American Revolution

Name: Anonymous 2006-05-30 19:00

So really, what are the chances of an uprising in modern day America?  Not only do you have police everywhere, along with National Guard/Reserves and regular military bases throughout the country, but anyone that dares to fight  is an automatic criminal/militia/fanatic/terrorist.  Of course that means you're judged by the very rules you're trying to overthrow... but what chance is there that someone could overthrow the country's entire rule system and start from scatch, or even have the support of the majority of the people who watch TV and see everything thtrough a filtered media that puts negative spin in order to dissuade the efforts of a revolution?  The problem is the majority of the population is content and complacent.  Revolutions occur when the majority is poor, pissed off, and tired of the current system.  It would require people to have no access to their books, television, movies, computers, video games, or anything else to distract them.  It would require wealth to diminish to nothing, houses to lose their value, and utilities and public programs to become completely ineffective.  I don't see any of this happening unless the US is assraped by the Middle East or communist Asia.

Sorry, but your argument was so full of holes and ambiguity I could only guess what you were trying to say. I'm thinking that maybe 62 hasn't repsonded yet because he has no idea either. So I'm saging this thread so it dies if 62 doesn't care.

The discussion seems to go like this.
You: Oh we need 100% capitalism because the poor are stupid and lazy.
Someone: That's stupid, people are rich because they own everything and make people depend on them not because they are superior.
You: Oh yeah well I agree, we need 100% capitalism and no monopolies.
Someone: So you agree that the government shuold have control over things that can only be run by 1 institution? That isn't a 100% capitalism.
You: Oh yeah well I agree, we need 100% capitalism and everyone gives 40% of their income to pay for the police, hospitals and roads and things.
Me: Property owners should pay more tax since they are gaining wealth without doing any work, this would be fair and dependant on how much they owe society for the priviledge of being able to sit around and jerk off all day if they wanted to.
Someone: Private companies shouldn't be able to influence the government.
You: Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare. Oh yeah well I agree, the government should give a little in welfare.
You posing: lol im a communist lolol

If you can't (intentionally refuse to develop a simple rational argument to define the steps you would take, you are just sidestepping and hopping around like a prancing faggot. I'm not sure why you are wasting your time, your arguments are so mentally feeble you can't be testing your ability to persuade or anything.
