Let me try to explain.
You were born alone, and you will die alone.
But some people will pretend that you are locked into some contract whereby you have to choose one of them to make sure you are safe from others and yourself.
They say and do anything to perpetuate this belief as this is where their income comes from. We call them politicians.
That's a pretty cynical way of looking at it and quite argumentative.

Others would argue that politicians are there to represent the people of whom voted them in to office. And are there to create laws, rules and regulations that protect the society they represent. So that, for example, people who hate others based on skin color or sexual orientation aren't allowed to discriminate or otherwise harass or cause harm to those they offend. Or perhaps provide protections to those not in a power position against those that are.

But you live in South Africa, so I'm not sure how politics is "done" there.

You could also watch the public portfolio meeting from yesterday.
You have never seen your politicians grilled like this in public

I don't really have time to watch the videos right now but can you tell me was the grill a Weber or Charbroil , charcoal or gas ( I'm guessing gas if they were indoors ).




Ohh how's the fingers heeling up?

What you said sounds good in theory.
Ever heard of Donald Trump? Paul Ryan? Grassley? The Turtle?

Shameless whores, all of em. :finger:

Well yea, I was going to add that, but I figured it was clearly assumed.

Once we can get money out of politics and dump the whores that have taken over the WH, House and Senate, we can get back to something slightly normal.

It'd be nice if the United States followed a similar political discourse as shown in the youtube video you've alluded to.
