What's Washington got to do with it?jsanders said:Thank God for the 2 term limit.
Or George Washington.
- Our fair share of rain and money, you bet. It doesn't solve everything but you can buy your own kind of misery, which by all indications, you would, but peace man...you're entitled and it's people like you that drive the force that many people live by because we're all glad you have no power to change it!Rich said:No not European or "very human", mainly American - ..I'm truly shocked and in awe of the deep deep level of denial here and I can't go on...okay, I'm ready!?#?$!
You're still ruled by an old man with a history of megalomania and global domination. Which slab of rock is only 230n yrs old, by the way? - This old man is on his way out (good riddence) in about five weeks! Then, we all pick the next lesser of two evils! 230 years old since Europeans mass immigrated over here to create what you hate... In total, about 4.5billion years old like the rest of the rock, about the same age as your ideas!^&#$!
Yes and Americans all but wiped them out: Oh my God...so "Americans" was a race of people or something? Sorry, Rich, 2+2 does not equal 5, not matter what you've been taught...
Yes but Europe woke up to the inhumanity of slavery and brought and end to it two centuries earlier than you, in fact the reason you demanded independance was to continue the practice. - Again, history decided this for us all a long time ago with the kindom of Spain and Cristo Columbus...the fact that it lasted any time period was that "human" nature thing that you deny...Any race of people will exploit whatever they can as long as they can, and have!
When do you intend to start "working together"? - We can start as soon as you realize that 2+2 never equals 5 or anything else you want to throw a blanket over and come to the same conclusion as most everyone else, American, French, German, Japanese, whomever,...probably even Martian...FOUR my good man!
That's it MONEY, that's what America's about and maybe not so much rain

so that was ignored then?jsanders said:George Washington stated as a guide line that presidents should not serve more than 2 terms.

But the damage was done after just one year and isn't it odd that Americans don't trust their politicians and have to limit their term of office?msp said:Although a couple of others tried (and failed) to get a third term.
IMO I believe it is one of the best laws in the US. It does safeguard against getting a manic for too long, or more importantly getting a dictatorship.
Far be it for me to defend LBJ, but it could be argued that he was drawn further into a war that had already started.dan-cat said:Why is LBJ so "nondescript" to you while GWB is so monstrous?
Cause he was murdered?Matty said:So if LBJ was drawn further into a war that was already started, why is the person that first escelated the war (JFK) seen by Colin as "really good?"
