May 28, 2015 at 22:47 | comment | added | Ask About Monica | @gerrit - I think you're demonstrating why this is a poor skeptics question, because while I'm a reasonable guy, I disagree with nearly everything you just said. If the terms used in the question are that subjective, it's going to be hard to come up with an objective answer. | |

May 28, 2015 at 17:07 | comment | added | gerrit | Voting to close as there is no meaningful way to rank freedom. A political dictatorship could have more liberal laws for social issues like abortion, euthanasia, (same-sex) marriage, divorce, and economic freedoms, than a neighbouring country where an elected government restricts all of those. East Germany decriminalised homosexuality before West Germany, but few would call it more free. Israel has elections and freedom of speech and press, but getting married across religions, or divorced, might very well be easier elsewhere in the middle east. Therefore, this question is not answerable. | |
May 28, 2015 at 16:54 | comment | added | gerrit | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because there is no objective definition of free and democratic. | |
