a ticket for speeding? You have a freedom of choice to speed, but that freedom will be taken away if you do it too many times. You have a choice to steal a car and continue to speed, but then that choice will be taken away as well eventually.


So I don't understand this calling me out as a hypocrite for this.

To me this is just more virtue signalling so someone can seem better than another, rather than just having a discussion.
