Greetings Sun6Tzu

let me ask u something Sun6Tzu... do u like lil kim? cause i got a new record with her called "Raincheck" and i know u like new music so let me know what u think!

I assume you meant to call me an infidel, you moron? Your comment on my page should show you, and everyone else, how pathetic you and those that follow Islam really are. Making threats, or jokes of murder in the name of a fake god in an evil religion.

I would maybe say "they are trying to maintain a monopoly on violence" but "by following up with more violence" -- i would maybe say "they are the biggest gang of thugs and commit most of the violence," but "others commit violence as well" -- and " the government just enacts more violence upon them after the fact previous violence had already happened" -- so they simply use more force, and claim it's a monopoly, claim theyre the ones "allowed" to do it when obviously someone else already did it,.........

I'm not saying it IS a moral issue (the way you imply). I'm saying that they could never even HOPE to "control society" through a so-called "monopoly" on violence. .. and that they have NO monopoly on violence, they just claim they do. Their "monopoly on violence" is just another part of the "cycle" of violence... they simply CLAIM they are the only ones "allowed" to use "violence" against "dissenters" or whatever they say in a given situation. They have no more right to initiate force than any other individual or group of individuals. .. and the simple fact that there IS violence which is perpetrated by non-state groups and individuals proves they have NO monopoly, they just perpetuate the cycle.

"It does not matter what system is used to regulate life or society. You cannot force people to obey using fear, or violence. "
I'm not arguing that you can.

"is set up so only they have authorization"

what is authorization? authority? "murder is not authorized unless through the state" does that change the fact that people still commit murder? no does that mean murder is not authorized? no. people commit murder, and another group of people come and (maybe) locks them up, and might murder them. . it just continues the cycle.. it's not a monopoly.. it's state-speak. all there is is anarchy.

It has no monopoly. It's anarchy. they just say they do. they are no more justified in using force in such ways, or extortion, or whatever, as anyone else. they just say they are. how could a group have a monopoly of anything on a planet with 6 billion people? they just SAY they are granted "exclusive control." Their authority is a myth... it's based on nothing more than brute force. but that doesnt change the fact that it can never retain "exclusive control" of violence. it's a ridiculous statist legal term.
