Is the Internet the only place where there is Absolute Democracy?

Answer 1

I would say that it is the place with the most Democracy. In countries like China many news sites, political sites etc are blocked. Even on Yahoo a lot of my questions have been removed by yahoo because people have deemed them to be offensive

Answer 2

There is not absolute democracy via the Internet. The Internet is a privileged space you buy entry into. That access can be denied to you by your service provider or you own lack of resources.

This space is also subject to government regulation. As with television and radio this will likely mean that business will have a large say in how the Internet is shaped via rules. In other words commercial drivel will slowly begin to usurp worthwhile content.

The net neutrality bill is a perfect example of this. In essence the bill would have disallowed a scheme for business to buy priority on search engines - placing their sites higher on the list and thereby silencing your voice by burying you under endless hits for Viagra. Not very democratic.

Answer 3

No, it is not, since, it is under the purview of some one, who can shut it down whenever he wants!

But, the absolute democracy is practised in Hindu religion.

Surprised?

A human being can decide to have belief in the existence of God or turn an atheist.

In addition, those who believe in God, can give any shape to the god and name it and worship it with the way he likes and enjoys it.

In addition, people who do not believe in Hindu gods, but have faith in other religions and their gods are also respected and accepted.

There are criticisms among themselves, in addition to the criticisms from atheists, about the gods and manner of worship, but still, the culture continues to exist for centuries!

Hence, Hinduism follows absolute democracy and not the Internet!

Answer 4

Yes I am voting for Ron Paul & I also hope his son Rand Paul gets involved in government & public service in the future. Ron Paul will not get the nomination this time for obvious reasons. The boomers & seniors have the vote & simply do not know or understand him. They will be out of the picture in ten years & then young Americans can get rid of all the people in Washington that are laughing at them now. They will have to start at the local level, state level & then National level. Screw up the power that democrats & republicans have now. Three parties will get change as nothing will get passed if the third party refuses to go along. Ron Paul supporters will get the last laugh. Count on that. The younger generation is very educated & smart. Do not underestimate them. They know what they are doing. So does Ron Paul.

Answer 5

Not on THIS site... way too much censorship for there to be anything even approaching a free exchange of ideas. You're only allowed to participate on this site to the extent that you are politically correct and never say anything insensitive or insulting. Think of this site more as a 2nd grade classroom.

Answer 6

No it is not the only place .... It fully depends on how you use your real life ... If you use your life in an useful manner by obeying your heart than it is the real absolute democracy in your life ....
