Yeah, critical thinking is close to extinction here And I think this problem has its roots from only having 2 candidates for last 2 elections. The politic is now about supporting the incumbent or not, kinda like the 2 party system farce Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that in the develop countries like yours but in the "third world" countries like mine........the politics is decisive in your life and can change everything, a little example: in 2005 the argentinian goverment blame to he "evil" meat farmers (Argentinian cowboys ) of the big price of meat, what the goverment did?, total prohibition of the exportation........and of course many of that ecnomy sector broke, can you imagine a similar situation in your country? and thats a little, very little example.....

Monzanator 3,593 Posted April 14, 2020 #5605 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Yeah, it's tough to compare economical powerhouse USA with most of the other countries in the world. Not to mention USA and its two party system is a joke but hailed as the best democracy in the world by those involved in it. Rich will never understand the poor.

hckošice 13,218 Posted April 19, 2020 #5607 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Slovakia will finally allow dual citizenship !!! We are full gaz in the coronavirus crisis, but do not forget that Slovakia has a completely new governement that started basically on the day 1 of the pandemic start in the country... yep nothing to envy.. but anyway, even despite the covid-19 obvious priority they have to work also on the other "normal" daily problems of the country and fulfillment of the elections campaign promises, today they are going to unveil their program. The prime minister already advises that it will also include, for example, a proposal that the Slovak Republic will allow Slovak citizens living long-term in the territory of another state to acquire the citizenship of that state without losing Slovak citizenship. That´s already a Huge step back to the normal thinking in normal countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will mainly help as I mentioned the Hungarian minority here, but also the czech minority...or viewing at sports for example Anastasiya Kuzmina now may be able to regain back her Russian citizenship, Rory Sabbatini his South-African one, wrestlers their previous russian etc... heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
