Interesting topic…

So…
,,,the political “religion” espoused by modern democrats is something we should “balance with long dead civilizations?
…the type of government that would paint citizens red if they did not participate in the process?

Not that it matters, only free adult male landowners enjoyed the rights of citizenship, and only if they were originally from Athens.
Citizens ship wasn’t for everyone - not women, not slaves (because slavery was ok in Athens), and certainly not immigrants.

The majority ruled – so a 51-49 ruling means turn in your guns, submit your pay to the government for redistribution, surrender your children to be taught according to the desires of the 51%...
…because it only takes 1% to redefine the word “equal.” Much like the clintons, obamas, pelosis, shumers, et al would have done in modern America if given the chance.

A legal system chosen by drawing straws however doesn’t seem like a bad idea – it would keep activist presidents from appointing activist judges. So, I have to give them props for drawing straws to pick judges.
Good job on that one Greek dudes !!! (yes – I meant dudes, because women didn’t count)

Even the hero of democracy, Pericles was quoted as saying that Athens democracy ‘respects not the interests of the minority, but the whole of the people.’
Sweet… so according to this Athenian democracy, fuck a bunch of minorities – if you aren’t part of the main stream, GOOOOOOOOOO fuck yourself.

Also interesting to note that Athenian democracy was the birthplace of the term “demagogue”
…a method still used by democrats today to help “balance” their positions by throwing out words like racist, misogynist, sexist, homophobe, greed, xenophobe, or bigot to stir up trouble when they have no real defense for their positions.

Sort of the same way that “democracy” was used to accuse, try, and sentence Socrates to death because he criticized the government.
Again… a pretty equal balance based on the way modern democrats work as well. It’s ok to criticize the state, as long as it isn’t the “democratic” state…
…just ask the clintons, obamas, pelosis, shumers, et al




We should be more like other countries… since they are all doing so well
