No Jim,
marek's statement was not totally irresponsible, but your understanding of it was totally naive of the degree a Fourth Reich could come into existance from psychological and social problems acquired as what is viewed as normal behavior by the brainwashed populace.
re: To:marek_wojna From: J.B.C. >> Administration of Bush would love it ....<< A totally irresponsible statement. Jim
Not only did the "United States" engage in what can be described as a form of genocide towards the people they found living on the land prior to their arrivial (Native American Indians), but to this day and without any change for tomorrow, the decimation and extermination of this race that was different in life style that included a different spiritual view of life and the here after.
Lets see, my activity in Vietnam killing enemy forces engaged in their own quest to fight against me in their view as me being a foreign invader trying to kill them when they did not initiate or plan any hostile action towards me as a United States citizen or towards any location inside the United States, you feel was done as a valid activity because it was declared legal once the United States government created a piece of paper like its fiat currency without any value backing like gold, but here the paper said "war" and demanded of me to go and kill those people in Vietnam that resisted my arrivial with a gun in my hand pointed at them. Well, to me the enemy I killed or destroyed in part or spirit was akin to my government saying to me that it is legal to do this, while in fact it was murder in the eyes of humanity.
Ofcourse it matters not that the makeup of this enemy my government instructed me to battle based on their piece of fiat paper with the currency of "war" included men, women and children of both males and females.
So there I was, instructed by a law inacted by those that the populace elected into government to regulate the social structure, being able to legalize murder, and if I did not, then I go to jail. But then one simple fact is missing in all this discussion, that being if someone forces you to enter a war zone, then near all will activiate their survival instincts like animals and kill rather than be killed... (aka) no questions asked (aka) survival but... Where is the moral issue? Is it a sin to kill another human?
Myself, I always was able to use deadly force against anyone first using it against me. I'am sure that if I was lucky and obtained a marriage with the woman I met in highschool, that if I had to choose either that I die or her or any of our children, then I would select myself for death. But she died in a car crash at age 16, so that possibility never existed.
To allow a government to declare was against a nation and send its soldiers to kill and die first requires the populace to agree to this "legalized murder" of others, and the destruction of its own. That if not done places the blame on the populace, not any evil misguided leaders that control the government. Yes, those that create that fiat piece of war paper put things into action for war, but its the responsibility of the populace to monitor it.
So just like the monitor of gold, the United States populace has not monitored its fiat money(gold) nor its war.
Those like you and o49r(gold_tutor) warn others in the populace not to disagree with national policy that has already been acted in law (aka) fiat war or the act of war via a piece of paper without value or reason of facts & truth behind it.
