TIL that King George V was the first cousin of first cousin of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany

I was trying to read about their linage but I don't get it.

Who were their mothers and how did this even happen?

I was under the impression that they were all rather distinct kingdoms. Where was the junction of their genealogy?

As a black redditor and someone who voted for Obama (actually voted hillary in the primary) I really think this is the case.

Now, I really am confused by his reluctance to admit his atheism, his support for the expansion of the military industrial complex (would have happened anyways), the financial collapse (damned if you do...damned if you don't), and other initiatives to erase civil liberities (government is getting scary no matter who is in charge) but the fact still remains clear to me that there are MANY things that people hate about Obama and none of it seems to be about the things I just mentioned.

People still think he is: Kenyan, Muslim, socialist, communist, anti-christ, inexperienced, and all those other epithets and ad-hominems that have NOTHING to do with his performance in office.

I dare say that if Hillary had won it would be bad...but just not AS bad... Women would catch a lot of hell, but could you imagine a BLACK woman?

I mean I don't want to compare who has it worse in this country, but I think when it comes to defining the face of a nation with such a history in such a short period of time, there are clear and present undertones that everyone loves to sweep under the rug in the interest of being politically correct.

Its hard to criticize barack. On one hand, the guy is charming as shit. On the other hand he lacks a political back-bone that I think is rooted in the strategy of not stepping on more toes than necessary....he IS the "that" guy in the white house you know...

I think the 2nd Term of Obama will be what we voted for in 2008.

The GOP knows this too. Thats why they're all gearing up for 2016 so they can charm the shit out of the independents by returning to the class of conservatives that aren't villianized by the progressives.

I say all this to say this: Politically, Obama knows what he is doing.

Romney never said "geopolitical foe." He said "geo-strategic threat." Those are two entirely different national security concepts.

And both are wrong. Especially noting the type of fact and nuance you'd expect from a president.

I wonder if America would elect another black guy.

I'm too cynical about my country.

NO.

They had a compound in South GA that got raided a few years back.

The shit is VERY real.

If its not a science book, why does it offer opinion on accepted doctrine in the realm of science and philosophy?

That is to say, how do they know jesus/god did the miracles they claimed to perform?

Objective statement?

Mind_Virus · 2012-05-24T17:18:26.085430+00:00

If you made a law to prohibit this what would it say?

Former bank workers can not work in congress?

Lobbying WILL happen. Influence WILL be captured. Either through campaign donation, direct payment, or lavish trips. Lobbying will go down in various ways.

The question is, what suggestion do YOU have?

Again. I know this situation is fucked up...but it doesn't say anything about how we should limit employment to people especially if he was ELECTED.

Be careful talking about /r/christianity. They will ban you for even cross-linking.

You blaming the system doesn't address those who USE the system and have the power to CHANGE the system.

Learn the difference.

But if he really thought he had the ultimate truth of the universe and believed in the bible, then why would he challenge it?

OK...but you didn't answer the question.

Are you saying former bank employees shouldn't work in the government?

I'm just saying. If you're going to blame anyone, blame the constituents who voted the asshat in. Don't blame him for taking advantage of a system that doesn't limit his behavior.

Re-direct your anger more constructively.

You think science, logic and reason are sufficient tools to analyze the ineffable? Concepts like Love and God are absurd, illogical, irrational and cannot be measured by standardized analytical approaches.

...Yet.

We know more about the neural substrates of emotion now than we have ever before.

Ask this question in 100 years.

I'm not trying to justify my wild assertions...but it seems to me that based on my gay-dar...shep trips the sensors.
