Current Attempts to destroy Gun rights in Congress

When in truth you'll stand in line an meekly hand your guns in if/when (for RF's pedantic benefit) you are ordered to so so follow the repeal of the 2nd amendment and a law banning all gun*

Wouldn't matter anyway because the federal government doesn't have the power to ban guns. Without the 2nd Amendment, the issue of guns would be left up to the states. States with gun bans would attract criminals and states with no restrictions would attract law-abiding gun owners.

Have you not kept up with the debate ?

All gun controls without a repeal of the 2nd amendment are only half measures

No significant gun reduction in US society can be done until the 2nd amendment is repealed

So no, a law banning guns would not therefore be unconstitutional on take away anyone's "rights".
 
You just love making sweeping statements that you have absolutely no idea on what you're talking about

Of course Queen Elizabeth II has influence, a great deal of influence


"For several decades of the queen’s reign, British governments saw themselves in the business of “managing decline” — from empire and victory in World War II to the status of middling power. During this time the influence and the symbolism of the crown has been all-pervasive..."


Opinion | Why the Queen Matters - The New York Times


From the New York Times

Now don't talk about think on which you know absolutely NOTHING




What country in the world (other than the Vatican) doesn't have farmers, white collar and blue collar workers making them "diverse" ???
So the USA is no more "diverse" than any country in the world ?


Again you're talking nonsense and clearly you don't know what you're talking about





Japan did surrender - they signed the surrender document on board the USS Missouri in September 1945


Japanese Instrument of Surrender - Wikipedia


And Japan insisted on keeping their emperor for traditional reasons...it's why the UK won't ever swap the Queen for a president





Dude, a president ***IS*** a head of state

In some countries, presidents, on assuming power, declare themselves "president for life" examples are Idi Amin and Robert Mugabe also presidents Saddam, Assad of Syria and Mubarak of Egypt.

The US style of government where the head of government is also head of state is quite popular in third world dictatorships





:lamo


About 200 countries in the world and about 180 of them have "freedom"

What about the Committee on UnAmerican Activities ?
Lynch parties hanging predominantly blacks (about 5,000 up to the 1930's)
Internment of Japanese Americans
Civil Rights Movement - tell me why that was necessary
Try going to Cuba as an American citizen, why does the US place restrictions but no other country does ?
Why are there some "right to work" states ?

So don't talk rubbish about the USA having more freedom than all other countries, because it does not


But you are 15 times more likely to be shot in the USA




The USA is VERY censored - a lot more than the UK
Every see nudity on TV, can a woman go topless on a public beach whereas a man can ?
All TV shows and movies must show the bad guy losing (unless it's claimed to be an historical movie)
Have you never heard of the page 3 girls of the British newspaper "The Sun" ?

Gambling is not allowed in much of the USA
Why are there dry counties ?

So you admit the hierarchy has power-glad were past that

WOW-THATS AN OP-ED, NOT ALLOWED

I know exactly what I am talking about-congressional districts are not meant to be divided into races but a culture of people. It's like saying that we need more women in congress but that is not the point of a district,

Japan surrendered after it was known they would keep their emperor, study history, Truman did now want the Emperor to rule but it had to surrender

Your right-all systems go like this

1.Head of State
2.Legislative

Glad we agree

You are 15 times more likely to be shot compared to what?

Every country has experienced racism and many still do-Germany genocided 6 million Jews, Belgium tortured and killed millions of the Congolese. I can go on and on- every countries history has some dark spots.

Many countries have restrictions on Cuba

Women are showing sexual objects when topless,men are not.

And yes-women van go full nude but not men in America

You are showing MOVIES as an example of freedom, MOVIES, those are produced by private companies, and your wrong-Joker wins in his AWARD WINNING FILM-Hitler wins in the move Valkyrie, etc.

No,, I dont read British newspapers but there is nude magazines and porn sites in America too, that is completely legal too. Whats your point??


Gambling isnt allowed in a lot of countries but casinos are insanely popular in America

I have traveled, I have been to Ireland and Spain. The countries are not as free as America. America is the free-ist country in the world when it comes to free speech but most developed countries are generally free

List of freedom indices - Wikipedia

My small-minded American views are not pitiful- I have traveled before and my Parents are 1st generation Russian immigrants from the 90's escaping the shi*ty aftermath of communism

But I love America, my country first and europeans can have that mindset too, I dont care
 
So you admit the hierarchy has power...

No !!!


Queen Elizabeth II exerts influence, not power

You need to learn the difference

You've never studied politics beyond high school social studies have you ?


I know exactly what I am talking about-congressional districts are not meant to be divided into races but a culture of people.

That you think anyone said they were shows that you don't

The question was: "What country in the world doesn't have farmers, white collar and blue collar workers making them "diverse" ?"

Which you completely dodged


Japan surrendered after it was known they would keep their emperor...

So you now admit Japan DID surrender, having said "japan needed it's emperor because of their honor code, that is why they didnt surrender"

The retention of the emperor as head of state was part of the surrender terms



Your right-all systems go like this

1.Head of State
2.Legislative

No, in all Westernized democracies except the USA the legislature in not part of the government and the head of state is honorary

The head of government is a different person who sits in the legislature.

The USA stands out as different to the other democracies and shares more with "third world/dictatorship" countries in terms of type of government


You are 15 times more likely to be shot compared to what?

15 times more likely to be shot in the USA, than you are if you live in one of the other Westernized democracies


Every country has experienced racism...


But it does destroy the myth of the USA DoI of "all men are equal", freedom yada yada yada


So your defense of racism in the USA is that it might be worse in other countries
That's like saying to survivors of the Parkland shooting that gun violence is worse in Brazil or El Saladore



Many countries have restrictions on Cuba

Like who ?



Women are showing sexual objects when topless,men are not.

Says who ?

Why are women's breasts "sexual objects" ?

Another sexually bigoted statement from you

Hint: breasts are not sexual organs


...women can go full nude but not men in America

Really, where ?


...your wrong-Joker wins in his AWARD WINNING FILM-Hitler wins in the move Valkyrie, etc.

The recent Joker movie did not show him winning - it showed him as a victim, it didn't show crime paying off
As for Hitler "winning" - did I not say "unless it's claimed to be an historical movie". I guess you missed that bit huh ?

No, I dont read British newspapers but there is nude magazines and porn sites in America too, that is completely legal too. Whats your point?

The USA has a hang up with showing a woman's breasts (remember the s**t storm over Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction". What other country would even have an issue with that?

And no, breasts are still not sexual organs


Gambling isnt allowed in a lot of countries but casinos are insanely popular in America

Like where ?

If they're so popular, why are they not in every state ?


I have traveled, I have been to Ireland and Spain.

Whoopee

America is the free-ist country in the world when it comes to free speech...

Yet another claim made without evidence

Your link states nothing about how "free" the USA is with regard to speech. Though a person in the USA is free to spout "hate speech" which is not the best indicator of "freedom"

My small-minded American views are not pitiful..

Pitiful, ignorant and bigoted.
 
No !!!


Queen Elizabeth II exerts influence, not power

Pitiful, ignorant and bigoted.

They are interchangeable, the kings and queens show power by being influential in Parliament, the influence has been going down over time

Again, Congressional districts are defined by those characteristics, Europe cant say the same because their nations are different

I implied that Japan was reluctant to surrender at first which they were

Like what westernized countries?

No, I never made that claim- my claim was that Europe have experienced racism too so what's your point-also America did spread ideas of freedom-look what happened in France.

How is our way like a dictatorship, it is a clear democracy. Why is the European system better, it fits their culture but not ours

You seriously don't think breasts are sexual, are you kidding me??? Where does the babies milk come from after conceived? I never claimed they were sexual organs but are still clearly sexual, what a stupid statement.

Cuba–European Union relations - Wikipedia

Relations are not good.

https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/nudity-and-public-decency-laws-in-america-31193

Women have more leeway

Joker did win- he is the king of the rat people at the end-did you see the movie?
Hitler escaped and killed the guy who planned the assassination

They are two states who dont have casinos-Utah which is just a Mormon hellhole and Hawaii, I doub there is a market there, casinos are expensive

My views are not bigoted, typical leftist shaming with no meaning
 
They are interchangeable

Power and influence are NOT the same.
Study some politics and learn the difference

The influence of a Constitutional Monarch like Queen Elizabeth II comes from a reign of almost 70 years. So her influence has grown over the decades. Now if she is replaced by her grandson, prince William, his experience (hence his influence) will be much less


Congressional districts are defined by those characteristics, Europe cant say the same because their nations are different

Yes they can

Show me evidence that US congressional district boundaries are drawn up with a different criteria


I implied that Japan was reluctant to surrender at first

No country likes surrendering, they wanted to keep their emperor & negotiated to keep him
Unlike Germany, where the USA needlessly demanded "unconditional surrender"

The USA was reluctant to surrender in Vietnam

Like what westernized countries?

Westernized countries with a parliamentary system of government ?
All of them except the USA

UK, Ireland, Italy, Spain, NZ, Japan, Australia, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Norway....

Edit: France has a hybrid form of government with a PM in a parliament and an elected president with some powers


Europe have experienced racism too so what's your point-also America did spread ideas of freedom-look what happened in France

That the US DoI & Constitution did NOT set all men free. It was just BS
The rest of the world also had racism and inequality but refrained from making BS claims about "liberty"


The French Revolution was 101 year AFTER the English Revolution. I'd be willing to bet you'd never heard of that

Do you claim responsibility for the Russian Revolution on 1917


How is our way like a dictatorship...why is the European system better, it fits their culture but not ours

The parliamentary system is not the "European" way: NZ, Australia, Canada & Japan aren't in Europe
And before you say 3 of those are former British colonies, so was Uganda, Pakistan, Nigeria which have chosen a presidential style common with third world countries & dictatorships

The difference is that a parliamentary system has the government as members of the legislature & the head of state & head of government are separated
So the president can't become a tyrant and the head of government always has support of the legislature.

In the USA, you get "lame duck" presidents who are frustrated by a hostile Congress


You seriously don't think breasts are sexual, are you kidding me?

You're confusing sexual attractiveness with sexual organs

A woman's breasts might be attractive to a man (or another woman for that matter) but so might a man's naked chest be attractive to a woman

Laws demanding women cover their breasts but not men are sexually discriminating


Where does the babies milk come from after conceived? I never claimed they were sexual organs but are still clearly sexual

I think you mean "baby's" and "birth" not conception
And so what if a woman can breast feed, how does that make her breasts "sexual"?


Yours is the stupid statement
The USA has such a hang up with nudity, a teenager has seen 10,000 "killings"on TV, it's claimed, but not a single female nipple on network TV, because that's obscene
Walk round European beaches, they're not discriminating like the USA and haven't turned into sexual predators


Relations are not good

Yes they are. From your own web page:

"The EU is Cuba's second most important trading partner..."

Try again



Women have more leeway

So where in your link does it say women can go full nude but not men in America ?


Joker did win

You mean he didn't die at the end of the movie - and you interpret that as a win
It was an origin story....kinda hard to have Batman's nemesis die before he'd even met Batman isn't it ?


The Joker showed crumbling psyche, he is shown as more than a victim than a victor
Crime wasn't shown to pay


Hitler escaped and killed the guy who planned the assassination

Because it was a dramatization of what happened. Von Stauffenberg DID die in real life
Hence my statement "unless it's claimed to be an historical movie". I guess you really did miss that bit huh ?


They are two states who dont have casinos-Utah which is just a Mormon hellhole and Hawaii, I doub there is a market there, casinos are expensive

Wrong, Georgia has no casinos & if casinos being expensive is your reason why they don't exists, why do they exist in poor states like Mississippi and on Indian reservations ?


My views are not bigoted...

Yes they are, full of bigoted sexual prejudice.

all of that is false
 
Reading comprehension failure (that was never claimed).


You're been comprehensively out argued and all you can muster is the terse reply petulant little boy.

That is a lie, you are showing clear display of ignorance and your bigoted views against Conservatives are not tolerated here. GTFO

Nowhere in the post are Hitler, the Nazis or the swastika mentioned at all.

He escaped the police and was the rat king of those clowns

Jokers crumbling physique was because he lost his medications
