Don't know if you could class it as whacky, but it is a new subject to me.

Let's not get too carried away, the gene pool is already being stretched by the previous sign.

Present encumbrance says he’s not going to commit to handing over power if he loses; any functioning adult looks like a pretty good idea to me!

[simontaylor484]

The interviews i have seen with Biden seem to show he doesnt fit in the functioning adult category either surely there has to be someone with brains in the US who could stand?

Class it as comments as opposed to debate .

[Colin_McLeod]

Whether comments or debate, the rule is "no politics"

Yer right:

 

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. 

 

To summarise: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. 

 

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

True, but I do not want the hassle that goes along with the job! Plus, the Ferdinand Magellan has been retired  for many years actually.

Europe is a lovely country!

[Steamport Southport]

Wouldn't that be Paris, France if it was aimed at Americans?

 

Some might end up going to Texas.
