System of Government poll

interesting choices, but has there ever been a government that was exactly what they say they were/are?

 

i have serious with serverly liberal people. no offense i just cant stand the politically correct, tree hugging mentality.

 

the very term 'political correctness' brings up interesting thoughts.

ultimately the only people that can decide what's correct in any sense is any single person and only when concerning themself; some would say god decides our fates by 'telling' us what we should do (the bible, qaran, or any particular holy book) and that doing anything else is deviating from some great plan, but there are and always will be those who don't believe in god so that system of 'correctedness' (dunno if that's a word...) is useless. We as humans naturally pick leaders which in an evolutionary sense makes sense because if you concentrate all of the decisions in one place you can react faster with a tolerable level of success, but in all of our current systems it's far too possible for those unsuited for leadership to take control. But you can't just ignore the human urge to fall in, nor can you completely stifle the human need to be free, both of which are more prominant in some than others. Thus is the beautiful contradiction of intelligent life. As much as I want to control my life (and I certainly try) I still feel helplessly alone sometimes in both a social sense and in the way I think. We can't progress without our natural but flawed heirarchy but neither can we learn anything without the few that are willing to be different. Because of this we have an ongoing pattern (perhaps cycle) of two steps forward and one step back. Without the need to change nothing happens and what creates that need is the very thing that's happening in this world today. People are in power that aren't working for the rest of us but for themselves throughout most of the world. When there's no immediate need for change someone steps up to create a percieved need for change so that they can get what they want, thereby inadvertantly perpetuating the cycle and causing a real need for change. There will always be rulers and there will always be rebels and the rebels are usually right in some sense.

 

I voted for idealogical anarchy....and yes I am upset about the showing of rules....I'm gonna obey them, but I felt it was being thrown in our face kinda....I just love this place more than my opinions, if you understand what I mean

 

idealogical... ie. in a perfect world
the city should buy an island and all go live there in one

 

sounds like a good idea- but your cousin would get thrown off for farting in the direction of the mods.

 

I don't think the mods would throw anybody anywhere for farting...

The rules were posted so that the newbies to the board would read..

The moderators get tired of spending countless hours of deleting and editing post because the newer members post things that should not be posted.

The older members should already know what is and isn't tollerated..

We had less spam on the boards and less post of BS.

But to satisfy a few 10 out of 6500 members who found it offensive, I have moved the thread out of your view..

this doesn't mean that the boards won't be moderated by the rules.. Just that us moderators will have to spend more time moderatin and less time helping people..

 

*walks a fine line*

I just wanna say that I never planned on going against the rules and thought (think) that they are unnecessarry but certainly not offensive. Chill out Switch. i keep saying that no one forced Digit to leave but Digit.

 

Is this still going on? At least y'all being civil and not stomping off mad. Go ahead argue it out. I love listening to point-counterpoint exchanges. I'll be sitting here with scorecards judging your responses. Why? Because I found some scorecards, and the family is tired of being scored on everything they do, and so is the cat, (6.7 for sleeping in sun! She just was'nt selling it!)


The rulez. I read them too, and thought, hmmmmm, I've been breaking the law. I was even a cop at the time! Frankly, I knew they was gonna set somebody off. And Digit, my man, you were on top of that list! Switch and Krazi, you were up there too! But if the rules had'nt come along and stirred things up, something else would have. It was just time. Get this many folks together, the electromagnetic balance gets tossed back and forth, resulting in lightning. Or something like that.

But ya know, if you have a real problem with rules, there's this place called Yahooka, and you can go express yourself there, and get, "Fuck off and die" "Go ride a bike without a seat" "Fag" type responses. Firm believers in the freedom of speech thing there. Don't want to think about the responsibility that comes along with that right, though.


Y'all know that the mods here are a layed back bunch. They are not a bunch of powertripping egos. Just trying to the City a nice place to come.


Now, I'm going to get my scorecards. Who's first?


EDIT: BTW, I voted republic.

 

I'm just gonna stop talking about this. All I've ever wanted to do was get Digit back not just because I want him around but because I don't want this to happen here. If you wanna judge an argument go over to the it's war thread and judge that, I'd like to know how I'm fairing in a battle that matters to me. This is just a useless argument (if there is one anymore) about a fuzzy issue.

 

EDIT: Nevermind

 

I was gonna say that the US is technically a republic even tho we claim to be a democracy. I like idealogical anarchy, but it wouldn't work in a real life situation. It's like communism in that it works on paper, but human nature totally ruins it for everyone. I hate the idea of rules and laws that I must follow even, but I try to be a good person. I'm an honest human being who has never killed, raped, beared false witness. If only anarchy could work the way it does theory.
