HAHAH OMFG YOU DID NOT JUST

Oh wow sorry, I was cramming for an exam my bad Buddy :)

Last I checked saying 'I' in a sentence is stating your own view not a fact. Not all marriages can be saved and sometimes divorce is necessary.

You're a Idiot.

Holy shit, this is the most extreme case of geek flirting I've seen. It always starts with a war....

Can you guys get a room already HAHA

They didn't criticise divorce, it's simply a personal choice.

Two kinds of people ^^

HAHA no offense but even Australians know Florida is the retirement state :)

Well that's exactly my point, you don't have consistent ballot systems. Not to mention the parties in powers are in charge of re distribution which keeps the door open for gerrymandering. I just think it doesn't really make for a democratic process specially in comparison with Australia.

Everyone on funsubstance sighs and rolls their eyes 'ahh guests'

'Pokethebear' thanks so much for your coherent response. Well in Australia we have the AEC, which is funded by the government but nobody who works in the AEC is connected in anyway to government and the money is used independent of government control. It's not actually privately controlled but it's run by civil servants and volunteers (when I turn 18 I can volunteer to count ballots etc). Australia is very interesting because our constitution is actually pretty brief and most of our political system is based on conventions that have grown over time. But it works really effectively and elections are based on the three key principles of democracy; representation, accountability and participation.

Nuclear weapons are developed for war not to save the environment. You don't need a powerful army for environmental sustainability. The only reason America is in the Middle East right now is because it benefits them. They didn't need to go into Iraq in 2003 and affect generations of children with radiation and chemical weapons. Not to mention the land which will take hundreds of years to recover. That doesn't truly reflect a powerful country wanting to make climate change an international issue of importance.

I studied the American revolution and the creation of the new society and understand that the states feared tyranny, therefore they formed a system that would keep most things state controlled. But wouldn't it be better to have a independent statutory authority that is government funded but not government controlled? Like in Australia the AEC is completely independent. Ps: sorry for being extremely annoying with my questions, I'm a curious soul.
