Locked.
Funny, that was posted in another thread when it was about English politics. Yet when it comes to the US congress....
Perhaps the thread that got locked was devolving into a heated debate replete with RUDE name calling, and innuendo. You Brits are crazy like that.
Unlike us Americans, when we discuss politics we behave in a civil fashion. We POLITELY call each other names, and we qualify any innuendo we make.
Brits: "You stinking cur!"
Americans: "You, sir, are a stinking cur."
Brits: You sleep with goats!"
Americans: "I've heard that you sleep with goats."
See the difference? Try to conduct your political discussions American style and you'll suffer fewer thread locks.
(Tongue in cheek. All of it.)

I have and it should have a score system and be broadcast as a sport. |

I'm not sure which part is worse, the fact that we have gotten to the point where we have "trial by media" as Graygor perfectly put it, or the fact that it exists because both the broadcasters and the audience largely believe it's entertainment. People are quick to judge those on trial; forming their own opinions that are popularized by not just media "newscasts" but facebook, twitter, youtube, and any other method for Joe Random to get likes on their point of view. I wonder how entertaining this would be for people if they had to watch the sentence for those on trial. I don't mean the feel good of watching the guy be pronounced guilty... I mean sitting in and watching the guy get strapped to the table before a lethal injection or to watch him melt away in prison --either to watch his former life slip away day by day or simply to be shived violently in the shower. Anyway, I now return you to the thread already in progress. With the way we keep churning out "reality shows"... I would not be suprised to see one following some convict's execution proceedings. Hell, they could make a season out it...
Season starts out introducing the potential convicts. While the season evolves we become privy to their trials in jail, including their attempts for a stay of exocution. The season finale would cover either the execution itself or the perps possible release. To mix it up some... add in some viewer participation, a-la American Idol type stuff. Let the viewers decide!
Go ahead... Get your-áWham on!!! |
