    LoteTree you are an excellent example of stupidity and a complete idiot. Yes it is better not to talk to people like you in future who do not have intelligence to understand a single word of all my previous posts.

      Hello Noah,

      Lote tree, is there a reason that youre not answering my question?

      Lote tree, if you dont want to speak to me i fully understand so, that would be my own fault. Just let me know so, Jazak Allah khein.

      If thats not the problem. then please answer my question.

      Gosh! I am in such demand! -)

      the question for lote tree is Lote tree...why are there only 2 options in your worldview?

      2 options in my world view? Really?
      I am a poet chap I am used to exploring all views.
      That is what all poets do. It is in their nature to look at all views.

      But I asked you before - what you have in the place of democracy?
      and you said without hesitation THEOCRACY!
      Ayman and myself have shown you the absurdity of THEOCRACY and I have shown you the vileness of DICTATORSHIPS. So I have explored other world views!

      DEMOCRACY is government by the People for the People. And it is such a Noble Idea. DICTATORSHIPS FORCES us into becoming unwilling SUBJECTS, SERVANTS and SLAVES. DICTATORSHIPS undermines our very human dignity!

      But democracy is not perfect and is indeed flawed but we can work to make it better...

      You are young Noah, you are learning. Perhaps one day you will realise how important it is to live with dignity and not be forced to bow down to a DICTATOR and be forced to massage his EGO, only because he wants you to.

      Lote tree cannot think outside the box.

      I could say Noah you cannot think outside of the Scripture.

      That is why the question pose such a threat to him.

      Your question is no threat. I thought I answered your questions in the "ABSURDITY OF THEOCRACY?" thread. And Also I did not want to upset you again. You have been ill and all that. I don't want to go into a heated debate with you again.

      Thanks.

      Regards,

        I have read your nonesensical posts! They boil down to this Democracy is bad, democracy sucks! This is not an argument! But rant of the unintelligent. And then you say this

        All the Saddam allegations which are more lies than truth you keep repeating them.

        Are you serious!!!??? He gassed the people of falubja!!! Only persons of utter stupidity will say the words you have written above.

        I am sick and tired of people like you who support VILE DICTATORS around the world, who rather lick the boots of Tyrants than stand up for themselves and reclaim their human dignity!

          Salaam Lote-Tree,

          You saidI am sick and tired of people like you who support VILE DICTATORS around the world, who rather lick the boots of Tyrants than stand up for themselves and reclaim their human dignity!

          YES me too, I can't believe people who bow down for dictators.

          We must work for freedom of speech so people dare to say something instead of being kneedogs to dictators like Saddam, Bush,Blair,Sharon etc.

          When are people going to fear God more than they fear eachother!?

          Peace
          Sis Majidah

            Only lote tree. you never asked me for my view on a theorcracy. The kind im talking about, had you bothered to ask before you went out on a tangent about dicators, is a lot closer to anarchism than dictatorship.

            I know about dignity Lote tree, and im not prepared to crawl on my knees for any judge or legal referee put in charge of the court (a place you play tennis and basketball), using laws on me mostly payed for by special interrest groups. Im not bad off in life. far from it Lote Tree. In fact, i should be praising democracy, singing its hymn like you do. Only...i saw it from the top, and i want NO part of it what so ever.

            Still, your views are your views, but even though you are my older brother, you have a sad tendency to force things down peoples throats that they dont mean at all. It pisses people off, and im starting to think that you love to do so. Its rude.

            So, my older brother...grow up

              If you think that is the case then in a DEMOCRACY you can work to change it. In a DICTATORSHIP you can't - can you not see this Noah?
              Is this so hard to grasp?

              Don't be naieve Noah. Power at the hands of a single person in a DICTATORSHIP is a dangerous thing. Power is easily abused because Power is very corrupting. Power therefore needs to be moderated and kept in check. Power needs to be controlled. Democracy allows you to control this Power and moderate its use more effectively. But this moderation and control is not perfect and never can be perfect. We had 18 years of Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher to realise that! And Democracy itself can be perveted into a DICTATORSHIP! but for all its faults, democracy is the best of the worst types of government that serves humanity best when the Power is properly regulated and controlled.

              Im not bad off in life. far from it Lote Tree. In fact, i should be praising democracy, singing its hymn like you do. Only...i saw it from the top, and i want NO part of it what so ever.

              Not taking part is an adolesencet abdication of responsibility. As adolescent we want the world the way we want it to be. That is why we have this urge for someone to take charge of this world and set it to rights. That is why as adolescent we desire dictatorship. But in reality World is more complex than we can possibly conceive at the kinder garden. Sooner or later you have to wake up to this complexity....

              Still, your views are your views, but even though you are my older brother, you have a sad tendency to force things down peoples throats that they dont mean at all. It pisses people off, and im starting to think that you love to do so. Its rude.

              No, Noah, it pisses people off because they feel that their world view is challenged. Just like you can easily piss off a sunni muslim by showing how utter fraud are their books of hadiths.

              So, my older brother...grow up )

              I grew up long time ago Noah. At the age of 6, you were probably playing marbles in your Dad's back yard. At the age of six I was grappling with concept of "God"

                No. you put words in people mouths and that pisses them off.

                look here

                Don't be naieve Noah. Power at the hands of a single person in a DICTATORSHIP is a dangerous thing......

                where am i talking about dictators? i will tell you. i aint!

                Your view on theocracy is heavily lacking neuances. thus

                At the age of six I was grappling with concept of "God" ..

                you shouldnt have stopped back then.

                If you think that is the case then in a DEMOCRACY you can work to change it. In a DICTATORSHIP you can't - can you not see this Noah?
                Is this so hard to grasp?

                you know what, on paper Communism look real good too. In theory Communism have many merits. Its just...it didnt work, because like democracy it is not made by the people, thats just what were told. I cannot force you to see things for what they, thats your own problem )

                    You never got around on telling me how a leader will be chosen. Looollll From your post, you said that a Messenger / leader will have to have certain skills before you beleive that he/she can be a messenger/leader. So if a person came to you demonstrating all those skills, will you take him / her to be your leader/ messenger of God?

                      Noah

                      Communism failed because the one party rule become corrupted as the sytem did not put strong enough check and controls on their leadership. Communism if implemented with honesty is better system than Capitalism which called "Democracy" in USA.

                        Democracy in USA is a joke. Thats not democracy. True democracy does not exist in any country. Its a sad fact.

                          Peace. no its not. its equally rotten and flawed to begin with. They are not opposites, they are opposames. Its "elite" rule. Power, true influence and access to the lions part of the resources for a very few. I am aware that the writ that Marx copyed and put his name on (or was paid for, i dont know) contains many nice thoughts. but thats how these false ideologies are sold on to us. Both are 99% sweet cookie and 1% arsenik. Problem is that 1% arsenik is enough to kill all.

                          This is not "gospel truth" but take a look. http//reactor-core.org/none-dare.html

                          The only type of government i have seen that wasnt rotten to the core was actually the republic of Americas before it became the Brittish owned coorporation called (in capital letters) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A branch division of UNITED STATES COMPANY ANNO 1862.
                          But even with a good foundation look what happened.

                            No. you put words in people mouths and that pisses them off.

                            look here

                            Don't be naieve Noah. Power at the hands of a single person in a DICTATORSHIP is a dangerous thing......

                            where am i talking about dictators? i will tell you. i aint!

                            Really Noah? This whole thread has been about democracy and autocratic rule!

                            Having failed with your argument with THEOCRACY which is also DICTATORSHIP, you now throw in ANARCHISM!

                            So my words "Power at the hands of a single person is a dangerous thing..." is about AUTOCRATIC RULE and DEMOCRACY. This keeping in line with discussion of the thread.

                            Your view on theocracy is heavily lacking neuances. thus

                            Hey Ayman demolished your arguments on THEOCRACY. You didn't need my views at all!

                            At the age of six I was grappling with concept of "God" ..

                            you shouldnt have stopped back then.

                            I haven't that is why I can easily challenge your world view.

                            If you think that is the case then in a DEMOCRACY you can work to change it. In a DICTATORSHIP you can't - can you not see this Noah?
                            Is this so hard to grasp?

                            you know what, on paper Communism look real good too. In theory Communism have many merits. Its just...it didnt work, because like democracy it is not made by the people, thats just what were told.

                            No communism even on paper appealed to Idealist. But they could not see that Cummunism was dictatorship.

                            I cannot force you to see things for what they, thats your own problem

                            That is what is DEMOCRACY is about.
                            (And I have no problem at all. I think you do -)
                            But I will let you solve your problem since I am not here to solve your problem but rather challenge your world view so that you can say something brilliant that will get everyone thinking again...but so far you have not said anything exciting! (yet)

                              Really Noah? This whole thread has been about democracy and autocratic rule!

                              and this apply to me how?

                              Having failed with your argument with THEOCRACY which is also DICTATORSHIP, you now throw in ANARCHISM!

                              No you never bothered to ask before you went out on a key about dicators. youre theone linking it together like that, not me. Dont put words in my mouth.

                              So my words "Power at the hands of a single person is a dangerous thing..." is about AUTOCRATIC RULE and DEMOCRACY. This keeping in line with discussion of the thread.

                              Power in hands of a single man or a single group of men are equally dangerous. They are two distinct beasts, so the danger of them differs.

                              Hey Ayman demolished your arguments on THEOCRACY. You didn't need my views at all!

                              Wjere did ayman do so did you think? All i saw was Ayman giving his PERSONAL oppinion, and me mine. So you like his better? thats ok )

                              I haven't that is why I can easily challenge your world view.

                              Yo havnt heard my worldview lote tree. you have forced one down my throat several times, in all debates i have had with you. PLease do tell me. what IS my world view that you so easily challenge.

                              No communism even on paper appealed to Idealist. But they could not see that Cummunism was dictatorship.

                              That is simply not true. Do your homework lote tree. it turned into a dictatorship, and i will argue it was always the idea of it, but not on paper.. Much like elite rule are now the democractic version of same. Atleast a dictator is in your face with his power. you know your enemy in a dictatorship. rather than in a democracy where the dictators are shady, hidden businness CEO's and special interrest groups, making deals that affect everybody OUTSIDE the democracy. You are intelligent, im sure this concept is not too hard to grasp.

                              I cannot force you to see things for what they, thats your own problem )

                              That is what is DEMOCRACY is about.
                              (And I have no problem at all. I think you do -)
                              But I will let you solve your problem since I am not here to solve your problem but rather challenge your world view so that you can say something brilliant that will get everyone thinking again...but so far you have not said anything exciting! (yet)

                              What is it about? the removal of resources from the many into the hands of the few, badly dressed up as mob rule. And please enlighten me, what world view is it that you belive to have challenged? If you are so sure of what my world view is Lote tree, put weight behind it for once, and tell me what my world view is!

                              Its not like you excactly are shining in this debat. Putting words into peoples mouth impress noone.

                              Regards

                                Yo havnt heard my worldview lote tree.

                                I have its THEOCRACY. You said it yourself and Ayman and I have showed you the absurdity of THEOCRACY.

                                you have forced one down my throat several times, in all debates i have had with you.

                                I have done no such thing! I spoke strongly about DEMOCRACY and how it serves humanity best.

                                No communism even on paper appealed to Idealist. But they could not see that Cummunism was dictatorship.

                                That is simply not true. Do your homework lote tree. it turned into a dictatorship, and i will argue it was always the idea of it, but not on paper.

                                Communism is an Idealist dictatorship but they can't see it because of their idealism. That is why communism failed.

                                Much like elite rule are now the democractic version of same.

                                Elite? That is nonsense Noah! Mr. Shahid Malik a Bengali from Bangladesh has risen to hights of power in the Government of UK. He came from very humble beginings and now has become a an eloquent voice for the Asian Minorities in the British Political system. And there are many examples like him. In a dictatorship people like him will have no chance to put their talent into good use.

                                Atleast a dictator is in your face with his power.

                                I don't want a dictator in my face with his POWER! And any sane, intelligent person with an ounce of self-dignity will find this very demeaning!

                                you know your enemy in a dictatorship.

                                And the DICTATOR knows you are HIS enemy. He will kill you to maintain his POWER without batting an eye-lid. And he will continue go on killing people to maintian his grip on POWER. In a DEMOCRACY electorate is NOT the enemy nor is the Electorial Candidates the Enemy.

                                rather than in a democracy where the dictators are shady, hidden businness CEO's and special interrest groups, making deals that affect everybody OUTSIDE the democracy.

                                As I said before if you think that is the case then in a DEMOCRACY you can work to change that. If you think special interest groups undermining democracy then work to change that! So Noah, work hard to change it!

                                What is it about? the removal of resources from the many into the hands of the few, badly dressed up as mob rule.

                                If you think that is the case then in a DEMOCRACY you can work to change it. That is why it is called GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE.

                                And please enlighten me, what world view is it that you belive to have challenged? If you are so sure of what my world view is Lote tree, put weight behind it for once, and tell me what my world view is!

                                I challenged your world view of THEOCRACY and have shown you how absurd it is.

                                Its not like you excactly are shining in this debat. Putting words into peoples mouth impress noone.

                                It is good to have critics.
                                It means that what you are saying has some weight!

                                Regards,

                                  Ayman and i both agreed to what a theocracy is. I dont know what youre talking about. Its the book s unchangeable guidelines, i have never claimed anything but that. You just talk so much you didnt realise it.

                                  Are there any universel definition of theocracy that i am unaware of, or am i allowed to have my own interpretation of it?

                                  I have done no such thing! I spoke strongly about DEMOCRACY and how it serves humanity best.

                                  where is the evidence?

                                  Communism is an Idealist dictatorship but they can't see it because of their idealism. That is why communism failed.

                                  It failed because it was meant to. All part of "the game of the ages". It has nothing to do with ideology, as it didnt when it started up. thats just what people was told.

                                  Elite? That is nonsense Noah! Mr. Shahid Malik a Bengali from Bangladesh has risen to hights of power in the Government of UK. He came from very humble beginings and now has become a an eloquent voice for the Asian Minorities in the British Political system. And there are many examples like him. In a dictatorship people like him will have no chance to put their talent into good use.

                                  HAHAHAHAHAHA and you belive he has any power? OMG Lote Tree you seriously need to wake up. All he is, is a minority puppet that makes democracy "look good". He can change a little here and there. But the fact about democracy is that it is a train ran amok, where we dont know the real driver, and we are debating about the color of the doorknobs on the toilet door. If you think thats power. thats fine. I think it ridiculous.

                                  Blair is not elite. Bush is the from the lower echelon of the elite. The elite is people who have REAL money. Not that paper, and credit stuff where told to take for face value, and they have more than you can imagine. In numbers it is like this. 5% of the worlds population control 95% of the worlds resources. Of those 5 %, LESS than 1% are true elite. This amounts to ca. 8000 individuals worldwide, who are the de facto power in the world today. They give you democracy, facism, communism, whatever help their agenda of want more.

                                  Or as Rotshild, a lower echelon elite said it ; "Give me the control of a nations money, and i care not who makes the laws"

                                  I will give you a tip. Rotschild+bank of england. Politics control NOTHING. money control ALL!

                                  In a democracy it is the golden rule. He who has the goild makes the rule. And if your comfortable with that. fine. Im not!

                                  I don't want a dictator in my face with his POWER! And any sane, intelligent person with an ounce of self-dignity will find this very demeaning!

                                  Ohh lets twist again. like we did...No seriously lote tree, the example was not me prasing a dictator, but the fact that overt control are more honest than covert control. And you know it was, now behave.

                                  And the DICTATOR knows you are HIS enemy. He will kill you to maintain his POWER without batting an eye-lid. And he will continue go on killing people to maintian his grip on POWER. In a DEMOCRACY electorate is NOT the enemy nor is the Electorial Candidates the Enemy.

                                  Tell that to the people at WACO, The montana freemen, tell that to all the people put in jail for crimes such as smoking a joint, so a PRIVATE jail institution can make more money. Im telling you, just because you dont see it, does not mean its not there )

                                  As I said before if you think that is the case then in a DEMOCRACY you can work to change that. If you think special interest groups undermining democracy then work to change that! So Noah, work hard to change it!

                                  It has been like that since day one. We have had ours for 200 years, and people. THOUSANDs of people have worked incredibly hard, so ahrd some of them died. Yet...its still the same`?! I wonder why that be? A few minor adjustments here and there. And a special interrest group are often not someone who go out in public and say. "Look mates, we want to manipulate your thinking by showing you slated and biased "news", so we can get away with pretty much anything, like going to war on no basis etc. " Then we would like to manipulate you into accepting unfair taxation laws, that on the surface will be sold of as good, but in fact means that we get a hell of a lot richer, and you get to pay for it. thank you.

                                  Get real Lote Tree.

                                  If you think that is the case then in a DEMOCRACY you can work to change it. That is why it is called GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE.

                                  the record is broke cracle the record is broke cracle the record is borke* cracle*.

                                  Lote Tree, now im going to try it real simple... if framework skewed, and engine no work, no car drive, yes?

                                  I challenged your world view of THEOCRACY and have shown you how absurd it is.

                                  Oh,,i must have forgot, what was my view on theorcracy again? thats right, you dont know, because i didnt tell you. all you did was go out on a tangent of nonsense about the wonders of a system that is less bad than the one you came from, and dictators. So please tell me, what IS my view on theorcracy? Or could it be that you are judging my view on theorcracy by how YOU look at theorcracy? i think thats the one!

                                  It is good to have critics.
                                  It means that what you are saying has some weight!

                                  ofcourse it is. But only if they actually makes sense.

                                  Regards

                                    Noah that link is very boring did not read it completely. Maybe latter look at it.

                                    What you are saying I said the same things about democracy?

                                    The majority of so called democratic system is duped with 24/7 network propaganda and they really don't have the wisdom and intelligence to elect for once a honest politician. The majority will keep voting for the biggest liar corrupt politcian and the people like me will always be on the losing side.

                                      Information about the powerstructures ARE boring. what did you expect, a comic book? But if you belive that socialism and/or communism have any real merrits, you must read it.

                                      What you are saying I said the same things about democracy?

                                      yeah ofcourse, because it is so blatantly obvious to anyone, who is not easily duped by shiny things.

                                      The majority of so called democratic system is duped with 24/7 network propaganda and they really don't have the wisdom and intelligence to elect for once a honest politician.

                                      agreed. But not only that...both partys play the same side, they have the same paymasters. Why is it, that when one party enters, it makes a few adjustments and then continue the same politics the last pack of idiots did? and before them the same etc etc etc...because politicians are not the ones deciding on the agenda, they are merely mouthpieces, and most without their knowledge or concent. And the few good men and woman who stand up and try to expose reality as it is, have very short careers. And in the us, they have a tendency to become depressed all of a sudden and hang themself or shoot themself 2 times in the back of the head, and then drag themself out in the trunk of their car, close it at throw a match in the fuel hole ??! Or they disappear and their body turn up in places like 911 tho they had no connection to the place. I mean people must be absolutely braindead if they buy the official "suicide" story on something like that.

                                      what Lote Tree and many others fail to understand is that it is not systems that are the problem. People are. especially extremely rich people, who have been so for ....lets say....EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS!!!

                                        Noah

                                        The two party system itself is dictatorship. Republicans and Democrats have the same agendas to protect the Corporation and Elites. This simply means protection of capitalism which will benefit only the very rich. These two parties block any other political voice which is different from their vision e.g. Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader may not be able to change the system but there is nothing wrong giving him or someone like him a chance and lets see what can they do for the common poor people but the politicians like Ralph Nader will never get elected because majority of the voters are idiots. This majority will always vote for the biggest liars and most corrupt politicians because of the false image created by media.

                                          Ayman and i both agreed to what a theocracy is. I dont know what youre talking about. Its the book s unchangeable guidelines, i have never claimed anything but that. You just talk so much you didnt realise it.

                                          Are there any universel definition of theocracy that i am unaware of, or am i allowed to have my own interpretation of it?

                                          Here is the definition

                                          In the strictest sense of the word, theocracy consists of two distinct terms "theo" which means "God" and "cracy" which means "form of government". Hence a true theocracy would be "Rule by God".

                                          And now you want to offer your own interpretation of the above definition? OK then what is it?

                                          I have done no such thing! I spoke strongly about DEMOCRACY and how it serves humanity best.

                                          where is the evidence?

                                          Evidence of what? How democracy serves humanity best? Is that not self-evident in Europe compared to middle east or pakistan or Iran or North Korea?

                                          Communism is an Idealist dictatorship but they can't see it because of their idealism. That is why communism failed.

                                          It failed because it was meant to. All part of "the game of the ages". It has nothing to do with ideology, as it didnt when it started up. thats just what people was told.

                                          Is that best you can come up with. It failed because it was meant to?

                                          It failed because it was DICTATORSHIP.

                                          Elite? That is nonsense Noah! Mr. Shahid Malik a Bengali from Bangladesh has risen to hights of power in the Government of UK. He came from very humble beginings and now has become a an eloquent voice for the Asian Minorities in the British Political system. And there are many examples like him. In a dictatorship people like him will have no chance to put their talent into good use.

                                          HAHAHAHAHAHA and you belive he has any power?

                                          You say only Elite govern. And now that I have shown you how a humble individual from humble beginings, from a Bengali minority, can rise to position of power in a democracy, you now say HE HAS NO POWER?
                                          So what is it Noah? Do elites only govern or humble individuals from humble background can participate in the political process in the Houses of Parliament or the House of Lords- Like Mr. Shahid Malik or Lord Chouwdury or Lord Desai? There are many more people like Shahid Malik who did not sit on their backsides and complained but worked hard to get where they are now. And they are making their voices heard.

                                          All he is, is a minority puppet that makes democracy "look good". He can change a little here and there.

                                          Yes, you can say that because you have no idea of working hard to making your voice heard. You just sit on your backside and complain. This is typical adolescent behaivour! Growing up will help Noah.

                                          But the fact about democracy is that it is a train ran amok, where we dont know the real driver...

                                          The real driver is the people but you can't see because you can't connect with people. You rather connect with a book instead.

                                          If you think thats power. thats fine. I think it ridiculous.

                                          No the Ridicolous thing is sitting on your backside and doing nothing. Mr. Shahid Malik, Lord Choudhury and Lord Desai and many others did not sit on the backsides but they did something about it. They worked hard to make their voices heard in the high places of government.

                                          In a democracy it is the golden rule. He who has the goild makes the rule. And if your comfortable with that. fine. Im not!

                                          Mr. Shahid Malik certainly had no Gold and yet he was able to participate in the political process in the Government of UK!

                                          I don't want a dictator in my face with his POWER! And any sane, intelligent person with an ounce of self-dignity will find this very demeaning!

                                          Ohh lets twist again. like we did...No seriously lote tree, the example was not me prasing a dictator, but the fact that overt control are more honest than covert control. And you know it was, now behave.

                                          No seriously! No twisting done! It is you who don't understand the implications of what you say!

                                          Lote Tree, now im going to try it real simple... if framework skewed, and engine no work, no car drive, yes?

                                          Because you can't get off your lazy backside and work to change things then you might as well just moan and complain and let the people that have some determination, courage and imagination like Mr. Shahid Malik and others to take up the challenge and have their voices heard...

                                          Oh,,i must have forgot, what was my view on theorcracy again? thats right, you dont know, because i didnt tell you.

                                          I said what you replace DEMOCRACY with? and you said THEOCRACY.
                                          And I know what theocracy means. Now you offer your interpretation of the definition of theocracy!

                                          Regards,
