O/T:- Betting odds for US Election [The USA Politics Thread]

[Lullapie]

I am not bothered about left and right especially when used only as a derogatory term for someone who doesn’t agree with you.

I am bothered about truth though which seems in short supply today.

There was a theme during the US Election, touted by the Republicans. I'm not sure if you heard it or even saw it, but the theme was that it used to be that if someone tried something and failed, you picked yourself up, dust yourself down and got on with it. The Republicans said that the current climate was that if you failed, it wasn't through lack of experience or mistakes that you made, it was because you were a victim. You had the right to feel aggrieved with someone else, be it or person or something that had happened in history because it was THEIR fault not yours.

There were no derogatory terms used, I was pointing out why the world is moving to the right and why those that hang on to their outdated doctrines have been left behind.



What truth are you missing anyway? I don't understand your comment.

You also have obviously read what I wrote but ignored the question I asked directly to you. Was it too complicated or are you citing the fifth?

Do you believe that an individual using their position of power to authorise the murder of someone, is reason for them to be prosecuted? Yes or no answer please.
