Does anyone reading this forum actually think this form of government would work, or be superior to our current one?

Hello A:

No.

Problems is true democracies are unmanagible in all but tiny countries. And there is nothing wrong with how our government was set up to work... but there is with what Activist Judges that are overstepping their bounds and forcing what could not be legislated so what the left has contorted the government into in their attempt to force socialism onto an unwilling public. And Socialisn has never worked... and will never work. Because it rewards the lazy at the expense of the motivated.

You need to be specific about what period when you refer to our government. Because while most like our form of Democracy... far fewer may like what its been forced into by unelected judges that act like dictators twisting the law and constitution to fit their distorted view of reality TODAY.


Incidentally you are commenting on posts rather than replying to them (or "Answering this question") depending on which forum skin you are using. Big difference. You can't get feedback on a comment... only on a post.

If you see a ? In brackets after a member's name, e.g. Animus [?], that means he is using the new skin.

I didn't like the new skin at all... so not sure what their reply options actually are as a result. Other than its not the right one. A comment can't be quoted without a cut and past... and they can't get greenies or reddies for their reputation score.

Skin? What advantage could a new skin have? I don't understand. Is this a reference to the website?

[Animus]

Of course I am commenting on posts, that is what the comment button is for. I will reply when I mean to.

[Wondergirl]

Animus, you're using the new and improved skin (version of this web site), whereas we are on the old skin that most of us believe is much more user friendly. IT developers are still tweaking the new skin, but refuse so far to get rid of the Comment feature which has caused no end of problems.

[Wondergirl]

"Comment" is a misnomer. You should scroll down slightly to an Answer box and "comment" there. Then we can rate your replies and quote you. If you use the Comment box, we have to manually go through the hassle to c/p your Comment into an Answer box and quote you, like this --

Or this --

[Animus]

Oh I see. Thank you. I will try to work out this technical problem.

[smoothy]

And I do believe Animus is someone that will care about their hard earned reputation score as they spend more time here.

Based on their posts thus far... I see them as someone that's might be around a while... not someone that posts a question or two and is never heard from again.

Animus, respond to this with an Answer, not a Comment. Tell me one sentence.

[Animus]

I seem to be unable to find the options to change my skin so that I can reply to answers... I could use some help.

[Wondergirl]

Animus, scroll down a small amount to find Answer.

[Animus]

My only two options are either "Report Post" or "Comment" there is also the
"Is this helpful" option.

[Wondergirl]

Scroll down more.

[Animus]

You all have been incredibly helpful. People who use this site are very smart cookies.

[smoothy]

Alternately to change the skin you see... Click on my profile... then EDIT OPTIONS

Near the bottom of that you see a Miscellaneous Options...

There is a Forum Skin... I use Light V2 for example... not forum default

[Wondergirl]

Thank you. I'm a librarian and like to know stuff.

To visit us in the old skin, do this --

Go to the top right of your screen, to Settings. Click on that and a window will open. At the bottom left of the window, it should say something like "Take me back to the old skin." Click on that.

I am attempting an "Answer" response and not a comment.
