If it is the right thing to do then it is your obligation to do so.


America, the free country, filled with obligations.

Fu[SIZE="2"]ck[/SIZE] sacrifice, it doesn't make a damn sense.

What if you kill yourself to save ten people, who feel so guilty because they made you kill yourself, that they kill themselves?

I live with 2 rules, regarding live:

1) If you have a chance to live, live.

2) If you can save a live, do so when the first rule applies too.

Where the **** did the whole "free country" idea come from? It's a logical contradiction. There is no way whatsoever that a country can ever be entirely free because for any society to be able to function there must be rules. Countries have laws. You have an obligation to obey them. Socrates explained why from a moral point of view, but I'm just going to point out the "obey or die" aspect.

Example from the book "Irrationality":

If there is a fire in a theatre and everybody behaves in an orderly manner then the maximum number of people will survive. Unfortunately, those farthest from the exits will perish. If everyone panics then nearly everyone dies because of the confusion and crushing. If most people remain calm, but a few panic and trample others as they run for the exits, then those that panic will survive, and some of those that remain calm will survive, but more will die than if all had remained calm.

What would you do if you were in a theatre and someone shouted "fire"?

I would lock the theater doors with chains, and scream allah akbar, or something similar.

Saying we are a republic with liberties takes so much longer to say we are a free country.

all cops are dicks. i don't blame them for becoming dicks, though. you give a man a gun and authority and suddenly he's invincible. in short, **** the police and all who support them.

In my experience with the police, It's mostly dependent on the type of person as opposed to the fact he/she is in the police. I've spoken and joked around with some officers while other walked straight up and had me searched for no good reason. On one such occasion I made an attempt to stop him going into my pocket with my iPod, keys etc in it and was kindly grabbed and thrown to the ground. No arrest or anything but a less amusing search with less gay jokes involved. Which brings me to my next point, even the ones who do search people without reason are fair about it and will laugh if you joke about while they are searching except the odd few. In other words, they know they are dealing with kids and act accordingly.

We have city wardens as-well who's job is basically to come out and speak to us on friday nights etc and find out anything thats going on or get filled in on events they missed. As odd as this sounds, thats more or less what they seam to do. These people have no real power in terms of being allowed to make arrests etc and appear to be aware of that.

In Scotland, most likely the rest of the UK as-well, the police aren't armed unless they have been called to deal with an armed person or group so we don't have to deal with them using 'weapons' inappropriately or anything since they don't have any.

Sounds like you are pretty ignorant and ungrateful of all the protection that they do do. Understand that the number of officers who abuse their power is extremely small when compared to the number of officers who act within their power. You should be thankful of everything the police do for you, they have one of the most unrewarding jobs you can get. Understand that these people put their lives on the line every day.

I'm no anarchist. And not 14.

I didn't even agree with Nodd, dumbass.

I actually support the police, just not those of your country, if you live in the USA.
