Topic: a slap on the faces of patriotic citizens - page 3. (Read 463 times)

I have seen a lot of this and this is more common to the younger generations that are like this. They're mocking their citizenships and just because they're able to move to another country and able to get a residency there, they're telling all shits of where the roots they've come from.

It's normal to criticize when you're seeing a lot of bad things going on. But it can't just turn into a better land on an instant, that's why I like those leaders that instead of taking time into making themselves good, they're showing what they're capable of and what they can do for their country.

I think it's understandable and they don't have to choice, they don't have a place to go and it's easy to tell that they just have to move from here and there but not everyone is capable of that.

Most of often say things we will not be able to tolerate, if you should be in a leadership position, can we accept such to be happening under our leadership, can we condole public criticism or we will be the one to make law against public hate speech and go against activism, democracy governance is not a military kind of rule the people have no choice than to comply with the directives from the central authorities, in democracy, everyone has the right to choose the leader they want, express their interest and show concern with the way they were being governed.

Are you talking about politicians who “serve” the country but are really corrupt? When you serve the country, you’re not serving the government but rather the people of your country. At least that’s how it should be. Remember that there are a lot of unfortunate countries out there who aren’t even meeting the basic needs of a lot of their citizens so if they say they regret being a citizen of that country then that makes sense. They might genuinely want better for themselves as well as for others. I see democracy as a privilege that we have to make use of when given. The government exists for the sole purpose of protecting and serving its citizens. If the appointed leaders aren’t fit for the job anymore then the citizens can and should criticize them.

Ironically, This reminds me some occasions I had the chance to talk to people from the United States, relatively young people who told me than their country is a mess and they do not like it.

There was one who literally told me that USA was as bad as Iran, or something like it, I manage her to retract that statement by offering my personal perspective but still thought USA was really bad.

It is interesting how people from countries which are assumed to be rich can badmouth their own motherland, while at the same time there are waves of people trying to move there both legally and illegally.

Democracy simply is NOT the rule of the people. When will anybody begin to understand this? Democracy is simply a different form of dictatorship. Here is how it works in short fashion.

In a Democracy, some majority of the people elect their favorite government leaders into office. These leaders might do a few things that the majority wanted them to do. They might even do some things that the MINORITY wanted them to do. Then they do whatever they want... often against both, the majority and the minority. DICTATORSHIP!

A truly right form of government is one where the leaders only do things that don't harm the people. And it is one that a real live 'people' is only attacked by government for literally harming another real live 'people' or damaging his property... or by literal threat that is directed against another real live 'people'.

On top of this, any accusation against a 'people' is adjudicated by a 12-'people' jury of his peers. Any government official acting outside of the way the government legally and lawfully says that they must act, is acting personally, not in his government capacity. He can be attacked as a 'people' and brought to court as a 'people', not as the government official.

I say 'people' above. A person is a name on a document in US law. It might be connected to a man/woman of similar name. A 'people' is a man/woman adult.

Get this stuff into your head. You want a Republic, where any of the laws that government makes can be overruled by the people... a 12-'people' jury. You won't want a Democracy unless you want a dictatorship.

Since democracy is the rule of the people, it has opened our eyes and minds, so we will share our thoughts.

Being a leader requires a lot of effort and dedication, which some leaders are not willing to give. Some leaders are only there for their own self-serving purposes and will simply act in the way they like without regard to the consequences.

Since it is a democratic administration, we can criticize it and demand improvements if we find anything wrong.

If the constituency isn't criticizing the leader, there's probably something wrong. At any time there exists, at least, some level of the population dissatisfied with the state of affairs. And these people tend to yell the loudest, even when being in the minority unfortunately. But that's what democracy allows, for good reason.

When a leader is not doing well it is not expected for the leader to get praises , definitely citizens will criticised the leaders because it is their right to do so. Citizens must correct leaders by criticising them to do the right things, if leaders are not criticise they will do what ever they want to do. Their is  no part in the world that  leaders are not criticise,  this is done for them to serve citizens,  to do right things why they were voted for the position they have.

^^^ The Dems love you.     

In a real and ideal situation, those who criticize government are suppose to be those allowed to show what they have to offer because it may seem that they have better idea. I said ideal because assuming the system is not corrupt, so that they can genuinely offer something positive to growth of the country but the problem is when such person get into power or government and meet bad system, they eat their words and start doing same thing that they have criticized or they are frustrated out of the system by those who are feeding from the corrupt system.

There is nothing wrong with holding a critical opinion about your leader. Just remember to hold enough of a critical opinion about your own ideas that you find out what the truth is.

How do you become a citizen of your country? You were probably born into it. Or you voluntarily joined your country. You can voluntarily leave your country any time. And this doesn't mean you have to leave the land you are living on. Who determines what land belongs to what country? And what authority do they have to say make this determination? It's all arbitrarily done. But if they hold you in contempt for stating that a certain piece of land that you own is your country, you might be right, but if they are stronger, you might be dead.

there is absolutely nothing wrong in critizing your leader. criticism is part of democracy but when you call your country a zoo and all sorts of names and regret being a citizen, you have crossed the redline.
   I also have no problem with some people's vituperation and hate over there country but to suddenly decide to serve the same country you hate is hypocrisy of the highest order. and such people will have nothing to offer.they want to make use of the government to gain there own personal subscription, if appointed at the end. Because there are enemies of the country.
