Hehe, precisely. They're still a bit scary, though.


And that's it, I suppose...

They worry me.


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 103

Mr. Carrot

As they should, considering where you live.


And that's it, I suppose...

I'd start singing patriotic songs and waving flags, but I'm afraid I burned them all. Hey, wait, isn't that illegal....?


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 105

Mr. Carrot

It might be, but it shouldn't.


And that's it, I suppose...

darakat - Now with pockets!

Indeed it is. I suppose.

Nah, it's not illegal. Every republican president in the history of the United States has tried to make it illegal, but it hasn't become law. It's just like burning a cross in someone's front yard; there are a million charges they can bring against you when you do it that have nothing to do with the actual action.


And that's it, I suppose...

Arson is what they do here.

Post 109

I've never tried it. I prefer to keep the flag and throw it back at every patriot who tries to tell me how grateful I should be to live in a wonderful country. To an extent they're right, but I'm a belligerent teenager, right?


And that's it, I suppose...

I usually state that I am burning the flag to show the fact I believe that the country I was burn in no longer exists thanks to the government.


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 111

Tacysa

Hmm, at least you can say that your country existed at one point.


And that's it, I suppose...

Mr. Carrot

The odd thing is that I think it's illegal over here. A famous Norwegian comedian did it live when the US waged war on Iraq, and I think he got quite a hefty fine for it. They say that Norway is the last communist state, and in a sense, they might be right.


And that's it, I suppose...

Just as a correction: the United States is not at war with Iraq. Congress never declared war and the president can't do it himself. We haven't been in a war since WWII. Does this sound like insanity to you?

Well, if the communism works, why the heck not use it?


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 114

Mr. Carrot

Oh, but of course, it's only a "limited millitary action". What's the difference anyway? It was an invasion of another country, and an armed conflict, therefore, it was a war. The declaration is unimportant.

Because it's authoritarian.


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 115

Tacysa

Nope, they're called 'police actions' here. I think America should just go home.

All government is; it's unavoidable.


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 116

Todays police action is arts and craft!

Sorry.

If you don't have a goverement...


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 117

Mr. Carrot

What on earth has a millitary occupation got to do with the POLICE???

Just had to, I suppose.

Then you have anarchy, which leads to troubles, which leads to feudalism, which might in turn lead to a revolution and democracy. All government is authoritarian, but there are degrees. Liberalists sacrifice equality to get freedom. Socialists sacrifice liberty to attain equality. It's a well known fact.


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 118

Tacysa

That's what it's called. Besides, there are police in the military. We're policing everyone and causing global hate and discontent.

*shrugs*

Screw it all, why don't we just eliminate a lot of people and have decency? Oh, I forgot, that's a hell of a lot to ask from people.


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 119

darakat - Now with pockets!

and which people do you eliminate? Its genocide.


And that's it, I suppose...

Post 120

Tacysa

You're right. Genocide is so unoriginal.
