@GRUN : our democraty work fine ,thanks.

Radio stations WANT you to call in so they know what to play to please their listeners. It's called free enterprise, that's why it's weird to you.

Nothing like a good tentative of name calling.
You forgot to say : "Commie bastard".

Try to answer this question :

You can also think a bit about this sentence :

"Majority minus one is allways wrong"

Again, you are obviously a stranger to true freedom. In the U.S., we have choices. Most things develope through a vote of some kind.

If you want laws made that follow your train of thought, you vote for the politician that is most similar to you.

If you want laws passed, you vote in the referendum.

If you want the lobster roll back at McD's, you write them a letter.

If you want radio stations to play your music, you give them a call.

If you don't want to be part of the "majority -1", then you cast your ballot. If you aren't vocal, then you have noone to blame but yourself when things don't go your way.

I do understand how this confuses you strafoo as you livin a country whose president is telling whole nations to shut up and not even voice their opionios at all.

Classic Grunherzian sig material.

So if I follow you logic if a dictator got 51 vote of 100 all is fine ?

It's very weird.

Why is that weird? If the majority wanted him in, then he should serve. If after his 4 year term they no longer want him, then he's out. If he is completely failing in his role, then he is removed from office.

So how many WW2 Nazi songs play on french radio? And if a station played them how long would it get away with it without drewing ire from the public. An exaggerated example but I think
you can see.

Well you prolly choose not to but thats your problem..

You don't need to remind me. While I'm not an expert, I'm familiar with much of history.

I guess I just fail to see your point. You asked what would happen under our system if a dictator was elected. I told you. I didn't even get into the "we wouldn't elect a dictator" argument.

I then told you what would happen if he didn't fulfill his duties. We don't elect "dictators". Once he won the election, he would become a president. You cannot be "Dictator of the United States of America". Unless the country wanted to change it's name.

BS Cough BS.... Well he was elected in the sense Saddam Hussein was elected a few months ago. I believe the referundum on his dictatorship turned out some 98.7% Ja!

not the first time (but I'll verify it's time to eat here).

My point : is you should be more tolerant and not use censure !

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #101 on:** March 18, 2003, 05:18:54 AM »

So what did you find noteworthy in that Dowding, Chirac openly told half of eastern europe to shut up about their pro USA opinions of the war or face reprecussions in the EU application process... '

But Dowding I'm sure you will give us all a facinating postive spin to the whole thing on how France is good and the USA is evil - I cant wait...

Either you have trouble choosing the right words in English, so you say things not quite how you mean to same them, or you are really not that bright.

THEY WEREN'T CENSORED.

roadkill strafool.

You said you supported Chirac and he told millions of newly free former communisim opressed east europeans to shut up or face the consquences. I will not allow you to get away with this hipocrisy now.

point me this post GRUN.

@martlet : this is my interpretation but I can be wrong ,it won't be the 1st time I make an error.

Un seul mauvais exemple, une fois donné, est capable de corrompre toute une nation, et l'habitude devient une tyrannie.
