All you've ever known,in your short life,is socialism..so it doesn't suprise me much,when you say that you don't support democracy per se,try living in a country like Saudi,and you'll realize that I'm right about democracy and freedom. If you are a man who believes that he has the right to beat and rape his wife,or kill her for looking at another man..then arab culture,of the muslim kind..is for you. Do you also believe that honor killings and cliterectomies are part of a 'good' culture ? How about slavery and forced conversion to Islam..is that a desirable or justifiable part of any culture ? Why should the Free World,tolerate that type of culture..anymore ?

Have a good one ...
Yo,

Nope, I don't agree with any of those things. You should know I don't. However, I don't agree with alot of things that regularly happen in a democracy either... things like state sanctioned executions, the dependancy on bureaucracy, governments interfering in the personal lives of it's citizens (War on Drugs, etc)... I was just saying that nothing is perfect, not even democracy.

You should know by now that I want freedom for everybody just as much as the next guy... and like I said before, if that means supporting democracy then i'll do so. But I don't and never will believe democracy to be the Holy Grail of politics.

Peace and Poltergeists!
