Why should I even respond to your requests when your not going to read my posts or pay any attention to them?

But fine one example (of of countless others, this is just one of the longer ones) was Rome. Another one would be China. Rome (depending on how your defining it) lasted from almost 1000 to over 2000 years. China (depending on whether your counting the whole history of its civilization, or the longest of its Han controlled dynasties, and when you consider its beginning) lasted from as little as several centuries to as much as over 4000 years. Neither was a democracy, but both staid together for a long time. They didn't need democracy to keep society together.

You'll probably do something silly like accuse me of attacking or hating democracy for that last statement. As pointing out that anything semi-decent or better thing happening under any circumstances without democracy meant that I'm against democracy.

If you don't directly make such an attack, you'll probably make a similarly irrelevant (but at least more correct) statement about how democracy is good, as if it was actually under attack. Sometimes I think I could post a chocolate chip cookies recipe, and you would reply "are you kidding democracy is wonderful".
