How come this was never big news? The US had a $16 TRILLION bailout from 2007-2010, not the stated $700 billion or so. For the record, our GDP is only 14 Trillion or so. A lot of this bailout money also went to foreign banks, which is illegal.

well dont have any state boarders then

amongst millions of people, there are going to be groups that have different ideas,

if one group doesnt support smoking pot for example and another group does, how does having a rule covering all the people make the majority of people happy?

would it not be better for one state to legalise it, and all the pot heads can live there and all the people against it can live in peace with out them and even you can say " if you like pot so much, go live in state X"

Dumb Faggot!
you just contradicked your self in the arse

yes you can say if you dont like slavery, go live in another state, coz THE FUCKING SLAVE WOULD.

If you dont like different laws in different states, the why have different states. Riddle me that batman!!!

Higher levels of government should control higher level issues. You local council should not decide on whether to wage war with Iran. The federal government should not decide what is taught in schools.

If one state has 90% of population mormons, then by all means teach that shit, coz whats what the majority of people believe in that state. That should please democratic fags. Or dont teach any religion at all. Whatever, the point is its not that big of an issue which the federal government should decide on, so therefore does not matter than Ron Paul is a christfag

yes, a guy who will be shot once he leaves the door will "leave and go to another state". do you know what slavery is?

then, its all fine and dandy if the parents want their children to believe what they believe, but that doesnt make it their right. the children have the right to an unbiased, top-notch education so they can freely chose as adults to abandon it.

>> No.3847555

it would be wasting the resources of that state that voted in people that wanted this

>> No.3847562

>>3847535
no
the point is that the constitution explicitly says that the government will not establish a religion
teaching creationist bullshit in government-run public schools sounds pretty fucking much like the government establishing religion
it is exactly the job of the federal government to keep states from doing shit like that
i actually do know a bit about constitutional law and if you want me to be technical i can explain it to you but you are high and do not seem very bright so i am aiming for your level

>> No.3847572

>>3847562
you are completely right, but that would leave the door open for private education which then could be as religious as it wants. this should be forbidden also.

>> No.3847584

look, the federal govt has the responsibility to ensure the constn is adhered to by all states.

drug laws, its not in the constitution so should be controlled by the states. letting the majority of people in that district decide. You cant say that bloke 1000 miles away smoking a blunt will affect me. Even if he does need to steal a TV to keep up his drug habit (note personally am a pot head so not judging) it wont affect the next state down, so why should the people in the first state decide on what the people in the next state can or cant do?

slavery is not constitutional, so of course, I would not condone the states legalising such.

Again, schools should be run by the states and the taxes collected in that state, so if people want spend all their resources teaching kids pink elephants fly, they can as it will only affect that state.

>> No.3847592

>>3847572
no, if someone wants to pay money to have their kid indoctrinated, by all means the government shouldnt stop them, if the kid is smart hell come to his senses eventually anyway, its only an issue when its the government using tax money for it

>> No.3847594

>>3847562
not high at the moment. only admit to having been so cant get on my horse about it.

yes "the government" cant propagate a religion, do you mean "the federal government". the state governemnts should be able to teach religion if its funded by the people in that state.

What is so wrong with the idea, that if states make these sorts of rules (teaches religion X, legalises pot, increases taxes to say 90%), then people will go "this state is awesome/shit" and people will move/leave there and depending on what they want.

if ur just going to have blanket rules for all states or all issues (not issue concerning the constitution), then why bother having states

how do the parents have the right to infringe on the rights of the child like this?

And more important to me as a utilitarian: how do they have the right to make their child into something that harms society instead of what it could have become: a benefit to it?

Children have the right to an unbiased education so they can make up their mind when they are adults. All else is slavery.

what about the 14th exactly?

I am talking about "relatively important social issues but not issues against basic human rights"

again with the pot anaolgy...
so 10 % of the population would move state if some other state had it legalised.

Sure it would be preferable to them if they could stay and smoke week, but everybody benefits from states having different laws. The pot smoker can smoke his pot, and the first state doesnt have people breaking a law that is apparently important to them.

The GREAT thing about it is, if one state tries a bad idea, then the losses are confined to that state. Instead, if the fed does a bad idea, like mandating social security that anybody under the age of 50 wont even get coz its bankrupt, then it affects everybody.

Why should the entire country have to move coz the federal government has shitty ideas?

It's too much for me to figure out, but I'll just say this:

Do you believe people get to the top because they care the most about the wellbeing of the masses, or do they get to the top because they've tricked and out-witted everyone else?

Do you think they'd rather play fairly, or just lie and get even more money/power?

Do you think they'd want to empower the masses, or dumb them down to make them even more subservient, dependent, and less of a threat?

Is life really like the movies, where the good guy always wins in the end? Or is this just a fantasy that appeals to the masses?

Or maybe, all the corruption and deception has happened in the past, but only now has mankind progressed to a smarter public and more noble leaders?

Would you really chalk the actions of leaders up to "stupidity" when they are making billions and billions, especially under the table?

Which makes more sense?

The only way "evil" can triumph is to diguise itself as good. The only reason for anything to be kept a secret is for someone to get cheated.
