Why the sudden defensiveness, Darkskul?

Don't worry, I still hate our government, but seriously, that's taking it a bit too far into the ridiculous zone. I also have a hard time believing, quite honestly, that the current administration is comeptent enough to pull that off. That would not be easy to do, and this administration has failed in pulling off most of the shit they've tried.

This is the place where all the junkies go, where time gets fast but everything gets slow.

The problem with any government is that it eventually attracts politicians.

So, Kal, Athgar, do explain how the mindset of a brain-dead anarchist works. I'm quite curious, how does one keep from losing an argument in two statements without sounding like a childish fool fascinated by violence, death, and revolt?

Please, enlighten my mind, it has been clouded by a 'bigoted society that brainwashed me'.

On second thought, don't bother. I've seen enough anarchy to know it doesn't work. A lawless society has nothing to offer but death and chaos.

Off topic, I realize, but that doesn't matter.

Is that why the North American aboriginal populations had less crime, death and chaos than any other civilisations on the planet?

Maybe because there aren't any left? [/joke]

Seriously don't you think it's kinda hard to measure the crime rate of american indians before white people showed up?

I'm just curious where you got your facts...

Ay...missed my point. And they had laws, you do realize this?

I would assumed all societies have laws. I just don't know how you can remotely measure the crime rate of a society that isn't keeping much of an accurate record.

You made a bold statement...

Is that why the North American aboriginal populations had less crime, death and chaos than any other civilisations on the planet?

Where does the factual evidence come from to support this claim? Any BS link will do. But just to simply state it and we are supposed to believe it as fact is a house built on a foundation of sand.

It'll last until the first big storm shows it's a poor foundation for an arguement.

I think in most stateless civilisations there was a lot less crime. But of course there was less incentive.

Anarchy does not imply lawlessness but a lack of hierarchy. It implies lawlessness too, but not like you think. there is such a thing as 'anarchist law'. It states the obvious, for example, murder is wrong.

So who do you think has less crime? The countries with enormous police forces like the USA or Russia, or countries with comparatively smaller and more low-key ones like Sweden?

the answer to that would be to chop every country up into small countries in the size of swedens :sleep:

but seriously though, there is a parallell between big countries and violence. centralization seems to be a provoker of crime here, though i cannot claim why it is that way. prolly something to do with the fact that the more people that has to live in cramped quarters, the easier it is for people to make money on crime because it gets harder for people to stop them. small cities makes it easier for the cops to know the bad guys, and it makes it easier for people to snitch on the badguys.

A 'Western Haircut' is a haircut in which the western side of your head is sheared of hair. I think there might be a problem though as to the exact location of this area of a head. I'll check my compass and orientation shortly and get back to you all with my analysis and determination in awhile, maybe never, as I seem to be going in circles doing this. Well, at least I have a back azimuth so I can get back to where I started. That makes me smart. Hmmmm??

Well Gor that seems rather biased. Perhaps it's the western side of your head that is allowed to grow fruitful and plenty and it's the eastern side that is shaved and barren.

Ha ha ha!!! But no, sometimes the Western Side of the head is the eastern Side of the head, just depends upon which direction one is facing, so the Western Side of the head can at times also additionally be the Northern and Southern Sides of the head.

Glad I always carry a compass. :grin:
