@DharmaBum50 Just like our leading Democrats—fighting between yourselves. Tsk, tsk. But nobody beats the pubicans for splintering a party. Time to add more parties to open up the candidate field.
Sticks48 replies on Jun 15, 2021:
@DharmaBum50 For me campaign finance reform and term limits are the best answer. As I said, we have had the Libertarian Party since the late 70s and they haven't made a dent. I'm not sure where in the political landscape one or two more parties would land. The Senate rules are a problem because they have a couple of rules where one person can stop everything in its tracks. I have never liked the filibuster. If the folks vote a party in than let them do what they do and if folks don't like what they do they will get voted out. We have basically two parties within each party now and they hang both parties up. if the progressives split and started their own party you would have two very small parties on the left as we almost have now. The Republicans face the same problem now in their party with the moderates, the Freedom Caucus, and the hard core Trumpers. There seems to be no room for compromise within the smaller groups in each party and without compromise democracy won't work. At least term limits will definitely change the way some people vote. If they aren't busy trying to hold their seats forever they might vote their beliefs and not for what will help them keep their jobs. As one retired Republican said, they don't fire us for passing nothing, they fire us for voting for things they don't like. Look how many Dems lost their jobs for voting for the ACA. Then after Americans decided they liked it months later these people lost their seats for nothing. I don't know what the answer is and maybe there aren't any.

Sticks48 replies on Jun 15, 2021:
@EllenDale It is opened up. Go start a party. We have had splinter parties in the past and still do, and they have changed nothing, only made it worse. Nader , the Green Party candidate, gave us Bush. How did that work out? We have them and they can't make a dent in the system. Maybe our system of government just won't work. It obviously isn't and hasn't for a long time. No other democracy coming after us has copied our system. It could be we are doomed to fail as a nation because of our system. Time will tell.

Sticks48 replies on Jun 14, 2021:
I'm curious how more parties would make it work better. The Tea Party, now The Freedom Party showed how one very small party can bring it all to a halt. Why do you think Boehner quit? The tea party stopped the House from passing anything even things the Republicans wanted. You could elect a third party candidate or Independent to the Presidency and then you would have a President neither major party would work with. We have had the Green Party and the Libertarian Party has been around since the 70s. Neither one has gotten any traction. I can't really see how this would work. To me term limits would be more effective.

@SeaGreenEyez You haven't named one thing he can do. So the Texas Dems walked off. It will delay not change a thing. if Presidents didn't have limited power Trump would have really wreaked havoc. The only thing that stopped him was losing the House. What did Obama pull off, Obamacare? He did that because he had the Congress and it was still hard to get some Dems to go along with it. Don't tell me there are "things" Biden can do, what "things". I am sure he will do what he can. he knows how Washington works. Actually to say that is NEVER what Republicans care about is wrong. All the things that Johnson got passed through Congress was done with the help of Republicans over the objections of Southern Democrats. Those days are gone and if we don't get some of that back nothing major will happen as nothing has happened except Obamacare. I totally understand your frustration as I feel the same way, but to put it all on Biden is just not accurate. Those two Senators represent their states, not the President, and they are red states. The both of them may come around yet. We will see. Biden knows he has to get third right or it could all go bye-bye next year after the 22 elections. I am on your side, you know.

It was not hard to get the people riled up and buying into Hitler's rhetoric. This is why we did not punish Japan and Germany so harshly after WWll. Now maybe Japan attacks us anyway, but that would not have been a world war, just a war between the U.S. and Japan, with involvement from Australia and China.

These cops driving around in cars all day are not trained to do much of anything very complicated. If the special units aren't working that much, that's okay. How much do fireman work for the hours they are there. IMO

@Krish55 The US and Britain created this mess and we can't fix it. Once we fucked it up we should have forced Israel to recognize the Palestinian autonomy and provide them with their own sovereign country. I have no idea how they can fix this or if it ever will be. My feeling is it will not end well. I always thought they should have carved out a part of Germany and let the European Jews have their own country their as reparation for what the Germans did. Putting them in the Middle East was wrong in every possible way.

@Krish55 It is not racist at all. Be stupid with someone else, not me. That part of the world has been fighting each other for thousands of years. They are super tribal and the country borders mean very little. It never changes. Yes outside forces, especially the US, have made it worse, but if we pulled out tomorrow, which we should, the same crap will continue. Cultures change from within, not from outside forces. If it weren't for the oil the rest of the world would not give a shit what goes on there. They have to figure it out themselves just like we have to in this country. They either will or they won't just as we will or we won't. Let them kill each other if that is what they insist on, we aren't going to stop them. They will still sell their oil to the world.

@KWAPELL7 All believers of whoever their Gods are believe theirs is the true God(s). So your one true God doesn't eat animals (Why would God eat period?) , but you fail to address his killing of innocent children and adults. Your God is an incredibly insecure and incredibly angry God. If you treated your children the way God treats his children, which would be us, you would be in jail for the rest of your life.

Sticks48 replies on May 26, 2021:
@KWAPELL7 So if you had a chance to stop someone from killing your "children" you would just go fuck it? Then lets go to all of the children and innocents he has killed according to the Bible. The flood...He kills everyone but one family. Sodom and Gomorrah...He kills everyone including the children. The Exodus from Egypt...He kills the first born which includes infants. Why didn't he kill the adults he was pissed at? Your God is a psychopath with anger issues. There are over 2000 Gods recorded in human history and youre is just another one. I know you came here to troll us, but it is a waste of time.

@BDair In elementary school my best friend and next door neighbor had a sister who had polio. She was in an iron lung for I don't remember how long. It was horrible. I had another friend in high school who had polio. We had a lead guitar player when we lived in Taos who had polio and it fucked with his head his whole life until he jumped 650 ft to his death from the gorge bridge. Leon Russell who we toured with had polio. We had to deal with chicken pox, which I had and later led to me getting shingles, mumps, and measles, which have been pretty much eradicated due to vaccinations. Kids are unhealthy now because they are over weight because they don't play outside. They spend their time sitting on their fat asses playing video games. In my 1st grade class photo we were all skinny except for one kid who was pudgy. You have no fucking idea of what you are talking about. Quit looking for things that support what you want to believe, and look for the facts and the truth.

The ten things that scare the hell out of INFPs.
Sticks48 comments on May 24, 2021:
I took the test and I am an ENFP-T. I was surprised at the accuracy. Interesting.
Sticks48 replies on May 24, 2021:
@Willow_Wisp It appears so. As I said I was surprised at the accuracy. If I hadn't taken the test and someone handed me a print out of this description of me I would have been stunned at its accuracy. As I have gotten older and dealing with more alone time than I have ever experienced before due to the pandemic, I found out it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I would feel lonely at times and a little depressed at times, some of that brought on by the thought at my age I can't afford a wasted year, but about six months into it my brother and I started working on an acoustic duo and it has turned out to be something we are both very happy with and we are getting all of the bookings we want, so that really helped. As I have gotten older I have found myself enjoying a much smaller social circle than when I was younger. As I said a most interesting test. Thanks for sharing this test.
Who else Installed an 8 track tape deck and rear speakers?
Sticks48 comments on May 24, 2021:
I had a car with an 8 track. They sounded better than cassettes becuase the tape was much wider, but they also took up a lot of room.
Sticks48 replies on May 24, 2021:
@FrostyJim Cassettes weren't wide enough to actually reproduce all of the recording. I have been in the studio many times and have talked to a couple of engineers about this. This is why analog is recorded on two inch tape. Changing sides of the tape was kind if a pain, but only on one song.
