What if Ron Paul were the President of the US

[Cabana]

Ah, to be fourteen years old again. Fun fact: the modern Russian government pretty much considers homosexuality to be a typically Western thing, just as Stalin. For a short period the Soviet Union actually had really progressive laws concerning human sexuality, but under the steel reign of Stalin this was quickly replaced with a more conservative approach.

Stalin was less socialist than Vladimir Lenin but he was still a socialist. He wasn't pure evil like Vladimir Lenin but that doesn't excuse his Marxism, his genocides and persecution of Christians that happened when he was the Primer.

Stalin wasn't pure evil but Lenin was?

Are you a shill?

Teddy:

First, you claim that Ron Paul didn't support capitalism, because somehow in your mind capitalism isn't called "free enterprise" but rather "state controlled enterprise."

Second, you claim that Ron Paul is a socialist and a Marxist, even though I doubt that he ascribes to Dialectal Materialism. If any of the Marxists here would back me, thanks.

I don't know where you are getting these ideas, but I highly doubt any of them are true.

[Dyakovo]

Can I have some of what you are having, sir?

I'm seconding this. Teddy, share whatever you're smoking. Sharing is caring.

Commie! Buy your own!

[The Liberated Territories]

Prove it.

Because these things will occur far more often without the law. We enacted the law because we had a huge discrimination problem in the US. There needs to be a regulatory framework with strong penalties for businesses and institutions that act in a racist or discriminatory manner. Well-enforced laws can change society's behavior. We can use laws to regulate businesses to make them be inclusive of all groups, as well as use those laws to change society and stamp out discrimination and racism.

1. Did you know if you don't let people but stuff from you, you lose profit? Shocking I know.
2. How does allowing vendors to sell as they choose have to do with self-correction. It's allowing companies sovereignty of their assets.
3. Source of Ron Paul liking discrimination.

And yeah, didn't quite phrase right, point is that you aren't a racist if you don't oppose racism.

1. If that were true in the case of discrimination, we wouldn't have passed the law in the first place.
2. Businesses are not entitled to 'sovereignty' if they engage in practices that are discriminatory, encourage institutional racism, or cause social exclusion. The state must regulate these businesses to ensure society is fair and all peoples' rights are protected.
3. Ron Paul doesn't have to like discrimination to be racist. If he knowingly permits discrimination and racism to occur without trying to stop it, when he is able to, then he's being racist.


Don't tolerate intolerance when people are being directly affected by that intolerance. If you tolerate intolerance, you're just as intolerant.

Source? Source? Source?

Yes, we had a huge discrimination problem - 60 years ago, and it was ingrained in law. Imagine if an Apple store discriminated against someone today - it would be all over the news, there would possibly be lawsuits. Smaller businesses could probably get away with some discrimination in remote areas, but even then unless they are running a monopoly, they usually have other competitors and even if you discriminate overtly against ONE person, the whole minority will probably never go to your small business again. Customer retention is a huge deal, my fathers business only barely manages to get by, by filling a niche market in an area full of big retail.

Also, I'd say that attempting to change people's opinions about stuff is needlessly authoritarian. You aren't going to force people to bond with each other, you need to gradually let them mix until they understand that hey - people aren't that different. Obviously racism hasn't disappeared, it has only gone underground. Government policies have made it worse by incentivizing people to be racist.

For your final point, this is a picture of Ron Paul giving free healthcare to minorities:

Stalin was a true rough rider.

Besides deliberately defiling the heritage of one of America's more spectacularly moustached presidents, I also suspect that Teddy-boy is a frequent visitor of those websites exclusively written by the same clique of paranoid and perpetually angry (young) men who more often than not write their hysterical conspiracy theories IN ALL CAPS.

If you want to write proper satire, you should learn that a) it's "Premier" not "Primer", that b) the Soviet Union did NOT have a Prime Minister during Stalin's time (it was "chairman of the Council of People's Commissars" and then "Chairman of the Council of Ministers"), and that c) Stalin became head of the Soviet government way after the persecution of the religious.

This is why Ron Paul is a Marxist in a conservative costume.

Dudes, we've found the new Hammurab. He only needs to put more Russian gay sex in his rants...

I'm seconding this. Teddy, share whatever you're smoking. Sharing is caring.

Commie! Buy your own!

That's what I told my friends jokingly in ACS, but eventually let them have some.

[Laerod]

Dudes, we've found the new Hammurab. He only needs to put more Russian gay sex in his rants...

Hammy didn't come across as lazy or uninspired the way T does.

So, uh, do you know what tolerance even is?

tol·er·ance
ˈtäl(ə)rəns
noun
1.
the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.
"the tolerance of corruption"

You are the one being intolerant, my friend.

A Paul as POTUS? Wait, I need to make a phone call.

Care to explain, or maybe actually quote some 20th century philosopher I've never heard of?

Anyone would be better than Hillary. Hell anyTHING would be better than Hillary.

I'm pretty sure the qualifications to be President exclude non-human things.

So no Hillary then. Whew.

[Ifreann]

I'm pretty sure the qualifications to be President exclude non-human things.

So no Hillary then. Whew.

I dunno, I'm not seeing anything here about humans only.

[Cabana]

I'm pretty sure the qualifications to be President exclude non-human things.

So no Hillary then. Whew.

Whats wrong with Hillary?

[Ifreann]

So no Hillary then. Whew.

Whats wrong with Hillary?

She's technically a geological formation.

[Big Jim P]

Whats wrong with Hillary?

Everything.

*touches wood* don't jinxs something like that.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Ron Paul is the reality of Charlie the Unicorn..

He promises you candy mountain but would actually just remove your kidneys.

..but shunnn.. shunnn the non-believers.

Yeah, you said it best.

[Big Jim P]

*touches wood* don't jinxs something like that.

We do not need to know when you touch yourself.

[Ethel mermania]

I thought you were black.


As an aside nixon testified before congress in support of the civil rights act.

I may have been unclear in previous statements when I stated that I lived in an almost entirely black neighborhood. My wife, daughter, and myself are among the reasons for the qualifier "almost".

ah, similar to where i grew up.

[Ifreann]

*touches wood* don't jinxs something like that.

Don't worry, Ron Paul has a better chance of becoming King of England than President of the United States.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

*touches wood* don't jinxs something like that.

We do not need to know when you touch yourself.

Ok, you're Republican, am I right?

IS there a possibility of having Ron Paul as POTUS? IS this a good thing?

he isn't a bad roosevelt though. just a bit light on Teddy's racism. Hamm was much quicker.
