Let's get rid of the Electoral College

@spendius,

I admire your patience: sadly I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people. This place doesn't seem to have any. It's those stupid Americans: you won't civilise them; They don't understand intelligent debate.
Setanta even argues that a corrupt criminal like Nixon shouldn't be barred.
Its so stupid.

@Setanta,

I think in view of your claim to know a little history: he will not be viewed as a beacon of virtue. Benedict Arnold was not convicted of any crime in his life: in fact he is considered a capable general. However some view him as a traitor.
You are so intent on trying to prove your cleverness. However it is the sign of the insecure.
You claim that having an election is in 3 months is a stupid idea. Every other country does it. Even the billion people of developing India.
I wonder why you daren't discuss? It would make an interesting topic for psycho-analysis. Why do you fear me?

An interesting idea. You mean each state is only motivated by it own interests and would rather see the whole country go to hell. What a disgusting barbaric country that sounds

Then you're still exposing yourself to whiffs of manure even if you step around them. The only reason I can see to do that is if you sometimes like the smell of manure (as many people on these threads seem to).

that is ros's justification for the hermit's cave where he keeps his brains.

There's manure in the world--oh dearie dearie me. What would Momma have said.

What a silly sod he is.

You wonder why Set talks to us: we are all too stupid for him. I mean he graces us with his presence and all we do is point of he is talking nonsense.
He is so intelligent I feel unworthy even being on the same site. That clever point he made that..........er well never mind. He told us it was clever so we must listen.
You notice how everyone is swayed by his logic. In America he can pass himself off as bright. Brits can spot a James Hunt. He is definitely a merchant banker.

but it may well have been the only truthful thing he ever said,
except for the patriotic part. The type of scummy actions
that Reagan/North and company took part in have nothing to do with patriotism.

By your use of such language, u prove that u can only BRANDISH your EMOTIONS;
u cannot employ reason to support your anti-American invective.

In your post, u implicitly ADMIT that u have LIED to us
( saying: "If he didn't, he sure could have . . . " )
in that he NEVER said what u deceptively claimed that he said.
The rest of your post is mindless anti-American hysteria.
If u admit to lying to us about THIS,
can we believe u if u tell us how OTHER THINGS u lied to us about?

Since you are an admitted LIAR,
who among us shoud be so foolish as to believe u in future posts?

Let the record indicate that I voted for Reagan in both of his LANDSLIDE elections,
and that I wish that I coud done so again 2 months ago.

He would pull a Felix Happer stroke on you Fountie. Resistance analysis is a closed book to him.

Yes, of course.
That is natural and is to be expected.
It was set up that way, on a competitive basis,
expecting that the citizens of each state will elect
representatives to REPRESENT (i.e., advocate for and strive for)
the interests of their respective constituencies; failure to DO that is BETRAYAL; a knife in the back.
That is how everything was set up,
fully in accord with the observed laws of nature
and observed facts and trends of history.

There is no such dichotomy,
but qua your implicit idea of intentionally reducing one 's own benefit,
SABOTAGING one 's own polititical strength,
u 'll have as much luck looking for men scattering fine diamonds and rubies
thru out the streets. The small states will NOT deliberately injure themselves.
Thay are NOT self-destructive.
In America, we do not undertake political POTLATCHES.

That is only the festering of your own emotions,
to which u r welcome.

I don t think that 's very WISE, but happy festering.

So the phrase One Nation, Undivided under god is a load of hogwash. Each state would rather see all their countrymen suffer as long as they are OK?
Perhaps the constitution needs changing

We the people, don't give a fig about our neighbours, we are a selfish and cruel race of greedy land stealers.

That sounds closer to your vision.

None of that pious hogwash about a house divided against it self cannot stand. I mean what kind of fool would say that?

You fail to understand the English language. It has concepts like Irony, humour and sarcasm. To describe this as lies is like calling a drama a lie. I was para phrasing.
I'm sorry: I'm used to talking to people who have English as their first language: luckily we put all our retards on a boat called the Mayflower. They have apparently flourished and produced a race of super halfwits. I wonder what happened to them

So your defense of mendacity
is that u are too dim of wit to understand the difference
between a parafraze and a LIE
(unless u show that he said that he was financing terrorism).

U lie AGAIN, about THAT.
Unlike those folks transported to the Botany Bay Colony,
those on the Mayflower were not exiled
and u did not put them ANYWHERE.

Is the truth ENTIRELY alien to your mouth
( or typing fingers ) ?

What HAPPENED is that we
remained here RECEIVING u when u beseeched us with your supplications
<grovel, grovel>
that we save your asses from the Germans in 2 world wars.
If it were not for US,
YOUR first language woud be GERMAN.

THAT's what HAPPENED. Now u know.

First, I will observe that the name of God, as a proper noun,
is CAPITALIZED. You are the one who implies that he has
a superior understanding of the English language.

Second, it IS a load of hogwash, written by a socialist collectivist.
Federalism, including the division of powers and separation of powers
and the rights of the citizens envision multiple sovereignties
and many different DIVISIONS.

I already ADDRESSED that in an earlier post.

HOW MANY TIMES do u have to be TOLD THE SAME THING ?

Again with the mindless hysteria, some of which I have
ALREADY explained.

I will not dispute u on that.

The contras were by any definition terrorists: thats when Americans were content just to mess up South America---not the world.
Your use of font changes makes you seem unbalanced.
But not as much as your words.

If a monotheistic male deity actually existed, and if he had a name, it would not be "God". "God" is the hypothetical deity's job description, not a proper noun.

In fact the defeat of Germany in the second world war was probably down to the glorious red army.
America only joined the first world war in 1917, when it was largely over.
America joined the second world war because of pearl harbour. Britain and its brave allies, the Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and Indians and Pakistanis, Were fighting fascism from 1939. the Americans joined in 1941. You get what you consider history from Hollywood.
In fact America showed the kind of disgusting corrupt state it is by overcharging Britain for the munitions.
I think we agree on quite a lot really. You believe Americans are too selfish and short sighted to elect a proper government. I thought It was cause they were too stupid. But we both agree on one thing America Sucks as a nation.

@MontereyJack,

I take it that is your only issue with my post then? Apart from your presumption of gender of aforementioned omnipresence, I agree with your post. However it was I assure you it was a typographical error.
God has to exist. If he didn't it would take a whole bunch of really dumb people to put "In god we trust " on their currency. Imagine that!!!

Whoa...it looks like an argument is going on here. Can I join?

Can I? Huh? Can I?

C'mon, say somthin' to me so I can make a rapier like response.

C’mon!

(Not you, Spendius! Lemme be back for a while before you lob one of your verbal grenades toward me.)

The other guy--the one badmouthing Americans is invited!

Ahm an 'merican, hombre. Take yer bess shot!
