I would, but that is exactly the kind of thing i try to remove from, what started out as intellegent, topics :)

I don't need to support my position, people posting in the "Punching bag" topic and all those here who get offeneded by implications that they would love to own slaves (you don't call that insulting?) are doing it for me

"international and geopolitical conditions change - and you NEED TO TAKE IT ALL IN CONSIDERATION." - Agreed. However, that does not and should not mean that we trounce or violate our Constitution to achieve necessary results.
"That's why the Constitution is amended so many times - IT WAS NOT PERFECT THE FIRST TIME AROUND." - Agreed, but only partially. It is difficult to define "so many times" unless you do so in the context of time and in comparison with other, similar documents. During the same period of time (230+ years) most of the countries not only have amended their constitutions multiple times - they have REWRITTEN them multiple times.
And most of those "editions" were in fact based on the original AMERICAN CONSTITUTION, I might add.
So 27 amendments in total (first 10 a.k.a. The Bill of Rights, which was adopted at the very beginning) can not in all honesty be considered as "amended so many times".

Согласен, хотя мне чу-у-у-точку интересно каким образом представители Party of Lincoln автоматически зачисляются в поклонники торговли рабами. Логики мало.

Men in white sheets belonged to Party of Lincoln now?
------------------------------------------------------------
to the present day "Party of Lincoln"

well, obviously... the mistake that many here seem to share is that they believe that it's still the same party... Lincoln must be spinning in his grave

Lina, just of curiosity, do you realize how insulting you're being and just don't care or are you being malicious on purpose?

Insulting? I was simply answering Oleg's question: "Согласен, хотя мне чу-у-у-точку интересно каким образом представители Party of Lincoln автоматически зачисляются в поклонники торговли рабами. Логики мало."

No, of course it's notinsulting to accuse ALL Republicans, including those visiting this site,of being racist slave owner wannabes - how can that be insulting???
Or at least that's how Lina's warped mind thinks. (md) (md) (md)
