    Never said "Impossible" just "would take a lot of effort."

    More effort than people in this country are willing to do. Here's the thing. In 245 years of existence, there have been 17 amendments to the Constitution (since the original 10). France's current constitution has been in place for 63 years and is up to 89 articles.

    Which one is more of a "living document"?

    It would appear France has a more "living document."

    Just as soon as you provide anyone with free labor, feel free to seek your just due....oh, that's right, you never did any such thing, you want the "pay" of long dead folks, you may or may not be related to, however remotely distantly :)

    Sounds like you need to seek "your" pay from a cemetary full of dead slave owners :)

    Wear a mask while out in public. Please maintain social distancing of 6 feet from others. Wash your hands frequently.

    Take care and have a nice day.

    How did I know you would not be able to stick to the topic? :)

    Yeah...once they pull crap like this...best thing is to ignore them. arguing with them when they're like that is pointless.

    First of all...you were the one who went on a completely random tangent.

    Secondly, if you keep ignoring people who do not agree with you...it makes having a discussion rather difficult.

    I don't mind if people disagree with me. I just don't like trolls and ignorant people.
    Also, I don't go on tangents. I speak clearly to everyone.
    I think I'll put you on ignore too for now. Have a nice evening.

    Someone made a point, you replied with a completely out of left field "Wear a mask while out in public. Please maintain social distancing of 6 feet from others. Wash your hands frequently."

    If that's not going off on a tangent, going totally off topic...what is?

    Oh no! Not that! Anything but that! Whatever shall I do? Whatever will happen to me? How can I go on with my life? (he said, dripping with sarcasm)

    I thought you had me on your ignore list. Am I really interesting enough to keep around? I'm flattered.

    “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
    ― Albert Einstein

    “[In the Universe it may be that] Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.”
    ― Stephen W. Hawking

    “The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.”
    ― Harlan Ellison

    “It never ceases to amaze me that in times of amazing human suffering somebody says something that can be so utterly stupid.”
    ― Robert Gibbs

    Isn't Google a wonderful tool?

    Shall we continue, or would you prefer to get back to the topic at hand of why you feel that people should get reparations for slavery and how Congress will do something that does not benefit them in the slightest and propose an Amendment to a document that many people consider too special to alter?

    I noticed that some black people feel entitled to cut in line at stores is this part of their reparations to just cut in line wherever they go?

    This thread has gone just where this proposal will; nowhere.

    Ah, we wish to continue with the Googling of stupidity quotes instead of discussing reparations. Looks like we hit the "Oh look! A squirrel" point of the discussion. Diversions instead of intelligent discourse.

    If you can't hold to the topic when dealing with people in a discussion forum, you're going to have almost no chance when you try convincing your congresscritters.

    If that is what you believe, you should leave and not come back here.
    Thank you and have a nice day.
