Democracy is a continuum, and we trade individual rights for collective benefits, like making healthcare and education free (and compulsory) for a better society. Americans just didn't read the contract and individuals are now fucked over in favour of the state and its oligarchs. You can disagree with me if you're an anarcho-syndicalist but my comparison relates to current, existing democracies (e.g. Belgium, Australia)

I don't get upset about people not voting, I just believe democracy works better in countries where voting is compulsory. Also, a much easier change that few would oppose is that election day should be on the weekend. Well, the Jews and Christians might fight it out, but they both suck.

Nobody's making the obvious suggestion to chemically sterilise all athletes.

Dude, it's a party politics problem really, compounded by corrupt electoral bullshit like the electoral college, gerrymanderind and malapportionment. The two party nominees at any election have never been the parties' best and/or brightest.

My blood runs cold! My dignity has just been sold. nVidia is the centerfold.

No it isn't, there's no implication of that. Just that they won't reproduce until they see it happening.

Thanks for the evidence, will have a look.

They're more powerful and influential than you think - they're not going anywhere. They might change their policies to suit the times (remember Lincoln was a Republican) but the so-called "Grand Old Party" ain't going nowhere unfortunately.

"What's wrong with me, Doc?" "Well, you look like a fag, and your shit's all retarded."

It really means the bosses can't preside over a culture of fear quite so well if people aren't cowering outside their offices seeking their attention. They like to be the centre of attention and work being done remotely makes them feel just as meaningless as the rank and file workers.

Using a stun gun on a compliant driver isn't acceptable
