Chilloutman Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I wonder what the record is (non-monarch) for length of ruling a modern European country. Putin and Merkel have to be close, if not haviing set the record already. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-ruling_non-royal_national_leaders_since_1900 almost all are from Africa, rest from commies ruled states I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is?

213374U Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Diaz and Trujillo are not from Europe... Right, right. So: - "commies": Enver Hoxha, Tito, Todor Zhivkov, János Kádár, Stalin* -- rest don't count because you shifted the goalposts to admit only European countries - non-commies: Éamon de Valera, Salazar, Franco, Urho Kekkonen So, 4 (5 if you count the Soviet Union as being in Europe) commies vs... 4 non-commies. Still your original statement that "almost all are [...] commies" is bull. Care to try again?

Blarghagh Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 To be fair, my elite numbers man, Gfted1 did say European.

So your objections are partially correct but accusing chilloutman of moving the goalpost to only include European isn't right. Yep. And that makes sense, except that Chilloutman's objection to the larger list was that Africans in the list don't count (even though Africa isn't in Europe and Europe isn't Africa despite what some would have you believe). Which is why I added some non-European, non-African examples to the reply. The African reference only makes sense if Chilloutman was expanding the scope to the whole world... except Africa. Anyway, let's see if I can fix up a statement we can all agree on to get this trainwreck back on track: "almost all are commies, except those who aren't" Right? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Chilloutman Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) well, since its really not clear to you will try to explain. 1) First there was this 'question': I wonder what the record is (non-monarch) for length of ruling a modern European country. Putin and Merkel have to be close, if not haviing set the record already. 2) Where Malcador send list of List of longest-ruling non-royal national leaders since 1900 of whole world\ to which I pointed that: almost all are from Africa, rest from commies ruled states 3) to which 213374U replied (and I must say I chukled as he again provided examples of non-europeans) Sure. Except from Franco, Salazar, Díaz, Trujillo... and I am the called bull? if you want to be the clever one, point out those which are on list and actually are relevant: Éamon de Valera Urho Kekkonen nah, whatever Edited September 26, 2017 by Chilloutman I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read.

majestic Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-ruling_non-royal_national_leaders_since_1900 Whoa! I guess Merkel's 20 years (at the end of this term) are nothing in comparison. Not to rain on your parade there but Merkel's chancellor since 2005. She might get 16 years at best, assuming Jamaica works out (and that'll be fun with the FDP and the Greens in the same government). Kohl also had 16 years, so that's not even a record for Germany. And I suppose Tage Erlander qualifies as the longest continously serving, democratically elected leader in Europe post-WW2. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
