Let us be extreme

[Jeslek]

Lets be black and white for a minute. Given the option, would you prefer no government or total government?

 

[Squiggy]

yes

 

[Q]

ok

 

[Jeslek]

no maybe?

 

[BlurOfSerenity]

i'm pretty liberal and all like, "freedom, yah!"
but i voted communism, because i'm more convinced it works, even if only in theory.
anarchy has a few good points, but may be shot down in seconds in any discussion, as i've experienced.
communism, if it were never corrupted, would be pretty ok, wouldnt it?

 

[PT]

Yeah

 

[Dave]

anarchy!!!!

 

[catocom]

I think there will always be some kind of government.
If there isn't someone will start a gang, and that will be the
new government.

There's always some power hungary bastich out there.

Somebody, somewhere will become leader, anarchists (who are incredible followers) or other. No vote from me. Not enough choices.

 

[Dave]

anarchists (who are incredible followers)

explain please

 

[Gonz]

For all the yelling people who think they want anarchy do about personal choice & freedom & such, if you look into their history, you'll find a huge majority are part of groups yelling for todays cause. True anarchists sit in their dark cellars & cogitate on true freedom (wait, that sounds oddly familiar) & lack of government control while finding ways to actually live it.

Interesting moral of the story( of a forgotten story)-if you want to live outside the law, don't break any.

doesn't this automatically exclude these people from the title anarchist?

 

[nnewton]

technically anarchy only means no leader, not no government

 

[nnewton]

so jerrek, what is meant by anarchy, and what is meant by "total government?"

silly poll - but you knew that already

 

[Shadowfax]

i'm missing the "please stop these useless polls" option...

and perhaps it would be nice if you some time took the effort to reply to your own discussions...still waiting in a few threads on replies that will most likely never come.
if you're too afraid to argue, then don't start an arguement.

now, let's start with the kyoto treaty poll....i still have a few unanswered questions over there...perhaps you'd like to take the time to answer those?

or is that too much to ask?
