They're also frauds and phonies who would lie, cheat, and steal to maintain office.

i'm sure glad there isn't video of me professing my beliefs of all the stupid shit i thought 20 years ago...

this is just 10 years ago, and they were grown ass people then. There's a difference being young and stupid and grown up and ignorant

Do you honestly think that people stop learning once they become an adult?

new facts will never change my positions on anything. i'm "principled"

Obama's changed his mind several times on this issue. In the 90's he was for it, then in the 00's he was against it, now he's for it again. I predict in the 20's he will be back to opposing it again.

They did the same thing with all the above. After 10 years, they won't dare oppose it, then Americans will finally get the public insurer option they should have had from the beginning.

Well now since the supreme court said it's legal, they don't have shit to go with. I can not for the life of me get why the political system is what it is right now

Because the stupid half of the country hasn't yet realized that theocracy is bad, treating people like second class citizens is wrong, and that voting for the interests of the wealthy and big business is contrary to their own interests only harms them.

Yet still half vote for these people and Hillary won't be any better either. Someone like Warren or Sanders should win

If we can't have Sanders or Warren, I will take Hilary over a Republican any day of the week, but I want Sanders or Warren, who isn't running.

As if people think that politicians "evolve" on issues on their own. How convenient that their evolution happened to accord with public opinion and pop culture.

Of course they're hypocrites.

What politician doesn't cater their opinion on social issues to their voting base? You think all of these Republicans really give a crap who marries whom? Probably not...they're just pandering to their base.

A democratic republic is supposed to reflect the will of the voters.

No, a person is suppose to implement their own policies. He's suppose to represent them, not reflect them

And if they don't reflect them, do do not get re-elected.

Maybe where you live, here they are supposed to represent us. They're not suppsoe to reflect us. Because no one will ever 100% agree on everything a person does

That doesn't sound very democratic to me...

EDIT: Actually, what you say makes sense. Sorry.

This, to a degree. I mean, this is absolutely critical to a good leader. That being said, it's often difficult to discern this from pandering, and I don't have much of a stomach for that.

Oh, they were pandering. I have no doubt about that. But I'd say the same about most Republican candidates on opposing same sex marriage. Can you really be a politician and not pander though?

ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahahah! Are you serious? You're trolling right? You do know Norway has one of the lowest criminal rates in the whole world mate... Of course you don't, as always you're making stupid posts...

I never said anything about the criminal rate. I only said that "only criminals would prefer Norway to good countries". Norwegian school system at work? Btw, congratulations on being in the company of countries such as Laos, South Sudan and Syria when it comes to "criminal rate".

"good countries" wow... Who's the judge of that? You? The country i am living in is superior to yours, deal with it...

Hillary and Obama should be called out for the things they said in the past

Yes. So? I live in Sweden. It sucks. Great achievement Norway, according to The_Last_Ride you beat the Penis of Europe. Bravo.

Norway, why do you ask?

Also this should be taken into account:

I disagree. I like having daylight during winter.

Uhm, you do know we have sunlight here during winter?

Too bad Norway is a garbage dump. Only criminals would prefer Norway to good countries.

What exactly is your beef with Scandinavia again?

It's trash.

Yeah, you're gonna need to be more specific, man. What exactly makes you say that?

That's not how it works here. People here call for nuking the Middle East, for example, without any real knowledge whatsoever of the region. But whatever. It's cold and grey, the people are smug and extremely nationalistic, as you can see. They're very close minded, as you can see. It's more authoritarian than most western states. Feminism spiraling out of control. And so on.

Technically speaking 100% of people are hypocrites.

Well even if that is true, I'm sure a certain percentage wish they weren't hypocrites, and do want to claim they did something hypocritical without realizing, and say that it was not their intention.

there is no "even if" about it. if you are a human there is a 100% certainty you are a hypocrite.

in the long run nobody cares.

you don't see anyone talking about how ghandi killed his wife or how ronald reagan was a hugely successful union leader or how everyone that hates the confederate flag is carrying around money with slave owners on it.

hypocrisy is a meaningless concept because we all do it all the time.

I think it's an entirely different thing to be young and stupid on an internet forum than to lie and wheedle about in an attempt to get elected.

I used to have some pretty stupid ideas but I learned from them. Hell, I have some stupid ideas now too and I still learn from them.

It doesn't feel that way with politicians. It feels like they're just drifting to the next popular viewpoint and pandering to people they need votes from. Not honest evolution of their ideas.

I agree it can seem like that, but you will never really know if it's one way or the other... their actions are what matter since you can't trust anything a politician says.

Wouldn't you want integrity, though? What's to stop them from going with the very opposite if it becomes popular?

I don't know. For me it still comes back to the fact that I believe most politicians will say whatever they think they need to to get elected. Say you talk to somebody on an internet forum years ago and they say they're against gay marriage. Fast forward to now and they're for it. I would take that change of opinion as more sincere than a career politician making the change.

Most politicians are hypocrites. Certainly, neither Hillary Clinton nor President Obama were trailblazers for gay rights. They gave their support only after public opinion had already sided with that issue. It would have been nice to see them out in front - pushing for what they felt was right and just - instead of playing it safe. But I give them credit for at least not being obstructionist.

Yes this fits very well into the definition of ego. Empty "achievements" going to your head. The UN doesn't have a "best country to live in", it has a Human Development Index, on which I wrote a paper on. And using this as the only evidence is incredibly stupid. The UN being a very corrupt, immoral and incompetent organisation. So that there is one index from them where Norway does well does not convince me. You referring to other's work like this does not convince anyone. Let's see what is said about the HDI:

"The Human Development Index has been criticized on a number of grounds including alleged ideological biases towards egalitarianism and so-called "Western models of development", failure to include any ecological considerations, lack of consideration of technological development or contributions to the human civilization, focusing exclusively on national performance and ranking, lack of attention to development from a global perspective, measurement error of the underlying statistics, and on the UNDP's changes in formula which can lead to severe misclassification in the categorisation of 'low', 'medium', 'high' or 'very high' human development countries."

Let's look at some other lists.

Happy Planet Index: Norway is not surprisingly below countries such as Pakistan and Algeria. Link

Global Terrorism Index: Norway is not surprisingly below countries such as Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Link

One of the world's highest cancer rates. Link

Relatively high suicide rate: Who wouldn't become suicidal living in Norway? Link

And so on. The point is that being on the top of some arbitrary list doesn't help very much when your country is trash. Cause as we can see, other arbitrary lists paint a different picture. In the end Norway will be garbage regardless of any list.

High cancer rates are indicative of a 'healthy' country with longer lifespans. It means that people are living longer to die of cancer instead of war, famine, heart disease, or other causes. The same could apply to suicide rates as well, look at South Korea and Japan as examples. Or simply partially attributed to seasonal affective disorder (yes it is a real thing).

'Oh no, Scandinavia sucks because people are dying of cancer and not fucking Ebola!!! We have a higher chance of killing ourselves rather than dying from criminals or internal strife! The horror!'.

Yes this fits very well into the definition of ego. Empty "achievements" going to your head. The UN doesn't have a "best country to live in", it has a Human Development Index, on which I wrote a paper on. And using this as the only evidence is incredibly stupid.

"empty achievments" ahahahahahahahhahaha. So UN saying it's the best is empty? Despite all that it's better than your country :D. You can throw those things at me, but still doesn't change the facts it's better than your feminist heaven. Face it and concede that my country is the best in the world. You're just damage controlling at this point mate

If you look at the list it include only developed countries, most of them with very long life spans. Or do you think many people in Japan die of war and famine?

How could this apply to suicide rates? Or look at India, Burundi, South Sudan.

Yes it's empty. Of course it's better than Sweden. You're completely right about that, I admitted that long time ago.

Keep telling yourself that. I would like to see you have this discussion with a typical american. The battle of the two greatest egos hahahah. Yet both loses to good countries like Germany, France, Australia etc.

All of those have higher unemployment rates and worse solutions for people who don't have jobs. Also it's not ego to state facts. Besides i am German, i know perfectly well the difference between Norway and Germany

These same liberals who talk about their "change in thinking" or whatever are the same ones who will slander the likes of Ron Paul for "racist articles" 25+ years ago. Or try to dig up dirt from Jeb Bush's book he wrote 20 or so years ago. JUST LOL.

I've been following this thread but I just can't bring myself to take it seriously because the OP misspelled "hypocrites" in the title. I'm sorry but it's not like it's the 80s and you have to find your bottle of whiteout.
