Why the hell is anyone replying still? There isn't even an "argument" to advance or defend, anymore.
It's all useless mud being flung in here.

What you perceived as an insult is nothing more than the use of the right word for the right meaning.

If you find yourself in that situation then go ahead and walk in the quicksand. You could also argue that since he would be in front of you leading the group that he would perish before you came to the quicksand thus you didn't have to follow him anymore. A stupid counterpoint to a retarded argument. We're not talking about the blind leading the blind.

kaninelupus> A good chunk of your population never votes... they just b1tch about things when the elected govt doesn't cater to their whims
What an astonishing revelation it would have been, if it were not for the little "inconvenience" that it is just your own speculation. Nonetheless, let me increase your extensive knowledge of the form and behavior of the people of this land in political matters.
Opposite to other forms of government, the freedom of voting or not, doesn't hinder their right to bitch at any time. That right is obtained by paying taxes.
" That right is obtained by paying taxes." What utter CRAP!! Even citizens of Communist states pay taxes in one form or another. The right to b1tch and whine is NOT earned by simply paying taxes, but by involving oneself in the democratic process... ie, VOTING. If one does not wish to involve themselves in the process of electing a political leader they have NO right to then b1tch and whine when either the leader elected is not to their liking, or things don't go their way... PERIOD!!

kaninelupus> You have a system where-by, no matter how well a president does his job, he cannot serve more than 2 terms
I know! Incredible, isn't it? It should be only six months, but I suppose that due to the cost of campaigns we had to go for a compromise. We don't like dictators no matter how well they do.

kaninelupus> ... almost NO other nation has this system
That's why we are The United States of America, and not The Generic League of Countries in One State.

kaninelupus> On top of that, despite the state of things in your country, your govt is forever telling other countries how they should operate!
Other countries don't think of that when they come asking for helping money.
Well given the way your country at one minute funds the terrorists (both Bin Laden and Saddam Hussain), then bombs the crap out of their country when partnership no longer suits them, don't you think those countries have the innate RIGHT to expect your country to shell out to clean up the mess??
As I said before, if you don't have the intellectual capacity to maturely interact within an adult conversation, go to the corner and sulk quietly!!
kaninelupus> According to statistics compiled off your own Bureau of Statistics, 58% of the eligible voting population actually voted.
If I take those results as authoritative, almost 60% of a population of a quarter of billion is not a small representation at all, considering that we are not forced to vote like in some other form of government, and the remainder %40 which does not vote are exercising their right to not do so. Still even if only 15% or less vote your comments are still speculative since there's no way for you to know that people which do not vote and those which complains are the same people.
I am afraid I am going to have to quote this whole epic failure from kaninelupus
PERIOD? Don't you wish.
In this Land things are different of what your personal philosophy thinks the rest of the World should abide by.
We believe in "No taxation without representation."
I am going to ignore the rest of the blah-blah, italics and bold writing directed to my alias.
