You didn't correct anything, you d___ f___. You simply went to the CIA site and discovered that, yes, there are in fact democracies in the world that aren't direct democracies. At least I've gotten you to admit that much.

The USA is both a democracy and a republic. Look it up in your dikshunary. If you have one.

You have got to be kidding! Here is your original reply...
The only democracies in the world are direct democracies.
It was YOU who declared that there were only direct democracies in the "world". ("World" as in the entirety of human existence.)
Then you come back and state...
...yes, there are in fact democracies in the world that aren't direct democracies.
You are seriously confused!

At least I've gotten you to admit that much.
I never claimed any such thing. I was the one that showed that YOU were incorrect and now you've even proven it with your own words. Where is it exactly that I was supposed to have admitted anything?

And I'm supposed to be the...how did you put it...stupid fornicator...
You're one funny guy! A real joker.

Look it up in your dikshunary.
BTW, I suggest you look into what our form of government is in something other than a dictionary. Try The Federalist Papers at The Avalon Project
Pay particular attention to #10 , #14 and especially #51...
In the compound republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two distinct governments, and then the portion allotted to each subdivided among distinct and separate departments.

I also recommend The Madison Debates wherein you can read the intent of the Convention and The American Ideal of 1776: The Twelve Basic American Principles (especially Chap 6...Decentralized Government)
These are all so much better in finding out what form of government we have than a "dikshunary".
