Who were your favorite presidents?

[DragonFreak]

Also Andrew Jackson/Johnson? No...

Screw you and screw you

Johnson was fantastic

I hope you are being sarcastic, because Andrew Johnson is one of the worst presidents we have ever had.

*banjo mentions Jefferson Davis

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU JEFFERSON DAVIS WAS A TERRIBLE PRESIDENT

I'd vote for FDR, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington. I'm contemplating Lyndon B. Johnson for his good policies and helping to stop racism, but the Vietnam War ruined him.

The worst presidents have to be Harding, James Buchanan. Reagan is pretty awful as well, despite how he's somehow held in high regard by Republicans (even though he has raised capital gains taxes, refrained from cutting on Social Security, supported gun control, gave amnesty to many illegal immigrants, and a few other things).

If you've paid attention to any news about the budget within the last like 4 years you'll know that NASA already is having all of its money siphoned away, causing things like the Space Shuttle Program to be forced to end. Additionally, cancer will never be cured because there's nothing to cure. It's not an infectious disease or anything and it does not have one cause or one mode of attack or anything; it's an umbrella term for cells in your body that recklessly and endlessly multiply until bad *bleep* happens so divesting all of NASA's money to "cure cancer" will doubly be a waste.

I'm aware of how cancer works and that what we know about cancer is that it can't be cured. It's possible that there is a cure, however unlikely.

Space research can help cure cancer (to an extent) if they find new technologies or something. There is no "cure for cancer" unless there's a treatment that stops all sorts of cells from multiplying rapidly, and it can accommodate for all those variables that trigger the tumor in the first place.

aren't those all things you like?

yeah. basically what i'm saying is that we don't know everything and it's possible there's something out there we just don't know about yet

Those things she listed doesn't outweigh the bad things Reagan did methinks

 

[Dr. Javelin]

oh okay

well, if you're expecting a president to be perfect, prepare to be disappointed! every single one of our presidents has done something bad, even lincoln (suspended habeas corpus) and fdr (japanese interment camps)

It's kinda bad how some presidents must partake in actions that might favor the general public rather than morally correct* decisions if they want to get back in office. Reality stinks at times.

It's just that some presidents are better/worse than others. Everyone can agree that Buchanan is an awful president.

*which also depends on the person but I digress
