philosophy

a very good example :-) why strive for the best and compare ourselves with democratic, developed countries? No, we don't need to. Let's follow the path of backward and exotic countries. You forgot about Africa!!!!

Okay, let's take America as an example, it seems to be the pinnacle for you. If you have time, read about how they treated Vietnam War veterans... how they threw crippled, legless people into the trash and said, "You are no longer needed, you lost the war," or the current situation where 90% of the population is in favor of withdrawing troops from Iraq, but the president doesn't even care. That's true democracy... Do you need more examples, or is that enough?
