General Election 2015

[Kirkland Laing]

Apart from black people who only count as 3/5ths of a white person according to the US constitution.

Which article and clause would I find that in if you would be so kind?


Also you didn't answer my question: phyletic gradualism or punctuated equilibrium? Thanks

Article I, Section 2 use to have a line that read, "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons."

It did't specifically say "black men", but said if you were not a free person, nor Indian, you were 3/5 of a person.

It was later replaced by Section 2 of the 14th Amendment: "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed."

Oh it didn't SPECIFICALLY say black people....so I reckon you're wrong. Shame that

Also phyletic gradualism or punctuated equilibrium? Still waiting on your answer for that but take your time, study up

I'm not wrong at all. Read a little about your history and find out why your constitution had to make black people 3/5ths of a white person. Also, too, slavery. Apart from the fact that it allowed slavery and for slaves not to be counted as human beings the US constitution was a triumph of equal rights and a shining example to the rest of humanity.

And just because you learnt a new couple of big words doesn't mean you understand what you're talking about. So I'll just wait until you finally fully accept that Al Gore was right and that inevitably you were wrong.

Ahem....you said and I quote "Apart from black people who only count as 3/5ths of a white person according to the US constitution" ...... that was NOT the case and NEVER the case ergo you are wrong!



Meanwhile...in the realm of unanswered questions
Phyletic gradualism or Punctuated equilibrium....the world waits

I see. So all those slaves had exactly the same rights as every other person in America. That's an interesting take on American history and not one shared by many historians.

[Kirkland Laing]

And when you use a word like "phyletic" do you really think that people reading it who know you believe you know what you're talking about or do you think they start giggling?

So 100% of black people were slaves? If you hopped in a time machine and told that to Anthony Johnson I'm certain he would be shocked.

And when you use a word like "phyletic" do you really think that people reading it who know you believe you know what you're talking about or do you think they start giggling?

Aww honey, if the question was too complex and you wanted me to break it down for you then you should have just asked princess....I didn't mean to bruise your ego.

Come here Kirkland, sit on my knee and let me tell you a story.....you see phyletic gradualism is a slow drawn out dare I say GRADUAL (see where that comes from, GRADUAL-ism....oooh we're learning...it's fun!) process where an organism undergoes changes in order to best adapt to the challenges the environment presents it with. After a while these changes lead the organism to become an entirely different species from it's ancestors. Kind of like the way some dinosaurs are believed to have slowly and steadily developed into birds.

Now on the other hand we have punctuated equilibrium which is a quick dynamic form of evolution happening over a short period of time where an organism quickly separates from it's ancestors into an entirely different species.

....but I interrupted you....you were being condescending

Conservatives offering 'a good life' for all

David Cameron has said his aim is to guarantee a "good life" for British workers and families as he launched the Conservatives' election manifesto.

The prime minister said he wanted "to finish the job" of rebuilding Britain on behalf of "working people".

He pledged to pass a law to keep minimum wage workers out of tax, double free childcare to 30 hours a week and boost "right to buy" home ownership.

Labour said the Conservatives were the "party of the richest in society".

The Conservative launch in Swindon came the day after Ed Miliband put forward Labour's version - promising to improve the lives of Britain's workers and not to pay for any policies through additional borrowing.

In his speech, Mr Cameron said the Conservatives would build on the "solid foundations" laid by his government since 2010, proclaiming that Britain was "on the brink of something special" and warning that Labour would take the UK "back to square one".

"We are the party of the working people offering you security at every stage of your life," he said.
His goal over the next five years, he said, was to "turn the good news on our economy into a good life for you and your family".

"They're about realising the potential of Britain, not as a debt-addicted, welfare-burdened, steadily declining, once great nation, which is what we found. But a country where a good life is there for everyone willing to work for it."

the stench of manure from those last two posts is overwhelming.

[Kirkland Laing]

All the main parties are running sanitised campaigns where they agree not to target each other over the thing that British people have as number one on their list of issues to be dealt with, immigration. They don't want to give Ukip the oxygen.

So the entire campaign is reduced to ridiculous photo opportunities where the politicians pretend they're like normal people.



Look! I got my hands dirty!

[Master]

I would not bee too cynical and gloomy. Labour will adjust to the centre ground to appeal to the Lib Dem (and Alan Sugar) voters by having pro business, take back disillusioned voters that went to UKIP by being strong on immigration and take back Scotland by saying SNP is a wasted vote. They need to choose a strong leader for the 5 years ahead.

They should be arrested and put on community service as well as being put on an asbo. Proper cunts.

They don't listen to the tens of millions of people who didn't vote for them, why would they care about an asbo. It would just be a status symbol for the likes of them.
