I have mixed feelings on term limits. In effect, we can limit any candidates term right now. We're just choosing not to. Limiting terms is one state meddling with the political options of another. Doesn't seem right. If we as Americans don't like incumbents, quit putting them back in office.

In essence, I also don't like who we've got. I am not sure that term limits are very democratic, though. The ridiculous nature of congress is a DIRECT reflection of the voters.

The problem is the uninformed, ignorant voter that keeps them in power. Most of my friends dont want to talk politics. They hate it. They could care less what most of the candidates stand for, as long as someone tells them whose the most popular. Its like a popularity contest with them.

"Yea, I voted for the winner"

People are stupid. Thats why we need term limits

It also perpetuates voting for those who garner you money. It's essentially pay raises that people have come to vote for.

Good point. Question- how do educate Americans? Many are clueless.

you can't educate people where they don't want to be educated. As long as politicians buy votes and campaign forever (meaning vote buying in perpetuity), people are going to keep casting lots with them.

We're never going to back to an era where personal responsibility is king and we frown upon those unwilling to take personal responsibility.

Bottom line. Both sides of the spectrum need to settle down ab the whole deal. (not the flag) Both sides have good arguments and bad arguments. There are looney, racists right wing extremist, and there are looney, facsist left wing extremist. Neither side is entirely right, nor wrong.

(For the purpose of trying to find a solution, however complex it may be) Ok. So the people don't want to be educated on the subjects. (Not intended as political rhetoric)>>>>What can we do? What can we physically, actually do to help ?

IMO, term limits is a good start.

I'm also for killing large herds of the net negative folks. Build little memorials to tell the world how they sacrificed to make America a better place.

Tony Kornheiser on PTI just waved the Canadian flag, and said good night Canada. I know people on here watch the show. Where's the outrage... Death by poisoning to him, I say. He's celebrating Canada!

Oh, right. I forgot you think a sportscaster can be compared to a public school trying to appeal to it's immigrant students.

No difference. This is the United States of America... we don't tolerate anything other than the american flag.

City parades on St. Patty's Day must really piss you off then? I doubt it.

And you were wrong. So a mayor helping a diplomat raise an Irish flag in Ma. (In the US on a PUBLIC square) isn't the same thing as a school raising a mexican flag? Don't be so stupid. This game is still really fun.
