Does this sound familiar:
* The self-declared winner is the son of the former prime minister and that former prime minister was himself the former head of that nation’s secret police (CIA).
* The self-declared winner lost the popular vote but won based on some 200-year-old colonial holdover from the nation’s pre-democracy past.
* The self-declared winner's 'victory' is based solely on disputed votes cast in a province governed by his brother!
* At least 100,000 votes in this disputed province were thrown into the trash as void.
* Maybe intentionally confusing, poorly drafted ballot of one district, a district heavily favoring the self-declared winner's opponent, led thousands of voters to vote for the wrong candidate or make a mistakes that would cause their vote to be thrown out.
* Members of that nation's most despised caste, fearing for their lives/livelihoods, turned out in record numbers to vote in near-universal opposition to the self-declared winner's candidacy.
* Hundreds of members of that most-despised caste were intercepted on their way to the polls by provincial police operating under the authority of the self-declared winner's brother .
* The self-declared winner and his political party opposed a more careful by- hand inspection and recounting of the ballots in the disputed province or in its most hotly disputed district."In some of its more lunatic aspects, political correctness is merely ridiculous. But in the thinking behind it, there is something more sinister which is shown by the fact that already there are certain areas and topics where freedom of speech, in the sense of the right to open and frank discussion, is being gradually but significantly eroded." -- Judge Neil DenisonComment

"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

you only b**** about it because you don't like the outcome...Originally posted by Saint Marcus and with that you answered your own question.

-True, but that doesn't make the complaints any less legitimate. I don't ***** about the refereeing in the Spain- S. Korea game, but that doesn't mean I have to believe Spanish fans have nothing to complain about.you only b**** about it because you don't like the outcome..."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

If you only complain about something because you don't like the outcome it sure as hell makes the complaint less legitimate.Originally posted by Victor Galis -True, but that doesn't make the complaints any less legitimate.

-Nonsense. If you like the outcome of something, you must be stupid or have very strong principles to complain about the way it happened.If you only complain about something because you don't like the outcome it sure as hell makes the complaint less legitimate."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

But no. I actually like when the candidates who get the more votes than others win."In some of its more lunatic aspects, political correctness is merely ridiculous.

what century do you live in?That or perhaps you're a commie
And what is your opinion of the electoral system?If you only complain about something because you don't like the outcome it sure as hell makes the complaint less legitimate.

Yes, that sort of thing does have a certain appeal to it."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

I think you missed the point. If the only reason one complains about an outcome is because they don't like said outcome, it is suspect.Originally posted by Victor Galis -Nonsense.

-Oh... I've been complaining about the electoral college since before this election. This only fed me a good example of what was wrong with it.If the only reason one complains about an outcome is because they don't like said outcome, it is suspect."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."
