I really can't wait for 2012 to roll around. I won't be even a little sorry.

They're trying to prove the existence of the Higgs Boson.

'Proof' is for alcohol, mathematics and law, bungholio

To put it better, they want to find evidence for the Higgs Boson.



This thread seems to be full of ad-hominems ;)

No.. they're just modeling anarchy.. first..

Before they sit down.. peaceably together.. to discuss it.. :-)


While we are waiting for the dust to settle..

Below are a couple of examples.. of law.. verses anarchy.. to ponder.

Maybe it will get this thread back on topic,


LAW

Those who pay attention to their hearts.. and consciences.

----

"For the entire Law stands fulfilled in one saying, namely: "You must love your neighbour as yourself."

If, though, you keep on biting and devouring one another, look out that you do not get annihilated by one another."

Galatians 5:14

----

ANARCHY

Those who do what is right.. in their own eyes = lawlessness.

----

"By far the most numerous and most flagrant violations of personal liberty and individual rights are performed by governments.

The major crimes throughout history, the ones executed on the largest scale, have been committed not by individuals or bands of individuals but by governments, as a deliberate policy of those governments. . that is, by the official representatives of governments, acting in their official capacity."

John Hospers

So.. what is anarchy.. really.. ?

Anarchy might actually work if every man loved his neighbour as himself and forgave his enemy. But even then, I think some committees would form here and there. :wink:

"Alright, what if paradise is never achieved?

What if it never happens?

What then?

Then I'll still go ahead. I'll admit what I did; and what I must do.

Accept responsibility for my actions..

Conceal nothing,,

And then, it could be done so easily, in a single day, in a single hour, it could be done.


Surely we could love each other as we love ourselves...

That's the main thing, isn't it?

That's it, nothing else...

Absolutely nothing else is necessary...

Do that and the way forward is clear, isn't it?

Well.... isn't it?


Alright, so its nothing but an old truth, repeated, said billions of times; but why hasn't it taken root then?

If only we all wanted it!

Then everything could begin again."

I can only speak for myself: no.

I suspect other members are smoking crack however.

If people can't get along in democracy, what makes you think they'll get along so much better in an anarchy? Anarchy is NOT the magic bullet for all of society's woes.

I think the word anarchy needs to be looked at. Government laws are not always moral. I do believe that there are enough people out there to establish a new society, one that has no government laws. I'm speaking of people who are more evolved and they don't necessarily have to agree with one another. Consider that you might have been brainwashed into thinking that you cannot control yourselves so you need to pay the police to control you. Fear is the best weapon when someone wishes to control a person or any animal really.

I don't promote reckless abandon and riots and all that propaganda that they want you to fear. I'm talking about not having your wages being taken away and being self reliant and cooperating with others. The fact that there is so much negativity about the word shows that their tactic worked.

And although we all fight here, it's sort of fun. I'm glad to see people have come to their own conclusions about things and obsess about different topics to the point of becoming an expert on it. What good is it if we are all alone though.

Yes, one that will eventually organize itself to resemble the very society it left behind. And in time, that society will sow the seeds of future revolt. It's a cycle. Almost everything in this world is a cycle.

And if it is all just a matter of rise and fall of nations, then hopefully anarchy can do allow for past-peak societies to be replaced by pre-peak societies more rapidly due to the decentralized nature of such a system.
