development of the conversation
the only annoying thing is taxes but it is unnecessary to complain about such a small thing

and important. I thing taxes are good. they help the whole country. and without taxes there is no army, free health-care and public transportation etc.

i know
but some of our taxes go to pamper the queen

well the salary of an member of an Parliament is very high. I don't remember exact figures but much more than average salary. And all they have to do is to get their asses in the Parliament house once a year! and we have 200 of those. so they basically get paid for doing nothing.

Meyer · « **Reply #251 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:01:51 PM »

because of those outrageous salaries and the fact that MPs don't get anything done, I prefer dictatorship.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #252 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:07:04 PM »

dictatorship is pointless
people's interests arent accounted for
and it always leads to corruption
mugabe, etc
all corrupt

Kratas · « **Reply #253 on:** October 24, 2007, 07:31:33 AM »

it also leads to war

Meyer · « **Reply #254 on:** October 24, 2007, 11:02:59 AM »

who says that dictatorship leads corrupiton and war? It only happens when dictators are fools. A good leader can be dictator without corruption, war and massmurders.

Kratas · « **Reply #255 on:** October 24, 2007, 11:37:27 AM »

listening to you anyone would think you were a dictator

Meyer · « **Reply #256 on:** October 24, 2007, 01:31:50 PM »

I'm not, yet. but if one man or woman decides everything it means that something will be done. now there are, in Finland for example, 200 MPs who just debate and don't get anything done. because only thing they agree is that they should get a raise. And of course that one leader can have and should have assistants. but the ultimate decision would be his/hers.

Kratas · « **Reply #257 on:** October 24, 2007, 01:43:03 PM »

i agree nothing ever gets done apart from more and more roadworks

Democracy is a good system, we all just have the wrong people leading it

vadereclipse · « **Reply #259 on:** October 24, 2007, 04:54:17 PM »

well said scarecrow
and meyer, the onkly good dictator (from a to his people view, not in reasons of hum,anity adnd characteristics) was genghis Khan, who was known to be a rapist and has a gene pool of over 10 million poeople
but he brought together all the tribes of mongolia
needless to say, that cant happn in modern times.
