birdog1960 Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 was at a civic club meeting this morning and we were reminded that only a short time ago, women earned the right to vote on a close senatorial vote over this issue on 6/4/1920. http://womenshistory.about.com/od/suffrage1900/a/august_26_wed.htm .virginia approved the right in 1952. amazing and sad.

birdog1960 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 You own a Honda Civic? "civic": relating to community; connected with the duties and obligations of belonging to a community. same root as "civilized". wouldn't expect it to be high on the liberterian vocabulary list.
Chef Jim Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 And the country has gone to hell in a handbasket ever since. Coincidence? I think not.
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 And the country has gone to hell in a handbasket ever since. Coincidence? I think not. Since 1920 things have gotten worse?

Great sense of humor you got there doc. I'm a Libertarian now? Edited June 4, 2014 by meazza
TakeYouToTasker Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Under the Constitution, men have only had the "right to vote" for 144 years, and the privilege of voting for 225 years, so in the grand scheme of Anglo-Saxon/European history, I'd say women aren't doing all that bad.

Civilized as in civil, as in civl war, as in whats so civil about war anyway, as in Guns N'Roses, as in Chinese Democracy, as in it will be at least 10 years before you get the joke.
birdog1960 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Great sense of humor you got there doc. I'm a Libertarian now? i do. it's just different from yours.

3rdnlng Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Great sense of humor you got there doc. I'm a Libertarian now? Teabagger is wearing out. Libertarian is the left's newest handle for you anarchists.
TakeYouToTasker Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 i do. it's just different from yours. Humor: the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement Humorous: funny: intended to be amusing and make people laugh Wouldn't expect it to be high on the pretentious dickhead vocabulary list.

Yes, our country is totally awesome! No argument there!
Chef Jim Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Since 1920 things have gotten worse? Well it did take a while for the word to get out that they could vote and then longer to figure out how to do it.
birdog1960 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 I don't know. I think I'm pretty hilarious. know what i think is funny? a play from 400bc that relies on a single visual gag of tunic bulges. i like monty python too.
