Gromnir Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 the more homogeneous your culture/society is, the easier it is to have democracy work smooth. HA! Good Fun! "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v. California, 274 U.S. 357 (1927) "Im indifferent to almost any murder as long as it doesn't affect me or mine."--Gfted1 (September 30, 2019) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumquatq3 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I suppose being a good Democracy and a good government are two different things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taks Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 yeah, related, of course, but definitely not requirements of one another. pure democracy would be horrible. pure "good government" requires a level of altruism (or maybe logic) i don't think humans are capable of. i think gromnir is right, btw. it is much easier to pull off when everyone thinks similarly. taks comrade taks... just because.

metadigital Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 of course, i still do not understand how an oppressive taxing scheme is not considered an infringement on civil liberties while tapping phone lines of suspected terrorists is... personally, BOTH should be given weight (though not necessarily equally) as the former really does amount to robbing peter to pay for paul. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So, uh, that wasn't joke? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which bit didn't you understand?

Xard Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Seriously thinking "oppressive taxing scheme" and tapping phone lines as equal deeds. :crazy: How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 He never said equal: personally, BOTH should be given weight (though not necessarily equally) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> but you're right, some oppressive Big Brother taking my money for their own designs is much worse than evesdropping on telephone gossip ...
