Do you agree with Democracy?

[Republique della France]

He also invaded Czechoslovakia, and not one nation lifted a finger.

The fact is, that Gdansk belonged to Germany, and they had a right to save Germans that were being persecuted by the Poles.

are you a troll or something? I find it hard to believe that anyone could believe in this.

No, I am not a 'troll."

Ostpreussen needed to be connected to the rest of Germany. Why would any nation accept to be divided by the whims of another?

[Arglorand]

I like parliamentary federal democracies.

What if the country is small enough for any federalism to be unnecessary?

[Infected Mushroom]

I think it depends on who you choose for the position. Some people are more corruptible than others, but if you choose a real man of honor (someone like Eddard Stark from Game of Thrones for example), it could be a really great system.

And it wouldn't be vulnerable to the flaws of democracy (always being tied by the majority even when they are wrong, vulnerability to corruption by corporations, gridlock and bickering etc).

It is very vulnerable into turning into an authoritarian regime, along with corruption. A benevolent dictatorship is unrealistic. Over time, it is inevitable that it will become authoritarian.

which is why succession is so important in such a system.

[Shnercropolis]

No it isn't. Also, I was waiting for you to say this. You were so neatly tap-dancing around it that I had a strong feeling you would.

It's no secret masses of people, especially Europeans do not believe the holocaust happened.

So they live closer to the death camps, where you can literally see mass graves... and they don't believe it?

[Scomagia]

No it isn't. Also, I was waiting for you to say this. You were so neatly tap-dancing around it that I had a strong feeling you would.

It's no secret masses of people, especially Europeans do not believe the holocaust happened.

It's also no secret that masses of people don't believe the moon landing happened. Both groups are factually, provably wrong.

[The New Lowlands]

I like to think the question is ridiculous. Of course I do.

Then why are you Pro-Ukraine? Crimea held a referendum which stated that the overwhelming majority wanted to be under Russian rule. If you support Democracy, you should support Putin.

How does being Pro-Ukraine necessarily equate to opposing Crimean secession from the country?

You know that that was a bullshit excuse invented out of nothing to justify internally a war of expansion, right?

Democracy has thus far proven to lead to some of the most stable, equitable, and powerful countries on earth. It has a pretty good rap in my book.

No, it wasn't an excuse.

If you read Mein Kampf, you will know the Soviet Union was to be invaded any day.

Yes. Why would Poland accept to be divided by Germany over its whim to have a land corridor to its first historical colony?

[The Orson Empire]

No it isn't. Also, I was waiting for you to say this. You were so neatly tap-dancing around it that I had a strong feeling you would.

It's no secret masses of people, especially Europeans do not believe the holocaust happened.

It's no secret that masses of people believe climate change isn't real. That doesn't make them right, though.

[Laerod]

I like to think the question is ridiculous. Of course I do.

Then why are you Pro-Ukraine? Crimea held a referendum which stated that the overwhelming majority wanted to be under Russian rule. If you support Democracy, you should support Putin.

A referendum that was botched and unfair even by the standards the Nazis set for unfair elections in the referendum to the Austrian Anschluss.

It wouldn't be divided.

Germany was divided.

Not Poland. Ostpreussen had no connection to Mainland Germany.

[Arglorand]

Then why are you Pro-Ukraine? Crimea held a referendum which stated that the overwhelming majority wanted to be under Russian rule. If you support Democracy, you should support Putin.

If I support democracy, I should support a homophobic ukrainophobic bigot dictator whose idea of a referendum is to let Russian soldiers vote and Neo-Nazis act as "foreign observers"?

Don't make me laugh, fascist. Submit to your idol all you like, but I like freedom.

[Republique della France]

It's no secret masses of people, especially Europeans do not believe the holocaust happened.

Yes.

I thought it was common knowledge that Europeans don't really believe the holocaust happened.

[Othelos]

Beautiful aside from the Ghettos and Genocide, of course.

The genocide is up for debate as to whether or not it even happened.

no, reality is not up for debate.

Russia seems okay with it.
As does Azerbaijan.
And Spain.
Modern Italy, and, surprise, surprise, Germany.

Any non-American/EU, completely unbiased evidence?

And no, anybody could edit wikipedia... It is not a source.

[Scomagia]

So they live closer to the death camps, where you can literally see mass graves... and they don't believe it?

Yes.

I thought it was common knowledge that Europeans don't really believe the holocaust happened.

It's irrelevant because The Holocaust did happen.

[SaintB]

I don't have to agree with it but I get my say anyway; that's kind of the point of democracy.

[Laerod]

I like parliamentary federal democracies.

What if the country is small enough for any federalism to be unnecessary?

Then we shall call it Belgium.

[The New Lowlands]

So they live closer to the death camps, where you can literally see mass graves... and they don't believe it?

Yes.

I thought it was common knowledge that Europeans don't really believe the holocaust happened.

Speaking as a European, that's bullshit.

[Arglorand]

Then why are you Pro-Ukraine? Crimea held a referendum which stated that the overwhelming majority wanted to be under Russian rule. If you support Democracy, you should support Putin.

How does being Pro-Ukraine necessarily equate to opposing Crimean secession from the country?

I oppose that secession too, don't you think for a moment that I don't.

[Greater Mackonia]

I doubt that.

You doubt the empirically verified phenomenon?

I could just be mis-interpreting this but according to the article itself:

"...has generally been found to be as good as, and often better than, the answer given by any of the individuals within the group"

That has nothing to do with their reasoning in comparison to experts, anyway the entire phenomenon seems rather bogus and I see little real empirical evidence to its truth. There will always emerge superior individuals, there will always be stupider individuals and it is paramount that the views of the second group do not override the first.

That is a crock of shit. Who told you that?

[Othelos]

...he invaded poland...

He also invaded Czechoslovakia, and not one nation lifted a finger.

appeasement.

The fact is, that Gdansk belonged to Germany, and they had a right to save Germans that were being persecuted by the Poles.

even if that were true, irrelevant to the fact that he started the war.
