I am no Baldrick lad and trickery is not my best trait.Your deflection prowess however is to be admired.
I do not lecture myself with the rare gift of excellence in debate as I am not worthy.I think I previously mentioned that ?
But then neither are you Jazz based on your previous contributions.
It's not an insult lad but merely an observation.
I really really have to go now so all the best and goodnight son.

I'm glad you straightened that out.

Goodnight. I think I'm already dreaming.

Allow me to be pedantic and say that you're being impertinent and we are all impermanent.
Well I'm inclined to say that I gravitate towards enlightened despotism but that seems quite unlikely to happen.
I'm not that opposed to democracy actually but I'd restrict it to people who are actually intelligent and informed enough to be allowed to vote.
All votes aren't quite equal, citizenship is a duty after all and a right to vote should be earned instead of being open to anyone and everyone, even people that really couldn't care less or don't know what they're voting for to begin with.

Goodnight lad.

My question is to Mr Cat ..
If you do not as you have previously mentioned acknowledge democracy then what do you advocate in it's place.
Please do not get excitable as it's only a question but one I am interested in.
You seem a political animal but do not share an affiliation to the ballet box.

Enlighten me Mr Cat ?

Nothing beats strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords as a basis for a system of government.

If I was to say I know from what I have read then you would lecture me on not believing all I read..

So instead I will turn devils advocate and redirect the question to you.
What do you know without having read in the media or listened to you pals know in absolute fashion about Donald's business acumen's.
What do you really really know son.

I'll bite. Facts: The Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Castle, Trump Plaza and Casino, Plaza Hotel, Trump Hotels & Casinos Resorts (four properties jointly) and Trump Entertainment -- that's six separate entities -- all filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the space of 17 years. Over $6 billion in debt that went unpaid, and $900 million in personal guarantees on the first deal, or for forgiveness of which Trump had to give up hefty equity stakes.

Opinion: Granted, the only businesspeople worse at running businesses appear to be the bankers that keep lending him money. Is this indicative of business lack of acumen? I'd say so, because business, like all human relationships, is built on trust. If you screw over lenders (or business partners, subcontractors, spouses, etc.) as a matter of habit, it's means relatively few people trust you, which means that probably it will be difficult to be a good businessman.

Facts: Business failures without declaring bankruptcy, courtesy of Snopes:

Trump Steaks
GoTrump (online travel site)
Trump Airlines
Trump Vodka
Trump Mortgage
Trump: The Game
Trump Magazine
Trump University
Trump Ice (bottled water)
The New Jersey Generals (pro football team)
Tour de Trump (bicycle race)
Trump Network (nutritional supplements)
Trumped! (syndicated radio spot)

I'd love to tell you about his business success to balance this out, but -- fact -- unlike Chapter 11 proceedings, which are public, his tax returns aren't, and -- opinion -- likely won't ever be made so.
