[QUOTE="Lollerskates, post: 63813353, member: 330186"] Wait for it.... Wait for it.... Wait for it.... We agree on something :). At least, I think we do. Concerning your points, I have problems with American politics in regards to elections and "scandals." It is, I believe at least tangentially close to your points mentioned. To me, the Anthony Wiener/Carlos Danger saga is ridiculous. Last time I checked, Wiener was a human; humans make mistakes and mess up most all of the time. What really get me sort of angry is how the general public will vilify Wiener's shenanigans so much so that he loses a race, or resigns hypocritically. It is an anthem that the "government is corrupt." Yet, the masses expect pristine-perfect candidates to choose from. It is especially contradictory when campaigns (whether running for mayor, governor, senator, or president) follow the narrative of a "wholesome, near flawless" candidate that will somehow save the day. It is actually a Marxist to believe a "superman" will save us all and solve all of our problems. The hypocrisy comes in when people demand a politician running for office be "near perfect," yet the same armchair critics can - with fervor - assert that "the government is corrupt, and the people in Congress are corrupt." Why, then, would you think someone who is at least open to his scandals (no matter how they came about) is unworthy of a political position when the masses "know all politicians are crooks." It screams hypocrisy. To me, I am rather dark - so Bruce Wayne/Batman and Anthony Wiener/Carlos Danger show me that humans aren't so perfect. But, if Wiener actually has resonating political talking points, I don't see why his peen pics matter politically. Also, since America (and most of the Western world) is [B]secular[/B], a non-Christian president shouldn't be scoffed. I am not advocating it, but I am about complete freedoms [of speech.] [/QUOTE]
