Me: How am I being hypocritical?
Because you CANNOT impose something to other nations just by using brute force and just by thinking you are in the right!

Thats not an example of hypocrisy. Do you understand what hypocrisy is?
Hypocrisy is saying one thing and doing another. Right now our actions are
consistent with our words. So we are not being hypocritical.

Hypocrisy isnt about being right or wrong. It is about being consistent with your own beliefs or words.

Your version and understanding of democracy makes me very uncomfortable.
|
Sorry to hear that.
Unfortunately, this is a public forum. So I am allowed to express whatever thoughts I wish. Whether you agree with them or not.
You do have recourse; you could choose to ignore me. But I am not going to stop talking merely because you don't like what I have to say.

By the way, Americans did not invent democracy

Who is claiming otherwise?
The concept of democracy predates America by a couple thousand years.

Why? Cause you don't care about other nations.

I disagree.

You involve only if the involvement pays off in terms of economy, military or whatever you consider to be your interest.
|
How did you determine that the two are mutually exclusive? Are you saying it is impossible for us to
really care about the People so long as we are benefiting militarily/economically/or whatever?

And then you call that "democracy" to get support inside your own country

If what you are saying is true, what would be the point of labeling any action in defense of "democracy" at all? You are claiming we only care about personal gain. So why would "democracy" have any affect on swaying the American masses towards a particular action?
