CounterStalking

[Kat Kanning]

The bible says god created all men equal.

I thought the constitution said that.

I thought it was the declaration of independence

It was the counter-stalking, shambling inaliens from the UFO conspiracy.

Oh, yea. The constitution has that 3/5 stuff. I like the DOI better.... Indian Savages.

Oh, yea. The constitution has that 3/5 stuff.

If you object to the 3/5 provision, I guess you prefer slave states being stronger.

[president]

Did I say I objected to it?
No, I am just pointing out that all men are not equal according to the US constitution.

[polyanarch]

But the Constitution never "created" any men.

Either did Jehovah

[president]

Documents don't create men. The Bible didn't "create" men.
But the Constitution assigned the value of 1 to some people, and the value of 3/5 to some other people.

Oh, is Steve Cobb really black?

Point well taken.  The Constitution was a flawed document.  There is no need to point to the 3/5th's rule to prove that.  The fact that it has been utterly ineffective to stem the tide of tyranny shows that it is not worth the hemp it was written on. 

I say we smoke it.

That is not true. ?The U.S. Constitution does not say that slaves are only 3/5's a man. ?I learned about the Constitution in elementary school and I still know about it.

"In determining the number of representatives Southern states should have in the House, Southern states argued that slaves should be fully counted. ?Northerners did not think the slaves should be counted at all. ?The compromise was that slaves should be counted as three-fifths of a person when determining representation. ?This compromise on a very contentious issues was not a statement about black people as 'three-fifths of a person' in any metaphysical or biological sense." ?Thomas E. Woods from The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.

In that case, my quote came from page 18.  However, this is one of the few things that I was taught correctly in elementary, middle, and high school.

You mean public schools work?

He didn't say they were public schools.
