        if you want to piss a lot, you need to drink a lot of something containing a diuretic.

        most kinds of coke, or coffee, or tea... what has caffeine will do.

              It's a good tactic to ensure your guy is remembered, despite his failings as a president.


              Exactly. It certainly worked for FDR.

              ASHER FOR CEO!!

                FDR should stay on the dime.

                  I'm against having a living president on currency, but after he passes, I'm all for booting Jackson off the twenty.
                  Read up on your history, son. Jackson did a lot.

                  And if you ignore the Injun part of his Presidency, IIRC all of it was good. (Not that I'm an 1820s economics expert )

                  It worked for FDR.
                  Yeah! Doing good things also worked for FDR as well. Damnit, how come that FDR guy used his brain? Presidents arent supposed to do that!

                    That would be true if I ignored the Injun part of his Presidency. However, I don't. His abuses of human rights by far eclipse those of any president before or after him.

                      BTW, I can't stand to see you guys bashing two of my favorite presidents. I demand you stop it and look at the guys we have on our currency:

                      Washington
                      Jefferson
                      Hamilton
                      Franklin
                      (All known for founding our country)

                      Lincoln
                      (Known for freeing the slaves and preserving the union)

                      Roosevelt
                      (Known for defeating the forces of hell itself)

                      Kennedy
                      (Known for being shot in the line of duty)

                      and, filling out the list, Andrew Jackson? Best known for the trail of tears? What the ****?

                        Actually Andrew Jackson should be best known for adovocating universal white male sufferage (taking away property requirements) and being known as the man of the common people (I'm sure you've hear the stories of dirty commoners staining the White House during Jackson's inaugeration), and, of course, his amazing victory in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812.

                        His abuses of human rights by far eclipse those of any president before or after him.




                        The Trail of Tears was worse than slavery?

                          Or worse than propping up anti-communist dictatorships in third world countries during the Cold War??

                            Which, of course, would mean Kennedy would have been taken off of the 5 0 cent coin, Funboy .

                              By the way, FDR signed of on interning the Japanese Americans (even ones born in this country, now that is FLAT OUT unconstitutional) and ordered our ships to, in violation of US neutrality laws, shoot on UBoats attempting to attack merchant shipping carrying war goods. FDR was right about Hitler. But he did abuse the presidency (and was a rat bastard), like Jackson, Lincoln and many other great presidents. Thankfully our constitution is so far strong enough to survive them.

                              So borrow something from our quarters. Take the dollar coin, make it a little bit bigger or give it those funny edges like some Canadian coins (I like Canucks! ), and rotate ALL the presidents faces. Extra money for the treasury, blind people can easily identify the damn thing, and we can save all the cost of the one dollar bill. Or maybe start with a 5-dollar coin and do that.

                                Well DUH -- Cold War imperialism was done by Democratic presidents and Republican presidents.
