    I understood all of that except two things:
    1. Why did you splice my post, but include the comment on the PRC, but then make no reference to it?
    2. What are you saying? Why did you say 'no' at the beginning? Your post is exactly what I said [or thought I said]. And YES, I am perfectly aware of the faults of a Direct Democratic system.
    Regardless, please open up a dictionary and start distinguishing 'there' from 'their'.

    1. I don't know
    2. I don't know. I think I was trying to dismiss the notion that representative democracy autmatically leads to tyranny.

    I could but that would require me to go buy one and i'm much to cheap to do that, and im much to lazy to go Google the definitions.

    1. Ok...?
    2. Oh, so no problem then. That was coming from Washington, so I don't really have a problem with that. Though he kind of said 'eventually' as to 'automatically'.
    I honestly do not care HOW you do it.

    they're - contraction of they and are, ex "they're winning the game"
    their - indicates possesion, ex "it's their peanut"
    there - the other one? Basically if the other two don't fit, ex "there you have it"

    Done

    The problem is that I just recently learned that my wife may be required for mandatory service. If she isn't, I would certainly consider going back to my original plan. Still, it's something I've recently been putting a lot of thought into, considering a lot of my friends and family have said they are going to fight, if this war comes soon. The one thing that's for certain though, is that I will move my family away, if it comes suddenly. The plan is to move out of Israel soon anyway though, so, hopefully, if I come back to fight, they will be quite safe.

    Actually it is, right behind is the good old nation of Somalia. Where the sun is always shining and the AK-47s are always firing.

    We got into the subject of China being capitalist or not, though really why do we always seem to get in China in threads?


    Back on Subject, So about the Iran hmm.

    China is running a socialist market economy and is hardly capitalist in any definition of the word.
