What Is Politics?
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense,"
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep poo."

If memory serves me correctly, StartWhining spent his early, formative years in Elbonia -- then, at the tender age of 106, he moved to Freedonia where he specialized in the cultivation & distribution of either duck soup, or horsefeathers!
Explains much...

Twelvepole you are so narrow minded you can't even read a simple joke and get it right. Quote from your last post. " So do tell how does the government screwing the working class not scream out "I am a communist" "All should share in the wealth we didn't earn" "" This is what the little boy said not what you mis Quoted. " The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep poo."
enough said your own post has given us your IQ Level

Twelvepole maybe this will make you happy.
Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

12pole said he was ex-military in the famous Jack thread a while back. Of course that thread has been totally deleted many months ago.

12, occasionally in real life we all get to hang out with stupid people but that's nothing that you want to come here and brag to Vendio users about.
Now go run and play with your back up singers.

Someone's ignorance is plainly showing. The statement should read as follows:
If it weren't for me, this thread's IQ wouldn't have jumped above 70.
Sorry, Twelvepole, if you think this thread is in the sub-70 range, you're DEFINITELY not lifting it above that.
