Oh yea people will definitely cut into you for offering soltions for their country in a situation like that. I do unerstand that.

Yes it does but that piece of paper isn't going to jump up and defend my rights or physically force the president to uphold it.

LOL what a bunch of hot air. What value is there if nobody stands up for it? And BTW I'm not talking specifically about the my country's constitution. I'm talking about constitutions in general so that parchment bit and shove it.

I'll quite happily take shots at anyone else too, quite a lot of what I wrote is applicable to the US in some way or another.
You've been living in the superpower dreamland for a couple of generations and its making the current lot very 'sluggish' when it comes to sticking up for themselves or their rights to defend that constitution.

More hot air?

k bye.

Seriously you're making up some stupid one liners in an attempt to belittle my intelligence. All I'm saying is that constitutions in general are just pieces of paper and they mean nothing without people defending and supporting them and you're out here throwing out childish non sequiturs. I hope you put me on ignore because you aren't privileged enough to read what I type.

so you and i agree that constitutions require a sense of value to be effective and that given time, among other things, that value can be sustained?
