Not allow Atheists to graduate from HS? GOP says yes!

Real life is not NS. You can't just press a "dismiss issue" button and it'll be gone. In real life, that just leaves the issue unsolved. It's not a maybe- these issues need to be addressed somehow- all of them- otherwise they'll grow out of control.

Than create a solution based on the Constitution. Or do the ration thing and get rid of the Constitution and institute a Monarchy.

There's nothing rational about a monarchy

We created the Constitution immediately after rebelling against a monarchy to make sure that we wouldn't have another monarchy. Trust me, we're never going to replace the former with the latter.

[Ordya]

You do realize you can have a constitution and a monarchy...right?

Constitutional Monarchies don't work out.

The UK would disagree.

[The UK in Exile]

so atheists count as 2/3s of a person for the purposes of representation.

Atheists are slaves now?

it doesn't mention slaves, it mentions "other persons". the literal interpretation of which is rather vague.

I'll have to ask my best friend, since he's under the Selective Services Act. Being female, I don't fall under that law. But if I remember right, men between the ages of 18-26 have to register in order to get federal financial aid.

Well, I got Pell grants, so I probably did at some point. Clearly it made a huge impact on my life.

I know right? Huge difference it made!

Yes there is. Monarchy is a much better system.

The UK is a failed democracy.

Thank God the Founders knew to make it changeable.

We rebelled from the United Kingdom largely so we wouldn't be under a monarch.

I'm sure that the UK, Canada, Australia, Jamaica, Antigua, Barbados, Belize, Grenada, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Japan, and Liechtenstein would all disagree (just to name a few).

How so?

[Threlizdun]

Yes there is. Monarchy is a much better system.

In what possible way is hereditary rule the best system of governance?

[Silent Majority]

You're either trolling, or just extremely ignorant of human history.

Well in a constitutional monarchy the stability of the Crown acts as a buffer against possible extreme political actions by government. In a sense, the monarchy can, under a proper constitution, actually be the final safeguard of democracy.

But that is beside the point.

And it worked out so well. But this is NOT a thread on Monarchism.

Not related to the thread.

All democracies.

[New Israelia]

I support this. Having atheists in public office is abominable and blaspehmeous.

Up until now, I've only suspect that you've been blowing smoke out your ass. Now I'm certain.

[Mavorpen]

The majority of the developed world would disagree.

An anachronism that is still around so that unknown senators can make tangential points by threatening to reinstate the draft, I guess.

Yes, all democracies headed by a constitutional monarch.

It has poor social policies, huge amounts of debt and a failed economic policy.

[Dyakovo]

Yes there is. Monarchy is a much better system.

You're either trolling, or just extremely ignorant of human history.

Or both...

Trolling is trying to anger others. I am simply posting my real views as a Monarchist.

[Zottistan]

I support this. Having atheists in public office is abominable and blaspehmeous.

Having heathen Christians in office is an abominationa against Allah.

So did every absolute monarchy throughout history.
