They don't really need term limits. They need age limits. Similar to mandatory retirement.
When normal people hit 75-80, we're discussing taking the keys away from them and whether or not to put them in a group home so that they can have 24/7 care until they die. We're not discussing whether they should be running congressional committees that govern this country, or whether they should be given the nuclear launch codes.

And these fucks may be smarter and healthier than the average person at their age, but it doesn't mean we can't do better.

I'm against age limits. Some people act older than they are in their 60s than my dad who is 93 and fully functioning and still driving and a great driver at that. Term limits is what we should have, but age limits is going down a slippery slope.

ok, but we already have term limits for Presidents, and have no issue putting 80-90 year old men in office. Which is a problem, because these guys aren't all there.

Always standing up for the old timers lol
 
For those who wear contacts, I don't know how you do it. Wanted to see about them, getting them in and out was a pain. I'll stick to glasses lol.

That shit was wild the year or so I had to do it. Went Lasik and never looked back.
 
It is nuts what is happening with the orioles right now. crazy how two teams so close In the birds can be run so poorly and so well. We are soooo lucky Steve likes football more than baseball

I started them last year and it took SIX months for me to get them in constantly - the first month other people had to help me, my eyes are incredibly twitchy. You cant nap in them and by the end of your day, they are so dry they fall out. If you ever smoke, your eyes will be 20 times drier too lol

I love both sports, but if owners were reversed, I feel like I'd be talking on an O's forum right not and not a Ravens one. The inept ownership killed my fandom of that team.

That's why we need someone from the Ravens to buy the team lol. I don't know who, but get Cal and a few others as a group and get the team away from the Angelos.

All he had to do was nothing. Nobody gave a crap about what Kevin said until John got all pissy and suspended him for it. Now everybody knows. Good job buddy
 
Really proud of us all surviving Robocop and the evil corporation Omni Consumer Products. I’m a little concerned for Minority report in 2050 but we can do this

So i kinda disagree with term limits to the extent most want them. Congressional representative is not a job I want continues turnover and it takes a while to really learn the job. If we had term limits I would like it to be 16 years.

Yea, I think that’s certainly a debate to be had. We have some that have served for 30-40 then as president

I remember reading an argument against term limit restrictions stating it would give more power to lobbyists with the turnover. I’m not sure if I fully agree, but definitely agree the age limit should be considered and shouldn’t be deemed ageist
