"Well tell me Mr. Science, exactly how big of a sample do we need to opine on the merits?"
Well, first we would start with the number of democracies that have the potential of lasting significantly longer than 200 years. In that group, there is exactly one, the Roman Republic, which lasted 500 years. Do you have any other examples? Single subject design can be useful for some studies, but not this one... |

" Go fuck yourself."

"As to the truth of the statement, the Roman Republic lasted 500 years, 2 1/2 times the "lifecycle."
Did I include the often add 200 years????????????????????? You are pulling a Douche A-hoy. The sentiment expressed in the quote have appeared in prominent speeches and expressed in some of tytlers work. Get passed the messenger and try to discuss the message. |

"TBR and Fun don't want to discuss the meat of it."
There is no meat. The sample size is too small to make a meaningful conclusion. If you knew anything about science, you would know that... |

""But I do know that unions rarely (if ever) back down. They dig in and don't budge. They take and take and take but never want to concede or give back."
And St. Ronnie and the Air Traffic Controllers saga comes to mind.... |

"Again, do you have sources that disprove the central idea of the quotes??????"
So you are basing your opinion of democracies on a cobbled together, misattributed quote? Like I said, a mile wide and and inch deep. As to the truth of the statement, the Roman Republic lasted 500 years, 2 1/2 times the "lifecycle." Other than that, there is not a whole lot of history, because the democratic form of government did not become widespread until the late 18th century. So we really haven't had enough time, for the most part, to test the 200 year question... |

"After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing"
TBR and Fun don't want to discuss the meat of it. |

"The quote itself seems to come from two different sources. "
Did I say differently???? The two quotes together are commonly know as 'The Life cycle of a Democracy'. I'm well aware of the history of both. I'm sure, just like Obama's BC, that somebody in 1951 made up the source. If you read what little exists today of his works, it's very plausible that the quote is his. Again, do you have sources that disprove the central idea of the quotes?????? |
