So, do you think the 2nd Amendment would have been written any differently had the writers had access to the weaponry of the 21st century? Of course they would.
No I don't think it would have - its also quite pompous of you to assume our founders were too stupid to think technology wouldn't improve. I'm sure they were fully aware that things would change.
I don't know how you twist my comment regarding trust as an insult ...
LOL - seriously? You implied I was not a trust worthy person because I supposedly don't trust anyone, simple character assassination. Now you play coy.
.. you simply have a syndical view of everything associated with government.
And how is that any different than your cynical view of everything associated with the Republicans/conservative, oh I know- I include the government as a whole while you think it's only the Republicans, I see the difference. Look at what the government is doing
and getting away with - of course I'm cynical!!! You should be too.
If you recall in the Politics-Politics-Politics thread over a year ago I got really upset about NC voter tampering/suppression and you conservatives seemed to have no issues with it. Now its come to light and you're finding out that even a foreign country can come in and tamper with our voting system. One of the big reasons why blacks refuse to turn out to vote is because of the issues TO VOTE .... gerrymandering, calling ID fraud by the thousands, etc etc .... yet you folks had no issues with THAT EITHER. KARMA my man ... its come around to bite you. By the way, 3 times federal judges have instructed the Republican general assembly to put the voting districts BACK to before their major gerrymandered current state, and 3 times the state assembly have ignored the judges ... 3 times. Its got to stop ... it really does.
Yep I remember - and if
you recall, I
agreed, there shouldn't be voting districts, it is just stupid. But I don't see how that is karma on me ???? WTF? I didn't set up the districts. My state got rid of districts, I can now vote where ever I might be. You also seemed to think illegals voting was no problem, maybe Karma on you ??? I think your reason for blacks not voting is piss-poor. They won't vote because it is too difficult? LOL give me a brake, so in your eyes Blacks are lazy or just don't care which is it? Oh i forgot, Blacks are unable to accomplish anything without the aid of the Democrat, is that right? By the way, there is always early voting and absentee voting. NC now allows no-excuse early voting and no ID required so tell your friends to vote twice - oh, but no one would do that ... right?
Hows that for a cynical attitude?
Fact is
Mac, I have
agreed with you on several points, including some gun laws, but you refuse to acknowledge
that and would rather continue to argue simply because I am more conservative when it comes to financial issues. You've become too polarized to carry on a political discussion. That is why you "refuse to go back and forth" (and yet you still respond). It's not always about changing ones mind - it's also about coming to a respectful understanding. You see, even though your a liberal, I still respect you as a person. I really doubt you could say the same.
