I think they may have been onto something.

Or is that racist of them? I always get confused about how that works. Only straight, white, Christian men are the target of discrimination these days, right?
Yes, that is what the Republican party and its various stooges would claim.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

I think they may have been onto something.
Plato was the kind of political thinker that thought that banning musical instruments would effectively suppress emotions in humans. Or that small/weak children shouldn't be fed. Or that strong children should go to war along their parents. Or that democracy was a bad thing.
Aristotle was a much better political theorist, and advocated a political organisation that included elements of all three general systems, kingship, aristocraty and democracy, as to get the best of all systems.

It seems to work fairly well considering the living conditions of people under non-democratic nations is usually worse of than the democratic ones.

Okay, Chuck Norris' argument seems like blind patriotism to me. He did not explain why the low priority Obama placed on personal freedom was bad, and didn't acknowledge the many possible benefits of a more Socialist system. As a Socialist myself, it really gets on my nerves when people do that.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Norris has taken too many blows to the head and thinks real life is actually one of his crappy action movies...
Ah, Fox News, delivering quality rubbish as always.
Haha that 'zizzer' guy was entertaining, a lone (probably trolling) person fighting against the wave of intelligent life which was posting those comments.
And in relation to Chuck Norris...whose seen Expendables 2? I mean, come on, he was funny in that...although I was laughing all movie, he was exceptional. How many takes for the Chuck Norris joke to be told straight faced do you think?
I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...

Definitely one of the funnier things I've read on Dakka. Here, good sir, have an exalt. You've earned it.
