Comment Re:Banks vs Manchester. Law, no. Indexes by publis (Score 1) 292

Voter IDs are supposed to be free unless you mean the state's that require a state ID to vote? Those are usually just a few dollars and required for many other tasks which minimizes the expense. I agree with you in theory but in practicality?

Many also require a home address and additional government paperwork. For someone who doesn't have a birth certificate on them, the cost for a "free" ID can be quite expensive. For someone who doesn't have a home address, you have to commit perjury and find a co-conspirator to your crime (now a felony) to be able to get the ID. So a homeless person must commit a felony to get an ID. Plus the cost.

Plus, it doesn't solve any known problem. Fraud didn't go down in the places that required IDs. There were just fewer Blacks voting.

None of the things you state are related to "communism". Communism doesn't mean lower personal rights, political rights, or anything like that.

In practice, China is a capitalistic democracy with high taxes. They have as much choice for political office as we do, the difference is that in the US, we still put on a show. The government doesn't decide what's made and where, but requires that it be "owner" of it. This is functionally a tax system, not a communistic central planning system.

But we have to have a declared enemy, and some reason why we hate them, so we make up lies about them.

So... you are still refusing to cite a nation of comparison between the US thus conceding the argument because you have no contrasting reference.

Why? Did you change your mind about the UK after I proved all your lies wrong? You brought up the UK first, and nobody ever objected to it. You are just furthering your rhetorical games, and lying about facts, and lying about what I've said.

Are you going to cite which country you're representing as your model or can I safely conclude that you've conceded the argument to me?

Ah yes, someone gives up arguing with you, so you declare that you "won". What did you win? You obviously didn't convince anyone of anything. Bill Gates will send you a check for $1,000,000 for winning the Internet. Just post your SSN and DOB so he can send it to you.
