The Political Thread

[Ricky Smarks]

@Poltergeist I'm really sorry I even considered you in the same sentence as these scum .

All water under the bridge, but I appreciate you saying that publicly.

I’m also really happy we talked before this news because I can only imagine trying to write that PM with this added pressure behind the misunderstanding.

Honestly, it wouldn't even really be that hard to pass a law that allows the recently deceased to be used as food. With the person's permission of course, you could even have a mark on their driver's license, like with organ donors.

@Canadian Dragon like I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you. I forgive you and I appreciate you forgiving me in kind.

Along with Lolita

Fun fact this book was banned during the Soviet Union, then was allowed to be read in school post-Soviet Union, and now Russian Orthodox priest want it to be re-banned along with One Hundred Years of Solitude

Nothing should be legalized or be made illegal via the Supreme Court. It doesn't matter if it negatively affects people or not.

Congress is supposed to make laws. If that law is challenged then the Supreme Court decides whether or not that law stands on Constitutional grounds if it makes it to that level.

I don't expect you to understand I guess, but that is the fundamental basis of the American System. Anything that goes against that is not good.

If they made a law or amended the Constitution legalizing gay marriage would I suddenly start supporting it? No. But at least it was done the legal way.

But you had a stance for one - but not for the other. So I just think you are hiding behind a document now.

If you were in favour of something else - would you hoped it was overturned because of "legal issues". I doubt it to be honest.

Stop the cap.

I opened this thread and my reaction was the kid holding the water gif.

Both because of the seriousness of the ruling for my country, but also because of the fallout of this thread for us.

why One Hundred Years of Solitude?

I told you. Religious reasons. And now you are going to say I am hiding behind a book.

Not getting into that discussion but it is my own, deeply held, personal religious beliefs and I refuse to debate whether it is a valid reason or not.

To you, probably not. To me, it is.

@Canadian Dragon and @Poltergeist

Id like to apologize to you and everyone here for my behavior on the forum those few days as well.

Because of the subject of magic, incest, and elitism that are discussed in it.

The US Constitution was also written because the Articles of Confederation, America's original idea of "States Rights is Supreme". This is hilarious because the Confederation was fucking toothless and nearly destroyed America as a nation before it even began.
