then after your done reading up on marxism read: 1984 and animal farm by george orwell and you should then have a more full understanding of why communism isn\'t \"evil\",  just flawed.

And even our own government has many flaws.
nothing\'s perfect.
Only thing is that I belive the sin is in leaders being conscious of these flaws and exploiting them and or acting as if they don\'t exist.

Capitalism is king.

aww, man, i take benefit from the lowest common denominator. But as long as i can figure out what to do, or at least be taught by someone that knows what they are doing, i\'ll be fine.

I played RS sadly for a long time, way longer than anyone should play that game... I breifly played EQ, but now i mostly play non mmorpgs, Tribes, Mafia, and GTA 3 and Simcity 3000 won\'t work on my comp.

1) What is freedom?

The ability to do anything you want/need to do.

2a) Is there any limit on how free you can be?

Sure, you can jump 15 feet high (on earth) even if you want to.  

2b) Do you think it is possible to remove all your freedom?

Yes, but not likely, You\'d have to be in an elaborate restraint system to where you can\'t do anything you want.

3) Do you think that it is possible to have too much freedom?

Sure, Anarcy is Total freedom, Anarchy is also one of the stupidest ideas, ever.

I dunno what i was smoking, here\'s what i should have written:

No, like i said you won\'t be able to defy gravity (in the year 2003), but Anarchy is Total freedom allowing to do anything we are able to, Anarchy is also one of the stupidest ideas, ever.  Anarchy wouldn\'t work,  Say we made Rhode Island (Texans Like to rag on it cause its small, while we boast about how big we are) an Anarchy, People would flock there to do illegal stuff, Then Theoretical Person A would kill Theotical Person B for his stash of drugs/whatever.  People would merely kill and steal what they needed until nothing was left and eventually in a base case-scenario a few waring organized Gangs would take control and protect people from other Gangs/Muggers/People bent on Random Violence in exchange for work or something.  Somewhere should let the people that want anarchy for a little while so they can see how much it would suck.

In honor of link i wil rate this post a 5

Yeah that is a bit ridiculous, Why fight for more freedom for Iraqis if We ourselves won\'t allow a simple anti-war shirt in our malls?  I also think you mean \"Give PEACE a chance\"

\"How many Iraqis per gallon\"
\"Somwhere in Texas a village is missing an idiot\"

again, Post by Venge.

b) It has been said that Bush is only doing this for the money, or because he wants to control the oil over there. This is really the opposite of the truth. The USA only gets 17% of its oil from ANY Arab country, and 0% from Iraq. The countries who get oil from Iraq, and who have the most economic ties to Iraq at this point, are who? France, Germany and Russia--the exact three countries who oppose this war the most. THEY are the ones who care only about money and not about morality or the safety of the western world.
