    Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

    Why oh why can't we line politicians up against the wall?
    It is now punishable by 7 years in jail in NSW Australia if you protest in a way that 'May cause disruption to commercial or economic interests'
    And people wonder why I can't trust the law to get anything right

      Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

      In countries with democratic elections, why do people insist on blaming politicoes for screw-ups, instead of looking in the mirror and facing the reality that the politicoes were elected by a majority vote?
      Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

        "We can't let transgender people use the bathroom their gender identity matches, because someone somewhere might use it to molest children". I was trying to come up with a witty response to this, but I really just want to punch this idiot in the liver.

          Actually in the us it has been shown time and again that "Apathy" is the winner of your democracy At least here we force people to vote.

            Yup. It is the people's choice. They can do better, but they choose not to. It is still the decision they have made.

              The USA is not, and never has been a democracy. The government we have is called a constitutional republic. Here in the USA we have rights that are protected from the majority vote. The only thing that is democratic is the vote and even it is controlled by the electorial college and not the popular vote.

                The electoral vote only determines the Presidency.

                  Yes, and the constitution also guarantees a republican form of government for all the states.

                    Low blood sugar just kicked in WHILE I'm eating. What the hell am I supposed to do? I can't eat faster! Trying to shovel in this watermelon like it's Wolverine testicles I tell you what.

                      I honestly don't know much about this, but I keep seeing the TV ads for new diabeties treatments.

                      Are any of them useful?

                        Thus far I can't take those because of the bad heart and heart meds. Problem is working an 8 hour shift and riding to and from work on my bike means I'm controlling my sugar. I mean it's a good thing. But then I'm here doing nothing. Watching tv on my laptop. Munching on watermelon and I just can't even hold the slice. It's slowly going away. The problem is you feel like you are dying and you panic and then want to cram everything in your mouth. I've learned to just relax and let the shakes happen. Then they go away once the sugar kicks in.

                        it just feels crappy.

                          I understand. My friend's father is diabetic, as well as my uncle, and I 've had to run out and get juice for 'em and such.
