When did democracy in its current (limited) form take hold in Britain?
I say limited because a powerful branch of their government is still composed of rich, congenital idiots who apparently inherit their positions; AND the monarchy can still influence issues indirectly...
What is the all around branch of the military? The Army?
If your talking about the DOD or Department of Defense? There is not a all around branch unless you are saying ground assault, air, and being out in the sea I would say the Marines or Navy...
Infamous PS3 download sound doesn't work?
For the Welcome Back deal for the PS3 Network I downloaded Infamous and the sound isn't working. I don't know how to fix it or if it can be fixed?
I need one more area in the Neon District!!!?
In inFAMOUS, I am trying to take over all of the area in the Neon. There is one spot right above where the goofy statue is and right below the drwbridge to get to the Historic District. My friend has the trophy for taking over all of it, and he just got in the Historic, and I am still in the Warren with the mission "Spy Drones" to do.
Could Democracy be considered the worse form of government?
Hm. I might favor some sort of Republic where voting was an acquired right, periodically earned by some sort of test that showed a person's mental capacity and social awareness. The problem is administering that test, and somehow making sure it stayed not only current, but also "fair." We've seen in the past what happens when only an "elite" is allowed to vote. My system would allow the "informed" and "responsible" to vote, but I have no idea how you'd actually go about instituting and enforcing such a dramatic change.
Did Max Schmeling help Jewish people during the infamous Nazi sweep in Germany?
Thumbs up to Jose! Yes. I have read the story in many different boxing books/magazines of Schmeling helping save the lives of two Jewish boys, hiding them in his house from the gestapo, an action which could have cost him his life had he been found out. He also refused to fire his Jewish manager, he was hyped up an an Aryn superman but really he abhorred the Nazi beliefs.
Cuts in federal spending and reduction in the number of federal employees were a result of the desire of ...?
In what decade? Since 9-11 the Department of Homeland Security has grown to an uber-secret agency with tens of thousands of employees that are all off-budget. So much for Conservatives' call for smaller government.
