Greed and corruption is not partisan, it is political and pervades in both parties. Power and manipulation is their motivation and not public service for the good of the Country.

Not that it adds anything to the discussion, but the plural of thief is spelled thieves.

Every homosapien from every walk of life has been a liar,cheat or thief one time or another.

The word I don't see used around here is "Hypocrite".

My choice was not there...the answer is obvious...

Call them a Politician and elect them to office.

I kind of have to wonder what the point of this thread is, other than discussion for the pleasure of it. Every person in the world is or has;

1) Lied
2) Cheated
3) Stole

or

4) Denied that assertion, and so is placed in category 1


Lawyers come to mind as paragons of all 4, though. Interesting that "Seeing justice done" and "acting on behalf of the people" are so profitable:hmm:

Maybe that's why so many politicians are/were lawyers:hmm:


As always, a few words of caution on behalf of liberty;

"A good liar is the most trustworthy type of person on earth.......as far you know"

The point of the thread was that Subman likes to bait people. Makes him feel like a man.

Is that such a bad thing? Expressing one's views and a little healthy debate is a good thing, IMO. At the very least, the exposure to others' views, no matter the subject, can't hurt as long as they are expressed in a civil manner.


Even as I read your post and typed my reply, this thread began to present the issues of freedom of expression. Sub has the right to say whatever he wishes within the community guidelines. People who disrespect others' views or act in an abrasive manner are disdained by others, and can be banned, so where's the harm?

Personally, I agree with SUBMAN1 on many issues, to varying degrees, and disagree, to varying degrees, on others.

Whatever the motives of the OP, in any thread, we can only benefit by sharing our views in a respectful manner, no?

Here is the OP

Quote:
Not a nice bunch of people I would say.

Anyway, just kind of curious as to what people think of this type of group?
That's a question, not an opinion. And it's a baiting question, designed to let Subman make some absurd point or another. As for a respectful manner, this is not how tho OP operates. If you disagree, you are either A) stupid or B) using sources of bias.

For these same reasons, there is no "healthy debate" with the OP. Feel free to pour over many of the OP's previous threads. I think you'll find my assessment is accurate.
