Governments and Politics

In my experience those who say that are somewhat lacking in the sanity department themselves. As are those who listen to the madmen in the first place.

You addressed me as King in your reply. This reversal of acknowledgement as to who is actually King is another sign of insanity. As is his schizophrenic and delusional ramblings proclaiming that I, Ardeshir Artaparsi assasinate people, something which is totally false and indeed laughable. It is also laughable to say that I have a bank (whatever this "bank" thing is) or that I, or my family do nothing for the poor.

I now must request of His Majesty the King and considering this dialogue that Christos is transferred to a maximum security asylum. He needs special care in the hopes of restoring some semblance of sanity, and I am afraid standard incarceration is doing him further harm. It would be for his own good, he must be confined and cared for lest he harm others and himself in his delusions.

Would I be going out of place to suggest we should just execute him? Would it not be doing him a favor? Every day he lives, he brings himself further and further away from true religion, and by killing him, perhaps God shall have mercy on the rest of us.
 
Democracy, means that the people elect their rulers.
 
No but, there would not be any such concept in ancient times. And even if there were, why should we use it? What benefits does it bring? The common people are too stupid to choose their own leaders.
 
And the leaders are far more stupid that even their people.
 
Really? If anything the leadership is being kind and merciful. If I were the King or High Priest (Filli Noctus and Jehoshua forgive me for such comments) I would ensure that your head was removed!

Asking a heretic to recant is simply pointless. They will recant to avoid physical death, but their body and soul shall still burn in Hell.

The heretic's only hope is to truly be restored to grace, and we should not give him outside help in doing so, no threats, no promises. Give him a day to reconcile himself with God, then remove his head!
 
Kill and you will make me martyr!!
 
Oh what foolishness... Dying for a false faith will not gain you eternal life, but Hellfire.

I will no longer argue with such a person. Our Great, Blessed High Priest may be willing to call you insane, but I think you are fully aware you spit in God's face and still presume to do so.

But I shall no longer usurp the authority of the priesthood. Farewell. And may the government of Persia see the wisdom of my words, if indeed there is any to be found.

You correct the concept of Democracy is more Modern term. I believe the French first used it during the French Revolution, but the Republic is an ancient form of government. Rome and Greek City States are 2 examples of Ancient City States.
 
We do not need this democracy. Persia is still to young and the people to uneducated. The Minister of the People is elected by popular vote and that is enough. What we do need is help for the poor, and a Bill of Rights.
 
I have decided to award the position of Minister of Domestic Affairs to SmugKitteh. As he has continued his families tradition of wise counsel the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs is awarded to Ardeshir Artaparsi.
I remind you again that you must publicly state your candidacy for the position of Prime Minister.
To stimulate the competition my brother has an announcement to make.

I hereby announce my intention to run for the office of Prime Minister of the Persian Empire.
-Farzan Noctus
 
Occ: Fine. If you all get 10 different positions because of your family members I am running for prime minister to.

I Delir Doteiti announce my candidacy for Prime Minister. I will try to further some of the Humanitarian issues of my wife as well as some of my own agendas. My main goals will be to elevate unemployment, settle in the Babylonians, the production of another worker to improve lands more quickly, and to restore public faith in the government.

I Jasmine Doteiti fully support my husbands candidacy and hope as an accomplished philosopher he will be given a chance to make a positive difference in this world.
 
I have one question. Why only 3 or 4 families have all positions and run persia while others (not me) dont have any position? We need new politicians and not the same that destroyed persia.
 
WELL, Some made good use of their early advantage and don't allow former rebels much power, some just joined, and some get elected by the public. All of which aren't currently in prison unlike yourself :( (Just don't be so troublesome and you wont be put in jail as much)
 
ooc: I want to be executed so i will start a peacefull life of banker.
 
ooc: No can do Chistos, life imprisonment is the punishment. You could try suicide but I suspect that's against the 'principles' of your false god.

IC: Minister Doteiti, if I wanted to fill all positions with my family I could have done so long ago. You will note I have studiously avoided doing so and only appointed family members when no one else is available due to being rebels or being struck down by the wrath of Ahura Mazda for being rebels and the second appointment was only temporary. Please get your facts straight before spouting false rhetoric.

ooc: Can your husband even run? I don't see him on the citizen list.
