These kids have a good grasp of how democracy really works!

Lets all fuck the world up with over-population and mass-consumption together. Democracy - It's definately kind to humans, but it destroys the thing that supports us - The planet.

@dougymoo Then we'll have to find a new host (a new planet).

So bugs replies - "I have no idea how to solve the problem we face. I'm going to discard any ideas that do solve the problem, because they're against my morals, values, and emotional lifestyle. I am the voice and vote in democracy that makes the government say, 'Oh shit, we can't do that to fix this problem. That person doesn't like it." - You're lucky you live in democracy fool. But natural selection still stands superior. Parasites (you) die when the host (the planet) dies. How's suicide feel?

@dougymoo Thanks for the eugenics speach. Let me be the first to say YOU FIRST.

Democracy is where a country provides a system to the people to perpetually define the true will of their majority. And, the legislature is responsible for putting their true will in to law. No such country has ever existed. Democracy is just a theory that's never been tried. But, it should in order to give the rest of the countries a shining example to follow. It would work better than any form of government ever tried, because the people just want peace, justice and prosperity.

Democracy is... fools electing opportunistic assholes, who get manipulated by lobbies.

When we get operated on, we expect the surgeon to be a qualified professional. When we get on a plane, we expect the pilots to be qualified professionals, but when we elect our leaders, we choose random slick talking incompetents? What the fuck is wong with this picture?? Would you like an ignorant fucktard to fly your plane? No? Then why let him run your country? Technocracy ftw!

I think this was a really inventive video, and very well done. I think the point of this contest is to allow people from all over the world show how democracy can be viewed differently by many different people. To some people it's good, and to some it's not so good.
