The one you deleted was not about hate or stupidity.

It mentiond "lack of respect" and "despising"

Except that it was pretty clear who you were despising.

I think it's important that those who have a real stake in the outcome be involved in the process, not those whose profession is bound up with conflict.


But then EVERYBODY would HAVE to be involved, not just those who "have a stake at the outcome". And those who do have a stake, can always join now! This kind of system respects the individuals as opposed to a big machinery where individuals serve the purposes of the government.



So...you don't think the citizens have a real stake in the outcome? I think that is idea of Citizen Army.

Do you think he'd get the general idea? not very likely!

For example now with the war in Iraq - many Americans don't consider it to be "their stake", in fact, they are ashamed of it. If you want ALL citizens to agree with their government's actions, you'd have to brainwash them, like the Turkish do.

What do the Turkish do when they see a psycho on the street?

There are no pychos on Turkish Streets...We import them from the West, if we need any...

Very good point
It seems that the Turkish system didn't work for a couple of Turkish members here - much to AlphaF's dispair

I would be interested to hear about AlphaF's experiences of military service. Let me guess...officer? Some nice, minimal period of easy duties?

Did they risk sending someone of his background to rough it with the others?

Hahahah, yes - much like the Islamist leaders don't blow themselves up, they just preach to others what a bargain it is!

TO: ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS WEBSITE (openly personal)


I dont mind Admin or moderators erasing my public posts.

But I strongly object to irresponsible moderators, going thru other peoples private mails, unless a private message carries insults and invokes complaints from the receiver.

One of my private messages is also erased....now, I think this is really low and dishonest.
