Just because of the absurdity of the hypothesis.

So people should not be encouraged to break laws that infringe upon their rights so as to enable those laws to be challenged in court? That would be news to Homer Plessy, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, etc.

The issus is than an Attorney-General does it.

If the Attorney General of Mississippi in 1850 encouraged people to help slaves escape to the north, would you oppose it?

How is this any different than when Democrats vote strategically in Republican primaries?

It's absurd because Booker is far more electable than Lautenberg.

This.

Urban - Democratic
Suburban - Swing
Rural - Republican

That is why I find US politics so interesting, America is a suburban country, whoever wins the suburbs wins the election.

Take Colorado for example, if you win Jefferson and Arapahoe counties you win the state.
Yeah but suburban usually equals Democrat outside the South, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Orange County, CA.  The reason, in two words: social issues.

This guy's a real piece of work:

he pointed out, there are many biases to Labour in the current set-up; not only unequal constituency sizes but also differential turnout and the differing size of majorities (that is to say, 'efficiency'). Which was all very true, but no distraction from the fact that if any of those biases could be ironed out by legislation, they should be ironed out.

Actually, much of it could be ironed out with PR. But your party only wishes to remove the biases that don't work in your favour.

Per contra. My party wishes to iron out biases against us, but not actually allow the Great 'Progressive' Middle-Class Leftist Coalition Masturbatathon to impose "lock out the Tories out forever" as a supposedly noble aim of the whole bloody electoral system. Put at its bluntest, if the Tories win more votes than anyone else, the Tories should form the Government.

PR doesn't allow that. In this country, with our electoral system (and let's not pretend all our century-old established parties would just split up at PR), it means hung Parliaments forever with Liberals commanding the central kingmaker position. (And just look how marvellously well that's working out). In this country, PR would not be fair. It may mean seats are allocated in proportion with electoral results - a superficial degree of 'fairness' that might fool a moron - but power would be locked in with the left. Fair? Give over. It's a bloody entrenchment of bias.

I wouldn't consider what this community intends to practice as libertarianism. It's more like anti-state authoritarianism.

I was talking about the return to serfdom in the guise of liberty, not this commune (lol) itself.

More important than that, though, March 1 is the eve of my son's 9th birthday.  Felix will be 9 years old on March 2.  (14:00 3/1/2013 in Utah).

Very simple if we don't breed we die as a species. Family lines have died out because of illness, early death, choice to not breed but our very existance is seriously under threat with society accepting and promoting homosexuality ahead of hetrosexuality.

In workplaces, gay people are viewed favourably by managements as they have no outside pressures and don't demand holiday/time off/sick pay with hetrosexuals having children.

Sales, marketing companies continue to promote products and services to a gay audience as they have large disposable incomes as they have very little outgoings compared to familes.

If your young be gay as you will have tons of money.

Our society is rapidly changing, homosexuality is increasing dramatically with men and childbirth is decreasing in developed countires. Only minorities due to large immigrations are distorting the figures.

If we continue at the same rate - stats from 2002-2012, by 2035 more than 50% of the male popualtion in america will be gay.

that can't sustain a population.

Allegedly Richard Nixon was pro choice in order to rid the country of mixed race babies like Barack Obama.

There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white. Or a rape.

That statement hardly earns him the label "pro-choice." Instead, he's making a point similar to the position of most "pro lifers." It's only acceptable under extreme circumstances. That Nixon and today's pro-lifers disagree on what constitutes an extreme circumstance matters very little as to whether or not how you could anachronistically label him.

$6500 per child on transit? I'm not at all versed in local NYC politics, but I'm tempted to call shenanigans. Somebody on the right has done some creative accounting. And NYC is one of the few US cities with decent public transit options, so I'm not sure what those comments are about. But you can't blame bus drivers for wanting some job security. Who wants to lose their job?

You aren't at all versed in much of anything.

Since you are so ignorant I'll just tell you that that number comes from these leftist fiends at the New York Times

Or, alternatively, from leftist Michael Bloomberg

Vermont.  I went to Washington, Montpelier, Chelsea, and Burlington VT on a mission trip 10 years ago during Spring Break.  I have great fondness of Vermont, especially the Christians that live up there.  The Christians that live in Vermont are some of the most dedicated and devoted people I've ever met in a culture seemingly dominated by witchcraft.

You're obsession with J.J. and krazen is creepy.......please stop

The point is that jamespol is a clever poster who has provided the forum with tons of hilarity and amusement in the past (not necessarily with his current incarnation mind you), while those two are nothing but complete hackish wastes of bandwidth.

He's probably aware at this point that he should not have done that. So, no.

If he's that dirty, a shower is in order.
