IT is one of the things that makes the United States great......You get to believe and say whatever you like.
......popular or not

That's such a nice commercial, can't believe people would be upset. This is why I hate close minded people.

As someone who is in an interracial relationship, I know people may pass judgment but we just keep on keeping on. Love wins over hate; always.

Are you saying that Franklin's statement is incorrect?

What an obedient drone you are! <pats_GiantOne_on_his_empty_little_head>

Just saying that Franklin's statement does not apply here.(as all others nod their head in agreement and laugh at Redskinrat)

I certainly hope you are wrong, but I fear you are right. Sadly, those saying to heed Franklin's advice will find little solace when our government no longer is our government.

Not me. You underestimate the threats to our young country when Franklin said those words. They were not threats of terrorism from Afghanistan, of course, but the early USA was vulnerable in terms of security. We had no navy to repel invasion and a dysfunctional army, as the Whiskey Rebellion briefly showed.

Plus, just because Franklin was not President does not make his words prima facie untrue, as you have implied. A person can say things which are true even if they don't "have the weight of the world on their shoulders."

Franklin's words still apply. It is sad that some of my fellow Americans do not see this.

Very good, so we agree times now are different then back then. We also agree that Ben didn't have the weight of the World on his shoulders and that he wasn't dealing with terrorist organizations and countries that might have bombs that can destroy countries or even the world, right?

Yep! (But I'm not an Obama supporter, just a heads up)

What the hell are you talking about? Franklin was one of the most famous figures of his time. What he said had resonance among the public and political figures. Whether he ran things on the federal level was irrelevant. He was constantly in the fold and a part of the decisionmaking process for most historical, political or policy events of the era. The man was also the president of Pennsylvania, so he had some understanding of the requirements of governance.

What's more, Franklin had one of the first newspapers in American history; he wasn't spreading none sense without consequence. The reason why that saying remains salient today is because people actually believed in its message, and still do.

If anyone was looking for signs of the Apocalypse, then the concord between Lotus and I should be enough to unnerve anyone.

I am concerned that GiantOne has the same voting rights and representation as others on this forum yet continues to display an abject abeyance of intellect on so many topics.

This can't be Tomfooolery and Shenanigans as your past posting prove you're not that funny. Are you just here as a Giants ploy to lower the average IQ of the best Redskins site on the Interwebs, GiantOne? Confess!
