    So in others words if items happen that you do not agree with democracy has gone to far? Yep lets switch to natzism or communism :rolleyes:


    ---edit these pain killers are doing a number on my thinking so please forgive me, however the US is not a true democracy and never has been so I guess to an extent I agree with you.

    So do I.

    I am not in favour of any kind of dictatorship, and that for me is the reason why I blame the US, the UK and the other governments for being way too slow at bringing Saddam down.

    Anyway, western democracy as we know it is not the ideal solution. There's got to be better. We have to give away security in exchange for freedom, freedom for security. That's prob the actual main issue. But also, how can we not allow people to live their own sexuality and not be istinctively offended. There are differences between ethnic groups, how can we make that to be only a good difference, good enough for everyone want to keep it, and not the reason for dangerous division.

    If we're lucky something is going to be conceived during our lifetime. For now let's help democracy survive and evolve...

    So often many seem to forget this fact. The US is a Representitive Republic, not a Democracy. True Demcracy would lead to total anarchy and chaos.

    They don't forget, most people in the US simply don't realise it. It's sad, but glad to see someone else who does realise it :)

    A western democracy, broadly speaking.

    But thanks for pointing that out, formalities have their importance.:)

    Isn't Sadom just another name for San Francisco?
    Where did you hear that San Francisco was destroyed? :D

    Well an earthquake here and there, maybe a BIG ONE coming soon...

    After all, the BIG EASY was badly hit recently, right?

    Believing that stuff for the bible is part of having faith, which you obviously don't so it doesn't apply to you.

    Thank you gworld, maybe a lot of us don't have brain.

    But if you go deeper that doesn't have to be true, although you will prob never be able to tell. It's for education purposes, it's the principle itself that counts.

    You can either agree or not, but that's how it is.

    Congrats for having such a remarkable brain...:)

    Gworld doesn't know what he's talking about.

    That even if it is made up, and I am not saying that is is nor that it isn't, it's just to teach a lesson.

    You know, doing that is wrong, and if you do that there will be consequences, that sort of stuff. It's fairly simple. It just means that it's wrong. Of course it prob isn't for you, but that's your opinion which I respect, although I don't have a brain...
