I love how obsessed some Americans are with their founding fathers, it’s adorably weird. I’ve never ever based any of my decisions or opinions on what our first chancellor did or didn’t do and I don’t see fucking why.
It wouldn’t’ be so bad if they actually knew anything about their founding fathers. Maybe did a little research on them, but the ones that idolise them the most know almost nothing about them.
It’s an important part of history. The fact that the ideology of some guys that founded our nation a few years back would be viewed as far left extremists nowadays is astonishing. These guys literally left a country and made their own country with radical stuff like freedom of speech, allowing people to come through the borders if they feel unsafe, democracy for the people and by the people and not corporate dirtbags fucking us every chance they get. Not to mention our freedoms keeping on shrinking little by little from the Patriot Act and more legislation to monitor our communications “foR tHe ChiLdRen”.

Not true for Americans. How much your vote counts is based on which state you live in due to the Electoral College
Yup. In most cases, these people’s votes count more than the rest of ours.
The first vote on this post was a downvote… they’re everywhere!
People have been using all kinds of stuff for sun screen for centuries. Ancient Greeks used olive oil, for example.
Even if George Washington didn’t have skin cancer, what does that prove?
Yeah, I don’t think a sample size of one really proves anything.
