Yes a simple majority to pass a bill into law. A simple majority in the Supreme Court to decide the law unconstitutional. In both countries to change or amend the constitution requires more than a simple majority. I well remember when we got our new constitution. The poster you responded to was correct.
Your poor attempt to advocate tells about your mindset. And it was the first thing you thought of as a deeply flawed comparison. Your faith? I would be happy to know you did not represent any ideology.
I do not have to get over it, and that makes you angry. Again, would you tell Mary to get over it?
What did I miss since the 50"s? Tell me what was going on that I missed. Share your knowledge with me.
Please.
I have chills with you getting psychological on me. Truly, the thought is chilling.
Yes...I would tell Mary to get over it, if she actually existed...

The role of a constitution was given to over role a majority and you brought up majority and democracy. I did read it but if I missed your point I apologize. Majority does not rule, can just make laws.
Hey now....I'd bey lying if I never said that people claiming to be Christians had done wrong, hateful, and stupid stuff. But that's kind of a rude comment.
Good point. I get what you're saying. It is interesting that people want them in government buildings, but not necessarily displayed prominently on their front yard. That's kind of a profound statement, actually. Great point.
Viz I do not want to be rude. I sincerely apologize.
I get memorials, but why that one thing. Was the stone not enough?
I always wondered why people do not put as many crosses as flamingos on their lawns. It makes sense if you live your faith, you would put crosses on the lawn. I have have lots of cheezy flamingos. I would have lots of crosses if I were so inclined.
I have a different take on it. I know a sculptor who made a bottle tree. On each branch he placed a wine bottle. Every leaf was a fish. It represented Jesus miracles. Someone stole it from his yard, but bottle trees started popping up in places.
I have a dear friend, and his is home, is also the church, and crosses are every where outside. He knows how I feel about crosses. It doe not effect our friendship.
I was commissioned for a stained glass piece for his church of a large cross and I declined, but will be making a piece with loaves, fish, wine, grapes. It speaks to how Jesus lived, not how he died.
What if there is a minority of Jews, Muslims, Zoroastrians, or Hindus living in that town?
"Majority rule" is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

We see why the far right has contempt for the Supreme Court.
So elect officials and pass bills not by who or what gets the most votes! Minority rule! A small group who does what they want, despite the majority of the people. That my friend is how it is done in Latin America and in the Middle East!

Scenario.
Your father was killed by multiple gunshots in a drive by. Your mother was standing right next to him holding your sister.
You are out with your mother a few weeks later and you hear the backfire of a car. Your mother reacts.
She is in full blown panic mode. She is sweating profusely. All she wants to do is run.
You grab her arm and say... Get over it.. oooh dad got shot oooh. get over it.
