I'd rather my representatives simply be smart enough to listen to their scientific advisors.

Would it not be better to just have the advisors run things directly, then? That would free up labor resources, and politicians could be employed where they actually belong: stand-up comedy.

The Orson Empire wrote:We'll Make China Great Again.

Our country is in serious trouble. We don't have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don't have them. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let's say, Rome in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat Rome all the time. All the time.

When did we beat Persia at anything? They send their chariots over by the hundreds, and what do we do? When was the last time you saw a Chinese chariot in Babylon? It doesn't exist, folks. They beat us all the time.

When do we beat Xiangho at the border? They're laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. But they're killing us economically.

China has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems.

Thank you. It's true, and these are the best and the finest. When Xiangho sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing weapons. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

What's cute is how he assumed Thalasinos- as a Messianic Jew (read: Christian Zionist, not a pure Jew) would instinctively know krav maga like how Chinese are supposed to know Kung Fu and how Japanese are supposed to know Karate or Ninjitsu.

Oh, those are horrible assumptions.
<sarcasm>
Informed people know that Japanese people automatically know judo if they're mostly samurai-class descent, ninjutsu if they're descended from a ninja clan, sumo if they're fat, and karate otherwise. (Aikido, being of recent vintage, has to be taught, it hasn't been bred into any major sub-population yet.) *sage nodding* And saying that Chinese people all know kung fu is a gross oversimplification, like saying that all Chinese people speak Chinese - every Chinese person knows the appropriate local strain of kung fu based on the geography of their breeding, and those different kinds of kung fu are as different from one another This is why kung fu movies always bring up who is whose father, uncle, et cetera - China spent hundreds of generations carefully breeding for genetic knowledge of the best form of kung fu, the way that the AKC carefully breeds for funny-shaped skulls and bad posture.

Hell, you can say High School Musical is Romeo and Juliet with a Disney ending, again, making it more accessible to students.


Fris would have declared Romeo's killing of Tybalt non-actionable, though.
