No, never. I think I should just copy this to my clipboard because of the number of times I've to type this: "The ephemeral chatter of politics and national egoism is beneath one."
Poll: Would you die for your country?
- Thread starter Rasputin1
- Start date
if the U.S.A. ever got into another clear cut (in my mind anyway) war like WWII I would join up and die willingly, also if the government ever instituted the draft I would join before i was drafted and serve willingly. But right now with the war in Iraq, i am very conflicted about joining the military.
No. I would not fight at all, although I might become a martyr through other means, but not for the country. The country can suck my ass for all I care, but I would die to save everyone who lived there.
Socialism is almost the same as communism. Tell me, you don't want to be a communist do you?2012 Wont Happen said:
OT: Yes, the freedom of my people is more important than my life.
I probably would. Knowing my self I would go out in the most rememberable way with the most class.
Give me two Lmgs 2 P90s and a shit-load of ammo, as long as I don't have to clean up the bodies, I'm fine.

I'll die for my country as long as the reason I am doing so is in defence of my family and friends.
HEEEEEEELLLL no!
i'd go to the enemies side because presumably since they attacked they're stronger.
or i'd go even farther away thinking of all the people defending their dirt.
I would be so happy with that going through my head whilst lying in a hammock in Bora bora

No. I also hate nationalism and patriotism so I'm pretty sure. Its also not like the country will ever do something for you as individual.
Holland is actually alot more acknowledged than that.henritje said:

Agreed, I might sound biased because I'm Dutch myself, but if you condemn prostitution and the drugs policy, you probably didn't put all pro's and con's together.
Pro's I can think for just the prostitution policy:
+ prostitutes have a legal contract and therefore have rights
+ The government can check on the prostitute sector against abuse and human traffic
+ Criminals can't run the entire sector
+ Prostitutes can be taxed and also don't count as unemployed
+ Additional (usually drug) addictions can be registered, controled and/or supported. Road to rehabilitation is shorter.
+ Less sexual crimes because there is the option to visit a prostitute
+ Prostitutes will group together at 1 or 2 places and will not cause burdens on the other parts of cities.
+ Free market means free market.
+ Prostitution becomes more social acceptable; No more shunning of individuals.
Screw that, why would I want to die for a country who's idea of patriotism is 'anyone who isn't fully British can fuck off'? Place is crawling with chav scum, I think it'd be better for all of us if we were invaded. I'm getting my arse to America the first chance I get.
Purely ideologically, I am a Marxist Communist. I like the Communist idea of abolition of the state. However, Communism, at least in our lifetimes, is infeasible. You could not get rid of the government before generations of social conditioning. Therefore, out of practicality, I am a Socialist.Dr. Feelgood said:
There should be a "depends" option ... I wouldn't go fight in a war that had nothing to do with my country (unless we had another Hitler ... because that would eventually spill over into every country if he's not taken care of ... a WWII scenario would be the only reason )... I would however fight if another country invaded mine no questions asked
for the ideas of freedom and happiness, yes i would, but i would not stand and fight for the government i so so dispise. when people take back the country from the fat cats and greed, then we will have something worth living and in a sense die for
