lol these people are so naive. The reason why dictators like staying in power for decades is they have to answer to no one and can do whatever they want. They solely write the laws of their land and choose when they feel like following and enforcing them so obviously their job is a bit easier then one who actually has to follow the laws written and can't do whatever they want. XD

I really hope this is a joke because it makes our leaders look so dumb. lol

They don't get why a dictator would want to be in power so long? That's what the dumb comment was referring to. It's quite obvious why dictators want to be in power for so long as it's because they have total control and don't have to worry about anything other then someone trying to kick them out of power which don't happen all that often as it's usually death that ends a dictator's reign.

I say the house of reps and senate needs to join the president on being on term limits. Otherwise, it don't really work as far as being a democracy as people can turn the job of being in congress as a career(which many do) when it shouldn't be IMO.

Yeah and a lot of people would like to assassinate you. Probably more than if you would have been accepted by the majority of civilians in your country.

Yeah I totally get why people would want to be a dictator :unsure:

I mean I know why dictators want to stay in power because they can't ever let go of it.

I never meant to say why people would want to become one in the first place. If history says anything then it shows all dictators get thrown out of power which many times includes their death as well. Unfortunately the lust for power overpowers the very thought of how stupid it is when one walks a road that is certain to lead to their death. Of course most are probably nuts to begin with. lol

I honestly wouldn't know why anyone would want to be in power over any country because you automatically ensure a group of people that will hate you. Some of which are crazy enough to attempt to end your life because they don't agree with your way of thinking regardless if it might be good or not.

More like the illusion of more freedom. Then again freedom boils down to just privileges anyways which can be removed whenever they get in the way of whoever is in power.

I so feel you on that one! You can't make everyone like you. It's impossible! With love comes hate. It just makes you more noticeable to the people who may not have noticed you before and since people just love to hate even if you did no wrong to them the fact that you have power and they don't makes them envious and jealous of you. Hatred is a horrible thing...
