    Other Parliamentary Democracy - is the grass greener?

    Agreed. But then you make statements like these in the same post: How is this helpful considering your initial statement? It absolutely does. You calling them "ignorant" only means you don't understand what motivated them to choose what they consider their "best interests". And this is the...

    Other Parliamentary Democracy - is the grass greener?

    But you just said: which essentially means the same thing. Let me guess: You think you are guided by reason (or educated), and people who disagree with you are susceptible to demagogic influences (or ignorant) ... This is how everybody else feels about their opinions and opponents' opinions...

    Other Parliamentary Democracy - is the grass greener?

    Sadly, I never witnessed that. Teaching critical thinking always ends with: "If you did your research correctly, then you should arrive at this conclusion." I always find it funny that we create laws to make sure that "bad" decisions will never be made - again - in the future. This is a sign...

    Other Parliamentary Democracy - is the grass greener?

    I really hate it when someone refers to part of the group they belong to as "ignorant". Why would you want to belong to a society with "ignorant" people? I mean, a group large or powerful enough for them to control the society. "Educating" the "ignorants" is another way of saying you want to...

    Civil Rights Collection of worrying incidents

    I'm without words. How can anyone in the U.S. still trust the justice system with something like that happening? How can a judge accept this ridiculous role? How can anyone take their rulings seriously after that? I know they tolerate a lot in the USA, but this ... WOW! I couldn't believe it...

    Civil Rights Collection of worrying incidents

    I don't think the Department of Homeland Security seeking deportation is about a judicial hearing on what is best for the child. Usually, the first question you are asked when appearing before a judge is how you plead to the accusations, in this case, entering the country illegally. How can...

    Civil Rights Collection of worrying incidents

    I don't understand how that can possibly work. How does a judge receive a plea from a 10-year-old? How can an answer - whether it is "guilty" or "not guilty" - be valid from a 10-year-old? Then, say he is found guilty. How does deporting a 10-year-old work when he is sent to a country he's...
