    Democracy - does it work?

    Sorry my bad. My whole argument is that everyone shouldn't get a vote. How do you get from there to 'we should have a vote'. Of course I would lose because the majority of people are stupid and want to continue to be able to vote.

    Democracy - does it work?

    I never said we should vote on whether it was a good idea. I know that we are over 21 million but 20 is a nice even number so I used it instead.

    Democracy - does it work?

    It is not a test of people who consider themselves better. It is a test of everyone who wants to take it and the people who get the best results (i.e. the people who are proven to be better) get to vote. 10% of 20 million is not even close to being the same as a single dictator.

    Democracy - does it work?

    It would be the 10% most intelligent people as determined by a test on relevant political, economic, social issues etc... how is that royalty? 1 - The education system cannot be expected to provide people with the ability to reasonable assess and vote on all the potential issues. 2 -...

    Democracy - does it work?

    The majority of people are idiots and their opinions are wrong. It is not an assumption. It is a fact. I don't think I am the only one that is correct in all situations which is why I suggest the top 10% of people be allowed to vote. That way you still get different opinions but you exclude...

    Democracy - does it work?

    Just because it was decided by the majority doesn't make it correct. The majority of people are complete idiots and cannot be trusted to decide the fate of an entire country.

    Democracy - does it work?

    If the only purpose of democracy is to give everyone the same vote then it does work beautifully... but surely the aim of a political system should be to run the country as effectively as possible and democracy doesn't do that. I don't think there is a better system anywhere else either but...

    Democracy - does it work?

    ...but the only reason that is even allowed to happen is because of stupid people who will vote for them anyway. If only certain people were allowed to vote then all the different parties would know that if they didn't put someone credible as their leader they would not get any votes.

    Democracy - does it work?

    The job of politicians isn't to act in the nation's best interests, it's a popularity contest... do whatever it takes to ensure re-election. Can you really blame them for giving people what they want? If there weren't so many complete morons around we wouldn't have this problem. I think there...

    The flu

    or not.

    The flu

    I get sick plenty but it is never the flu, just a cold.
  13. I

    The flu

    I prefer to take my chances than get an injection that I probably won't need. I haven't been to a doctor at all for about 10 years or something.

    The flu

    I've only ever had the flu once than I can remember, that was about 7 or 8 years ago.

    Ureasonable?

    Can't you have sex another time.... before you get picked up? I didn't think there was a rule that said you could only have sex late at night right before you go to sleep.

    2007 NRL Thread

    By poor playing standards I am referring to the constant dropped ball, missed tackles, pathetic efforts in attack, inability to score points, a ridiculous amount of inconsistency from just about every team except for the Storm and the Eagles, a ridiculous amount of inconsistency from just about...

    2007 NRL Thread

    I don't care what 100 first grade players said. I watch most games and the standard of play this year has been absolutely horrible.

    2007 NRL Thread

    Of course it had nothing at all to do with the Storm playing poorly. I have almost had enough with the competition this year. It may be close but the playing standard is horrible and I am sick of it. I hope it is better next year.

    Ureasonable?

    Obviously... but they don't have to encourage it. Only until they wait until his parents think they are asleep then go into the same room and have sex.

    Ureasonable?

    Most parents have enough sense not to fall for lies and excuses. I know my parents wouldn't believe any of it. Fortunately for me I am an adult and even more importantly I am a guy so they don't care who I have sex with.
