I was recently sitting at home and, like always, my parents turn on some sort of presidential thing dealing with the two candidates.

If theres two things I despise talking about more than anything its politics and the other is religion. Those two topics bore me to death and for some odd reason I feel like people get offended in a political or religious discussion.

But on the topic at hand, while they were watching that, for some reason the idea of America in anarchy popped into my head. I remember in my old World History class when I was bakk in high school, the class was having a discussion and I remember someone saying that "If we don't like our government, we have a right to overthrow" That also played a part in my thinking. It was also the fact that I've been overhearing lots of complaints where I live about the government.

So, anywho, feel free to discuss this and state you're opinions on the matter.

Anarchy is a dumb idea and should never be suggested, thought of in a good way, or put into practice.

Agreed. Skrrp tried to convince me it would work, but even he failed. Its just a survival of the strongest situation. With no government, we would degenerate into a similar situation as the Africans. Thats a sick place in many parts.

Expect redneck gun-wagons to be pulling up to your house to rape and pillage every day if anarchy was allowed.

The idea of revolting would be to overthrow the broken government, recreate a fixed form of government, and get back to normal life, similar to what the colonists did back in the 1700's.

Anarchy is not the goal of that statement, I assure you.

If America went into Anarchy it would be extremely vulnerable to its enemies. Not a goood idea. Plus this would never happen.

I don't see it. America wants change for sure, but I think they are generally happy with both candidates since they are each quite different from the current administration.

I don't think America knows what it wants, really. Or at least how what it wants works.

America doesn't have enemies. Those assholes with money have enemies.

What did you call the Japanese and the Germans in World War 2. Something like that isn't liable to happen again, but you never know.

What assholes with money? America has plenty of enemies.

That's past tense. If you wanted to name everyone we've ever been to war with, go ahead, but I don't the point.

President Bush for one. :/

Trying to separate yourself from people whom you consider at blame in your country as being the ones that are hated enemies is foolish. That's not how the rest of the world sees it, so you shouldn't trick yourself into thinking that's how it is. It's everybody or nobody. America has a fair deal of enemies.

With an approval rating at 30%, I doubt the President really represents America anymore.

So, my enemies are automatically given to me based on where I live in the world?
