dub: politicians here go
to great lenghts
to disguise any religious leaning as it would be political suicide
dub: because
thats crazy
talk
dub: your president
talks about god giving you rights regularly, we lock people like
this up
dub: smickles reminded me of another hilarity of american constitution,
that God started it all
mircea_popescu: as a show
that if you fuck
this one his daddy's prolly gonna have your arse.
mircea_popescu: towards
the mid phase
they had invented
the habit of putting gold on
the kid's necks
dub: you gather support for
this law and if enough people agree it becomes one
dub: so in order
to protect your kids you propose a law against fucking
them
dub: unfortunately
there are old people around
that would liek
to fuck your kids
mircea_popescu: dub i didn't pick
that example by accident. it was pretty much
the largest civil issue in greece.
dub: so in general if you have kids you don't want
them getting fucked until
they are old enough
to decide who
they want
to fuck
smickles: mircea_popescu:
the idea was
to make
the laws in accordance with what
the gods wanted, which was decided upon by debate
mircea_popescu: but nobody had
the authority
to ban smoking, or invent pedophilia as an offense
mircea_popescu: smickles is an entire "law of men / law of gods" issue
there
dub: the right
to wholesale slaughter each other because you are scared fo
the govt you elected
smickles: in
the republic,
the laws come from
the senators
dub: well
the bill of rights is a bit of a joke
mod6: it wasn't whimsical
to
the authors of
the constitution and
the bill of rights.
mircea_popescu: dub another way
to say
this would be
that your outlook is more grounded in fashion and ignorance
than literacy.
dub: well I guess my outlook is more grounded in reality
that whimsical language of philosophy
mircea_popescu: the idea of a state without
the power
to legislate is quite appealing, actually. pretty much
the onl;y way "the state" can work is if it can make no laws and raise no
taxes.
smickles: convince
the soldiers
they came from
the land
mircea_popescu: in
the classical republic
the laws were "always
there". some mystical origin or whatever.
mircea_popescu: pretty much everyone agrees democracy = disaster, as in, wrose
than
tyrrany
mircea_popescu: traditionally
the republic is
the place where
the laws prevail
dub: smickles: maybe according
to your schooling
mircea_popescu: yeah. and
the fate of democracy is for
those politicians
to observe
that
they can squander othe people's money.
dub: democracy is when people vote for politicians who in
turn vote, in accordance
their constituancies wishes, on propsed pieces of legistaltion

dub: the method of governance is what im interested in, not an arbitrary label but I
think no?
smickles: i was under
the impression
that most 'democracies' are actually republics
smickles: are
there any democracies in
the world
dub: yeah or democracy, whatever you want
to call it
dub: its hopefully not,
they act under rules decided by majority

the retarded brain of
the spanish faithful cca 1500
mircea_popescu: that's
the great progrss here : by detaching nigger-ness from skin color, slovenly-sluttyness from cuntal lips and everything from everything else
mod6: haha, yeah
the left used
to be
the ones with
the white hoods on
