I'd rather talk about these philosophers:
Socratese? Well I suppose the use of the Socratic method would certainly raise the bar in most threads.
And it's a free forum, start a thread about any of those and delight at the philospam I'll inflict upon it.

So what you're implying is that Slovenian democracy has no corruption? I wouldn’t be that optimistic, but hey why should I spoil the positive publicity?Originally posted by VetLegion
Didn't I already explain that Slovenia isn't part of the West?
PS Concerning democracy, Plato may be saying that it seems to be a very shiny form of government. DanQ would approve... ok if that isn’t reason for revolution I don’t know what is.

Petrle had the support of the current coalition and I didn't like how they did things, so yes. But I would have preferred it if Gaspari had made it to the second round... You've probably noticed a slight leftist tendency in me by now...Originally posted by VetLegion
Did you vote for Tuerk?
BTW I have no clue why any of the other polytubbies should care? These things are best discussed through PM's...

The problem with dictatorships is inefficiency. However enlightened the dictator may be, he can't be everywhere at once, so in some places his dictations will be inappropriate for the local conditions.
That's where the "Governor Robots" come in, they analyze the prevailing local conditions and shuffle around the workforce as appropriate.Comment
