Why politicians can never get anything done?

Why didn't Roosevelt ever really put a chicken on every table in america?

Why don't we have working flying cars in every garage?

Why is the Bermuda Triangle a triangle and not an obtuse angle?

Why does it cost 5 cents to make 1 penny?

Re: Questions for Future Historians

What was the final straw that ended socialism?

What did Obama do after he was impeached?

When did Key and Xeno Syndicated get a Civil Union?

What did Supreme Court Justice Zarf do in his earlier years?

When did Anonymous get rounded up by Chris Balsz and then get burned to death by him?

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: Questions for Future Historians

lol...

Umm there seems to be some confusion.  First of all, you're supposed to ask at least one "how" question.  And, hotdog, the questions should be in the point of view of a history student in a classroom in the future, asking his or her history teacher these questions.  These questions should be in the past tense, asking about some event, which for us, is still in the future.

For example:

"How could they have enforced the ban on human cloning better so as to avoid the Eugenics Wars"

Re: Questions for Future Historians

"When will Diablo III be released??"

Re: Questions for Future Historians

"Every single one of those questions can and will be asked int he distant future."

They aren't questions that would be asked in a future history class, and thus are spam / trolliage.

"How could they have enforced the ban on human cloning better so as to avoid the Eugenics Wars"

They teach that crap in the Star Trek class in Berkley, because they don't know how to come up with REAL classes to teach children and young adults.  No joke.  They teach this crap in those so called Star Trek college courses in California.  They teach ethics from the view points of Star Fleet Captains.  Go figure.


Ok.

How come the scientific community believes global warming exists, while the politicians believed it to be nothing more than mass hysteria and mythological?

Could the events that lead from global warming causing our oceans to become more acidic have been prevented?

What could have been done to prevent oil speculators from ruining the world economy?

Where could we have done more in the polls to elect politicians more able to lead than to let problems exponentially grow?

Why did people sit on their ass at a computer terminal coming up with stupid questions, instead of getting off their asses and DOING something about their present day problems?


You want me to hit below the belt?

"Why did they not recognize the Fuhrer's genius when he was just trolling the net?"

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: Questions for Future Historians

Re: Questions for Future Historians

Was the election of George W. Bush really the beginning of the US decline to a secondary power?
How was it possible, that germany took control over europe due economic dominance?
How was it possible, that the first nuclear war started between the now closed regions formerly known as "Israel" and "Iran"?
Why didn't the chinese people ever rebel against their government?
How was it possible, that so many people believed that global warming was caused by man, when it was instead caused by natural circumstances?

Re: Questions for Future Historians

"California not Korea"

Just making sure, cuz I'm in the UC system and I've heard of Berkeley's StarCraft classes but not Star Trek classes.

How can it be that people for thousand of years followed strict rules, argue, fought and even died in the name of the ancient legends and myths they referred to as religion.
