@lordthawkeye Or do you believe that the police and authority will disappear because you don't believe in them?

[GravemindZombie]

@lordthawkeye I should probably also say that you don't have much room to call me retarded when you are telling people not to bother fighting a bill that will probably get you arrested. Don't get the idea that you're safe from it because you live in canada, I promise you they WILL turn you over to US authorities and they will arrest you solely for using WoW as a background as most other western countries will comply.

@lordthawkeye Then tell me how you plan to solve the violence?

[GravemindZombie]

@lordthawkeye Because we need to "Purge" the corruption rather then dismantling the government. It doesn't need to grow bigger or shrink. It just needs to be free of debt so that corprate will no longer be able to own it through campaign donations and lobbying along with creating limits on just how much corporate can give. What I'm arguing is that corporate is the real enemy, not the government.

@GravemindZombie "The governments are so corrupt because there's no government to protect the people from the corrupt government"

*facepalm*

Not to mention, are you arguing that the problem is the US government just isn't quite big enough yet? Seriously?

Keep this up. I'm genuinely curious to see how retarded your comments can truly get.

@GravemindZombie I said nothing of the sort liar.

@Lodatzor "Politicians are not the source."

Oh no? Then answer me this. If politicians simply said to lobbyists, "Sorry, there is no constitutional authority for us to do that, please be on your way," would ANY of this come to pass?

No? Then there you go. They are the source. End of story. Please stop making excuses for them, you only encourage them.

Free markets are where the government does not meddle so you contradicted yourself with that statement.

@lordthawkeye

Politicians are not the source.

You're right in that the problem is money; it's just not the money you're talking about. The amount of taxpayer dollars that would be spent on SOPA is insignificant compared to the profits that the entertainment industry seeks to make with this bill, which they have lobbied to make sure it happens.

Their golden parachute is provided by the private sector, not the public.

@GravemindZombie

Certainly not if we attempt to retain 'property rights' without an arbiter like the government to actually validate this notion. ;)
