[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3957174, member: 63706"] My ignorance is why I ask questions. Is your inability to answer them a result of yours? I answered your challenge to name dictatorships that held elections. Since these mechanisms are what I've been talking about all along, and we're on page three of the conversation, and you've just now caught up, would you care to explain what these other mechanisms are, how they work, and how an average member can make use of them? That's a personal incredulity fallacy. Your inability to understand an argument, or the fact that you don't like it, does nothing to invalidate it. Who's aiming at those targets? Are you saying that people have to take on an unreasonable amount of risk to run for office? That sounds characteristic of a totalitarian system to me. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you're doing the best you can. And I would never accuse you of trying to be clever. Like people who claim they are insulted by being called silly, then turn around and call people ignorant and deluded? Yep, it takes all kinds. Hypocrites simply make the rest of us work harder at making the "world go round". [/QUOTE]
