I don't that is why I am asking you to clarify. What did you mean when you stated "" or to be grateful for the men and women who died for blah blah blah:

Why so defensive? Simple clarify what you meant by " or to be grateful for the men and women who died for blah blah blah. Hence I asked what country?

Simple enough for you? Or you going to troll this thread?

well if you read the thread which obviously didn't and your just jumping in (which is fine) you would see it was tigerace who saying he looks down on people who dont vote and "dont respect the troops" by which he meant specifically american veterans. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of this statement since hes claiming hes voting for the libertarian party the equivalent of throwing his vote away. Among other negative statements about the bias media, the rigged electoral system and massive government corruption

normally people who are genuinely patriotic or truly have admiration or loyalty for their country are very respectful of the current president no matter who he is, and would vote for either democrat or republican party, not some nonsense fringe candidate. Also they wouldnt be all that upset if their favorite candidate lost. because they have so much respect and admiration for not only their countries leadership and electoral system but also their countrymen.

conspiracy theorists and patriots dont mix

So in other words you can't be patriotic without having admiration for the exact individuals who are running?

I have plenty of respect for the institution of the presidency of the United States. But nowhere is it written that I have to vote for either the democrats or the republicans.

People are upset when their candidates lose. It happens every single election. There's no "hypocrisy".

The system is "rigged"---- but only to a point. Some parts of the media are biased; some politicians are corrupt. We'd be far worse off under a system like the USSR had.

People who don't bother to vote don't get to bitch about what the government does in my book.

well they do in my book, and as you can see with Ted Kaczynski people can do a little more than just "bitch about it"

Seems your the one who jumps to conclusions. But that is ok. (yes, I jumped in to a discussion you were having with another poster)

In your whole response, you speak volumes of what you believe about others , yet nothing specific about your personal belief.

Are you grateful for those who have served and died for .. ( in whatever country you claim as home).?
Do you vote?

nope
 
Computer technology and automation could result in shorter hours and higher incomes for everyone who is not rich.

This would not happen naturally, however. It would require economic intervention in the economy by a government that would be bigger and more powerful than most Americans desire.

With the government we get a Catch 22. It cannot improve the lives of most Americans unless it becomes more powerful. It cannot become more powerful unless it gains the trust of most Americans by making their lives better.
