Do you believe in ghosts?

This is a false statement. An opinion poll is not a democratic process rather it is a survey of opinions using sampling. Fool.

My love,

All polls(elections are polls as well) use samplings.

Kisses and hugs, sweetie

This is a straw man argument (and a weird sentence). I stated that opinion polls are not a democratic process. Opinion polls are executed in such a way that randomly selected samples are used to determine the views of the whole group through statistical methods, while minimizing sampling error and response bias. It is an exercise in scientifically precise wording, execution, and documentation followed by a careful statistical analysis.

Elections don't "use samplings". (Whatever that means. ) Instead, they seek a full vote and count only what arrives without using statistical methods to infer the opinion of the full populace. Fool.

Baby,

You know how your personal attacks turn me on, and you keep doing it. I can only assume you want me as badly asI want you. kisses and hugs, my love

Pefectly described.

Democracy is "mob rule", right? I believe the government we have is called a Representative Republic.

The "Democratic process" only elects Christians to lead this nation. I bet you really love that

A Democracy can be described as Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.

Though there is no direct democracy at the federal level, it most certainly exists on the state level. See also Liberal Democracy.

Good thing the country is run by the Federal government

Who would want mob rule, besides the mob?

The US is an Oligarchy of the rich with a veneer of democracy that allows us to chose which rich guys are in charge (if we bother to vote).

Equal representation means one dollar, one vote.

The U.S. government is actually referred to as a Democratic Republic, although it's much more complex than that moniker implies.

It's, in fact, comprised of three quasi-representative branches called the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The Executive branch is elected through an electoral college in a winner-takes-all contest that only provides representation for members of its own party. The Legislative branch is bicameral comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House allocates seats to states according to population and is the closest thing the U.S. has to a representative body. The Senate allocates two seats for each state, giving states with low population equal footing with larger states (this is an attempt to protect minority interests against democratic interests). Finally, the Judicial branch is a meritocracy selected for life by the Executive branch to enforce the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Among other things, this branch protects inalienable rights from majority law making.

To summarize, the U.S. has three branches containing four bodies, which are a winner-takes-all quasi-representative body, a population-based representative body, a state-based representative body, and a meritocracy. *Whew*

This is a false statement. Individuals other than "Christians" are elected.

The separation of Church and State was prescient. The lack of a similar separation of Money and State is regrettable.

Yes, but did you know that the US Constitution makes special exception for ghosts?

Clause 2: The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the *Life* of the Person attainted.

Personally I think something should be done.

Don't forget the fact the senate has a filibuster to further deny the majority rule.

The constitution can't be changed with a majority((50% + 1) vote either.

No president has ever been elected who didn't believe in Jesus Christ.

Or at least pretend to convincingly

Most Evangelical Christians

Sure - ghosts afterall are the subject of several major motions pictures! (Like who are ya gona' call?)


Some experience ghosts to be discarnate spirits that need to contact living humans to fullfill their earthly desires. The ghosts linger on the physical plane due to a violently/abruptly dis-connection with their bodies at death - and thus they linger until they have fullfilled their unrealized karma/sanskaric connections.

Ain't death grand?!

You forgot the most essiential illusion from the list - you, Ulrika!

:::touches self:::: yep, I'm real . Not believing in witches doesn't harm this witch's self esteem. Born and raised Pagan and have my own beliefs and disbeliefs. Diversity is grand but ignorance really isn't bliss

All wiccans are witches but not all wtiches are wiccan. In case you were *really* interested

Oh, and I believe in *ghosts* too

Since Ulrika hasn't responded yet...

Has your existence been verified by repeatable physical experiment and published in a peer-reviewed journal?

Wow. That is definitely out of my scope. But it is definitely a good way to do some valid research that can be possibly taken seriously by the scientific community.

yes, I do it every day

Yes, by allowing my name on peer reviewed jounal publications they are recognising my existance.

Does this make me special?

Yes! *hugs*

Publication is irrelevant to establishing existence. The fact that my existence can be tested repeatably is sufficient. In fact it's trivial.

However the existence of supernatural beings (ghosts, gods, vorpal bunnies) cannot be tested repeatably.
