My best teacher was Miss Thompson in HomeEc. As I said history is against you. Keep on hoping and I'll keep watch.

So tell us about this Miss Thompson Stro.

Other delta: we don't have a "free electoral system" - we have an electoral college.

Using democracy is just a simple reference to a philosophical set of governance.

How would you call the System , which in "Democracy Principals" support Monarchies and in the same time militarily overthrowing democratically elected leaders of another countries ? I just want to clarify the meaning of Hypocrisy .

" I pledge alegience to the flag of The United States of America. And to the Republic for witch it stands". That should end the question of A Democracy or a Republic. Either way you describe our Country, It is the BEST on the Planet! If someone disagrees, then they can go somewhere else to live. I'm proud to be an American. We don't always do the correct things, but no other place does either.

I understand the colloquial usage... but it's inaccurate. I wouldn't call a chicken a turkey and I don't refer to my bathtub as a tea kettle.

I also don't get how it seems to be a "Patriotic" fad to tell people who disagree to move out; this can be argued to be just the opposite... un-Patriotic... un-American... un-Free Thinking... and simplistic. If I wanted to live in a country where we were all FORCED to think in lock-step with each other, well, I guess there are countries that favor that.

We as a PEOPLE are great... and we as a GOVERNMENT are also pretty darn good. But as a GOVERNMENT, we've also done some conniving under-handed, and, yes, hypocritical things. Shall we put on the rose-colored glasses and look upon these things with smiles? Or shall we recognize such actions for what they are and strive to be better?

We show no integrity if we can't recognize our own faults; the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon the guys who died in WWII is to hold ourselves to high standards and continue being a place worth defending.

Les - either UBL (Usama Bin Laden) or the head of ISIS (whoever holds that post this week) or Iran's caliphate, or Iraq's leader or anyone else being invited to dinner does NOT equate to a foreign policy.
You have obviously no clue as to what is involved in foreign policy. Especially when it comes to treaties of alliance & protection we have with other countries. And yes, I too believe that gas should be $10 a gallon - like the rest of the world.

And when I - not shooter (let's get the rest of the names correct) - asked you to elaborate on your "foreign policy," you went off on tangents as a response so I am forced to surmise that you either have no legitimate response or this is a game to you. Rest assured that it is no game to me and forces me to conclude that you are in way over your head. This would be a good example of not knowing when to "keep silence and let others believe you the fool, than to open your mouth and leave no doubt."

Bottom line: I gave you a blank canvas to paint in whatever rainbow colors the mechanics of your global kumbaya hypotheses and you think a dinner party will resolve the issues.
Not even a legitimate attempt at a solution. FAIL.

It is obvious English is not your first language.
It is obvious from your views that you are from a country in Europe.
I reckon your family suffered in WWII and you have the US military or Russian military (I'm guessing the latter since you have such a chip on your shoulder towards the US military) to thank to end the Nazi suffering - and they did it without the UN's blessing.
