A dictatorship is a government headed by a dictator or more generally any authoritarian or totalitarian government. It is considered to be the polar opposite of a democracy. A dictatorship is often seen as equivalent to a police state, but the term dictatorship refers to the way the leaders gain and hold power, not the watch kept on the citizens. Some dictators have been popular enough not to have to employ many very oppressive measures. The term generally has a pejorative meaning in reference to a government that does not allow a nation to determine its own political direction by popular election.[/b]

this is a dictatorship and im the dic[/b]

pythagoras' theorem (^=to the power of):

How's this? In England, kings (and queens) used to have to be elected to the throne! The council for electing monarchs was called a witanagemot, or just a witan. This was the policy until the arrival of William the Conquerer, who declared that all of his sons and his sons' sons would inherit the throne after him.

fact.

Ivan IV ("the Terrible/Dread") had three legitimate sons: Ivan V, Dmitrii, and Fedor (or Theodore as the English version). He killed his first son by striking him in the head with his staff, the second's death was controversial (murder vs. accidental suicide), and the third was an idiot known as "the Bell Ringer". Fedor's favorite past-time was to go around ringing the church bells. He didn't last long on the throne and was the last of the line that came from Russia's first (Varangian, btw) ruler, Rurik.

Actually I think that's true. Your finger wouldn't really put up much more resistance then a carrot against your jaws. I think the jaws are actually like the strongest part of your body or something.

Technically, if it's after midnight (i.e. 12:01) wouldn't it also be 23 hours and 59 minutes beforemidnight?
