4. Not necessarily
bushatic* (bush is a lunatic) and his cronies want America to be a dictatorship.

Why should bushatic* stop with America. He and his corporate buds will not stop until they control the world. Globalization is just a start...

Eventually, the civilized world is going to retaliate against us for going too far; I'm amazed they haven't already. And not a missile or terror attack need to be launched either... :scared:

I made a post in GD trying to tell everybody how easily the US, so-called "superpower", can be wiped out - certainly not supporting the concepts, but saying how the world might just react if bushatic* and co keep heading down the path they're in. And it's damn frightning, too. Especially if I'm right. And some people in some countries already started to boycott us...

Pity nobody responded because I was curious how other people felt on the issue. :cry:

2. That depends entirely
on what you personally intend to do when Tommy Franks takes over.

5. The citizens of the US are too busy watching Jerry Springer to care about

their country.

And they're too afraid; which is the condition that bushatic* wants them to be in.

I'm afraid too, but not of the foreign terrorists. The domestic ones in power frighten me more. What they've said, even before Dec 12, 2000 and up until now - oh, they scare me big time.

Edit: corrected spelling

6. If you're totally absorbed in yourself, then it might not be worth living.
However, Americans have been shitting on our own children for a long time, and it would be nice if people who are planning on committing suicide did something noble for a change and stuck around to fight the good fight. There are literally millions of children trapped in derelict public schools right now, exploited by Republicans, Democrats, Bill Gates, the National Education Association and the corporate colossus. People who are going to abandon them one final time really don't deserve to live, in my opinion. Of course, every individual's situation is a little different, but, collectively, Americans really do have a lot to answer for.

9. We already have one - the sheeple just haven't noticed...
...because they don't oppose anything the Resident does. And I think it is a very big deal to live and to help those who are getting trampled by this mess - discarded people, discarded animals, lives shattered by poverty and hunger, people who are the victims of Bush's minions and their hate machine, etc. As long as you are better off than one other person, you are in a position to share. And that makes life worth living, the way I look at it.

10. as Hawkwind says: "VALHALLA---I AM COMMING!!!"
Time to pull up that warrior spirit and at least die fighting! That's what our ancestors did, we will do it as well.

15. Surrender to the state is death. Resistance is living.
Most of all, we must protect the constitution. We cannot resort to violence for that is their game.

Look at what Saddam's army did. They did not put up a big resistance for they knew they couldn't win that way. The sucked us into the cities where they are picking us off one by one. They did not play the game by our rules.

Ghandi brought the mightiest nation down by not playing the empire's game.

Going outside the law would be playing Bush's game.

Fascism is rigid, we must be flexible.

18. Take 4 pairs of boots.
You'll need the other 2 for the return trip after you're turned back.

Look, I understand not wanting to risk getting sent to Calico Johnnie's camps, but you're gonna have to go SOUTH.

Canada signed a treaty with the chimp by which they have to send back everyone trying to come across the border. The PNACers made him do it for when the Draft goes in next year.

And in their typical thorough PNAC style, they forgot about Mexico....It's warmer down there, too. No skilled-trades quotas, either....

19. When is life not worth living?
Why wouldnt life be worth living?

So if you answered no, does that mean that you would kill yourself if there was a police state?

If there were a police state life would still be worth living because it would be worth it to fight against it.
