Reply to comment by dog_superiority in [OC] How democratic are F1 venues over the years? by alison359

And frankly the founding father were probably great guys with great ideas, but if your political views and project are the same as people 300 years ago, let's face it they probably suck. You know what made founding father interesting figures ? They wanted novelty, innovation, new ideas. You're doing the exact opposite clinging to a 300 years old text, and that is betraying their very spirit. And considering the political innovation spirit those guys showed, they'd be ashamed to see people use their names to prevent any change and adaptation to the current times and problematics. They did the exact opposite.

Wait, you think that democracy is NEWER than what the Founding Fathers came up with? HAHAHAHAHA

Not democracy. Assault weapon are newer, require new laws. Universal healthcare is newer. Same sex marriage. Ban on all racial laws. Many, many things are newer, require new laws, new way to function. Abortion. But no, "tHe FOunDiNg FatErs DidN't PuT It In de CONstiTUtiOn"

You need to read up on the Constitution. It doesn't require that every law be written in the constitution itself.

I don't need to read the Constitution.

First, it's a 300 years old document that is widely obsolete because of it's age. It could be much better if some violently backward dickheads didn't refuse to update it for the last 50 years (one update in 50 years. One. 30 years ago, when Internet was some lab experiment that grew).

Second, I'm not a US citizen, so I'll simply let you buy bulletproof backpack for your kids and put aside 10 000 $ either to pay your health insurance or in case you would brake you ankle someday, and go do something more productive with my time.

Just kidding. I'll keep browsing Reddit.

The rest I wasn't kidding.I know it's not original as a take on the US, but there is a very good reason everyone make the same take : it unbelievable considering how much money you have. Half your population lives like third world when you have one of the highest GDP per capita in the world.

You not only need to read the constitution, you need to read up on economics.
