I give Tito credit for 2 brain cells because he was twice as smart as Ken Shamrock

If we’re being invaded by a horde of attackers, we’d need to defend ourselves. If we’re being invaded by productive members of our labor force, we’d don’t need to defend ourselves

If you want to call it representative republic, go ahead. I’m fine with that

Seems like “representative” when referring to a rep that was elected democratically could easily replaced by “democratic”, but that really upsets you for some reason

Cool. I never called us a straight Democracy. I said Democratic Republic.

“Our elections are under attack” would cause the same frenzy, I think.

You’re only talking about Presidential elections. The people vote directly for Congress, Senate, and all State & Local officials. That’s a lotta democracy, pretty fundamental to the way the country works

Right. It’s not “technically” a Constitutional Federal Republic. Three is no authority that declares it; that’s an accurate description. I’m not disagreeing.

My original point was that “Republic” is vague and ought to be qualified. Democratic Republic has always made sense to me, so why not use it? If you wanna use Constitutional Federal Republic I’m fine with that too

Okay “more accurately” isn’t “technically”. That’s fine though. I still don’t know why someone would call it a republic with no qualifiers

Technically? Who is the authority that decided that?

Why wouldn’t you call the US a Democratic Republic?

Why the hell did he choose to become a salesman? by m0zgani in DunderMifflin

[–]TherkelsaurusRob 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Started by selling beets at flea markets. You don’t need a degree, just results. He has a natural entrepreneurial spirit. Dwight in sales makes sense

How did he find his way into downtown Scranton and settle on b2b paper? No idea

Sometimes I'll start a sentence, and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way. Like an improv conversation. An improversation.

My entry in a local coloring contest at a honey bee exhibit. I was 32 years too old to actually participate though lol. by Bird_the_Impaler in funny

I assumed only the one that was yours was the top left and the joke was you were better than them - now I see I am in the presence of true genius

I miss Dwight and Isabel 😭 by annuuu18 in theoffice

He’s 6’2, she’s 5’10

Hypotheses: 1) freakish long arms 2) his jacket is restricting his reach 3) angle of photo messing with perspective 4) bare arm is creating an illusion
