Trust me, a few million angry citizens wouldn't be a problem.

Well that is only if the people running those things didn't revolt as well, only a few people would take part in that kind of mass murder knowing it was I'm sure.

I think any revolution in the United States would turn straight in to a civil war. But that's my opinion.

But there would be not need for any revolution if the citizens of our country continue to use thier powers granted to them.

No, the kick would be provided courtesy of Chuck Norris.

It's not necessarily what I'd revolt for, timing is important, too. There are things that I'd probably revolt about now, but it would be useless to. If a movement was started around any particular rallying points that were very important to me, Freedom of Speech, the right to bear arms, basic stuff like that, then yeah, I'd revolt.


Think you're pretty clever...

Stalin never led a revolution nor was he even significant to one.

Well, if there were a revolution right now that I could have a say in, I'd join it. The unfortunate thing about revolutions, though, is that in the end you usually end up with something that doesn't work as well as it did before.

I don't need to say "if they did ___" to justify participating in a revolution, I just look at what I disagree with now. I disagree with the fact that there are laws against abortion. I disagree with the fact that weed is illegal. I disagree with the fact that we operate under republic system of representative democracy. I think that if it were feasible we should instead have everyone vote on things, not 200 dudes in a room.

So again, if there were a revolution right now, and I could have a say in the outcome, I'd join the fuck up.

For argument's sake, we'll say the government and the revolutionaries have an equal chance of winning any engagement.

I would revolt (remember now, sides are split 50/50) if
-They put prayer back in schools
-They overruled Roe V. Wade
-They gave amnesty to the illegals

When incompetents and short sighted and uncaring assholes take over and seem not to do their job nor a damn about the average voter and are uncompassionate with how much they tax people and ineffective with the taxes, I'll revolt.

Oh I remember, I was ranting about such issues a couple weeks ago and no one seemed to give a damn in helping me out.

Good luck if you want people to get up and change things.

If I was a liberal, this would be the part where I would say: "You're talking about Gitmo, right?"

He would best be far away from the BBS organizing a rebellion.

If free speech on the innernets starts getting curbed in the interest of the government or large corporations.

It's the last free frontier, but old people are starting to find out about it. Problems!

But you wouldn't be a liberal in part if you knew that prisons such at gitmo have existed for decades to place enemy combatants in an enviornment away from the US as a measure to prevent them from igniting a revolt inside the prison system or as a way to make sure the guilty never go back to killing our soldiers.

You also wouldn't be a liberal if you knew that we've released well over 450 people from Gitmo already.

Here, i couldn't think of anywhere to put a link to this artical. This is the new Gun Law that has passed in House and Senate and is on it's way to be passed by Big Brother Bush. It basically says if you have any mental illness, from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to ADHD, you can't have a gun. Now, think about this, what does every dictator do first...DISARM THE LOWLY PEASANTS. (I'm not saying Bush is the dictator, the NWO is, Bush is just their puppet)

I'll revolt if...
1. They try to take away my guns.
2. They try to take away my music.
3. They try and make taxes much worse.
4. They become any dumber.
5. They try and take away my beer.
6. They try to take away my video games.
7. They point out most of my reasons are shit reasons.

"They" being politicians, and the government in general.
