    What do you think is the best one, and why do you think it is the best?

    The best kind would be a non-existent one. Sadly humans aren't at that stage yet, and will possibly never reach that stage unless we cease to be human.

    Once we transcend from NEEDING a government, then that would be the perfect form of government.

    I want to experience communist type of government like in China. I want forced labor and rationing. Selfishness will be non-existent and it will be for the Glory of the state. I've been living my whole life in a democratic government and what are the things that it thought me. In a Democratic, capitalist country, It's the word "I" that rules. the betterment of the self and nobody else. you believe that interfering with other country and let them feel democratic ideas are making those countries better?

    Poverty will be erased in a socialist system, poverty is cause by laziness to work, to be dependent on people that work, but if you are forced to work, you are working and making a living for yourself and stop being dependent on others.

    What are your thoughts on this and pls, stop with the shit like " thats the most stupidiest post ever". Instead of posting that, post your opinion about the topic and defend your opinion. Thanks! Dont want to start a flame war.

    Well the government is simply a group of people who control the minds and wallets of other people by the use of force. It's interesting that some governments are actually elected by a majority, but if you phrased the situation like I just did, they'd deny such loyalties.

    The government will employ the use of force in face of opposition which I find immoral.

    I'm for an organized anarchy (as opposed to the cliche idea of 'chaos'. Any learned person will understand what I mean).

    Dictatorship or communism.

    Both restrict people to a certain degree. Which is good thing, because too much freedom is bad. Look at where democracry brought my country to. You can bribe your way through EVERYTHING, you can bribe cops and we have a racial war brewing between ethnic minorities (gypsies) and neo-fascists. I seriously fear for my life every time go outside.

    Before 1989 Velvet revolution we had a communist party ruling the country and people had jobs, had money and could enjoy a nice life.

    I don't want to propagate any movement against human rights and freedom, but in my humble opinion
    i think that people need a firm ruling hand above them.

    A country ruled by force seems to last longer and better than any type of government. any opinion about that?

    Defitely true that ! look at zimbabwe for example, mugabe ran the country into the ground, but he still held onto power. if mugabe actually had some brains, he could have changed zimbabwe, to be more like on south africa or even better. so i have to agree that either a dictatorship or communist state would be the best way to run things, as long as the head honcho has the brains for the job.

    the best type of goverment is the goverment who put sciences in front of everything and throw every BS comment from religious moron into the trash bin asap.

    i dont respect a government ran by following opinions from religious leaders. like in the Philippines, most our politicians backed out from signing the Reproductive health bill because the Church said they will not receive holy communion if they sign that...

    also, if the type of government should be a democracy, let it be direct democracy like Switzeland. why let a few politicians decide for the people, like if most of the Filipinos want Gloria to have a impeachment trial, why not? because of the representatives, they only think of their carreers, not what the voters who voted for them wants...

    yup, religious moron shouldnt be taken seriously, because they did nothing except perventing scientific advancement. without scientific advancement a nation as whole will never advance.

    this is an easy question. the answer is mixed government. for references as to why, read the portable machiavelli as it contains the good parts of machiavelli's work and as a back-up read montesquieu. once you've read those two then you'll understand why.

    I've never heard of that type of government. What do you mean by "mixed" government? has any nation adapted that or is there a proper name for it?

    IF i'm not mistaken mix goverment is a goverment which consist of a combination of democracy, oligarchy, and monarchy.

    US is an example of mix goverment in since, The President is choosen via majority of the people vote (democracy), bill is written then approve via a number of cabinet member (oligarchy) and only the President is able to lunch a nuke or order any military attack on other country (monarchy)

    Depends on the size the government has to rule over.

    A democracy works for small countries, but when the number of people get too large, there are too many voices with different opinions that nothing is decided any more. I think that then a small group should be on top taking care of the interests of the underlying democracies (yes, I'm saying that the EU democracy is failing, too large).

    I think China is progressing nicely in that area. The idea I got there was that they've stepped away from hard communism, and allow free-markets to do their thing, while maintaining control at a high level. Also, the influence of the media should be restricted in order to keep the national peace. Common people don't care what's happening more than a thousand miles away.
