Democracy sucks

It does. Think about it. Or atleast listen to my thoughts for a second.

Majority of the people vote for people whom put money to adverticement, are celebrities, have been sitting in the parliament for decades, are somewhat trust-worthy and bla bla.

Seriously. Even retards have a right to vote. About someone they want to. How much does an average idiot know? I concider myself as "above average", and I don't know shit. And they let us to "decide" how the country goes for next 6 (six) years. Oh jeez.

What we need are some civil service agents, not chosen by people, not chosen by political parties, not chosen by money. But chosen by merits, their doings. Yea yea, kinda hard to say whom are good for those, but that isn't the point. The point is that nowadays any idiot can be chosen by any idiot, and those idiots act by their "political view", which is too more often restricted.

And about political parties, those should be separated from the state (as well as the church, like they don't have any affect to the state). It is so ridiculous, people whom are trying to do "good" for all, arguing about idiotic issues, differing about those issues, depending if they are in the government or in the opposition. Arguing just for the sake of the argument (yeye, we would agree, but we can't because we aren't in the government). And that they have to make differences against each others, because if you don't differ you from them, you might aswell vote for the other.

BAN VOTING / PARTIES / POLITICIANS




The point is. Play ET, wank, do something at sunday. Just don't vote

We seriously need an "delete this idiots comment" or "ban" option for anyone (not for anyone, just for me)

True democracies can't get shit done. (Don't even really exist)
Democratic republics just become corrupt and shit.
Ill vote some pirate partie
you have them too? we even have one called pirate party...all about internets stuff and so on.
Parent
yea we do, i dont know which is their point of view in other matters actually :D
Parent
look for their program...or not. but then hate-vote them :D
Parent
Oh please, those are the worst opinions. There is this "pirate party" in Finland atm, full of dorks.

They got like few good ideas, then a dishful of so retardish opinions that they are a disgrace for the idea...

EDIT: Besides, they won't get anyone to the parliament, so their votes will be distributed to some other party (depends of their allies, not sure whom they are with).
Parent
i dno shit they say tbh, i just heard they want inet freedom and since there is this new law in spain whos gna close all websites which have movies online etc.. they will also make it hard for us to download stuff.


@ your edit, yes i know i thought about it aswell but u know if u dont vote, it actually helps the bigger parties which i hate the most.
Parent
I got no problems with that, I think that people who make movies / softwares / music have to have compensation for their work have to get money for that. And they are basically saying "no, everything is open, has to be free". But it isn't just about that, they try to declare ultimate freedom of saying, no control at all. And I disagree on that issue, I think that some authority has to have saying for what you can publice. Don't basically care if it is the government, independent group or the police, just that there has to be someone who draws the line.
Parent
yeh perhaps with movies, but not with music tbh.

cds are overpriced and we dont need half the job record labels do, actually only musicians who whine about piracy are the shit ones or some oldies. only the 98% of all musicians can make a living out of cds (it is actually a 98%) nowdays with internet u dont need those ppl making cds, the new era is about u get your stuff on the internet and ppl listens to u, and its actually way easier to become known rather than before when we only had cds, thats when musicians make their money: they fill up their gigs.

u can also promocionate yourself etc etc unlike before when someone else did it all for u and he took 19 euros out of 20 when a cd was sold.

thing is were on a new era and they need to adapt oviously all free is not the way but definitely not the old one either.

Anyway im going to sleep, i have somehow normal sleeping patterns for once.
Parent
Just talking about albums now, you are an artist, make a CD, get around 5% profit for it. Sucks. Won't buy it anyway, most of the profits come from the merchandise and touring anyway. It is just the record labels arguing about those.
Parent
there is nothing wrong with buying music
Parent
i know what you meant with the other journal, so i wont comment on this (or maybe later). cant think about such things right now.

all i know is: i watched that video 2 times already ;)

peace thomm!
I'm with you Thomm m8.
Shit's messed up but it's probably the best shit we can realistically come up with.
A majority of people is stupid, that seems rather natural so see someone idiot appearing. Deal with the others, quite hard business but I'm afraid that's the only solution...
Well, 50% of the people are stupider than the average... That's democracy for you.
Parent
I mean more (many more !) of 50% of the people are retard, ignorant, uneducated, etc. (I don't mean to sound offensive or elitist, that's a fact. Therefore, you have to undergo the will of that stupid majority (after all, even the most stupid persons are allowed to express an opinion), hence the probability to see retarded people being elected and taking retarded decisions (see Sarkozy or M. Le Pen in France). Deal with the mass, everyone's voice counts.)
Parent
man that sarkozy guy is totally fucked up, so are most of the leaders atm... didnt he want to take over libya?XD
Parent
Nah, he needed a good action to go back up in opinion polls for the next elections, so he needed something people would approve, which means helping the persecuted and slaughtered Lybians so people would think : Oh boy, that Sarkozy is really awesome, he, like a superhero, runs to save some people's life. But he does not mean to take over Lybia, or steal its oil, or anything like that.
Parent
He is a cunt tbh.
Parent
Couldn't agree more, he proved he was one in the past and proves it every day, that's one of the most despicable person on Earth, really...
Parent
as things look here our next president is gonna be a sarkozy alike (right winged and kinda the same idelogy as sarkozy) he is a cunt just as he is. his partie was founded by old franco helpers (the fascist dicator) so u can imagine...
Parent
Nationalism's rebirth... What's his name ??

We should give extreme socialism another try I think.
It's representative democracy though. It's flawed, but probably one of the best forms of government at our disposal atm. The medium has surpassed the message in importance, that's certainly a bad thing indeed. Technocracy would be a solution you are leaning towards, but that can be a dangerous path.
hows belgium doing without a government?
Parent
reasonably well considering the circumstances, proof it works despite it's flaws.

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
~ Winston Churchill

The problem with dictatorships is that—while they can work great under a solid founding leader—they tend have major issues when that person dies and succession comes up (either that or somebody rebels and takes out the old dictator by violence). You can look back through history all the way to the ancient Greeks and their tyrants to see some of the flaws.

Democracy has very severe drawbacks, but it's the best thing we've come up with so far for the majority of the people.
Well, Gaddafi is a good example of dictatorship, initially he helped Libya prosper, then went nuts and shit got ugly.
Parent
Democracy can work if you have above average educated population..

Rather that than dictatorship which is like playing russian roulette.
Not to mention the retarded system here that shit won't even be considered if it isn't the party consensus, so it makes no difference what the politicians claim to push for.

Also, RIP George Carlin :(
supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses ...

QuoteAnd about political parties, those should be separated from the state
Imo this system just has to come to an end. For example here in germany you have only 3(...if you want to 5) parties to consider. and they're not exactly differing that much. not that they're taking care of quite some major issues anyway. well some views of some parties are quite ok'ish, whilst others are not. And when a party or two together get the majority of votes they mostly agree on about every topic that comes up anyway, not what each delegate thinks about it on his own. Not to mention, that the parties here rather decide on agreeing in every point instead of risking that there would really be a decision made by the majority of the pariament.
I'd actually rather like to see independed persons, of which you probably know or which has been proven to be reliable and somewhat intelligent, being voted into parliament instead. And yes, thats an dellusional idea, i know, since every voter would have to be informed about every single person and would have to cast what, 120 votes? (Well then lets just not vote every 4 years 120 persons, but every year 30 of em?) Most voters here do not even know about what the parties they vote for do anyway, so would that be much more of a change?!
Journal too serious for me this hour sorry tommigun :(

Why exactly should the Church be seperated from the state?
why should it be included in the state?
Parent
not voting is also pointless, more pointless than voting in fact.
None of your thoughts make any sense at all.
i'll vote just to annoy you
