Topic: Time for anarchy ? Posted: 12-Oct-2007 at 23:42 |

Great, so we just need to smuggle some angry drugs into rice fields... and all's according to plan...

If it's anarchy, there won't be any leaders. That's rather the point.
This is like French Revolution to me... and I most definitely do not want Chinese Napoleon to take over. |

The only service anarchy may provide is to act like a wild fire to burn away a corrupt society, and it would have to be VERY corrupt for it to be beneficial.

So you are not advocating anarchy, but dictatorship by people you agree with?

only huge amounts of blood letting in the short term as without the rule of law, force rules and as such anarchy can not last but will be replaced by Warlords (as force rules and eventually someone would be powerful enough to act as a government) who will establish "order" by force.

Totally agree! The dysgenic administrative, social and business super-structures that we have build today help keep the ever more corrupt and wealthy people in high positions. These systems must be destroyed and burned to the ground but the end result of it and what the revolutionaries wish to achieve must be carefully planned and coordinated in advance, or else it will breed something worse that what we already have.
Honestly though, it has reached such a point that to watch it crumble(from a safe distance) is just a matter of time rather than doubting its occurrence. Burn baby burn!

Actually, the way it developed it doesn't seem to have much to do with social sciences, either.
Interesting though nuvolari's gastronomic tastes may be.

THEY WON'T LET US DRINK ON THE JOB?!?! ANARCHY!!! ANARCHY!!!!! ANARCHY!!!!
I think you need to take this up with your boss, not the government. But, I'm pretty sure hes gonna say "I want sober, and productive people working for me."
Anyway. What country are you speaking of? The UK? China?
If its china, revolution is needed. UK? Not quite there yet.

Tell me about it ! But I don't suffer hardship gladly, if at all !
When on those rare occassions I still attend a Board Meeting, I make sure that the Senior Partner's secretary stocks the board room liquor cabinet with booze a'plenty ! We'll start with an 80 year od Macallan as a sharpener ( although latterly I have found that a fine cuvee Champagne suits my temperament a smidge better ),and then crack open a few bottles of a very fine claret. We'll have a bite of lunch ( cold pheasant goes very well with a good claret ), cold truffles on hot toast does very well next, and I might finish on some lightly boiled plovers egg chopped up in mayonnaise ( I recomend a nicely chilled white Burgundy, or even a Pouilly Fumee, with that ). If I wish for a dessert, I am always very fond of raspberries freshly picked no longer than 12-14 hours beforehand. I always find that a good Hungarian Tokay makes a cracking good dessert wine.Some people might have a glass of Cointreau lightly drizzled over their raspberries, but I say, What the Hell ! and drown the buggers in Benedictine (such decadence ! ). A fine Montecristo and a Napoleon brandy( at least 40 years old ! ) will do to end the proceedings nicely, although if I can find a suitable secretary who is up for it, I always like to close the days business with a good shag in the Director's flat upstairs.
Ideally, if I remember to sign a few letters and vote on the board meeting, I can then claim my director's board meeting expenses of 500 smackers per diem.
I tell you, all this hard work will be the death of me !

Probably because you are too pissed to tell the difference ! Mind you, I may be wrong - when I was in Dublin last Autumn, I was the only person drinking Guinness and everybody else in the pub was drinking tonic or water or OJ.
Admittedly there were one or two hardened drinkers standing outside in the pouring rain with the water lapping over their boots ( those of them that could afford shoes, that is ), but even they were spending more time keeping their fags dry than getting booze down their necks ! When I went and asked the barmaid as to why so little good, honest alcohol was being consumed, she told me that most people worked for American firms nowadays and their bosses smell their breaths upon their return to work. Bejasus, it's a sad state of bloody affairs when a Irishman is put off his drink by nothing more than the threat of being fired !
