Once again, you're "feeling," and not thinking.
If I weren't thinking, I would be one of your kind. The problem is, my thinking is having you accept that your issue with socialism begins with diversity. In a homogenous society, you believe it can work. And so did some special characters we've already discussed in this thread.

One people, one religion, one culture, one race, one language... and we all hold hands and dance.

Um... aren't you all the ones pointing to homogeneous Scandinavian societies and saying, "But socialism works there."?

Note that it mentions nothing about whether the Constitution is an outdated document or not.

I'm not the one who believes that rules for socialism are different depending on the make up of the society. That would be you.

You're making me wonder if you know how to use links. So, I will paste the exchange instead:

Hot_Handz: Taking words from men that lived 200+ years ago and had relatively myopic visions....and using a arbitrary empty box like the Constitution to fill up with your emotions with is NOT cutting it in todays world.

Informed Consent: Exactly the problem. Liberals don't think; they emote. They let irrational "feelings" control their thoughts and behaviors.

Right wing awesomeness at display.

Aren't you all the ones pointing out that socialism works in homogeneously populated Scandinavia while it hasn't worked so far in the U.S.? Social Security and Medicare can't meet their unfunded liabilities, remember?

Can you really not comprehend that I was commenting on the "to fill up with your emotions" part? Really? When I SPECIFICALLY stated the word "emote" in my response?

Reading is fundamental.

Wait... you probably don't know what "emote" means. That would explain a lot.

Well, someone being emotional wouldn't notice what he/she is agreeing to, and quite remarkably in an emphatic manner... "Exactly the problem".

I did notice what I was agreeing to... the senselessness and futility of trying to make emotions rule a specifically limiting founding document.

Diversity is a loaded term....

And it doesn't mean that you don't agree with Socialisms forced association based on race or ethnicity.

It's common sense that socialism would work better in a homogenous society. You can't deny that the disproportionate number of blacks on welfare is an ongoing contentious issue. That is not to say there aren't legitimate reasons for this. But, right or wrong, it wouldn't be an issue in a homogenous society. Racism exists no matter how hard we try to stamp it out while retaining a diverse society. Simply not having any diversity is a solution. It's a wrongheaded one in my opinion, but it is a solution. And the less xenophobic reaction someone has to another person, the more willing that person is going to be to help that person. You eliminate the "I hate welfare, all them blacks are taking my money" objection.

And yet, ignored it to "agree" with a ditto-head.

No, diversity isn't a loaded term unless you see it as a burden...

If the age of consent was lowered to 13...

And 51% of the population agreed with it and 49% didn't....

Would you accept it in the name of "diversity"??

Or would the potential issue of seeing somebody marry and impregnate your 13 year old daughter be a "burden" to you?
