If it makes you happy, I will start saying "Third World republics" instead of "Third World democracies" because today's Third World republics are dysfunctional jokes just the same. Why do people like you get all uptight about when people say "democracy" instead of "republic." Are you so anal that you don't realize that "democracy" is the commonly used term for "republic." No pure democracy exists today. They are all republics. So there's no need to write a long, anal-retentive article about it.

Don't worry, you are not the first anal-retentive to make a big deal out of the use of the word, "democracy," instead of "republic." This seems to be a big theme here. That people make such a big deal out of shows they have a lower intelligence level. As I said, no pure democracy exists today. They are all republics for sure. Don't u have the common sense to realize that "democracy" means "republic" in common parlance?
