Future Predicted in "Demolition Man"?

Post by Lord Poe »

Remember that scene where Stallone was surprised to find out that Arnold had been president? I believe Sandra Bullock called him Governor Scwarzenegger too, didn't she?

In today's LA Times, there was talk of lifting the natural born citizens only ban on the presidency!

I think Orrin Hatch is putting together an attempt to change the constitution on this matter.

There has actually been a couple of muted attempt to do that for a few years now. Nothing ever comes of it, sort of like the Flag Ammendment, and I doubt anything will come of it this year either, Arnold or not.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Your not the only one who has been thinking this same thing.

The real fun question is *will* it happen. If it does, it would kinda make you wonder if Hollywood didn't have some sort of crystal ball... :P :P

Don´t know who, but somebody claimed, that Arnold would be to old, until it should be possible for the US-constitution to be changed.

Of course, this person has obviously never heard of Konrad Adenauer, Otto von Bismark or Queen Victoria.
The optimist thinks, that we live in the best of all possible worlds and the pessimist is afraid, that this is true.

It's not a matter of age, it's the fact that he wasn't born in this country. Of course, being the governor of the state with the most congressional seats, he has a chance of getting an amendment passed and becoming the President. :lol:
