...I don't think the men who decided black people were 3/5ths of a person allowed them to vote until, oh, maybe the middle of the 19th century? And even that was a sham until nearly one hundred years later. And women were arrested for voting until 1920. I don't see the democracy there.
Ok, we'll call it sparring on the Titanic. Now all I need is to find Kate Winslet and I'll be satisfied.
>> ^bareboards: ^ I'm not a big historian, but it seems to me that I remember that the Founding Fathers (yes, they were all men) had a heated debate when they were deciding who could vote.
Anyone? Or did you have to be educated? Own property?
Guess what they decided?
Yep. Democracy, not meritocracy. Representative democracy, to be accurate.
And you can have capitalism without a voting booth.
So you enjoy these "debates"? Huh. It doesn't seem like a debate to me. The topic keeps changing. Sparring, maybe. Sparring on quicksand.
You say that like it's wrong to be an invertebrate bundle of sticks. You're not getting my 2500 dollars. I just won that money on Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader? Turns out, I'm not. But they gave me money for trying, anyway. Who knew that fifth graders today learn Calculus? I shouldn't have gone on the Japanese version.
Are you kidding? I love a good debate. And it may sound heated, but I really am just debating. Nothing too serious, regardless of the tone.
Oh, and we've never lived in a democracy. That's just a silly word white men made up in order to give minorities and women the idea that they can be equal someday. Of course we live in a meritocracy. Capitalism would die without it.
>> ^bareboards: ^ Another problem with the internet?
Can't really have a discussion. Everything turns into dueling monologues. Oh well.
I didn't bring up my aunt to tug on your heartstrings. I brought her up as an example of when it's time to let things drop.
>>>I don't like that she can take that ignorance into a booth designed for intelligent, informed people. Voting booth wasn't designed for intelligent informed people. We live in a democracy, not a meritocracy.
We aren't going to agree. We see the world differently. I'm tired of this exchange. I suspect you're tired of me.
