(September 10, 2011 at 8:06 am)ElDinero Wrote: I don't think it is. You're pretty fucked up, really. So you've now added to your repertoire of 'not caring if innocent people get executed' with the hit follow up 'excusing your friends from committing crimes on the basis that they are your friends'.

How is that fucked up? I am an anarchist: I do not recognize crimes as you do. If a friend of mine committed a crime (as I hold them): they are likely no longer my friend. And they certainly are hearing my backlash for the action, also providing an explanation immediately. If there is any solid reasoning for what they did, or if they own up to their mistake: we can continue as friends. If not... I might well terminate them myself.

Simply: whatever the state has them imprisoned for, I do not care. If I am their friend: I am getting them out if possible. Friendship is valuable indeed to me... and I've not many instances of it.

Quote:Don't see how there can be much argument with my dichotomy. If you think there is, provide your alternative.

Alternative: What the fuck does the law's "crimes" matter to me?

We have anonymous informant hotlines that operate 24/7, phones ringing off the hooks. "Implicate your neighbor" is by far more common than "excuse your friend".

Indeed: I am not America. I don't even consider myself 'American'. I just live here right now and am willing to abuse everything citizenship allows me to abuse Tongue

Anonymous hotlines annoy me... whether they be in Stalin's Russia or in <insert figurehead>'s America.

Certainly... I am far more morally secure in my position of willingness to save a friend from 'the system' Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
