I think this will become an interesting topic at least I hope so. And my answer is dictatorship.

I disagree with the generalisations made in those options (many of them cover more than one type of government)

I voted for Monarchy because i support the government form of my country (being a Constitutional Monarchy). But i believe in democracy (the representative form also being a part of my country's Constitutional Monarchy).

But i am not going to back up my beliefs with reasoning, that is what i believe in, and thats that

well I thought it was easier to take the basic governments and startig to list all different types of democracy and others. just like in the religion poll. I only named christianity while I could have named lutheranism, catholicism and orthodoxism.

Dictatorship is the only one that really works in my mind.

Yeah, i know, i just feel like being awkward today

well monarchy is one sort of dictatorship if the king/queen has absolute power.

Slornie · « **Reply #5 on:** October 16, 2007, 09:18:43 AM »

In one sense, yes you could describe a Monarchy as a Dictatorship. But in a Consitutional Monarchy, the Monarch has little (if any) role in the day-to-day decision making process.

which is why I said "if the king/queen has absolute power".

Heil Hitler Muil Mussolini Meil Kosola!

Chances are Meyer, You're about to be BANNED.

While I don't mind the Kosola part, the Mussolini and Hitler parts I do mind. Final warning.

(For the record, I find meritocracy interesting. Seems like it may work well.)

What wrong on that sentence? It's only a little play with the words. though they are finnish words so you don't get it but still.

Kalo · « **Reply #14 on:** October 17, 2007, 01:59:39 PM »

Deal with it.

Meyer · « **Reply #15 on:** October 17, 2007, 03:05:56 PM »

I don't have to. I understand them well. your problem.

Corey · « **Reply #16 on:** October 17, 2007, 03:18:33 PM »

1. Heil Hitler I understand. I wouldn't be saying anything about it if you hadn't made racist remarks in the past.

2. Our forums. Our language. You DO have to deal with it. Especially since whenever you speak anything but English, you tend to be insulting people.

Meyer · « **Reply #17 on:** October 17, 2007, 03:25:58 PM »

well maybe I explain it to you so you don't have to make a fuss about everything that isn't english.

If you pronounce Heil like it's written it means they or in this case they have.
If you pronounce Muil like it's written it means others and in this case others have.
If you pronounce Meil like it's written it means we or we have.
So sentence Heil Hitler Muil Mussolini Meil Kosola simply is a joke that means: They (germans) have Hitler others have Mussolini and we Kosola (leader of Lapua Movement).

Corey · « **Reply #18 on:** October 17, 2007, 03:41:14 PM »

I don't make a "fuss" about everything that isn't English, I make a "fuss" about things when they say stuff that some people may find offensive unless they pronounce them out loud and then laugh at them because when pronounced they mean something else in an entirely different fucking language.

As I said, you had languages that aren't English barred to you on this board when you started insulting other people in them so we couldn't understand you.

Se, as they say in Quebec, fermez ta bouche.

Meyer · « **Reply #19 on:** October 17, 2007, 03:47:00 PM »

dunno what that means and don't take offense about that. That's the problem about americans they think that if they don't understand something it must be insulting. And you can always check something you don't understand. And I insulted ONE person who insulted me back as much.

Poll

Which one do you think works the best?
