i cant resist these i guess. acctually america is a republic not a democracy. The whole problem i see with war is it doesnt solve anything but we have to defend ourselves. So i say slaughter evil fast and ruthlessly its the only way. maybe if we kill them all fast we can have peace someday? maybe?

So you are telling me that even though strict abortion laws, the type where rape and incest are considered, cause protest and in majority of states don't even come close to passing, this country would pass a law allowing it to happen? The likely scenario would be passing harsher sentences for violent crimes and executing offenders instead of letting them rot in prison. That is population control, these people had their chance, not a newborn/unborn baby. As far as your lecture goes, I'm waiting, so far you have failed to school me.

Democracy as defined by dictionary.com

1. government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
2. a state having such a form of government: The United States and Canada are democracies.

okay ill say it again the united states of america is not a democracy! Common misconception! we are a republic!

yes like comunist and socialist there are similarites. but you cant vote to make abortion illegal in this country cause we are a repubplic and the supreme court decided that abortion is legal see the difference? we have three branches of government its not majority rules like in a democracy.

A republic makes my case even stronger, but you're right this isn't a democracy. However, we were talking about a hypothetical vote by the people to enact a policy against one of the most heated, unanswerable debates about abortion.

Republic as defined by dictionary.com

a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and --is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them--.

Touché sir. I concede, to an extent. The US has a mutt government. We use points from both systems. Taking mostly from the republic side.

F war
all you do is kill and try not to be kiled and loose friends it SUCKS

yeah this is where state law comes in and if more politicians would respect the fact we are a republic we'd have a lot less of these type problems. for example if in california gay marriage was legal leave it alone cause at least people that beleive that have an area of the country to go where they have a shared beleif, but no the idiots press and press and we end up with all these feds pressing the issue. they ammended californias constitution to say that gays cant marry. Can u believe that? people get caught up in the issue and miss the point. we are losing our rights! they can now monitor your phone calls without a warrant, its getting bad man! fight the power! power to the republic......lol!

yeah im just ranting ... lol

A large problem that we face in this country is the non-separation of church and state. "Gay marriage is bad because it says so in the bible"! They are forgetting the fact this country was founded with the idea of freedom of religion, which is also freedom from religion. Let us vote and carry out what we say, whether or not the bible "allows" it or not.

i give up its too much to write besides its off topic. but i will just say one more time we are a republic not a democracy. majority does not rule! even if 90% of the country voted for/against gay marriage it does not mean it will or should stand. The law must pass the scrutiny of all branches of government. those being legislative, judicial, and executive.

people are needy = war

Even if those needy people decided to not fight for what they need, that could be considered suicide which is war on the self.

Even if we had the ability to utilize the entire galaxy with seemingly infinite life prospects, there would still be war.

war,soldiers,presidents,any thing else to do with any of that,I have no respect for.
