Quote: "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Fucking Idiot.

That’s not specifically why it was added to the constitution though.
But, I could care less. You can feel free to bitch about the government and politics all you want, but no one gives a shit. You’re not going to bother to change anything about it, and since you aren’t going to vote and just sit on your ass and cry, you can feel free to sit here and think that your knowledge is power by trying to feel superior looking up quotes of what past historical figures have said. Good luck!

Quote: Yet Obama wants to quit out-sourcing all of our jobs overseas and bring them back here so that un-employed Americans can have a steady working jobs while reducing the un-employment rate somewhat and improving the economy?
Sorry Doopliss, but anyone with even a basic Economics education knows that outsourcing is actually good for our economy. It allows nations to specialize (look up “Comparative advantage”) in goods that they can make efficiently, shifting the nation’s production possibilities curve to the right, in effect raising the GDP significantly. In addition, specialization dramatically increases a nation’s exports, which, in the equation Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports = GDP also raises GDP. A higher GDP means a higher standard of living. Outsourcing jobs is actually good because it means lower product prices for everyone (especially domestic producers). Why would you pay $20 for an American t-shirt when you could pay $10 for the exact same thing made in China? Outsourcing saves Americans money, which they can later use to benefit the American economy.
Yet, all politicians say that outsourcing is bad because it makes them seem patriotic. You said you’ve done your research on the candidates—so why does it surprise you that they say things like this?
Quote: You’re officially dumb as fuck. The main reason for the right to bear arms for everyone was because people wanted to protect their families and homes and have a defense against the assembled Militia of the time since they were granted the right to bear arms when they served up for military service.
Nope, wrong again, Doop. Even Jefferson said a little rebellion was good every now and then. In a letter to James Madison, he wrote that “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical world.” Jefferson wanted people to have the right to overthrow a government which they felt was ineffectual. Once again, do your research before calling people “dumb as fuck.”
Quote: McCain isN’T EVEN ON THE Map right now. The two main ones are Hilary and Obama.
Either way, you-re getting a crappy president.
You’re an idiot. If you knew anything about politics, you’d know the reason that McCain isn’t on the map is because HE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE. He’s effectively won the Republican primary—he doesn’t need to do anything more until campaign time. Right now, the Democratic nominees are tearing each other apart while McCain sits back and watches the Democratic Party crumble. Democratic in-fighting is weakening the party, and McCain is loving it.
Quote: Nothing is wrong with America at the moment, really.
Amen, Bungle

I have done my research on the candidates. I’m sorry I’m only a Junior and I don’t take Economics until next year. My bad, I guess? I just don’t see why I’m supposedly the bad guy here when I’m actually trying to pay attention to all of the candidates, but yet this child feels the ened to explain what’s wrong with all of politics through what he would like to refer to as a "debate" but most of the other members see as his whining session.

I do recall that’s what Jefferson said at one point in time, but if you were read my post, I was stating that that’s not the main reason as to why they felt it necessary to put it into the constitution. Also, that could be debatable that it wasn’t said just by Jefferson, considering that the constitution was being written by everybody as a whole to prevent future governments becoming corrupt and being led by tyrrants. I know that it goes much further beyond that, which is what "theoriginal" fails to realize.
By the way, even though I feel like you were attacking/criticizing or whatever you want to views it as, I was wondering where you’ve been, and I’m glad to see that your back, even if only for a little while.

Well, it IS a debate forum...
No, but seriously, that actually does mean a lot. Intelligent members like you were always the reason that I decided to give RE chance after chance to actually become a decent site free from stupidity and other such retardedness.
But finally I decided this site was wasting too much of my time and decided to leave for a while. I’m glad that, upon my return, intelligent members like you are still here. You were always one of my favorite members because you always have something to add to the topic and didn’t participate in such bullshit like "OnE werd post+1!!!".
Honestly, I didn’t think anyone noticed my departure. I wasn’t planning on staying long, but who knows? I may stick around for a while.

I see where you’re coming from. I always did decide to stay around mainly because no one else chose to do so, and because I figured I’d add some activity during this time before the Summer since I’m only on nights then.
It’d be nice for members to finally come back. That’s all RE really needs in my mind.
