  1. What are you exactly asking here?


  2. A society of dictatorship

  3. demand your President that! don't ask! Demand GW to perform his job. He is a bureaucratic public server.

  4. A very gullible one.Would you really feel safe?

    To think you could let the government run your life to that extreme is crazy.

    personally I'd rather be free and run the risk of death....cos thats the only sure bet in life,not that I'm crazy about death either but you get that  :)

  5. Apocalyptic

  6. We aren't. And you can't.

    There is a solid argument to be made that people should  not be prevented from experiencing the results of their actions. How else do we learn?

    And to answer your question..........we end up with a nanny state.

    And that means the state decides everything for you.

    Do you really want that??

    Think it through. The Founding Fathers elected to go it alone and accept responsibility for their actions. Why would you not want to emulate them?

    Best wishes,

    Gina.

  7. One of peace.

  8. protection for human right

  9. But are we asking them to protect us from all harm?    I feel like we are asking them to help enforce a level playing field, and they are trying to tell me how to run my life.

    The SEC is in place to see we have an orderly market place and it is not  gamed by a few players.

    The Gov't is trying to tell us what God we can worship and what we can do in our bedrooms.

  10. One in which no individual takes any responsibility for anything they do.

    We have made a lot of progress toward that goal in the last 60 years.

    ***

  11. I believe the technical term is "communitarian."

    Effectively, communitarians believe that responsibility to society comes first, so things like the ones you listed should be outlawed, because it makes more people in society happy.

  12. if we ask that. they will prolly put cameras inside ur house, in ur bathrooms, in ur bedrooms while u sleep. u say its an invasion of privacy. they say "u want to safe dont you?"

    plus it is impossible for anyone to protect us from all harm.

    as for the society part... i dont want to be a commie

  13. We have a great government they do protect us from all harm as they can it is the people within that makes it seam we have created mixed up society

  14. A good and caring society. Or we can have the one with the most money and most ammo decide whats best

  15. watch V for Vendetta, it will show you...

    when a govt starts protecting me from myself, there is a problem

  16. Like ' I was born and raised by the dead Mummy as Son of a rude dead Mummy" in kicking the butts of God.

    Being taught that "I was an ape-man"

    While " My father was the rude dead Mummy"

    Luke 9.60

    Until all " The young one" expose "The elders were rude! Children misbehave with self prides, self rudeness and self discrimination as people of different races of self racism with self lack of knowledge" in doing things at own whims and fancy in kicking the butts of God.

    Luke 9.55-56

    Getting kick on the butts as casualty of the dead Mummy of failures and horrors of the past in not worshiping God in climbing up the coconut trees and still look green with lost sense of direction and purpose of life in kicking the butts of God.

    Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49

    Cheering the cheap-skate glory of idol worshiping the dead Mummy of failures and horrors of the past as success in climbing up the coconut trees without being aware of the mess created in own backyards.

    Luke 8.10,17

    How embarassing all my little ones were climbing up the coconut trees and still look green being created to be cave-men.

    When we raised them up.

    What do you think?

  17. A peaceful society.

  18. The society which we already live in

    and have lived in

  19. Seems to be a lack of information here...hmmm, possibly a trick question?

    We = Americans

    All harm =  war/peace, medical, criminal,...etc, etc.

    Speaking as of today's terms and conditions...

    I think "we" are attempting to maintain a democratic society that is guided by humans doing their best to provide us with peaceful, healthy, and prosperous lives with the least amount of criminal element.

  20. A tyranny.  It would not matter what vestiges of representation are in it.  Any government that protects all from harm, will have to curtail the liberty and freedoms of some or all, and that is tyranny.

  21. A terrible one. The government can not do it. It is the government responsibility to protect us. However, we can not give up our civil liberties.

  22. Good question.  But are you talking about internal or external threats?

    In the US, we operate under an umbrella of freedom created by our investment in the greatest military the world has ever known.

  23. democratic goverment  by the people for the people to the people
