Questions: Society & Politics

Which ones. I’m just curious how other people choose to invest

Yes, diluted. It is not very concentrated. Meaning that contrary to what democracy is suppose to mean, that is to say ruling by the people, the people do not have much say on how their country is ruled! They vote once every 5 or so many years and then the ruling is in the hands of a bunch of people called government who are suppose to reflect the will of the people. I doubt it. Sure some things are delivered as promised, but that is not enough to make for a real democracy. It is like putting a teaspoon of coffee in a pitcher full of hot water, and argue that the pitcher is coffee. It is technically coffee, but very dilute and you can barley taste the coffee.

It is my view that for a country to be considered truly democratic (a true cup of coffee :p) the government should not be allowed to make decisions on projects that cost beyond a certain amount of money, and the government will not be able to make decisions on certain aspects of society. These projects and certain other decisions outside the competence of the government will call for a referendum. Only then a country will be a real democracy.

after ww2 the Americans essentially stole 1500 top German scientists. you know, the ones that invented the jet, the missile, atomic theory. if I was a German I'd be hopping mad. Germany should've been the one to go to the moon, and honestly, they probably would've made it to Mars 30 years ago if they won WW2.

It's ludicrous some bumbling old fool can send young men out into battlefields to get maimed and killed while he sits in safety. in WW1 the King of Belgium was on the battlefield, because that's what being the leader is about
