I more or less agree - you can't expect to attack the government (outside of opinions) and not expect them to attack you back.
But, just to make a point and going off into a tangent, since your friends are (were?) anarchists, there really aren't ways to overthrow the government allowed for in the Constitution. On second thought, there could be an Anarchist party who would amend the Constitution to exist, but that really isn't a realistic thing. That also conflicts with the idea that government becomes corrupt.
I also disagree with my friends on smoking, it's pretty dumb. That was also a pretty unfair attack on punks There are plenty of idiots in punk, but that's true anywhere. Where did you get anything about him being one? (I have a feeling you're going to show me and make me feel really dumb though) He just seems like an activist to me.
Even if you slowed down time, that is, made an hour "longer" (man, that's confusing... how would we know?), we would still be traveling the same miles per hour...
Well, the average Joe assumes this is something generally wrong with "computers". Any solutions are too difficult, anyways. Most people really do crash Windows; it isn't hard.

yeah, like the editors will do that.
They've already bitchslapped everything down to -1.
You see; you show exactly what the quote is about. Simply saying something about the shitty conditions for some quickly earns the mark of "Communist". It was you, not I, who said anything about pointing guns. If you can't even earn enough to eat while working all day, that's pretty fucked up. And no, I am neither a Socialist or Communist. The sig should have made that apparent.
...The United States government does consider its trade and communications part of its sovereignty. ... This shows what you get when people who honestly believe that corporations directly run the United States government go off the deep end.
Really? Why, then, did the CIA: overthrow the Iranian democracy and replace it with the shah when the president proposed to nationalize oil (1953)? overthrow the Guatamalan democracy when the leader nationalized the United Fruit Company's holdings? assinate Rafael Trujillo, the previously supported dictator of the Dominican Republic when his business interfered with American business? kill George Papandreous, who refused to bow down to American companies?
assassinate Salvator Allende, democratically elected, and replace him with Pinochet? and don't give me that bullshit about defending democracy; most of these countries WERE democracies before the CIA got in there; and those who replaced the old governments were much worse than those they replaced in terms of running a police state.
Why do we endorse the IMF and WTO, which, in exchange for much-needed economic aid, undermine democracy to replace it with wishes of the largest companies and richest people in America?

True that a pacifist revolution would be difficult, but a revolutionary Civil War would be just as difficult. Guns are required to be registered; they will know where to go to get them. The military has weapons of far more sophistication that the common people can ever have.
Just look at Blackhawk Down: 100 very well-trained troops armed with helicopters, M-60s, jeep-based.50 caliber machine guns and M-249s mowed down about 8,000 Somalis with old AK-47s and has virtually no training or organization. The old solution of simply arming the population can no longer be effective. Actually, it may very well work in other countries, but it looks bleak in the United States. The military is simply too good to be defeated in combat by its own people.

I hate to tel you this, but that's past tense. You might want to go to school every once in a while so you don't look like such an idiot.
that's not what I was asking, or at least meant to ask... sorry if it was badly worded. Do you support the overthrow of Communism?
How would anarchists install a corrupt leader? Being anarchists, they would install no leader.
Why do you think the Constitution forbids cruel or unusual punishment?
I doubt that you'd feel the same way if you lived in the Soviet Union (replacing "democracy" with "communism").

I agree completely, but towns had cannons? Want to provide documentation? That would be really interesting.
If they could read my mind, the computer would be the last thing I would be worried about.
that's what that poster implied... of course you'd have to accelerate to that speed! Do you expect it to be easy?

Since when does China have 3 billion people?
Yeah, I know it's a joke, but didn't they have about 500,000?
Score!
I get a Kudos!
But I don't think you're as alone as you think.
It's funny how it's an actual punk in the picture.

Just to clarify, most of those were not in contact with Moscow.
