Talking about dictatorships and mafia and theocracy and democracy.

Bella: Oh yeah I forgot about all you stragglers who are similarly oppressed!

Yeah, we're all in this together!  

And you can still call me pony by the way, if you want. It's what everyone still knows me as.

In England we have a very weird situation. We are technically a theocracy (or something very similar) but we are also largely a democracy in reality. As my friend put it, we're just enough of a democracy to make people feel that it is one.

It's a stupid absolute shambles, but like Windows, they keep patching it and somehow it keeps on trundling down the road.

Ponyella: Oh yeah! That name change confused me.

Or... Lauren as well, if my piss poor memory serves me well this once?

I've been to Wales twice and it's awesome. I've not quite been to Scotland although I got close once. I really want to go there one day. I've not been anywhere near Ireland yet, but I hope to make it there too at some point. But I'll have to figure out which part to visit based on religious nuttery density.

Pony or Lauren, it doesn't really bother me that much.  

Come to Scotland, it's pretty alright here.

Do you have one of those really cool Scottish accents? The ones that don't pronounce vowels?

M'd'r = Murder

P's'm'k = Pacemaker

Not really fully sure to be honest, haven't paid much attention to it but probably will now. I'm from Glasgow, so I guess my accent is strong.

Excellent! I love Scottish accents.

Whether I can understand them is another matter. That depends. I once had to try and serve a very drunk Scot with a very thick accent. I had literally no idea what he was saying. I encouraged him to point.

We need to hear an accent tag from you

Ideology and worldview of Modern dictatories base on science and philosophy and technology.

Theocracy base on thosh of religions.

modern dictators love people that think and act like dictator want.
Hitler loved German race nationalist people.

Theocracy love people that like religion.

But Mafia like only money and power. they do not love any people and do not act by principled.

The governments elected by democracy have pretty much resulted in ruling governments that could be described the same way you're describing the mafia, dictators and a theocracy.

We use the same system here. It sort of reminds me of those old Toyota turcels you see on the road sometimes. Its old as fuck, and you keep expecting to breakdown on the highway and leave you for dead, but it just keeps on ticking.
