  • Be careful, what if the person who follows your advice and buys a gun becomes an anomie themselves?

  • Boy You Love Yourself some Blue Ray Dvds..lol... Thanks For the Help!! This video was great!!

  • I'm in a state of anomie. I follow certain rules, but not others. I don't bother anyone and never start any trouble. But if trouble comes to me, then I may go all out. For example, if someone threatens me, I may kill them. Some people may think that's wrong, but why? I never bothered anyone. If some hoodlum comes to me and disrespects and threaten me, I would probably kill them and make it look like self-defense. Many times the law seems to favor the perpetrator and not the defendant.

  • good video dude

  • you maybe right but, I am going non-violent sothe police don't have a reason to.

  • you maybe right ut, I am going non-violent sothe police don't have a reason to.

  • i really appreciate the concepts you talk about, however, I do not think guns are necessary.. The global shift in attitudes towards the social order may very well be a result of dissatisfaction.. & I don't blame people. The system has long been a control method in disguise.. Many things do not make sense, and the normlessness people feel may bring about change.. Maybe more equality will result. Anticipating the results is impossible obviously, but we can only hope!

  • @ExploratorCanis It doesn't have to get to the point of falling into communism, you can still have a system where the worker receives a greater percentage of the profits garnered from exploiting their labour, while the bourgeoisie make a more modest profit. The difference we have at the moment is plain simple greed, where exploiting labour and dehumanising people as a cost is almost a business strategy, rather than success being reliant on inventive and progressive ideas and products.

  • More seriously, I seen anarchy. I worked in Congo, Botswana, Rhodesia, Angola, Swaz, Mexico, Guana and SA.

    Difference between unprepared and prepared is only the method you get killed by or survive by. Unprepared got murdered by spear and machete, prepared often got to live long enough to leave and live. Many prepared died standing, not like dogs begging .

    "Nemo me impune lacessit" - No one attacks me with impunity.

    "Lacessit Nemo me na kutokujali" Fuck ZANU !

  • @daocdrav There already is a minimum socialistic wage law for every state. More regulation has been tried and failed-Communism.
