All other democracies in the world use a parlimentarian form of government. The people elect Representatives and the representatives choose a leader from among the representatives. Would this be a better govenment for us? One advantage is shorter campain times. Less money spent campaining means less chance to corrupt those we elect.
A second advantage is only a majority goverment can rule. This means things get done. No bickering no inaction. If the government can't pass the bills it introduces it falls and one that can replaces it.
What do you think??

Ok, first realize this is a hypothetical question.
Lets say I scored really well on the DLAB, but could already speak Russian and took the DLPT in Russian and got the highest possible score... would the military still send me to Monterey to learn another language anyhow? What if I still wanted to go there to learn another language?? How would that all work?
thanks

I have watched and listened to the politicians from both sides of the aisle scrambling for power, making $millions in speeches for their "expertise" . I'm wondering how long it will take them to do away with the US Constitution, and literally control every aspect of our lives.Are you ready for it--or will you attempt to stop them? If so, how?
Are you ready for another American Revolution? Do you think that the government's push for gun control is to prevent an uprising?

I know the two forms of government are very similar, both are based on the idea that everyone does their part and gets an equal share of the pie. I know that both are about the government controlling everything. And I know that both don't work in practice because people are lazy and won't make an effort if they have no motivation to succeed, so what are the fundamental differences between the two?

I keep hearing that Bush should send his kids to Iraq. The millitary is 100% voluntary. His kids ambitions are there own. They can do whatever they want with there lives. They didn't make the decision for there father to run for President. They are there own people. I've heard one wants to teach in the inner-city, and another wants to do humanitarian work in a third world country. These are noble ambitions, and they aren't millitary related. So, for anyone who opposes the war, don't bring up Bush's kids in your argument. They are there own people, and they may not even be interested in politics. He can't force his kids to join the millitary just like you can't force your child to be a doctor or an engineer. To all you people that make that argument including MATT DAMON, listen to this blog. OK. MATT DAMON. You know what you said that one time. Would you force your kids to become actors because you are an actor.

The president, though, has backed away from his veto threat of the politically sensitive bill to fund veterans' programs. It exceeds Bush's request by $4 billion, or 7 percent, but the president acquiesced when GOP lawmakers made it clear that with troops overseas, they were not interested in squaring off with Democrats over spending for veterans.
So Bush was going to cut spending for veterans until the lap dog republicans intervened.
