    "The Problem of Whiteness" College Course at U. of Wisconsin causes Controversy

    I'm sure you can withhold the 75 cents of your taxes that goes toward this course without receiving major consequences.

    Do we still need the Electoral College in a literal sense?

    Those are instances where the opposite groups votes got thrown away. No, I toss it around when it is appropriate. No it doesn't. Exactly. Nobody in the US has a right to vote for president. Ergo, they are all disenfrachised (except those lucky few hyper-partisans chosen to be electors)...

    California To Secede From The Union? OK!

    I'm not kidding you, I think that is the very first thread I ever posted in here at DP. If it's not the very first, it's in the top five. Literally one of the first debates I ever got into here was me voicing my opposition to the EC. Although I do have to admit, my opinion of people being...

    Do we still need the Electoral College in a literal sense?

    Yes. The EC is a problem regardless of the results of any individual election. It maximizes disenfranchisement. Conservative voters in Illinois and California have no voice, liberal voters in Texas and Georgia have no voice. Their "votes" are meaningless gestures and they will continue to be so...

    Are they making the class mandatory?

    Time to replace the outdated ten commandments ?

    We could go with just one: Don't be a ****ing asshole. It covers everything. What kind of person doesn't learn something every day? A ****ing asshole, that's who. what kind of person steals? A ****ing asshole, that's who. You can do it for pretty much every things that needs commanding.

    California To Secede From The Union? OK!

    I said the same thing I would have said if Romney or McCain had won: you're wrong. He's not going to send the country into the shutter. I didn't vote for Obama. This election marks the first time in my life I voted for a major party candidate. Ever. I voted third party in 1996, 2000, 2004...

    California To Secede From The Union? OK!

    :prof California didn't exists in 1787, thus your statement cannot possibly be true. The electoral college exists because the founders didn't trust direct democracy, plain and simple. The method of determining the number of electors that each state gets was put in place to maintain the...

    Why we have an electoral college [W:196]

    The problem with "by district" is the gerrymandering issue. The entire system has been corrupted. If we're going to have an electoral college, we should dispense with the facade of direct democracy in voting for the president altogether. Instead, electors should be voted on a year in advance of...

    California To Secede From The Union? OK!

    His cabinet choices prove that he does not know this. This is the stupid **** that pisses me off. I firmly believe that this dumb **** is going to send this country into the ****ter. That he's going to bankrupt it and run away like a bitch leaving his "investors" holding the bag, like he does...

    Why we have an electoral college [W:196]

    :prof just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Are you having hallucinations? I didn't say anything about planned parenthood. It was intended to work that way, but it had a design flaw that has prevented it from working that way. All of the electors are...

    California To Secede From The Union? OK!

    No, Clinton lost the election because she didn't pander to idiots. I preferred Sanders, and I think he would have won, but he also failed to resonate enough with southern minorities to win the primaries. It works both ways. You can't attack clinton for failing to resonate with the idiots...

    California To Secede From The Union? OK!

    In the sense that the outcome I want is to minimize disenfranchisement (maximizing the amount of votes that actually matter), yes. If, by outcome, you mean in a specific election, then no.

    Are you sure there is no God ? [W: 352]

    We aren't getting less stupid, we're just all starting further down the line as far as information goes. That's why we're doomed. We haven't gotten any brighter as a species, but we have become much more powerful.
