    I once had that song stuck in my head for the longest time.

    Then again just about any song can get stuck in my head for the longest time if I can hear the lyrics clearly.

    all you do is sit in Canada and write hatemail to the US

    goddamnit, this is so counterproductive

    if you're going to be complacent like this, you only further illustrate the need for someone like teefs

    are you trying to make an expatriate complainer into a hero

    because I don't think you're going to have a lot of success here

    Schools, foundations of HORRIBLE MISOGYNISTIC WHITE LIBERAL BRAINWASHING.

    That's how this tangent came up, right?

    Anyway, would it really be possible for me to take 3 languages next semester (Latin, German, and Old English)? I'm thinking I should leave the Old English until I get past exit level Latin.

    One dead language at a time.

    Teefs I don't get it, do you think rights per se are dumb and awful

    or just that they're a joke because they're never upheld and respected the way they should be?
    I think the concept is that there are no natural rights (as defined by "enlightenment" thinking).

    All rights are guaranteed within a sociological/cultural structure.

    it's pretty cool how jurisprudence evolved when people realized that and modern American law reflects that reality

    but I agree it's pretty dumb to think the answer to the question "what was the point of the declaration of independence" to be "natural rights theory"

    Modern law partially reflects this.

    Unfortunately, libertarians still exist.

    During Kurt Godel's American Citizenship hearing he started explaining to the judge that he had found a loophole in the constitution that would allow a president to legally turn the US into a dictatorship but the judge was a friend of his and was like 'WELL YES ANYWAY YOU GOT A CITIZENSHIP, HOORAY!'

    like, for example, education

    why wouldn't you make all your schools as good as they can possibly be and make it easier for lower income people to get into good colleges

    everyone in the country benefits from a smarter populace

    same with healthcare

    everyone benefits from a healthier populace as well

    but too many people associate the word "benefits" with the word "money"

    and that is a shame

    Yeah, but a lot of the bullshit and shenanigans would likely be related to European countries or America fucking with them

    I agree with this completely, but I think we should keep the private university system in place and attempt to expand public options as far as possible without compromising too much on the quality of the really top-end ones, because the system we used produced a lot of really top fucking notch research universities and top-notch graduate programs in a way that the many other systems hasn't.
