Women's Suffrage

Sounds like a dictatorship.

 

But one person is above the law in dictatorship, no?

 

Yes one person is, but then who would create the laws? Sythe?

 

Actually, if you really know what democracy is, you would know that a real democracy is run by people and not a government. But there is no such thing as a real democracy.
Democracy is derived from the Greek words Demos and Kratos, which mean "the people rule".

Actually, if 51% voted that they want to invade a country, they have to do it, or else it's against democracy.

 

Actually you are wrong. Run by the people is not entirely true. Please do your research before you respond, as a democracy is "For the people, by the people". The people do have power, but only to elect or remove their government. Which, in essence, is running the country.

And no again you are wrong. Who would start the vote but the leader of the country? People cannot just begin votes to invade, it has to be approved by senate (or congress in the States) and approved by the leader. The people have power, but they cannot just go around voting for whatever they want. There are rules you know, depending on what type of democracy your country is.

 

Im for women-suffrage.

I think females should have the right for everything males have.

 

You're both wrong. There are different types of democracy. Direct democracy, representative democracy and so forth. Specify which form of democracy you are discussing and there will be no misunderstanding.

Women are human beings, rational creatures. Of course they deserve equal rights.

(Voted against suffrage by mistake.)

 

I laugh at how women wanted equal rights and then say no when they have to sign they can be drafted for war. This is hilarious. You have to take the whole package to be equal as males.

 

You idiot I said there was different types. So you were incorrect in posting that I was wrong, and he was just plain wrong.

 

They are human, they are entitled to the same rights as men.

 

Its my opinion that the one thing can't be counted upon is human accountability, therefore even by establishing in the begginning an unchangeable set of laws, we take an unkillable risk of screwing ourselves over. If much the same way that if we establish an infastructure for eavesdropping under a democracy today, and then find ourselves in a dictatorship tommorrow, rule of law simply hands the future tyrant a set of tools.

Therefore i believe the solution is to limit the boundaries of government from the outset and prevent a cycle of increased government power. A federal government in control of our military, a state/provincial/county/local government in control of our police, and no one in control of anything else* would prevent the efficacy of tyranny... dictatorial OR democratic. In such a system, assuming the people are aware of the limits of their government (and if they don't consent, they are of course free to leave), they will never really need to change things. And if a dictator assumed power, he would be greeted by a populace largely unfamiliar and therefore hostile to having their freedom limited.


*And by this, I mean the rights currently disallowed to us, to marry whomever we want, to do unto our body as we please, to engage in whatever activity so long as in reasonable doubt no one else is harmed.

 

1st. They fight for their rights.
2nd. They get their rights
3rd. They complain that chivalry is dead
4th. You can't have equal rights and chivalry from your men at the same time so shut the fuck up and get on your knees

 

The right to vote shouldn't be decided by age, sex, race, or anything else besides not being an ignorant ass. There should be a test that would make sure that you know why your voting for someone. You shouldn't be allowed to vote for someone unless you know where they stand and why you agree with them.

 

No. But there should be a required IQ test before you are allowed to vote.

 

Women should vote... Im against uneducated people that vote..
