Well it's true that I'm above average, but that being said, I surely wouldn't do anything like Trump has done, which puts his reign in the proper perspective.

Like I've said, politicians should be wiped away, to never be seen again, while scientists steer the human ship, because they're the only ones that actually have a clue of what's going on.

if that's the standard then no gov ought to play with anything better than staffs and bows and arrows

no gov builds weapons: they buy 'em
So I guess you've never heard of a Nuclear Bomb, they've only been around since 1945.
the gov sponsored the atom bomb: it didn't build it then, it doesn't build it now
Are you saying that the Manhattan Project was private enterprise???

no, the folks we're told are protestin' are rioters: black thugs, white cucks, degenerate white whores, pedophiles, trannie-queers...all commies (mostly dupes & sympathizers)

useful idiots
C’mon get a grip. You have valid arguments without using so much blatant hyperbole.

You're dead wrong HQ!!! If we follow your flawed logic to it's source, then the government paid for it. So lets work backward from the nucs:

NUCS->GOV->TAX->CITIZENS->JOBS->BUSINESS'S/CORPORATIONS->SUBSIDIES->GOV->AND OF COURSE IT GOES ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND, BUT ULTIMATELY THE MONEY IS PRINTED BY THE GOVERNMENT WHICH STARTS THE CIRCULATION! UNLESS YOU WANT TO GO FURTHER BLAMING THE INK MAKERS, LOGGERS AND FINALLY THE TREES< AND EARTH FOR PROVIDING ALL THE RAW NATURAL RESOURCES. THEN I GUESS IT'S THE FAULT OF THE UNIVERSE FOR OUR EXISTENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE. ESPECIALLY YOUR KIND!

The fault/blame/responsibility/cause (what ever the fuck you want to call it) lies with those that demand such nasty weapons PERIOD! And that was the cowards, that was at that time, the GOV. But shit the dumbass humans have been fighting over resources/land/power and just pure selfish crap since the beginning of their time, I'm dumbfounded that the dumbasses are still fighting the same tired old loosing battles. Why haven't the numbskulls learned their lessons yet? TOO FUCKING STUPID FOR THEIR OWN GOOD!!! No one survives a NUCLEAR WAR, NO ONE!!!!!! STUPID FUCKERS!!!!




gov don't do shit
THE ONES IN CHARGE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE SHIT, GOOD OR BAD. YOU KNOW, THE ONES THAT STEER THE HUMAN SHIP! ALL THE REST ARE JUST FUCKING PAWNS!!! EVER PLAY CHESS???

Actually no, not until the humans get a clue and band together for a common cause: the continuation of finally a peaceful humankind, where the SPHERES finally BALANCE. Like the musketeer credo, "All for one and one for all!" And I mean ALL!!! Enough of this childish selfish crap already!

I'm ready of a major evolutionary leap, I'm sick and tired of the same old backward self sucking/fucking (egomania) causing the stagnation of the current human condition, ultimately the cause of our demise, if we don't change our ways.

The government does shit: it collects our money, it prints the money that it takes from us and it has committees and departments that decide for us where the money is to be spent. That’s some shit, brother. :wink:
