Don't you need to have a competency hearing before you assign guilt?
Only if I am interested in why a crime was committed. And I really can't call it a 'crime' per se. It really is just people acting naturally. They taste raw meat, and there's no going back to Kibbles 'n Bits. Anyway, the whole idea of majority rule is much closer to the brick wall than it appears.
My favorite Churchill quote is, "The best argument against democracy is a five minute discussion with the average voter"
What can I say? The owner overextended himself and created a bad situation. I do not sympathize. I can only be grateful that we are the dominant species at the moment.
I'll accept that. Then I shall watch the choices he makes and how they relate to the money he took. Either way, don't blame the one offering, just call him a corrupt snake in the grass. You don't have to vote for his puppet. And yes, the listener is responsible for his actions, not the speaker. The taker is of the money is responsible. The voter is responsible for the politician he reelects. It is the voter that is under the influence of the campaign money. They are starstruck by bling and comforting lies. That is not the money's fault. Always look at the desire, not the object.
Let penalize the voters for electing corrupt legislators... I mean, if we want to take it to its logical limit. But we have to admit, the voters are responsible, especially when these people are reelected.
That's bullshit. The guy that takes the money is the bum to vote out. I don't care who offers it to him. If he takes the money, he's the problem. We are looking at this totally backwards. Citizens United went the proper direction.
Nothing the old rubber stamp can't fix, and it certainly does not address the problem I posted above. A damn warrant makes no difference to me. To force me to aid and abet my own prosecution in any fashion at all is just so patently absurd.
That I have already accepted. My question, albeit rhetorical actually, is why do we take it this direction? The problem is when you're outnumbered, there are no checks against voter antipathy.
The people who passed those laws should be locked up for civil rights violations. Why in the world are we letting big business write our laws? What is the point of voting if this is the way things are always going to work?
You can't sell and trade notes that have been paid off, they have no value, outside some Hollywood auction house. No, you have to make it bigger! And you keep selling it until the first guy balks, then the state pays off that note with a new one, and tells us we must make 'sacrifices' because there is no money. 'Debt' is pure profit, babe. I thought everybody understood that after 2008
You needn't be modded down for that. It's almost true. Sometimes it's much cheaper to have Office Depot do it for you (if it's close enough to walk there in five minutes), especially if you have an inkjet.
Oh please! What the hell is a 'natural' ally?? ISIS is an American/Saudi creation, arising out of the 'moderate' rebels in whatever country the US is 'liberating' at the moment.
As an aside, I wonder why the EU is hesitant to consider admitting Turkey? Or why the United States insists on advocating in favor of such a course of action.
I know it sounds crazy, but maybe it could be something about Russia? All our great empires hold strategic alliances that appear odd from a certain point of view, but this is their game.

Sorry, I fail to see a problem here, could you elaborate please?

For some people, yes!
Why aren't they using owls?
I can verify that! Well, actually it was the school lunchroom, but then nowadays school isn't that much different, is it?
Amongst us humans pragmatism is seen as a virtue, so I can feel your pain.
I just posted this somewhere else, and I figure it sounded so nice I'd post it twice:
Be very grateful we are the dominant species on this planet.

Fascism does not come from government. It comes from us. It is a peoples movement. A government does what is demanded of it, or it ceases to exist.

No, really it would be good enough to not reelect them. Otherwise, we need to lock the voters up for electing them in the first place.

Here's one... Maybe another.. But then, my definition of 'great' might differ from yours. Everybody here is just counting the money.

1929?... Oy! just like everything else, turtles!

Not true! I can't think of a safer place to keep my 15gb of [*cough*] cat pictures and movies...

Yes, we can all write 'letters to the editor', can't we?

There are many sources of information. Believe the ones that make you feel most comfortable.
