I'd partially agree with the bigots part. It was the Democrats who fought tooth and nail against integration during the 50s. I'm sure the GP didn't mean to imply that the current Democrat party is full of bigots. Things change. The Democrats used to be big fans of slavery back in the 1840s, but even the racist Democrats of the 1940s were against the idea, at least most of them.
Even in those old days when the idiots lined up in a line to shoot at each other, civilians died. Civilians would stand on the sidelines and watch, and a stray musket round would kill them, and don't forget that the soldiers back in those days didn't spend time on a military base, they just picked out a farm house with a hot looking daughter and spent the night there for free.
Don't be silly. Everybody who's a member of that organization is all skin and bones with no muscle at all. They need to eat some protein first, then they might be tasty looking.
Everybody in the House has a term of 2 years. While each senator has a six year term, the senate itself is stacked in such a way that only 1/3 of it could potentially change every 2 years.
I'm sure the Allied forces had some influence on that, but not all of it. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the unification of Germany, there isn't any reason for Germany to maintain a ban on Nazi stuff, or even maintaining the ban on the party itself. Japan probably has more American troops staying there than several U.S. states combined. Germany was also under occupation by the French, British, and the Soviets, but Japan was only occupied by the United States. Hell, the USSR didn't actually declare war until Little Boy destroyed Hiroshima. I'm sure Germany's constitution is much more flexible than Japan's. Japan hasn't modified theirs since it was created.
It seems like you're skipping over a step. What about the model that was in existence back in the late 30s? I thought Hitler was elected as Chancellor, not President. And what about the reunification of Germany after the fall of the Soviet Union? Does all of Germany use the same sort of system that West Germany used, or is it closer to the system that Hitler scammed?
Actually, the United States does NOT directly elect the President. The state legislatures elect electors who go to Washington, and they cast votes there. The states are free to choose any method they wish for picking the electors. Most states do a winner-take-all system, and the person who has the most votes from the people gets all of that state's electoral votes. The US Constitution is agnostic to the existence of political parties. They're not a requirement for the election process. The First Amendment would probably make outlawing them illegal, but our first president wasn't a member of any political party.
The correct response is: I want no outlawing of ANY speech. Don't compromise on your rights, otherwise your children will find themselves compromising on the shit that you wouldn't compromise on.
The First Amendment was just the first one to be ratified by the states. I believe in the list that was submitted, it contained twelve proposed amendments. Ten are the ones we know today, one was recently ratified back in the 90's about Congressional pay raises. I believe the current second amendment was actually the first in that list.
George Bush and Michelle Obama are BOTH apes. Not only do they appear to be apes in pictures, but they appear to be apes in person, because that's what they are.
Wait, what? What has she achieved in her life? She was able to marry a guy who would become president? That's not an achievement, that's just a lucky pick of a spouse.
My university offers an elective database course, but it's not required to graduate if you're a CS major. We're also one of a handful of universities in my state which has its CS course certified by ABET.
I'd be interested to know how many atheists in the U.S. were former believers. I'll bet most atheists used to believe in a deity at some point in their life.
A secular society is a society which respects everybody's religion, without showing preferential treatment to any singular religion.
The United States Constitution sets up a secular country, but it doesn't actively prohibit the private expression of religion, or even the public expression so long as it's not being officially endorsed by the government.
An atheist country, like the Soviet Union, makes atheism the de jure state belief. Much like being a practicing Catholic or Jew in Saudi Arabia, it's illegal to be a non-atheist in an atheist state.

I'm so glad that nutty terrorists don't have any critical thinking ability. If they were half as talented as you, we might actually be in trouble.
Hiroshima yes. Nagasaki no. Nagasaki was actually the secondary target for fat man, the primary target was too cloudy.

"FTFY" is not in my dictionary.
PETA's idea of "cruelty" is pretty wide. They consider ANYBODY who owns a pet to be committing animal cruelty.

We value our children much more highly.
I don't think that's true.
We're more VOCAL about it now, but do you honestly mean to say people of this generation value their children more than their parents value them?
That's absurd. We have more laws, but the crazy laws like this don't protect children, and they never have.

The FCC isn't able to regulate cable for content like they can for radio or broadcast TV.

Drugs have been made illegal, which has caused a black market to crop up, empowering the suppliers of that black market.
Imagine what would happen if the KKK wasn't allowed to have parades. They'd probably go back to forming lynch mobs, or burning crosses in front yards.

That very observation was the evidence used to show that neutrinos were not traveling at the speed of light, and thus, they have mass.
They were only offering 2012 dollars for the mortgage. I seriously doubt anybody who lives in a home has a home worth less than that.

Since brain size is an adequate indicator of intelligence, just compare your average dolphin brain to your average ape brain.
They're similar in size, but the dolphin brain has a hell of a lot more insulation cells.
