Who can run for President is defined in the Constitution. Your constitution (Swiss? Swedish? Russian? ...same difference really) is the same as the American one, they're all pretty much the same right, so I assume all your Presidents/Prime Ministers are millionaires too correct?
I do not need to be rich to be selected as a PM. Our PM today is basically a welder.
All I need to do is Join a Party and by having worked hard and earned trust of my colleges of the party and the public at large so that I become an important name to be put on the ballot when the country goes voting.
Or I need to create a new party with those that think like me for a change, this would take some more effort and money until it would get a large amount of votes.
Or if large amount of people wright my name on the ballot, I can be chosen to represent the people.
That basically is it.
I dont need to be rich and do not need to be born in Sweden, only a citizen.
The sad part is you're so often moving them, you don't even realize it.
Here's a simple example: let's say I've never read anything about Swedish history. I then tell you what I believe to be an accurate re-telling of the country's history. When you attempt to correct the errors in my recounting, I tell you that these corrections are unimportant: I've got a general idea of the history of a few other countries, and all countries are pretty much the same anyway, so Sweden's history is really not any different from, say, Australia's.
Do you see the problem yet?
You are discussing something without knowledge of that thing. You repeatedly justify this with massive generalizations about large groups of people (the military, the entire earthly population), or with ridiculous statements you know are false (unless you'd like to point to a post in here that really has referred to the Constitution as either holy or magical).
Either you're doing this intentionally — so yeah, behaviour in-line with the sort that lives under bridges — or you don't actually realize how erroneous and incredibly ignorant this is. But it's getting increasingly harder to buy the latter.
no that is a far fetched example. All I really said was that a piece of paper will not save anyone's rights if no one is willing to fight for it. And then hell broke out. People started saying you dont know the constitution, something like that would never happened. Mmm right... What prisonermonkey said so brilliantly is what I have claimed/stuck to all the time:
In its current form, maybe. But it's a sweeping declaration that does stand up to scrutiny. Look at the conditions required for the scenario he floated to come about: the military has to fail completely. In order for that to happen, society would have to undergo radical upheavals. Who's to say that the Constitution would be able to support and protect the citizens in that case? Who's to say that it would even be relevant to them?
That is what I have been talking about all this time, but noooo, the answers I got in return seems to assert/allege that because every American knows the US Constitutions by heart this would never happen. And because I am no American and cant the Constitution I have not right to talk about The US Constitution because it is so holy and sacred. And when many here just ignore some of my questions and focus on stuff that does not even matter at all for my arguments sake ie twisting my words out of context just like when someone someone stated that I called all with mental issues criminals.. That is like so low...
Even the notion that what the constitution is saying/promising is not even what I am questioning about.
Just like prisonermonkeys post, bad stuff happens.. Who would dare to do anything about a crisis. I doubt even 33% in any modern country would stand up to some kind of oppression. Maybe USA is different, but the thing is citizens in USA have not had to overcome struggles like people in Europe during world war two or those that fought for getting free from communism or those counties that are fighting right now. How can any of you with certainly say that most Americans would act ie just do nothing in time of crisis.
Like I have said I have nothing against USA but I do like to criticise it for its flaws, would we talk about Sweden or Poland I would not hold back either. Freedom of speech is worth more than gold
The wrong was committed when his communications were penetrated and leaked to the press. I expect the crime will be investigated and the guilty person(s) exposed, charged and prosecuted.
