Board 8 > Lasa/Red Sox Containment Topic 1 [red sox] [circular arguments]

(+) Yeah! (+)

The people in the Politics Containment topic were having a problem with my arguments with red sox over there, so to not be a nuisance to them I will channel those arguments to this topic. Of course non-red sox people are welcome to join in, too!

Long live the Electoral College, the fount of freedom and democracy. Why has France gone through 17 different constitutional systems since their revolution while the US has had the same one since 1789? Because our brilliant founding fathers created the Electoral College to divide power among the states while in France, they believed that a majority of the nation should be all-powerful. They never did learn their lesson, even after French governments failed over and over and over.

the US is also a gazillion times bigger than france, though. kind of an apples and oranges comparison.

Biggest mistake the National Convention made was setting up in Paris. It ended with the Paris mob storming the Convention and basically dictating to the Convention what they would do.

Song for the Soviet Union (I mean Russia) vs. Spain match:

United forever in friendship and labor
Our mighty republics will ever endure
The great Soviet Union will live through the ages
The dream of a people, their fortress secure

Long live our Soviet motherland
Built by the people's mighty hand
Love live our people united and free
Strong in a friendship tried by fire
Long may our crimson flag inspire
Shining in glory for all men to see

Through days dark and stormy while great Lenin led us
Our eyes saw the bright sun of freedom above
And Putin the leader with faith in the people
Inspired us to build up the land that we love

We fought for the future, destroyed the invader
And brought to our homeland the laurels of fame
Our glory will live in the memory of nations
And all generations will honor our name

This topic is going places.

Anthem was successful in getting the first Russian goal, so let's see if another USSR song can bring a second! The USA Republican Party and USSR Communist Party share the color red, they are natural allies!

Apple trees and pear trees went into blooming,
River mists began a floating flow,
She came out and went ashore, Katyusha!
On the lofty bank, on the steeply shore.

She came out and sang the song about
Her young friend, the bluish eagle from steppe
All about the one she dearly loved,
The one whose letters she treasured and kept.

Hey, a song, the song of the young girl,
Fly and go after the bright Sun,
Find a soldier on the distant borderlands
Say hello from Katyusha waiting long for him.

Let him remember the young and simple maiden,
Let him hear the song she now sings,
Let him protect his Motherland for sure,
And their love Katyusha will protect.

Russia wins! Putin gonna be subbed on in 95th minute of the final, riding a bear, and score the winning goal.

I will have you know that I have solved all the classic problems of man. First, we must elect only the finest of scholars. Second, we must raise the taxes to 107% to ensure optimum fiscal performance. And finally, we must eliminate any and all regulations pertaining to pet ownership.
