I'd love to hear some spitballing about why the hell Nigel Farage visited Julian Assange today. Seriously, wtf?

Wide range of viewpoints is always essential in any debate. I never reject another view I may disagree but always welcome it. I think there is enough historical evidence to support that Muslims do not assimilate well. This doesn't mean all but it's hard to construct an argument that a large Muslim migrant population is ever good for a western society.

You guys do know that a republic IS a democracy, right? It's a representative democracy ala the House of Burguesses in Virginia and somewhat like ancient Rome, rather than a direct democracy ala ancient Athens and the town hall meetings of the New England colonies during colonial days.

What does me or even you going to the Middle East have to do with anything? You do know what they say about anecdotal evidence, right? Anecdotal evidence isn't to be trusted so your opinion doesn't mean a thing. Once again, please show me a modern democracy in the Middle East besides Israel.
what does democracy have to do with being a **** hole or not?
i'm just curious how you can act like your statement is true if you haven't gone there yourself. The middle east is a very interesting place and each country is different there.
thus, why i think and willing to bet large you have never been there to experience anything about any of the countries or cultures to sit here and call other places ****holes.
i think strip malls in the suburbs are ****holes with awful people in em. democracy or any other political system has no bearing on why i think that is a ****hole

here is the whole interaction of this "debate". which is really just you saying something, not answering the question directed about your statement and bringing up Israel for no apparent reason:
yeah, i'm the autistic or complete ****ing moron here.
but nice to know you would compare those 2 things as equal or nearly equal. says a lot about ya

Because modern nations value democracy and the rights of their citizens. Any country that doesn't isn't worth taking seriously. Culture? A large amount of the Middle East is either at war or living under a theocracy. Do you want me tell you the way they treat women or have little girls marrying men old enough to be their grandfather? Why do you think these people are leaving the Middle East nations in droves? Because it is a ****hole over there.
