Ladies and gentlemen, the honorable Argonath Minister of Education, Aleksandar Gojkovic.

On a more serious note, I would rather say the government is stupid, than the people. There is a reason "politician" is synonymous with "stupid" in several parts of the globe today.

Yes, our Government is that stupid.

And, please read what JDC said.. don't judge a country by its politicians.

Considering USA is a ''democracy'', it is the people who put these politicians in power.

As Machiavelli said, a prince can be judged based on the ministers he elects.

That would imply it follows the strict definition of a democracy. Canada for example is considered a democracy but if you really look at the system, if the ruling political party has the majority of the seats in the house of commons, it can do whatever it wants and no one can do anything about it. There is no true democracy just as true communism does not exist.

Post by: JDC on May 13, 2012, 04:59:25 am: My country as well is ostensibly democratic... but the power is kept between the politicians.

Yes, we can vote. But who is it that decides which candidates we can vote for? The government.

No, but it's true that high ranking British soldiers are training American soldiers in the US.
I actually saw something on TV, a British soldier was in the US to train some of their troops when he stumbled upon a security van with 2 dead security guards inside, it was on an FBI documentary. :razz:

Post by: ElMartu on May 19, 2012, 12:36:19 am: It might be true, but remember that for every British instructor in the US Army there must be hundreds, if not thousands of American instructors.
