Have a read of this, Locke:

Fareed Zakaria, 'The Rise of Illiberal Democracy', Foreign Affairs, 1997.

It's all about "constitutional liberal" democracy versus "illiberal" democracy, I think you'll find it interesting.

To summarise it, Fareed Zakaria (a conservative) argues that now that the Cold War is over, democracy is spreading. To most Western nations, democracy means free, constitutional or liberal democracy; terms which are interchangeable. However, Zakaria argues that in most newly-democratised states, there is no freedom (in the sense that democracy is separate from liberalism).

Zakaria is concerned that democracy is only flourishing as a procedure, and the usually coincidental process of constitutional liberalism is not. In his words, “the battle is far from over.”

He comes down hard on democratic majoritarianism, and is a big fan of constitutions.

He says that the Western liberal democratic tradition rests on Greek and Roman traditions (which is inaccurate, but I'll let it slide).

Basically, I just read this article and wrote an essay on it, and I kept thinking of you during it. Yes, it is ammunition for you, but I have my own counter-arguments, and I just figured you'd enjoy it.

Out.

Actually I made a thread a while back that was over a lack of confrontation which was based around controversy. I was supprised to see some of the responces I did. It is good to see a new member with some balls.

Well you have me beat on age but I got you beat on the kid department haha. Got one that is 2.5 years old and the second is due in Decemeber. Then again theres not that much difference in our ages. Hell anything over 25 does the difference really matter?

So far I have been reading into a little bit of everything mainly trying to keep up with Obama health care, figured out women, and your Omega threads but I have browsed through most of the threads you have created; just bidding my time until I can actually post a decent post.

As for me, I am coming up on the 3 year marker later this month. Been with the wife for almost 5 though. I would have to say this is the longest lasting relationship I have ever been in haha. We are not planning anything special this year, mainly due to the fact she is pregnant again but next year we are going all out and for the 5th aniversary we are not sure yet haha.

I have been doing well, actually I have been lurking in most of your treads, as of late been way to busy to sit down and type out my normal gargan. I have seen your manly gamers group and have been meaning to join, just have to figure out which of the ones I am already apart of I want to drop before entering haha. I already have to many to keep track of.

I am glad to see there is another married man on the forum. There for a while I thought besides me and a few others there weren't going to be anymore haha.

Whats up boss? I don't think I have got to talk to you much so far so I was stoping in to say hello.

Hmm, that polar bear theory makes a lot of sense. It's so easy to lose track of Lost, because you can get caught on one mystery, while another is being created. Almost to annoy me haha.

Yup sounds like my nerdy self ahahah!!! It's not so bad now but once I get a PSP...uh oh!

I love Lost, but all my theories are wrong

It's impossible to theorise about it when everything just comes way out of left field. And there are so many things I don't understand, that it's hard to get on top. I would appreciate answers to at least a few of my questions before they gave me some more questions...

OK, so first thing's first. What the F*UCK is up with the polar bear? I don't think you've seen anymore episodes than I (though we get them very late; I think the new season will start in June for me).

Hey I know we disagree, but I never meant my 'anti-American' comments to be offensive, whether or not you saw them that way. But any fan of Lost is a friend of mine.

Better?

LOL Maybe...I'm not sure what I'm doing this weekend man...LOL

To tell you the truth I was curious about that for some time, personally I don't think it's anything serious but still you can get a warning. And also there is no need for double or in your case for triple post, if you need to add something you can always edit your old one.

No problem, just don't double post anymore. I suggest that you read the rules and if you have any questions fell free to ask.
