Your post makes no real sense, and I don't see the problem because your post is hard to read. I thought Communism was a political philosophy that only worked under a dictatorship... lolno So how exactly did Athens work out to be a real democracy? I dunno.

Nowadays, no country has a small enough population to for Democracy to be as effective as it was in Athens, now do you see the problem? That's what I thought you mean't. I was thrown off by the incorrect assumtions. Attica, the place where ancient Athens was located, was populated by about 250,000 Free men, women and children, all of them claiming to be athenian. (You could probably double that if you count slaves, but I wouldn't) So if 2000 is to big to have a working democracy, 250,000 would be much too big, wouldn't it?

Therefore it's substantially less than that number would suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why won't you let a trap disguised as a gift into your house? Because you know the story of the Trojan Horse. And it is very applicable. You use that knowledge every time you don't open a virus laden email. Those viruses are called Trojans for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I actually like a breed of a democracy and a dictatorship' date=' if that makes any sense at all.

Spirit of DMG Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Was it inhabited before then? maybe, I am ignorant and apathetic. but if not, then its a settlement. also, you do know how to use that button saying "Quote+" right?wait, how would you know the email was virus laden again? and isn't that why you use a firewall: so it'll scan the emails for viruses? and how would knowing who greek history help me in my future?

It's easier to to copy and paste small segments of quotes when you want to direct your comment at a small portion of a large post. After that, the tags are easier to type than the [quote tag.

I'm sure you'll still manage to become a geek soldier >.>And I don't really care about your life plans.Do you plan on owning a home? Good thing the Greeks invented the most support beams.Wanna see a movie? The Greeks invented Cinima.Wanna keep posting in this thread? The Greeks invented Democracy, which is what this thread was for, not you trying to prove that your smart by bashing Greece. Yes, you are and you know it.
