Do you think we should ban the government?

This is a little off subject but reminds me of a conversation I had a few days ago. In that conversation, I was saying that I truly believe ppl alive today are living in the 'best of times'.\n\nWhy do I believe this? Because we have all the commodities of oil products such as plastic etc... making for a lot of luxury and the fact that we are not quite yet completely controlled by big brother. That day is coming sooner than ppl realize.

The government should NOT give them any services, including health care, education, etc. The government should also levy HUGE fines on people who employ them.

I believe that they are a waste of money for the government. One of the other government groups can do a better job then what they have been doing

I dont think that it should be banned, even fiction has it's own lessons we can live by. I also believe some of it was actually true. I believe dan brown says some of the book was actually none-fiction and fiction. I think what we can do is, take what we can and believe in and leave the rest behind. I believe that in everything there is a symbolic message for us to understand....

No, because those are freedoms.  But I do think that we should be issued something like a nerf bat that we can smack people with for being annoying or dumb.  It should stun them for about a minute so they realize they are annoying and stupid!

Absolutely not. That's when we NEED those freedoms the most.\n\nWe need to be able to say that "I don't like the way the administration is handling things" without fear of someone putting us in prision. \n\nI may not agree with someone else's opinions. But I'll fight to the death, to make sure they can state those opinions.

The banning of anything is tyranny. When governments have the say about what their people can and cannot do , think or not think,or limits their choices and options   it violates basic human rights.\n\nPeople should never be afraid of their governments, Governments should always be afraid of the people....Voltaire

Well obviously the government knows what is best for us.\nSo they should shut all the Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kremes and make us eat oatmeal for breakfast instead.\nAlso they should make people go to Canada to have a cigarette because smoking is bad for you.\nAnd they should turn of all the electric lights at 10PM and shut off radio and television transmissions so everyone gets enough sleep.\nThey should wake everyone in the morning and make you go outside to exercise, like they do in China.\nAnd we can do away with voting because the average voter does not know what is good for him.

I thought you meant the kind that controlled spending and were for small government and wanted to keep government out of people's business.  That would be okay.\n\nWhat you call for, honestly, frightens me.  Government should not make laws based on religion - period.  Honestly - and this is not bashing, so please don't take it that way - the type of changes you call for would make a nation I don't think I could truly support.\n\nI make my own moral decisions.  I follow the law.  I think government should be as small as possible and that includes making intimate personal decisions when it comes to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\n\nConservatives should be rugged individualists (you call for that in your welfare reform), and I think that should apply to all issues that do not directly effect the rights of other individuals.  Many of the other revolutions you call for would restrict people's rights and freedoms and I would never, EVER support such a thing in the U.S.

Yes it is and I can't stand it. I think we should all be our own country and stay out of others..mind our own business...honestly...I think someone should hit that big red button and fix all the problems in 2 seconds. Wouldn't it make the world so much better?! haha!

Absolutely not. It's the first step down a slippery slope to a total government nanny state. Obviously you are better off wearing your seatbelt. You are better off not drinking or smoking, exercising 5 times a week, eating a balanced diet, chewing 15 times before swallowing your food, looking both ways before crossing the street, and not running with scissors.\n\nThank God we haven't reached a point in this country where EVERYTHING that you SHOULD do you MUST under penalty of law. This is a free country, right?

yeah there should be no govt. at all. All criminals and animals should run wild.

I agree that you shouldnt have to if you dont want to.  But to BAN it is absurd, so if you did go and say it would you get in trouble?  People who disagree with this should stand up and say it anyways, its protected by the first amendment.

It should be banned. It amounts to intrusion into the personal freedom. An American citizen could file a constitutional petition before the Supreme Court urging it to protect his Fundamental Right of Freedom to think and decide under the Bill of Rights provisions of the American Constitution.

Absolutely. Fear of government is tyranny, government fearing the people is democracy. Somebody tell the repubs they are on the wrong course ......................

well, frankly yeah i agree that goverment should imposed curfews.. but then again, i think it is a pretty bad idea.\n\n(1) Youths do not like to be lock-up in their houses by 9 o' clock by THE GOVERNMENT.. geez, i'll break the law then!\n\n(2) Parents are responsible for their children and their children's actions. u can't blame the government on everything u know? youths live the way they are brought up.\n\n(3)The root of social ills is the lack of moral values installed in youths these days.. the government should imposed a "teach youths to do the right thing" campaign instead.\n\nthat's all i can think of rite now. if u wanna take 'em, juz edit my cynism, k? i'll post in more if i can think of more. Good luck!
