That's because I'm not addressing you in the body of what I've written.
I'm just showing the hypocrisy of two ex-pats coming here after they've left their country and having the nerve to complain how busted it is, wheres the help and then, then deciding to take shots at outsiders for merely suggesting what the root cause of the problem is. |

I think one major thing people always overlook is that a constitution is really just a piece of paper. |
what about your Constitution? does it hold any value to you? |

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. |

another concept that value tends to depend on is time.
is that concept familiar to you? |

| 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? |
