Who does the American political system serve?

Our nation is pretty corrupt but what happens is that people don't see it or most likely don't care.

But really how can a man with a white tiger be full of hatred?
He did burn the American flag, an example of hatred.
I am not fooled by the white tiger. One of my avatars is a snarling black wolf..
 
It doesnt measure real corruption. It doesnt take into consideration the corruption surrounding elections for example. It doesnt cover actual corruption. Nor does it cover corruption that is not yet considered corruption. And again, Wikipedia is a lame source.
But if one agrees with Wikipedia, it becomes a great source.
Its probably impossible to measure this corruption in all honesty.
And how this possibily be done?
So, the results have limited meaning.
Note that many of the less corrupt nations have low populations and suffer less from massive immigration and are small in size..
As I say over and over, we Americans are not perfect as your are, Max.
 
The American political system serves those who choose to participate.

Really? How big of a difference does it actually make if you vote republican or democrat?

And how long to being elected president or even congress? Could you even stand a theoretical chance without a fortune?

The service quality improves when the degree and intensity of participation increases.
Voting is good, but not enough.
Most entries on the INTERNET are, IMO, a waste of time.
Our ability to read,write, and speak must be improved and up-graded.
Other for me; the so-called choices are too controlling...many are outright stupid.

:thinking
 
So the media is some monolithic group? I see no evidence of this. The large media conglomerates are too large, and too much of the media is owned by too few people, but to say it is a single force is a vast oversimplification.

Where else do people get the impulse and material to vote?

The next problem is you fail to understand the importance of the internets as a tool for gathering information, one that is used by an increasingly large number of people, and is far from monolithic. My grandmother, at over 90 before she died, would forward me emails full of(usually false) political information.

Yes, I agree, but the internet is still so small, and most people use it for garbage things like being on phasebook and writing on twitter every tie they fart. Most people dont gather political knowledge on the internet.

The proof of how small a say internet has in politics, is proven in the fact of how big the republican and democrat party still is.

You have this idea that you are smarter than every one else, but there is no evidence of this. People love to talk about how dumb normal people are, but far too often, this is simple an exercise to make themselves feel good.

Nah, I do not think I am smarter than every one else..
 
I think Max can be quite intelligent, if he would allow himself to be.
He has a maturity age of a pre-teen-ager...but may be in his late teens or early 20s, at best.
Youngsters(I was one once) have a tendency to be intolerant and to think they possess greater intellect.
Gathering political info is similar to harvesting a crop of wheat from a field that was never "de-weeded", but its much more difficult ..Some weeds are more nutritious than the wheat, other weeds are poisonous..
Thank goodness for PBS...and our government.

Actually, in a lot of cases people give up as they grow older. They dont fight for what is honest anymore, and they stop caring, and just conform with the corruption.

Just because I am not there, doesnt mean I am a "pre-teenager". I will never give up honesty, I will never conform to the corrupted ways and never give up hope/care.

It's an example of: Woohoo, I can light things on fire! LOOK AT MY MESSAGE! ISN'T THIS A STRONG MESSAGE! OOOHH! FIRE! DOWN WITH AMERICA!!! I liken flag burning to those "nonconformist" emo kids who do **** to stand out and get attention. :D

I never burned an American flag. I had a picture with a burning American flag, not because I hate America, but to see the reactions and judge them.
 
The result was quite extreme, but very interesting. I wouldn´t say I use people as Guinea pigs, but it was something that brought results and conclutions.

You knew what results you would get before you even started your little 'experiment'.

I had a theory, yes. I was surprised the reactions were as strong as they were, and dissapointed and saddened that this was the result.

Simplicity, complexity.

You put yourself on a pedestal, your elitism oozes from almost every post. Even when you try to be humble, you just come off as fake or mocking. Just, step off the pedestal man. You aren't as wise or clever as you think you are and you aren't as knowledgeable as you believe yourself to be, especially in comparison to some of the other posters here that you seem to dismiss when they disagree with you and have decent evidence to back up their claims.


tl;dr - Your self righteous ego isn't getting you anywhere, especially when coupled with your beliefs.

Prove it.. :lol:

Too late, you've proven it with 88.45% of your posts. I get an error of "too many characters" even just linking to all these posts. So basically, just roll a D20 for every one of your posts. If it's a 17, 18, 19, 20 you score a "Not Egotistical" on your attack phase, re-roll. If you get a 16 or below, you've posted egotistically and well...roll again.

Repeat until you've rolled for each post, then you let me know the results.

EDIT: For each post in which you reference yourself using words like "I, ME, MYSELF" subtract 2 points from the roll as you've almost certainly let your ego slip when you refer directly to yourself.

I see no proof.. Link!!?

:lol:

:lol:

The proof is in the very comments you post and the replies to these comments. You won't be able to see it anyways, tis the nature of the blinding ego.


Make a poll then with these 2 options (if I make it the poll may attract more bias):

I, Maximus Zeebra, suffer from an engorged ego and should practice some humility.

or

I, Maximus Zeebra, most humble of humbles, have not shown a superfluous amount of ego in at least a majority of my posts.


I may stand to be corrected, but let the proof be in the pudding, or rather the polling.


EDIT:

Some might see the irony in this post coupled with your signature:

You are wrong. You havent provided any evidence :lol:

And you didnt have a link, therefor your view is false :roll:




Do you like that better? Am I more humble now, in adapting to the general methodology on this forum of not listening appreciatively of others opinions, in favour of silly retorics...

Does it make me more humble? :monkey
 
Really? How big of a difference does it actually make if you vote republican or democrat?

And how long to being elected president or even congress? Could you even stand a theoretical chance without a fortune?



:thinking

What you don't get....still, is that if people chose to care they could and would MAKE it a difference... :roll:
