You guys really should improve your schools.
We would but that'd cost money that nobody wants to spend because it'd make them look bad because debt.

I see, and as long as everyone is too dumb to know how bad the schools are... it isn't a problem. Of course!

Now you're thinking with portals like one of our politicians.

There is good reason the ameripolitics thread is OF DOOM. Any other suffix would be insulted by the politics it had to describe. :)

I just heard one of the dumbest things I ever heard... so much so I can't believe someone actually said it... ON THE NEWS!

Dear goodness the gun debates in the US are lined with idiocy. "Ohh if the Jews or Africans who were brought to America had guns then the Holocaust and slavery would have never happened"

That's particularly ironic, since the Second Amendment was written for the benefit of the southern states' militias a.k.a. the slave patrols.

...You sure? The Constitution was written before slavery even became an issue in general politics. As in nearly a hundred years before. I thought the second amendment was written primarily to justify what the Independence movement was trying to accomplish: i.e, forming a militia to prevent hostile takeovers by the ruling government.

Twas not that either. *points to the Whiskey Rebellion*

Though I can't quite remember what the actual reason was though. I learned it a couple months ago...

Wait, Neonivek, have you actually heard someone say, "If the Jews who were brought to America had had guns then the Holocaust would never have happened."?

Because that might be one of the top five stupidest things I've ever heard, for so many reasons.

Slavery was over 100 years after the constitution was written (Constitution-1787; 13th amendment- 1865). I'm sure there were other reasons the states wanted to independently control and organize armies, but there was definitely concern that Congress, which in Article I is given the power to regulate the military, would fail to put down slave rebellions.

Anyway, this isn't the politics thread. I'll go look for something suitably wtf-y.

Uhm. Except, no. The "militia" bit is in there because the American forces were entirely composed of local militia forces; they were the closest thing the government (such that it was; it was closer to a large group of local and regional committees before and during the Revolutionary War) had to a standing army. They were never intended to guard against legitimate U.S. government, but against the British and their decidedly foreign armies.  If you want the modern equivalent of those militias, look to the U.S. military, not to the groups of "shooting enthusiasts", secessionists, and paranoid nutjobs that hole up in rural states waiting for the gubbment to come pry their assault rifles from their cold, dead hands.

You see!

The statement is so stupid that it throws off the gravity of the solar system and starts pointless conversations.

I really have to ask, was it actually that set of points? As in, [Jews] brought to [America/the U.S./the Americas], at some point after which the [Holocaust] occurred [in America]?

No, because you got that by quoting me incorrectly.
