| Icy-Zone said: Yeah, because all the invasions and murders caused by your great and merciful "democracy" are certainly outweighed by the dastardly deeds caused by these "evil dictators." "Wise men never argue with fools, because people from a distance can't tell who is who." So unless you give some really strong points that can convince me and the world that America is in fact "stable," I'm going have to leave you alone on this debate. |
There are no credible movements that even encompass .0001% of the population planning to overthrow the United States government?
I mean. That was my point about stability and what I said about it.
A leader in this day in age is only going to use Nukes if put in a nowin situation in which they are likely going to be put to death anyway.
Democracies, don't get violently overthrown... because the people in them can always be overthrown simply via voting... at worst you end up with a slide back into dictatorships... which apparently according to your video would be an improvement?
Outside which, it seems to ignore the point of "Once a country has nuclear weapons there is nothing you can do about it."
As for the "invasions and murders"... it's all a matter of context... you don't think dictatorship in America's shoes would be as bad... if not worse?
Even if you buy western people such as Americans as being enslaved via consumerism... well damn. I'd rather be kept in line with Ipods and Videogames, then secret police and thread of death at disent.
Even if you saw the US as nothing more then the Roman empire... it's worth noting, that Bread and Circus was used because it created a far more stable society then threats and violence.
