Mina Synd 0 Posted August 5, 2008 lately our current governments have been as bad... i just read a newstory about Ian Oakly who launched a campaign of intimidation against the liberal democrats in his area o.o; for a conservative it seems pretty darn gutsy XD tyre slashing, graffiti and threatening letters o.o; let's hope if anarchy does become the countries' main party that it'll be a tad more organized and safe then we would expect from the term "anarchy" o.o Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 291 Posted August 6, 2008 Some psychologist named Steven Pinker wrote this. I thought it was stated well enough to put in here. Adjudication by an armed authority appears to be the most effective violence-reduction technique ever invented. Though we debate whether tweaks in criminal policy, such as executing murderers versus locking them up for life, can reduce violence by a few percentage points, there can be no debate on the massive effects of having a criminal justice system as opposed to living in anarchy. The shockingly high homicide rates of pre-state societies, with 10 to 60 percent of the men dying at the hands of other men, provide one kind of evidence. Another is the emergence of a violent culture of honor in just about any corner of the world that is beyond the reach of law… The generalization that anarchy in the sense of a lack of government leads to anarchy in the sense of violent chaos may seem banal, but it is often over-looked in today's still-romantic climate.

Mina Synd 0 Posted August 6, 2008 o.o so very true... but i don't think that is the kind of anarchy saracen is promoting. it's not real anarchy it's just a lil band camp that wants to call themselves anarchial to be cool xD; Share this post Link to post

Mina Synd 0 Posted August 7, 2008 i wonder what'll happen first, saracen getting bored of anarchy and finding something else or him getting arrested o.o; cos it's bound to be one or the other sooner or later... XD; let's just hope he doesn't get dragged into an extremist subculture and end up trying to blow up some trains under the name of allah >_>; Share this post Link to post
BioBen 3 Posted August 7, 2008 ...Bath being a geographical place in U.K. I realize that, i did live in the uk once before. and mina thats just silly, you don't even know if he's religious Share this post Link to post
Saracen 16 Posted August 7, 2008 Anarchists don't believe in Religion, we're all Atheists to the core! We also call for the abolition of religion since it's widely regarded as another form of control. And Mina, your contribution to this topic is rather destitute in acute contention. In fact, sometimes you come across as rather dolt! Share this post Link to post

Nmenth 291 Posted August 8, 2008 Anarchists don't believe in Religion, we're all Atheists to the core! We also call for the abolition of religion since it's widely regarded as another form of control. Well there's a major contradiction. Control people's personal beliefs to prevent control? This goes even beyond physical restriction... I know religions all have rules, but these are moral rules, not authority enforced laws (with the exception of church-governments such as the former Vatican influence and current Muslim territories). If you abolish religious regulations, then you enter a new level of lawlessness, that in which even personal limitations are not allowed. Thus, no one can say they would not do something because they don’t feel it is right, because there can be no right or wrong with no personal limitations. How can anarchists call for freedom and promote oppression at the same time? I’m afraid that abolishing freedom of religion has extinguished what little respect I had left for the idea of anarchy.

TheBlackOut 7 Posted August 8, 2008 Anarchists don't believe in Religion, we're all Atheists to the core! We also call for the abolition of religion since it's widely regarded as another form of control. I know plenty of people who believe in Christ yet aren't controlled by the Church. And I mimic what Nmenth is saying... if you're a true Anarchist, you wouldn't care what people were. You wouldn't try to speak for all of them too... Share this post Link to post

Mina Synd 0 Posted August 8, 2008 hey hey hey i wasn't saying you were a religious fanatic type so let's cut with the high and mighty crap o.O i was saying that if you believe in chaos chances are you're gonna be tempted by a chaos subgroup in attempting to get stuff done. and what makes you so different from a religious extremist trying to blow something up if you take the same route? at least he has the excuse of trying to achieve something... you're just doing it to cause chaos. just don't head down that route at all... it's bad enough you're trying to corrupt all of us and make us tear down our happy little lifestyles but if you actually went out and started causing trouble you might end up hurting innocent people. and i don't just mean hurting via death or pain. even something as minor as spray painting a wall can hurt someone :\ and the shoplifting thing you were talking about a few weeks ago? do you really think that hurts no-one? for all you know you could be ruining some security guards life by getting him fired and a black mark on his record. or taking something that honest paying customers might need... don't write off my opinions because you don't like what i say :\ Share this post Link to post
Masked Shah 5 Posted August 27, 2008 pass >.> i don't believe even the best anarchy system could work for long. no order means the oppotunity for bad people to take power o.O anarchy is a state between governments... but let's not drag this into a political discussion here c.c But Dsytopia lasts Forever!!! wiki it up...
