In an ideal democracy.

I don't think an "ideal" democracy has representatives, but instead direct democracy.

Maikeru D. Shinigami · 10-17-2012, 05:05 PM

Oh yeah, I remember it now. Then they have the majority of points.

Perhaps, but a lot of people are too dumb to have their opinions counted.

Then what about states? A person winning twelve states can beat another with thirty-eight.

Or districts? Such as Washington D.C.

What the United States is, would be best described as a representative republic.

Noctis Arashi · 10-17-2012, 05:09 PM

Well, there are uninformed voters, but they still voted.

If dumb people vote for dumb things, let the dumb thing be popular.

And that's how naruto wins the HST chapter of the week. *nods*

Honestly, I find the Electoral College partially fair. It seems good to me that the larger states get more say so, but I also dislike that as a state you can either win, lose or draw.

Well, it'd depend on what your belief of an ideal democracy is in the first place.

But either way, all of us are winners. In the end, it's The Roman Republic who loses.

Eh... California having more of a say than over a third of all the states combined? A little unfair, if you ask me.

I'm with you on that one. That system just completely null voids the other side of the votes.

Which is how democracy is a flawed system.

At least Bleach never wins. If nothing else, we still have that shred of dignity, as little as it is.

Well, that is of lesser important. One day choosing the president really could make a difference.

Naruto and One Piece tied for first this week I think.

Wooster · 10-18-2012, 07:11 AM

Bleach was awful(even by it's standard) . Naruto slightly good, but One Piece was actually interesting. Easy choice

Kakashi Hatake_Yamato · 10-19-2012, 11:25 PM
