OM thinks Germans are as easily cowed by police action.

That's because killing people isn't their intention. Rolling Eyes

haha same old argument...when the Opposition cannot even persuade enough of their own members to stand for elections, blame it on the government. By your argument, if the Opposition parties cannot even field a single candidate, does that mean the elections will be invalid? No, it just shows how little support Opposition parties have.

oxford mushroom SG

they did...but i suppose not very effective when they are drowned by water cannons

And what democracy is there in a military coup? Think Thailand, Myanmar and Pakistan Laughing

In any case, democracy is overated. Political democracy does not always translate into prosperity and a better life...think Indonesia and the Philippines Mr. Green

sourketchup SG

On the other hand, a true democracy does not mean there would be no flourishing economy. Your logic is skewed.

Kuali Baba SG

Ans where did you get that information from?

Here's how the protests elsewhere went alright: http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,487281,00.html

qwerys SG

has anyone heard of the million man march?

will4 SG

I read there is a protest against the present rulers in Thailand over the handling of the economy.

LazerLordz SG

Oh quit whoring our neighbours, and look North of your lovely UK. Rolling Eyes Indonesia and Philippines are not considered truly democratic according to anyone vaguely educated in political theory.

There's no democracy in a military coup, and stop that mental trainspotting for awhile and start by looking and actually understanding what people are talking about. Laughing

Did I even mention the Opposition? I am asking you to go and ask the Govt to declare itself a dictatorship. Besides, from all the posts you have made, you totally whoring and licking the PAP's foot to the absolute point of sycophancy. It's only a natural thing that you actually ask the PAP to go declare itself the only party to do so since the PAP constructed the entire electoral system to keep itself in power regardless what the Opposition does.

So quit strawmaning and if you don't even understand the meaning of the "fallacy of the strawman", you are a disgrace to the entire race and should quit posting and embarrassing yourself by posting.

Fingolfin_Noldor SG

There you go. "Democracy is overrated." Go ask the GOvt to declare itself a dictatorship.

And yet on the other hand, the European nations and the United States survive quite well enough with some degree of Chaos. YOu are just an ostrich with its head in the ground too frightened and too masochistic to think of the alternative because you are too STUPID to think about it and the only thing you possibly care about is your own POCKET and not the poor. The poor to you are better off DEAD since they deserve their FATE.

walesa SG

It'd be less of a concern if that's what he genuinely thinks. It's quite another matter if that's the result of a machine churning out the fascist propaganda he has been inundated with... Laughing

Fingolfin_Noldor SG

That's what they term as "airhead". Laughing
