Some more info:

Every doctor can choose not to do it. If the question is put to a doctor multiple times by a child and he wants to go further with it, he has to consult a second doctor first. A third doctor needs to examine if the child is capable of making rational decisions about the matter. If he decides this is not the case, he can veto the procedure. (Most importantly I don't know if they can try to counter it in any way from that point on but found nothing about it in sources on the internet). The medical team needs to examine every alternative solution and supply info to the parents.

In contrast to adults, a child needs to be terminally ill (sorry Primo ). Or that is what they told us in the media, I didn't read the entire law. Only a few children each year have the right conditions for this law to apply, and even fewer of them will proly make use of it.

wait...you're concerned about flints pants?

Large scale solar panels are bad for the economy AND the environment. They are only good for small scale power consumption at desolate places. Nobody can tell what future technology will bring but for now its simply not profitable.

Damn people want to see you with that sign yell, nobody dared putting my post to second place in this forum for 3 entire days!

...so I suggest you mail me the pictures first and I sell them. You get 50% if you get back...deal?

"Little Paul, for thirty years Chinese growth has exceeded India's.
For the past thirty years Singapore has outgrown virtually any country."
You want to live in any of those? When you go from 1 to 2 it means 100% growth. When you go from 10 to 15 only 50. That is why growth percentages should be interpreted right.

We have seen many econs grow out of nothing, but none of them non-democracies econ lasted very long. My claim still stands, freedom needs to be guaranteed by the system for stability and prosperity in the long run.

"What is size to do with a model working or not?"
Many small countries live from either tourism, resources or tax evasion so are not representative. If they do not, they usually benefit from something else (lucrative cooperation with a bigger nation.)

Further more it is statistically much more easy to find a small abomination then a large one. There are islands of a few people claiming independence. If you bring the math down to a few people it gets ridiculous.

"Some of these countries aren't democracies."
Give an example then. Don't point at countries with over the top resources or countries so small you don't know if you passed the border 2 times in 10 minutes.

China is an example of a sinking ship where most people live in poverty and pollution. But the little freedom they gave brought (poorly divided) wealth. If it became slowly democratic it could really grow, but I doubt it.

There is no example on earth of a non-democractic country growing rich unless they have abundant resources of one kind or another. Even IF you could name one or two, it would still be an exception.

It took the western world a long time to become a little democratic with many steps back and forth, we shouldn't expect those people to become democratic overnight.

A solution to your problem would be to deny anyone who hasn't been a citizen from birth a vote.

@arby:
The problem with public executions is you don't have an honest defense.  You don't need honest defense for the 1 out of ten criminals but for the 9 out of ten good people. (the equation is just a random figure pointing out the majority of people never did anything wrong). Also don't forget a large part of the population is downright retarded.

@all
I do however support these modern versions of undercover operations to track down criminals. We should protect our children.

Wouldn't surprise me yell. There is a politics forum after all and the website is in English. But it would ofc point out why the poll hasn't got any more positive about their econ.

@fool:
"This is very true. The only way out is through a dramatic shift in focus on what is important, from money and material possessions to the enjoyment of life."
So...you're a Dudeist?

On a more serious note, you don't provide a worked-out alternative. Kemps social, economic and state model is pretty clear, and proly very close to mine, but what do you advocate then?

Strange that no-one predicts them to grow as fast or faster as they did. Not so long ago many people here predicted them to overtake the world economically.

Maybe I should have had every option end with: "but shut up LP" and them 2 persons would have voted something else.
