It was better back in the day???

I was using it just as an example in regards to QED's post.

What in gods name are you blathering on about?

Let me rephrase what I probably should have said in my above post: "For example, say that I decry the modern state of politics...." or "If I decry the modern state of politics...."

The point was simply to point out that making no statements is essentially making a statement at the same time.

There may be no difference-- except there currently is no rule against NOT posting a political thread on ATOT. There is, however, a rule against posting a political thread (such as this) on ATOT.

Your opinion is noble and valiant-- but it belongs in P&N with all of the other worthless posts.

But how do I move my post into P&N?

Yup yup. So I guess just don't worry about it? Things will be the same no matter whether I choose to get involved or not?

I'm not criticizing you or anything, just asking if this is how you lead your life.

No - what I'm saying is that constituants will always call politicians, and politics corrupt - especially if they don't support their interests.

Why can't we get good politicians who do the right thing? Everytime I go into P&N it's corruption this, corruption that, war this, war that, thousands die...

Why can't we just stop all this fighting and divert defense resources into R&D, like renewable resources (no longer tied to icky oil), stem cell research (benefits for those actually alive and conscious), education (the foundation of EVERYTHING), and others that don't involve sending 5.56mm rounds into each other? Let the Middle East murder themselves. They reap what they sow.

Lowering the deficit and the over debt would be good too.

I just feel like our "representatives" can't be really punished for anything, short of outright scandal or something. They have no obligation to deliver like businesses do. There are no quality standards.

All these politics is pushing me to either:

1. Get involved, but probably won't do any good
2. Completely detach myself from society. Let others wage war. Let other destroy the environment. Let others ruin other people's lives. As long as I'm not a part of it I'm ok. Just me, the here and now, go with the flow.

1. Divert defense resources to R&D for renewable resources? a) the fact that you want to spend less on defense makes you a global politics noob. b) realistically, any money spent on R&D for renewable energy is money down the drain.

2. Stem cell research? a) there is no ban on stem cell research. b) the government has decided not to FUND embryonic stem cell research. Billionaires and Corporations are free to do all the baby killing they want. Noob.

3. Education? Do you realize how much money we spend on education?

4. Let the Middle East murder THEMSELVES? They're the ones that want to kills US because we're not muslim.

Most voters are smarter than you.

As opposed to spending money on NON-renewable resources? As in resources that will be used up? Eventually we're going to have to default to some kind of renewable resource. It's just a matter of when.

2. Stem cell research? a) there is no ban on stem cell research. b) the government has decided not to FUND embryonic stem cell research. Billionaires and Corporations are free to do all the baby killing they want. Noob.

I guess that's good.

3. Education? Do you realize how much money we spend on education?

Not really. But the results aren't that great. So I guess we should do something different.

4. Let the Middle East murder THEMSELVES? They're the ones that want to kills US because we're not muslim.

Yup, they want to kill us because we have nothing to do with their lives. The whole Israel/Palestine conflict is because of us, not because of some centuries old feud. The rest of the middle east is just angry at everyone and wants to blow stuff up.

Most voters are smarter than you.

Well I certainly hope so.

<3 JS80!!!
