You know, that phrase... "Oh, you're from *Texas*"... we carry it with pride in South Africa

2019-12-13 06:44:55 UTC  

Those dumb fuckers see a picture of a gun and they piss their pants.

2019-12-13 06:45:16 UTC  

It means my meat is bigger than yours

2019-12-13 06:45:29 UTC  

Yes, I think you absolutely should carry that with pride..."that's right, asshole, I *AM* from SA!"

2019-12-13 06:45:34 UTC  

lmao

2019-12-13 06:45:37 UTC  

true

2019-12-13 06:45:54 UTC  

lol

2019-12-13 06:46:07 UTC  

I wanted to give you another link

2019-12-13 06:46:19 UTC  

cool

2019-12-13 06:46:34 UTC  

I read this for only the first time tonight, when the conversation began long ago.

2019-12-13 06:46:41 UTC  

but it seems to be mostly correct

2019-12-13 06:47:08 UTC  

It could be much stronger, but it still makes a few good points.

2019-12-13 06:47:14 UTC  

I have heard of CATO... can't recall though

2019-12-13 06:47:28 UTC  

same here

2019-12-13 06:47:43 UTC  

I don't know if it's the same CATO that I have in my mind.

2019-12-13 06:48:09 UTC  

but the whole concept of Democracy versus Republic...

2019-12-13 06:48:20 UTC  

>>> *"Most people, including most Americans, would be surprised to learn that the word "democracy" does not appear in the Declaration of Independence (1776) or the Constitution of the United States of America (1789)."*

2019-12-13 06:48:22 UTC  

No, CATO Institute... I know I heard that... it rings in my ears

2019-12-13 06:48:28 UTC  

yeah, that does

2019-12-13 06:48:41 UTC  

I have read that before

2019-12-13 06:48:48 UTC  

I don't recall if CATO Institute is left or right. I'll have to check.

2019-12-13 06:49:19 UTC  

...about "Democracy" not being said

2019-12-13 06:49:39 UTC  

not your link, someone read it to me

2019-12-13 06:50:08 UTC  

The founding fathers of the USA absolutely did *NOT* want the USA to *EVER* become a democracy, because that is mob rule, which is *PRECISELY* what the founding fathers wanted to avoid.

2019-12-13 06:50:34 UTC  

understood (your last statement)

2019-12-13 06:50:58 UTC  

The part I like, "Instead of considering the Founders' documents with our present views, biases and prejudices, he focuses on their essential, original meaning."

2019-12-13 06:51:13 UTC  

Agreed

2019-12-13 06:51:21 UTC  

I am currently doing my own study... It's about the Boers and Afrikaners

2019-12-13 06:51:33 UTC  

People want to group them together

2019-12-13 06:51:50 UTC  

And people today are still angry because of past events

2019-12-13 06:51:53 UTC  

Like I said, I have never put eyes on that document prior to about 1 hour ago, and I quickly skimmed it for content. It does seem to be correct, and I haven't read a mistake yet.

2019-12-13 06:52:10 UTC  

Oh boy, the Boers...

2019-12-13 06:52:23 UTC  

Not today's Boers\

2019-12-13 06:52:52 UTC  

It's all about understanding the context of the past by actually walking around in that time zone

2019-12-13 06:53:01 UTC  

they have many commercials on TV here (or at least they did 4+ years ago) about De Beers diamonds...

2019-12-13 06:53:17 UTC  

I hated those commercials.

2019-12-13 06:53:21 UTC  

Owned by the Oppenheimers

2019-12-13 06:53:28 UTC  

+1

2019-12-13 06:53:49 UTC  

👍

2019-12-13 06:53:51 UTC  

De Beers was used because of the farmers name who owned the farm
