The USA is both a democracy and a republic

Republic simply means not a monarchy. Eg. UK is a democracy but not a republic. France during Napoleon was a republic but not a democracy

Most democratic nations started with only wealthy males being allowed to vote. For most nations this didnt change till the 20th century.

Thats an interesting question. When does a country become a democracy? If its with universal sufferage, the US wasnt a democracy till 1965!

Britain introduced universal sufferage between 1920-1928. But England has been a democracy (in some form) since 1688.

Why the downvotes? A cursory google shows at D-Day all Navy forces, 2/3 Air force, 5/7 commanders and most land forces were British Empire.

Knife related homicide is higher in The USA than for instance, The UK. And attacks with knives are half as lethal as those with guns.

If you have to compare the firearms situation in The US to Africa and The Middle East that says it all really ...

Secondly - Even in The US, Im certain most law abiding citizens are less likely to be armed than a criminal. So same applies.

Firstly - Criminals are not 'often' armed with firearms in Europe. Due to those very gun control laws. Its extremely rare.

And one thing everyone forgets is Franklin never even produced the data (Photo 51) they claim Watson and Crick stole. It was her PHD student

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

They absolutely did not become billionares. And to say they stole from Franklin is a massive over-simplification of what occured.

No. Canada fought as a part of the British second army and landed independently at Juno Beach

'Can I' is asking if it is possible. 'May I' is asking if you are allowed. So 'can' is correct in this context. Unless you need permission
