Did I even mention the Opposition? I am asking you to go and ask the Govt to declare itself a dictatorship. Besides, from all the posts you have made, you totally whoring and licking the PAP's foot to the absolute point of sycophancy. It's only a natural thing that you actually ask the PAP to go declare itself the only party to do so since the PAP constructed the entire electoral system to keep itself in power regardless what the Opposition does.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:haha same old argument...when the Opposition cannot even persuade enough of their own members to stand for elections, blame it on the government. By your argument, if the Opposition parties cannot even field a single candidate, does that mean the elections will be invalid? No, it just shows how little support Opposition parties have.
There you go. "Democracy is overrated." Go ask the GOvt to declare itself a dictatorship.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:And what democracy is there in a military coup? Think Thailand, Myanmar and Pakistan![]()

It'd be less of a concern if that's what he genuinely thinks. It's quite another matter if that's the result of a machine churning out the fascist propaganda he has been inundated with...Originally posted by Fingolfin_Noldor:There you go.

And yet on the other hand, the European nations and the United States survive quite well enough with some degree of Chaos. YOu are just an ostrich with its head in the ground too frightened and too masochistic to think of the alternative because you are too STUPID to think about it and the only thing you possibly care about is your own POCKET and not the poor. The poor to you are better off DEAD since they deserve their FATE.
That's what they term as "airhead".Originally posted by walesa:It'd be less of a concern if that's what he genuinely thinks. It's quite another matter if that's the result of a machine churning out the fascist propaganda he has been inundated with...![]()
