The man was a cripple and had support shoes for his feet that were shod in metal. In order to get through the metal detectors, he had to remove them.

It doesn't matter. All it takes for the social contract to be null and void is one person who doesn't like the government. The only system that can really solve that problem and give a voice to all concerned is that on a democratic model.


I stopped listening when you made yourself into my hypocrite of the day.

The entire BASIS of "American" democratic countries is to give the people a sense of "freedom", and yet you're saying that these countries that have had democracy instilled in them don't have the freedom to not choose democracy?

Aren't they supposed to be, you know, "free"? Or are they just "under American rule"?

I'm ruthless enough to believe in Silvershield's idea, as many ends DO justify their means. However, I also agree with his logic that an end and a means are far too narrow-minded of a choice to be made. More often than not, there is a third, and indeed a fourth and fifth choice, which lead to means that really don't require justification.

Janus looked around, and took note of the sudden influx of Gryffindors.

Janus (thinking): 'Is this what Malfoy meant when he said "one of ours"? There's not many people coming here, or to the other houses. I guess Gryffindor is the class for everyone who doesn't fit into one of these three. I hope that's not the case, those people I met all seemed pretty unique, to me...'

He lost himself further in his thoughts on the subjects of evil and evil intent, and wondered if he'd really be up to the task.

I think the fact that tRO crashing coincided with me getting my internet back is an extremely obvious sign that I need to stop playing.

That said, I want the server to come back up, too. I need to level my wizard.

Not wanting to be left behind in a room that was previously and could soon become filled with Koopas again, Grey walked alongside Kirby into the dragon's den, and pitched himself to the floor in terror when he heard the dragon's booming voice...

Grey: "He's laughing for a good reason.... right?"

Way to ignore the rest of my post, which provides the basis for my statement. Calling me a hypocrite is all well and fine, but if you don't want to face the music, stay away from the concert hall, buddy. Rhetoric is all well and fine, but the purpose of conversation is to refine your own thinking, not shove your fingers in your ears and say, "
I don't like you, I'm not listening!
"

Even if a hundred percent of the people in a country could agree that they didn't want to have a democracy (doubtful), then you would still have to decide on a political system. And this political system, in order to provide the freedom that a person would have under a democracy/that would allow a vote to return to democracy if the populace so wished, would have to be on the democratic model. Democracies are about minority protection as much as they are majority rule.

You're STILL not getting it. Democracy gives people freedom, but the democratic countries in the world don't have the freedom to switch away from democracy because the country that instilled it in them (That's America, if you didn't already know) INSISTS that it's the right way to go, when it might not be for that country. My issue isn't with the ins and outs of democracy, it's with you not being able to accept the fact that sometimes, democracy isn't right. Especially not for countries that don't want it.

EDIT: And yes, that means I do advocate dictatorships in some countries, and parliamentary rule in other countries, and tyrannies in others (it worked for ancient greece because they used the REAL definition of a tyrant), and democracy in other countries, and constitutional monarchies, and regular monarchies.

To play the name game, mine's Grey for a reason. Think neutrally, for once. You don't wanna face the music? Then stay away from the concert hall, buddy.

OOC: Let's crank up the star-battle theme!!!

Grey sprung to his feet, and took a place right next to Kirby, drawing his gun and holding it in a violently trembling hand...

Grey: "No clue whatsoever why I'm doing this, especially the whole "standing in a line with my allies a set distance away from a massively powerful foe" thing, but that dragon's gonna scorch you if you face it alone!"

He loaded a titanium-coated case of ammo into his gun, and held it tightly in his hand, steeling his nerves and trying beyond all hope to look as reasonably unafraid as possible.

Blue's sunglasses shined for an instant in the gleaming sun as they turned on and began displaying physical statistics about his target...

Name: DarkSlaya
Age: ??
Weight: Human
Type: Humanoid
Resistance to Cold: ??
Analysis: User Definition


Blue (thinking): I see... This looks familiar. If he is up to what I believe he may be up to...

More statistics flashed across Blue's glasses as DarkSlaya continued to run...

Area Details: Sand/Desert
Relative Humidity: 76%
Primary Water Source: Human Spectators

Blue closed his eyes, concentrated, and clouds began to form above the desert...

Ziff, you also have to take in mind such problems as volunteer bias, conspiracists, leading questions, and general assholes. The fucking huge number probably isn't as big as it seems.

I'm more concerned about the jews "playing the victim" part. I've never heard any jewish person try to make me feel bad about the Holocaust, save for a short story about a little girl who dressed as Anne Frank for halloween. I would think the fact that so many people believing the jews are falsely portraying themselves as being victimized would contribute further to the root of hatred you speak of.

If anything, a religious war will start because people have a problem with other religions based on what they're doing NOW as opposed to what happened to them then.

Grey curled up inside his coat, as the wave of fire washed over him. When it subsided, he emerged from his coat relatively unharmed, with the exception of his hat, which caught fire almost instantly.

Grey (putting it out by stamping on it): "What? My hat! You bastard, you burned my hat!"

Grey angrily pointed his gun at Hooktail, and emptied a clip of bullets at her, which had the ability to explode like tiny grenades on contact!

Grey: "Seeing as how I haven't figured out the gimmick strategy here, let's try something generic!"
