N.O.R.F Posted March 6, 2008 ol democracy lord help me people are overfeed with its illusion that they start subscribing to its existence. Do me a favour if you know anything about democracy you will know there is no such thing as democracy there is only interest/power accumulation.... I wouldnt go as far as that but there is this concept that democracy equals a better society but all we all know thats nonesense. The chance to choose a leader doesnt hold as much weight as people think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geel_jire Posted March 6, 2008 nicely put CL. The west has a problem with their own definition of democracy for example Hamas is a democratically elected party of the Palestinian people.....but if the definition of the term keeps changing depending on their mood then there is something wrong !

Jamster Posted March 6, 2008 The sovereigen funds that many are speaking about in the west (UAE has one, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait) though these are supposedly country owned; it is in the hands of the famalies that run those countries-- we are talking about Trillions of Investments within these Inst.

Pure. Total. Full-blown. Complete. NONESENSE! You could apply the same weak argument to faith, principles, ideals and anything else you wish to disparage. It still remains nothing but simple drivel (with all due respect of course). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
