    Let me say it slow: tolerance paradox. Intolerance can’t be tolerated. The right to deny another person’s rights isn’t a right, it’s oppression.

    Early on I thought this might be good conversation. I offered slavery and the civil war as a counter point to illustrate why the whole “yesterday’s citizens decided who today’s were, and today’s citizens decide who tomorrow’s will be” idea is a faulty one, but you jumped right in the pig sty because apparently granting voting rights to freed slaves in the South was an anti-democratic move. That’s both immoral and illogical. So yeah, we’re done here. get blocked

      No I was saying you was saying not having everyone allowed to vote is undemocratic.

      People in starship troopers have the right to vote, everyone has the same right. It just has to be earned. They see a vote as something of value and not to be given away to someone that doesn’t care about it.

      But in your example white men chose to give the vote to more people and men chose to give it to women. So the few can choose to expand the vote to others that may disagree with. That’s against what you said with those with the vote will make it harder for others to vote.

      History shows that to be false.
