Sagebrush posted:once when i was like 19 i was talking with a female family friend about my college exams and i used the term "raped" to mean "was defeated by/did poorly at", in the manner i was used to speaking because i was a teenager who hung around mostly with horrible video gamers. the friend was aghast and quite rightly castigated me for using the term in that way. at the time i thought she was just a huge bitch but within a few years i grew up and i am glad i no longer speak like that. you don't use language like that because you're trying to fit in with assholes -- you do it because you are ignorant and you don't see anything wrong with it. i am extremely grateful for everyone who called younger-me out on this bullshit.

fishmech posted:yea remember that "large state" at the time meant "has a ton of slaves" more often than not (Virginia, the Carolinas, etc) , while "small state" tended to mean states with fewer slaves (new jersey, Rhode Island, New Hampshire etc). the three largest colonies were virginia, pennsylvania, and massachusetts, two of which forbade slavery. rhode island, new jersey, and new hampshire were all slave states at the time the three fifths compromise and related matters were a desperate attempt to make underdeveloped slave powers like VA equal to PA or MA in the new government most of the colonies permitted slavery, but new england, new york, and PA were much further developed than the south, even in the late 18th century Notorious b.s.d. fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Feb 28, 2018 |

what the gently caress are you talking about in 1776 there was virginia, then a huge loving gap, then everything else. maryland and north carolina were like 15% smaller than pennsylvania and massachusetts. virginia was almost the size of pennsylvania and massachusetts combined i mean if you went all the way to georgia then sure, that was barely settled by europeans. it was also a new colony and still very much on the frontier, with a large native population until jackson’s genocide now by the time of the civil war this had all pretty much changed, there was a huge population explosion in the north. but that was definitely a new thing, mostly post-revolutionary

virginia was the biggest colony even if you didn’t count its slave population. but yes, its industry was mostly based around tobacco and slaves

i mean i assume hillary clinton was a perfectly good lawyer back in the day, she's just a terrible politician in basically every way, except maybe crafting policy in a vacuum donald trump is absolute poo poo at most things in his life, including the kind of politics that would let him get anything done, i.e. building trusting relationships with his peers, but the reason he always seems to fail upwards is that he has a con-man's intuition for telling people what they want to hear

Notorious b.s.d. posted:3/5ths was the compromise against slaves counting as zero persons no, it was also the compromise against the slaves counting as whole persons for everything, as the more-slave states had demanded. the fewer-slave states varied in opinion from "no counting" to various systems of pro-rating - iirc one delegate to the constiutional convention had even proposed that anyone unable to vote for reasons like being a woman or a child should also be discounted from any population-based apportionment due to the vast amount of slaves in the country, it was unlikely that not counting them at all would ever have been agreed to rjmccall posted:also note that this table splits kentucky out as its own state, which at the time of drafting it was not oh yeah thats a goofer there, fixed
