Ghostagain: I'm not here to argue with you I just wanted you to correct yourself. Use the internet. (You made the claim, not me, I only disputed your claim that had no evidence attached) There are host of countries older than America when it comes to democracy. Greece Switzerland Iceland Finland San Marino Isle of Man Faro Island (you can prove me wrong by posting evidence of why America is the oldest and not any of the ones I listed above). Do not take my words for it, do your research as a "logical" student you claim to be. Note : When responding, remember the keywords you used "Oldest democracy in the world" 10 Likes 1 Share |

Russian polling district in southern Siberia has scrambled to recount votes after presidential candidate Nikolai Kharitonov received more votes than Vladimir Putin in the March 15 to 17 election, according to local media reports. Putin's such a snowflake he apparently can't stand to lose even a single random district in the middle of Siberia. |

Procashtips:Ancient Greece and current Greece are not the same entity. Also you don't seem to understand that we are talking about uninterrupted regimes. The USA democracy of today is the same government as that created roughly 200 years ago. Switzerland... No, check the dates. Finland ... Finland didn't even exist as a country until russian revolution saw it breakaway from Russia. Dude, you don't understand that for your claim, you have to provide evidence. I'm not in the business of providing evidence for your claims, I have my own claims to prove and many people have claims as well, should I just spend my lifetime proving people's claims or should everybody prove his own claim ? I thought you were smarter than this, but you are a product of your Nigerian environment. "San Marino Isle of Man Faro Island" I'm pretty sure these are new countries. 2 Likes |

@procashtips. When you make a claim, anybody is entitled to ask you for evidence, you are not entitled to ask people to prove your own claim for themselves, especially if you are in opposition with the other person. You are basically in a debate and asking your opponent to side with you in the debate. It is weird that you thought you had a point. 1 Like |

Ghostagain: Some of the countries I listed have more than a 1000 years of pure democracy. (Go and research them all) Assumption doesn't do it here You keep talking about the US without showing any prove. Do you know that women weren't voting in the US until 1920? Do you know that women of colour weren't voting until 1964? Did you know that until late 1960s, some states in the US still didn't allow women vote? Did you know that it took another 40 yrs for men of colour to be allowed to vote in some states in the US? Did you know that the US constitution on the so call democracy wasn't binding on all the states until the 60s+ and took years before all the states agreed to follow the constitution fully? The right to vote and be voted for as a bonfide citizen of a country is the most important virtue of democracy, the absence of that equals no democracy. I will end this here. Not interested in this debate because you're not showing attributes of a good sport. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/voting-rights-throughout-history/ https://www.history.com/news/what-is-the-worlds-oldest-democracy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_voting_rights_in_the_United_States. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Procashtips:To prove that American democracy is the oldest (without referring to official documents which say so), I would need to take every democracy on earth and compare their date of Inception to that of America. You could have simply asked me to provide evidence to my claim, in which case I would have looked for such evidence (mostly in the form of official documents which make that claim, because I'm not going to spend two weeks verifying every democracy on earth). Instead you claimed I were wrong. To prove that American democracy is not the oldest in the world, it suffices to just show one democracy which is older, and you failed to perform that simple task. I can be excused for believing that American democracy is the oldest if I were wrong, because it could be that my sources of information were wrong and doing the verification by myself is extremely time consuming, but you came here to say that America is not thr oldest democracy on earth, and you did so without a single older democracy to show. Also, look, I'm not a student, I write books which specialists and students read, you seem stuck in studenthood. |

Procashtips:This is what I don't particularly appreciate with you, you keep being vague. Why not specify which countries instead of saying "some of the countries" ? Once again you seem confused, I am not your student, you don't get to give me homework. If you have a claim, then kindly prove it yourself. I'm not going to waste my time proving or disproving your own claim. |

Procashtips:We don't evolve in the same intellectual environment. By the way Albert Einstein is not my model in science, I don't steal other people's work and get famous for that work, also I make less mistakes in my calculations than Albert Einstein did. And finally I'm a mathematician, he was a physicist. I love his human values though. |

[/colorHistorical photos of Chinese bunkers built when USSR threatened to nuke China. It was all started by a border clash, after which the USSR threatened to use nukes. China thought the USSR was initially bluffing not until USSR asked other communist states and the USA how China would react to a preemptive strike. Then China took them serious. 1 Like

You don't even know anything about US democracy or the history of the so called democracy in the US. Please, I thought you were smart and intelligent as you always claim on this thread.
