Re: What is democracy?
I would say that. Lots of people were involved in conflicts, but they targeted their oppressors, not innocent civilians (I'm not talking about medieval and earlier times). Besides, a half of a century has passed - time to go home and enjoy all you've so bravely fought for.

Re: What is democracy?
Can we throw in Farage, Putin, AfD, Le Pen, Bannon, and a handful more? It's all pretty much the same thing...It appears to me, although I await full and proper research, that once one catches one of the Derangement Syndromes (Brexit, Trump, Boris, Climate Change) it weakens one’s resistance to the others.
Re: What is democracy?
I agree although AfD is really dangerous. Have you seen a series of my posts on AfD?

Black and white thinking. Whither grey?

Re: What is democracy?
There are various colours what does not mean black and white do not exists. AfD is dangerous just because ze Germans are dangerous. People don't change for such trivial reasons as loosing the war and time passing.
Donald Trump (whoever he would be) is not dangerous since he is controlled by the deep state. Everybody is.

You couldn't be more wrong, at least according to psychological and fMRI studies. The brain rewires in time - owing to new experience. E.g. the effects of years of "toxic" experience can be reverted by drugs or years of positive experience.

You believe in science i believe in eternal human experience. Science is a quite new invention. Wrong as all of them.

Re: What is democracy?
I don't believe in science either, I just refer to it for the sake of some Thomases. Science is a failed attempt of an idiot to understand what's beyond them by looking into their selves. I bond with the Great Beyond and let it flow through me! I don't need to understand - reading science has only led me astray 
(Which doesn't mean I don't enjoy solving some scientific puzzles from time to time!)

The war is in hearts, dude. You don't need armies to kill, a pillow will do.http://www.armedforces.co.uk/Europeandefence/edcountries/countrygermany.htmThere are various colours what does not mean black and white do not exists.

Nah, not dangerous. Wake me up when their army goes above 500,000.

Only on the outside, I suspect, and Mrs Wife knows there's a sweet caramel core inside.

Re: What is democracy?
You can easily tell whether someone is left or right wing. Look at their twitter posts. Do they mention Remembrance Sunday? It’s not 100% accurate, many Lefties are obliged to mention it, probably while holding their noses (e.g. politicians and the BBC). And it’s possible there are even a few decent Lefties.
Re: What is democracy?
I don’t tweet.
And I’ve been to one Remembrance Day event.
