If user fees go into effect I'm done
"Wolfgang Schwanke" wrote in message ... Mxsmanic wrote in : Wolfgang Schwanke writes: The US is a direct democracy? The US government cannot ignore what the people want? The U.S. is an _effective_ democracy. The people have a strong influence on how the government is run, in part because the people running the government are largely the same as the people being governed. I didn't know the United States had 300 million ministers. Statutory class distinctions are nonexistent in the U.S. for the most part, and de facto distinctions are rare compared to the European norm. Shut up . Oh really this is silly, you are using a very creative mix of constantly shifting standards and equivocations to defend your nationalist prejudices, without ever substantiating any of them. I suggest you give up, it doesn't work. No he isn't. He won this debate. You should probably stop before he embarrass you even more. That makes them a class by definition. No, it makes them a profession. A class means: A set of people who have a different perspective and different interests than others sets of people. That makes them socially different: a class. You are using a different definition of the word "class" (or you shift it according to the prejudice you wish to defend). I think it helps if your name is Kennedy, Clinton or Bush, but that was not what I was talking about anyway. None of these familes inherited their prominence. There are no royals in the United States, and no nobles. That's the way the country's founders wanted it, and that's one of the things that sharply distinguishes the U.S. from Europe. No it doesn't. There are few countries in Europe who have nobles or royals at all; someone who claims to know so much about the continent ought to know such an important fact. And the few countries who do have them do so mostly for fun, not for political functions. -- Da wo alle dasselbe denken, wird nicht viel gedacht. http://www.wschwanke.de/ usenet_20031215 (AT) wschwanke (DOT) de |
