Sober up and try again tomorrow, you're embarrassing yourself. Will you stop with this juvenile behavior, please. I've been civil, why can't you be? So this was being civil? No. It was your personality B coming out. I don't know if two people are using one account or if you have a drinking problem, or what's going on, but if you treat me like an asshole then I'll treat you like an asshole. You be civil and I'll be civil, it's that simple. The indigenous cultures that were in the New World when Europeans arrived were not the original cultures. It's well known, although somewhat squashed now, there were older indigenous cultures (also Asians) that were absorbed or replaced. For decades some archeologists, and now geneticists, have suggested there were multiple migrations that mixed with and occasionally replaced older cultures but it's un-PC in the sociology fields to say so. That’s ludicrous bullshit. But I like your attitude. Since the Injuns were interlopers onto that imaginary tribe of Asians in the name of the Great Gray Spirit, then Whites doing genocide on them in the name of God is permissible.

I’m having a witty, adult conversation, you want to sling childish monkey turds. Plus, that quote is not even from this conversation, so you’ve unfairly ripped the above out of context. However, whatever your opinion is of the EC, I agree with you 100%. You are right and I am wrong. I want your happiness to happen today.

You should take your own medicine about studying history, so you don't embarrass yourself and have to deflect with insults.

I dont even agree the states has free elections, I mean how many presidents get in when the majority of the population actually voted against them. Perhaps totalitarianism might not be great, honestly I am nt sure what is best, I am convinced though that there is very little in the way of actual democracy in the world. Proper democracy would be great, however . . . . The people do not elect American presidents, technically the president is elected by the states. The people elect their representatives, who make laws. The states elect the president, who enforces the law. The president assigns the Supreme Court that interprets the law. It's an elegant system with built in checks and balances that all have a purpose. It's elegant in the same way that my first year programming students create elegant code, that is to say not even a little bit.

(of a scientific theory or solution to a problem) pleasingly ingenious and simple. "the grand unified theory is compact and elegant in mathematical terms"

There is a Nancy that filled your head with the idea that it is bad because her political party leans on a strategy negated by the EC. I asked you politely why you thought it was inelegant and you were unable to answer or chose not to. We don't know each other, all you have on a forum is your ability to articulate your opinion and sincerity, otherwise you come off like a dunce or political bot. Your replies following my question showed neither sincerity nor thoughtfulness.

Fair enough I have to admit I was overly incredulous that you could calla two tiered system that stymies a lot of legislation, and a voting system that obfuscates the votes made by the people in any way shape or form elegant. Can you maybe explain why you think it is elegant??

And what programming language? Secondary, I teach python as the actual language, although I think I would prefer to teach something like java or c sharp
