truth on hold Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I want them out of my life, please and thank you. And has the existence of the electoral college prevented the expansion? Do you believe either one the major candidates will do anything to change that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 535 dumbasses is better than 1 DCTom Yep. Since dumbasses are bound to do stupid ****, they're better in large groups, since they get in each others' way and accomplish less stupid ****. Just look at the current Congress.

3rdnlng Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm considering suicide bombing, myself. . Norway is giving out 21 year vacations complete with cable tv and internet access in your private suite. They top it off by finding you playmates. You just have to get comfortable with offing some people. Now if we could get Team Pathetic to take a Nordic cruise I might get comfortable with the whole idea.

Na we're better of when the single dumbass has enough power to do some stupid **** with a dumbass congress there to hedge it, as opposed to the single dumbass able to do little with dumbass congress doing nothing....at least when the single dumbass can form an agenda we actual have a government which gives us a chance to pursue some good policy whatever it may be. If we pursue bad policy, then oh well. We had a shot. BTW that's the title: "single dumbass" ...it's perfect Edited September 4, 2012 by TheNewBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we end up bailing out the auto unions or invading Iraq or allowing-gays-to-serve-in-the-military-maybe-but-not-really-if-they're-obviously-gay or blathering some incomprehensible nonsense about "legitimate rape" preventing pregnancy or some other stupid ****. Dumbasses are better gridlocked. Otherwise they get the impression they know what they're doing, and that's just !@#$ing dangerous. Of course, the better solution would be: don't elect dumbasses. But this is America, that's never happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is America, that's never happening. We can't remain gridlocked all the time. The emerging nations are waking up, situating themselves for a strong 21st century. Political paralysis and the inability for our dumbasses to address some issues we have is killing us, and will continue to do so. An influential single dumbass is our best hope to stay strong.

Yes, but aside from their predilection towards also choosing dumbasses to lead them, the emerging nations are in no small part exercising their power through the UN, who are a committee of even bigger dumbasses than ours. So I think it's a non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think it's a non-issue. A lot of them haven't fine tuned the art of elected pure dumbass. No doubt they will eventually. Some of them just have technocrats running the show elections be damned. No doubt all roads of development lead everyone to where we are eventually, dumbass rule. But for now and the next century if we want to stay strong we have to get our act together a bit more this will be be like every other century, one of shifting geopolitical/economic power. Can't sit around gridlocked assuming we're great while everyone else hustles. Also it's unlikely this next century will follow the trend of war doing the shifting (it might but unlikely). It's all about hustling, soft power, and economics. You need leadership to win the 21st century. Not just guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBills Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 why would he praise the Delaware Chiefs for following Jesus? "You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are." http://etext.virgini...sus&id=gw150049 Because besides being a great general, he was a pretty swell politician.

Fan in San Diego Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'd rather have 535 dumbasses who can't even agree on lunch getting in each others' way of ruling the world, than one dumbass unhindered. How did we get from the elimination of the electoral college vote will then create a dictatorship? We didn't eliminate congress and the senate!
