    Good thing this is hypothetical and ignores that I’d have to kill or at least seriously maim him if I expect to live….

    Yeah, elementary school.

    And what the very first thing you learn after you get to elementary school? - "Children, repeat after me..."

    Well I seen it, and I don't want us to repeat it.

    I really don't know what you mean. I'm hearing a lot of scary buzzwords and not too much reasoning. Are you saying if you are not a sociopath you need government? Okay- why?

    Not at all what I’m saying in this incredibly bizarre hypothetical scenario you’ve made up.

    The absence of government is bizarre, but it is certainly not "made up".

    You offered an a answer without any reasoning. Can you show your work? Thanks.

    I would think “because neither of us are sociopaths” is pretty self explanatory, but I’m not interested in showing my work to you with these incredibly stupid takes and hypotheticals you’ve made.

    If neither of us are sociopaths I would think we should be able to get along just fine without government. You got it exactly backwards.

    Tell you what - why don’t you go live in a country like Somalia for a while and then ask that question again?

    Stupid huh?

    Is it as stupid as asserting that scociopaths don't need a government but normal people like you and me do need a government?

    Okay... If you say so. But I wouldn't go spreading that around if I were you. Your secret is safe with me. :)

    So says someone who has never really looked at other countries - oooops! No wait? Could it be that those countries with the high murder rates are just because THEIR skin colour is not an acceptable shade of pallid? Hope not.

    Do these countries have no government? If not they are irrelevant.

    Race has nothing to do with government. I think you might be trying to derail this thread because you cannot accept that your elementary school teacher lied to you about anarchy. Just because there are no rulers does not mean that there are no rules. Rules like "don't steal". Governments break that rule frequently. It is a major part of any government's business model to take what does not belong to them and often to spend the money on everything but the persons it was taken from.

    @MelshieMaze ,

    Accepting government is the admission that you need somebody else to to take care of your resposibilties. It's an admission that you cannot advocate for your own self.

    Government is something to be ashamed of. And you all act as if even your very next breath is dependent on the king.

    So let me ask you- What did your government do for you today that you couldn't?
