America is a Republic.

 

Democracy: Peoplerule. So if the people choose the rulers, then I'd call it a democracy... But I don't really care to argue that. If you want to call it a republic rather than a democracy, then go ahead.

 

But I still think that republic and democracy aren't mutually exclusive.

Hey every goverment one way or another will end up like that just some faster than others.

 

Na. The democracy (or republic for you) was supposed to be able to change the government to avoid this effect.

And what do you mean by the conservitive minority? More states voted for Bush than Gore. That is why we do not go by popular vote or else liberals would win all the time.

 

You are wrong to write this problem off so easily. Basically the big bash in Europe right now is whether we should have a system of states/regions voting or the citizens of the EU voting in the upcoming European Republic. The problem is a complex one: The first option would mean that a Danish voter would have more power than a French voter, but the other option would mean that France and Germany would be able to dominate the federation.

Also if you look at a county map only the counties with big citys vote for Liberals

 

Perchance that's because the institutions of education and the jobs that require education are all in the cities?

 

Clinton if anyone was lazy.

 

Which part of the Oslo Protocol did you fail to notice?

 

In fact only a war get a economy out of the pits.

 

Oh. Will someone please tell me, then, why some of your most right-wing generals are warning you that a war will be 'too costly'.

 

Five words and a quote:Notice the "Anything that has nothing to do with burning " in my post?

 

There may be burning solutions in the future, but some uses my never be gone for oil

 

Burning provides heat and pressure... Which can be created by electricity, which can in turn be created by fuel cells.

 

You mind not ragging on Christains?

 

I do not rag on Christians. I rag on Christianity.

 

To everyone:

 

Oh, please. Get the idea that Europe is socialistic out of your heads. We are social-liberalistic. And it works, thankyeverymuch.

 

I could get into the pros and cons of a social-liberalistic system here, but that would be kinda off-topic, methinks. Basically, though, the concept is that people aren't left to rot in the streets when they are out of a job.

 

I don't see the United States as an Empire either. Not in the literal sense.

 

The US is a hyperpower, no? All previous hyperpowers have been called empires, no? And el Presidente's crusade is pretty imperialistic, no?

Hey Griif how cheap are you selling that swamp for? Anyway, I think Bush was picked fairly, and in fact if anything Gore was trying to do a little cheating, but hey thats my opinion, I think Bush is a great leader, and that there is nothing that he is doing wrong, 'cept maybe trying to start too many fights at once,

(N. Korea, Iraq, TERROR, and the rest of that "axis of evil" thing) but I think he knows what he is doing, and is just reacting to the increasing amounts of fear and terror spreading like wildfires, and I guess a lot of people are just kinda worried. Anyway, I think it's a good thing Bush is in office 'cause Gore was very strange and tricksy.

 

OH, and another thing, what about the communist and Socialist (etc.) parties in our country, why don't they ever get a fair run, and it's always a feirce competition between the Democrats and Republicans, though they aren't really that different in theory...

The media also helped contribute to the Florida mess. Bear in mind that the media is 80% liberal. They announced the state was won by Gore very early, when in fact voting was still allowed in some places. Surveys were done post-election to ask if the announcement that Gore won the state deterred Florida citizens from going to the polls. The answer? Yes. Who wants to vote for a loser?

 

Bush won. Like it or not.

 

And no, he's not the smartest guy on the planet. But at least he's smart enough to surround himself with people that do know what they're doing.

Calm down. Count to ten while taking deep breaths. I don't want any flaming in here.

 

Bush knows everything he is doing. He is the PRESIDENT.

 

You don't seriously believe presidents get all-knowing and a few extra IQ points the moment they get elected, do you?

 

You should show respect

 

Why? Cuz he's the prez? I'm thinking we also shouldn't question his motives and ability, right?

 

but I'm through showing respect.

 

You and InsaneSith can go kill each other while offline. But when on these boards, you will show respect to other people.

 

Comprendes?
