I'll be worried when they try to nationalize the micro brewers. |

So they protested by throwing eggs? Thats just sad. They need to do something a bit more drastic than throw dairy products at cars if they want to boot a corrupt govenment. There has never been a problem in all the history of mankind, that ample ammounts of firepower could not fix. |

Pick a side, please.
Sides are the problem, as long as there are sides then it will go on forever.
Sides make people like you assume im saying things im not. I said land owners, i didn't say 'only white males' could be land owners.
You said "used to be only land owners" you forgot to point out the fact that, back in that time period, only Male White Land Owners could vote.
Then you said we should go back to that time, which would include all of those.
As for someone saying I'm trying to turn this into a racist/sexist argument, the would denote sarcasm.

Originally by: Herzog Wolfhammer Not only was I a delegate at the state GOP Convention, paying $300 of my own $$ on that endeavor trying to get a real candidate (that would be Ron Paul) who warned us about what is happening...
I have also trained over 700 people in the use of small arms. Ever hear of the Appleseed project? I am helping them next week.
Meanwhile, I grow my own food too and have not touched a GMO/Aspartame/High Fructose/Estrogen mimicking bite of so-called food in years, but have given away more veggies than I could ever eat - mostly to show people that it CAN be done.
So tell me, what have YOU done other than spend time in a game or in a forum IF you want to take the argument in that direction?
In addition to spending most of my spare time not doing those other things, I have also put together thousands of lines of code trying to get people to use encryption ... www.ravenproject.us.
It's because of this that I seldom get time to play EVE and most of what I do is log in and train, then it's back to work.
Farting away? I wish I could spend one whole day farting away doing some PVP perhaps - which would be the second time in nearly 3 years, or some long mission, or exploration.
So I come here once to show respect for our brothers in Iceland and get told I am farting away?

Wow. Way to take it personal when I was implicitly applying my explantion to the masses. As far as your personal activities good for you and gald to see you taking an interest in your future but I still have no respect for violent protesters as they give the government all the excuse they need to blanket ban all public protest. They (the mob) are ****ing it up for the rest of us by being ****y children thowing a tantrum cause they got burned for playing instead of paying attention to what is going on around them. Nothing wrong with being mad about the situation and yes its 100% understandable why people are angry but do you really think eggs and cans thrown on a windshield will fix it?
edit: this exchange was also a good example of how anger can cloud perception and influance responces in ways that are not anticipated.
I agree with Zeba, using violence and your emotions denotes a LACK OF INTELLIGENCE. Violence is not a way to solve problems, unless the people your committing violence against are equally stupid.
Intelligent people find compromise. |

How many intelligent people walked into gas chambers expecting only a shower? Perhaps they should have not compromised when ordered out of their houses. Perhaps the compromise should have stopped when ordered onto the train....
Here is an experiment for you. Stop paying taxes, and see which party, you or the government, resorts to violence first.

I fail to see your argument.
Taxes must be paid as a Government requires them. The government is not a profit making entity or a business (contrary to how the republicans tried to run it recently, and failed)
In the case of the Jews, they shouldve left. They were too weak to do anything on their own, and as a result were rounded up and executed. Racism is wrong, disgusting, and pointless, another sign of being too emotional, and inferior.
To say that there all problems cannot be solved without violence means your simply not thinking hard enough. As it is the nature of stupid people to be emotional and be incapable of being reasoned with, other methods would be required besides compromise but not violence. I think more along the terms of subjugating the unintelligent.

This is truly profound.
Yep.
Next time they should use diapers rigged to release contents on impact or similar products to be more effective. |

Violence is supposed to be used as a last resort, because once you use violence then people know how to handle you in this "polite society" of ours. There are still other solutions to solving a government issue like this, and violence (public executions, the kind where you're pulling politicians into the street and shooting them) can be effective, but it also sends the message that you're a brute and no better if not worse than the government you're protesting, and really is it worth killing people over anything other than defense of someone else's life or yours?
Now when I'm saying violence I'm talking physical harm, I think Icelanders have some balls for standing up to a government that refuses to take responsibility for their actions and I applaud them for it. I don't actually live in Iceland, would never get into a political office or circle and so couldn't tell you what actually went on, but if you have Icelanders protesting on a Tuesday night instead of drinking beer someone did something to make them mad. After all, everyone needs some type of spacer in their sigs to show it's not part of the post.

How does one intelligently compromise with thieves?
"How about I give you this stuff here, and you return some of the stuff you took earlier? Deal?"
I don't think so. |
