I'm 12 years old and completely agree with this!

I love your repeated use of the word, "Goddamn." You should do that more often.

@saldownik Well, I don't consider all imprisonment to be the same as kidnapping. And the death penalty is clearly a violation of the Constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment. The language I am using would have to be the language of the Constitution. It is the way our predecessors hoped to establish a society that would be free and fair. Taxes pay for more than welfare. They pay for defense, they pay for law enforcement, and day-to-day facillitation of gov't.

@lazerbeam134 Perhaps i overinterpreted your statements, perhaps not, i found your word similar to words of other people I've met, hence my extrapolation. I didn't equate taxes and genocide and i only implied (maybe sloppily) that you would consider death penalty nonviolent if performed by the state, just like kidnapping of a person that don't pay for welfare programs. Cambodia was just concrete example. Anyway, you are probably right that we lack a common language to express some crucial ideas.

@lazerbeam134 established a democratic gov't for*

[lazerbeam134]

@saldownik Having to pay a tax isn't the same as genocide. In fact, the intent in each case is very different. I never said any genocide is nonviolent, the implication that I did is dishonest.When I pay taxes I expect that money to provide for welfare programs, defense, and the business of state. Necessary things that we established a democratic government. When I feel that my tax money is used for the wrong reasons I have the right to demand accountability.

@lazerbeam134 And what happens when you decide that you don't want to be kidnapped? How do they make you go to prison? Why would you ever willingly go to prison for not supporting a murderous government? Because they have guns that are are not afraid (actually they feel morally justified) to use

[saldownik]

@lazerbeam134 You are right, there are communication problems between us, they are probably unsolvable through this comments. I sincerely don't see how one can name killing of a person during Cambodian genocide nonviolent, just because this man was tried by government appointed people beforehand. Your language, while different than mine, isn't uncommon, some people i've met also said that they "wouldn't see any violence2 there, it was the government that did it".

[lazerbeam134]

@saldownik Not really the same thing. For tax evasion, you get a trial. You get a sentence that most likely involves imprisonment or fines equal to the amount you owe. A bully who takes your lunch money will physically harm you, and you won't be able to fight it in any court.

[lazerbeam134]

@Selecsosi135 At most I would go to prison for tax evasion. No one is going to murder me for tax evasion. That is my point.
