I read "Roots", I know what you guys did to 'build' your "nation', if it can be called that. lol you went to war over a barren rock with a third world nation and almost lost just lol

If anyone knows any I missed let me know and I'll add it so our COMPLETELY off topic conversations don't keep people from reading about the book.

The Human Crouton posted:Nope. Spain is still the all time dick champion. Less than 10% of the slave trade went to the British colonies because the slaves could actually survive to birth further generations. that and the africans had immunity to European diseases. the natives didn't. so they were killed by the labor/killings and mostly disease that would wipeout entire villages.

Pawn 17 posted:Does your government even allow you to use the internet? Are you on an illegal connection right now? I was unaware that using TOR was illegal. After all, it was invented by YOUR navy so it conduct covert operations in YOUR name. Also no, my government is a weird nanny-state leaning to the right, which is the worst way for a nanny state to lean. So many websites are prohibited but this one is fine, which probably means it's monitered. You know I illegally downloaded a music album the other day, and it took a full 30 seconds longer to start the download. Thanks to my government. That's 30 seconds I'll never get back. I had to start TOR and paste the url in to Bittorrent it was just so tedious.

But then the anti-trump people go on about stolen elections (she knew that racking up the score in california/NY would not win an election) and "HILLARY WAS THE PERFECT CANDIDATE" and "YAS QUEEN" and "kill all white people they stole the election from Hillary" and most sane individuals have to bring them crashing back down to reality because it's really annoying.

Let's abolish the electoral college for real this time, because its existence is inconvenient to my candidate this particular election.

Reform it at the very least because for all the "wahh wahh wee wahh the electoral college protects us good ol' wholesome muricans from the evil clutches of new york and california" in its current state it over-represents the poo poo out of klan country and other, lesser forms of rubes and hayseeds. It also keeps dipshit republicans in blue states, and moron democrats in red states from even bothering to vote because "I'll never get my way abloo bloo bloo"and guess what? There's more republicans here in Chicagoland than there ever were in Wyoming (because there's more people here in general than there ever were there) and most of them don't even fuckin' bother.

gently caress voting it's so disappointing without fail. Give the people what they want: gladiator battles. Hell we could even preserve precious democracy by letting democrats and republicans vote on each candidate's champion. Call it the Electoral Arena

The electoral college doesn't even make the top 10 list of Problems in U.S Politics though. The Presidency could be decided by coin toss between two baby-boomers carefully selected for the greatest mix of stupidity, arrogance, and likelihood to develop Alzheimer's and it still wouldn't be a major issue because the Presidency isn't that important.

I actually don't think we should eliminate it but I don't vote so it makes zero difference to me either way.

The fact that the presidency isn't important is an even better reason to do away with it. Every other stupid dipshit serving in the elected positions of the federal government are decided purely by popular vote so who gives a poo poo.
