  1. the government knows what's right


  2. I don't think its right on any level to kill the government thinks its okay just because they tell everyone they are going to do it ....that's bull if its wrong for individuals to kill it should be wrong for EVERYONE to kill

    except in times of war then its kill or be killed.....

  3. That sir, is a good question.

    Welcome to philosophy.

  4. well the government has the means to justify their actions legally and the government is the very thing that says you personally can't kill others( the constituion and well the basic rights, etc...) Also well the government has always somewhat bent the rules slightly to fit their situations or help them accomplish their agenda.

    While normally i'd say stick it to the man and defy the government....In this case don't. Killing people won't go over so wll and besides... it's just worng for you to do or the govenrment to do.

  5. Governments are not allowed to kill people they don't like. They are allowed to protect the citizens against people that the citizens deem are a threat.

    You can do the same thing, it's called self-defense.

  6. because they are tight

  7. that is a really dumb questions that you already know the answer to.

  8. Double standard.

    If you steal an apple, you go to jail.

    If Bush steals a nation, he gets reelected [sic].

  9. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH! GOOD QUESTION!!  I don't quite know... I mean, do you think someone doesn't like you? Would you like to be killed for no reason? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

  10. well killing is wrong either way so i dont think anybody should be allowed to do it. but yea i agree with you about the whole government being able to do anything it wants cause its true, because the government is run by sick fu$%ers

  11. probably because if everybody could kill anyone they didnt like then everyone would be dead because im sure everyone has at leat a couple people who dont like them.... idk tho just a guess

  12. I dont like you

  13. A question I have asked for years.

  14. because our president is a not so nice person.. lucky I cant curse on here. And the government is full of unbelivable people .. once again keeping my cool. I think if the price of bullets went up to about 5,000 dollars per bullet then there wouldnt be as much killing in the world. It would take a c**p load of money to come up with 5G's to kill someone. That would be like.. dag on.. he must of been really mad at him for blowing 5g in his head LOL think about it!

  15. The government does not kill people they DON'T LIKE. They kill people for a reason, other than not liking them. Like for example: If the person killed 20 other people. Then they might kill that person. But you can't go around killing people you don't like, unless you would like to be killed by government, or be put into prison.

    Hope this helped!

  16. they prob. see it as kill one save many.

    but i dont think anybody should be killing anybody else.

  17. Brilliant. Just peel the skin of the people you don't like.. It's not killing but it's still revenge.

    Kidding.

    ..kind of...

  18. Because you're not in control. Your just a serf that's told what to do and when to do it.

  19. Well they don't just kill people. Like that take out the gun then shoot them in the head. They can't do that. They have to pass many courts and judge for the right things first before they can do that. They can kill people immediately if those people attacked them first. That's called personal defense but not over properties.

  20. because the governtment is the government they get away w/ everything because theres nothing that can happen to them

  21. actually you can kill ppl you don't like and sometimes just like the government you can get away with it. but....most ppl and governments who kill for emotional reasons pay dearly for it one way or another.

  22. The reason is that the government can hide behind the national security act and other forms of documentation.Plus, if you killed someone you didn't like you would go to jail or you could claim self-defense, that is if the other person hit you first,though.Then,again there are laws we have to follow.

  23. it's a ironic fact of life...Don't follow what I do, just what I say mentallity
