Yeah, it's this absolutely fucked thing that conservatives do... they say 'No, I have no issues with gays, or muslims, or evolution or whatever' only because they know that it's regarded as homophobic, racists or anti-logic. They DO have issues, they DO have issues with them, but the pussy foot around actually saying it, and just legislate against such things.

Well, that's what some of them do.

What other people do is they really DON'T have any issue with those things but vote against them due to fear of losing the ultra-conservative vote.

There was a time, way back, when Hockey and Rudd (before he was prime minister) used to face off against each other on a morning show each week... and I didn' t mind him then, he seemed ok.

But the more I hear him, the more I see he really is a conservative dick who thinks the rich should keep their money, the gays should be out of sight, and anyone who is poor is such due to their own fault.

Don't like him

Fixed, thanks!

his reaction seems genuine. I do believe he didn't know


I wonder if they did it in rehearsal, or swapped it out?

Umm, isn't that the very definition of democracy? Getting the most votes, one person one vote.
So is the UK not a democracy? Canada? Australia? Germany? France? All have a head of government who is not elected by one person, one vote. In any of those cases, it's quite possible to choose a prime minister not favored by a majority. There are different flavors of democracy, some of them pre-dating the US, many of which do not directly elect their executives by one-person, one-vote.
The philosophical point of democracy is to best represent the will of the majority. In the US, we have the additional task of doing so while protecting the rights of the minority. The best way to do that is not always one-person, one-vote.
And like I said: even if you abolish the electoral college you still don't get the will of the majority, since there are many people who cannot legally vote and many others who choose not to.


Yes, they are democratic systems built on the principle of democracy. However, "equality and freedom have both been identified as important characteristics of democracy since ancient times" (from the Wiki). Most modern democratic systems are not equal.

Btw, a person who chooses not to vote does in fact cast a vote, a vote to abstain. Because they choose to exclude themselves from the process does not mean they weren't given their democratic right to have their say.

As an Australian, I'd prefer a Prime Minister voted in by popular vote. During the last term, the sitting PM Kevin Rudd was deposed and replaced by Julia Gillard in an internal coup due to his poor polling results (ie. it was looking like Rudd was riding the Labor party in to the ground). They replaced him as party leader which also meant he was no longer PM. That was not democratic in the slightest. At the following election, Julia Gillard won government by securing the votes of independents/crossbenchers, but achieved less of the popular vote than Tony Abbott from the Liberal party. Incidentally, voting in Australia is compulsory and you're fined if you don't show up (so much for that 'freedom' principle)

Our system is built on democratic principles, and is a form of democracy, but it's far removed from the method used by the Greeks who coined the term (Demos = "people", kratos "people"). The US electoral college is in the same boat. Someone said it earlier, the founding fathers didn't trust the average moron to get it right and put in a system to leave the true voting to 'wiser' minds.

When you can achieve 50+% of the EC votes for less than 20% of the popular vote, the system is broken, end of story. Keeping the EC seems more a matter of convenience (eg. "there will be too much rorting", it'll be too hard, waaah etc) than a matter of fairness.

What movie is that at 7 minutes in with Paul Rudd and (I think) Elisabeth Banks?

Great tags btw. Paul Rudd is fantastic.

Uh... Is it possible that I'm missing something, or am I just foreign dotard?

I just thought it was funny/quirky. I never watched the Tim & Eric show before. Paul Rudd is one of those kooky everyman personality types I wish I could get away with in my own little slice of reality. haha.


Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the oddball humour, but it has a lot more votes than I would've expected, which made me think it was related to something else.
