prudish democracy - basically like what most Muslim countries or states in the Deep South or Utah would be if they became independent, no legal abortions, homosexuality strongly persecuted, no strip clubs, heavy regulations or bans on porn, no prostitution, severe decency restrictions on TV, etc.

sex crazed dictatorship - one party state that does not tolerate political dissent, however prostitution, abortion, pornography, strip clubs are all legal and quite common, gay marriage exists, very open sex ed and free distribution of birth control in the state-controlled schools, etc.

Take a guess at my vote.

The prudish democracy is far more subject to change.

Actually, there have been more cases of a dictatorship being overthrown than a place like Utah opening up to my views.

This was a difficult choice for me. But my love for democracy had me vote for the prudish democracy. The sex crazed dictatorship does sound interesting though.

The first option, obviously.  Who would want to live in any dictatorship?

Prudish democracy.  It's not like I'd be harshly affected by the things that are banned, anyway.

One time I considered having an abortion, but then I realized that I wasn't pregnant because men don't get pregnant.  That was sure a relief.

Democracies are almost always prudish, as the views of the bourgeois majority are typically intolerant and anhedonic. 

A hedonistic dictatorship is far better.

I had you in mind when I made this.

Are the military regimes in Thailand a good example of what I'm talking about?

Yes!  Democracy has been a disaster in that country.  I long for a coup but I suppose it is a vain hope. Sad

thought I'd bump this one. I wonder what the Pinochet loving "libertarians" have to say.

BRTD what are you planning to do if the sex-crazed dictator demands that you have sex with him. Bend over BRTD and grab that hair gel.

Let me pose the same question to you that I did to BRTD:

What are you planning to do if the sex crazed dictator demands that you have sex with him?

Don't be absurd.  A dictator wouldn't need money.

But seriously, what an absurd question.  I assure you beating anyone off with a stick is not a major problem in my life.

Ah yes I forgot. Your sexual preference is "whatever's available".
