Random Politics & Religion #00
Valefor.Endoq said: » This is also why we need to put a term limit on ALL political seats. Why would only the president have a limit on number of terms served? Political office should not be a life long position of power. This sort of thing is not much different than being a king. And it's not like once elected, they are there for life. They still need to be reelected once every 2 or 6 years, depending on the job. President has a whole lot more power than any one person in Congress.

Especially when he takes every opportunity he can to bypass Congress.

On my phone but I can quote that later, if you'd like. And, no, King. That's not how it works. 95% is the standard for a lot of experiments, but Floppy seemed to be referencing the entirety of anthropomorphic climate change research as if it were a single hypothesis with 95% confidence. I highly doubt that's the case. To the defenders of the religion, that's nearly 100% (97%), while us realists understand that it's more like 17% (97% x 63% x 28%). Point that out to the zealots, and you suddenly become a denier. That's... not how math works. I guess either you are trolling (highly likely) or you are a byproduct of the American education system and are trying to prove how failed the system really is... If you are a billionaire you have more important things to worry besides hair.

Going bald is a problem for rich people. Case in point:

I have yet to meet a woman that cares more about hair than money.
Bahamut.Ravael said: » Odin.Jassik said: » What is this "my side" horsecrap? I've never voted for a Democrat in a national election and would never vote for a candidate by party affiliation. I've said I like Sanders, which I do, for his honesty and refusal to play with PACs, not for his sociopolitical views. Which are coincidentally the same reason I despise trump. You have a very consistent record of defending claims made against Democrats and attacking Republicans. You claim there are legitimate problems with certain Democrat leaders, but only ever mention them when pressed. You freely insult Republican leaders on a regular basis. I can't go off of how you vote or how you see yourself, I can only go off of the dynamics of your posts in these forums. If you want to shake the stigma of partisanship, you have to actually try instead of making us take your word for it. He claims that he took the time to go write-in Mickey Mouse last election. *cough*****cough* He hammers the 'right' side of every issue then when he loses every debate he says 'well I haven't given my actual point of view' like he's Socrates or something.

I'm still pretty sure you would not have said that if Bush was still president....

Asura.Floppyseconds said: » He also would not have won a third term. So I am pretty safe sticking to my belief on that one. Obama has a rather subpar approval rating for a president in his last year. I highly doubt that he would win a 3rd term either. Clinton probably would have, and so would Reagan.

Obama's 27th quarter - 46% Bush's 27th - 35% Average president 27th - 51% Gallup. Were you trying to prove me wrong or something? Par is another term for average. 51% is average. Obama is at 46%, therefore he is sub par. Comparing him to dubya isn't doing you any favors. Clinton's and Reagan's numbers were in the 60s, and H.W. Bush was at 56% and he still lost reelection.

Asura.Floppyseconds said: » EDIT: Obama's term average - 47% Reagan's term average - 52% Yeah, and Jimmy Carter averaged 45.5%. You're not making your case very well, and average doesn't mean squat for reelection compared to the final term percentages.

Asura.Floppyseconds said: » Not bad for a black man who instituted an extremely controversial healthcare measure, has a third the country thinking he is a Muslim, and had even Trump asking for his birth certificate. Asura.Floppyseconds said: » I can say a ***sandwich or a condemned house is sub par, but it has no context or meaning. This is a freaking percentage, it isn't some subjective nonsense. His approval rating fits the very definition of sub par. You're having a defend-o-bot cpu overload, let it go.

Also never mind that Bush had an approval rating of 90 once also.
