[quote][b]Camnator[/b]: You changed your name to "You're?" Weird, at least you admit you are an idiot, though. And no, having principle and defending liberties is not an indication of idiocy, blind compliance, however...[/quote] How quick you are to call him blindly compliant and then completely ignore the inverse of that statement: blind compliance is not good, but neither is blind [i]deviance[/I]. There is a difference between standing up for your liberties and being macho to the point of suicidal idiocy under the [I]guise[/I] of standing up for your liberties. I don't even think you realize that's what's happening, you're too stuck in your own bubble of circular logic you can't see out of it. If you shoot a police officer because he raided your home without a warrant, his partner has the right to kill you in self defense. Or even the SWAT team if it comes to that. And what then have you achieved? Nothing, except being dead, all for some self-delusional false "statement" about defending your "rights" when really all that caused this was a gross misunderstanding. You're dead, and no one will remember you, no one will care you're dead, your ego driven self-righteous crusade, your delusional war that you've convinced yourself your waging against the government, to prove a false point falls on no ears at all, and you wash away in the annals of history as just another nutcase statistic with no name. The stupidity of a knee-jerk reaction such as shooting a cop for breaking and entering is on such a level that they give an award for people with comparable lines of thinking. They're called the Darwin Awards, and all those people are dead too. Honestly, I'm trying my damndest to not think of you as an idiot, I [I]want[/I] to believe you're smarter than you let on, but seriously, when your reaction is shoot first and ask questions never, rather than living to fight another day and having your day in court, defending your freedoms by using the tools at your disposal? I find it harder and harder to take you seriously. You don't want to fight for your liberties, you want to fight [I]period[/I] and you've constructed this delusion that the government is evil and trying to take over the world and ruin your life just so you can satisfy your own ridiculous macho tough guy fantasy of fighting the power and sticking it to the man, [I]man,[/I] and you're willing to [I]die[/I] for such an inconsequential reason as a misunderstanding? I get it, the government is imperfect and it's run by normal people who don't seem to know what they're doing half the time, but incompetence does not equate to deliberate evil. The only people who need to "wake up" here are the people who buy into this crap.
