Use moar verbz.

Yep pretty much... though it's spelled censored.

Censured is a word...

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Then the real question is, what did he mean?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well censured means to be criticized or to disapprove of. So I assume OP meant that.

Which is why we need to govern ourselves through a non-corrupt form of democracy

So live in anarchy with no protection. And when you get your belongings stolen, raped, and murdered without any justice being served, then tell me it's better than government.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

People get away with murder, rape, and stealing anyway...

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Yeah, and it's bad. So why make it worse with the anarchy?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I would hate my belongings to get raped and murdered.

By being a citizen (in the US anyway), you are giving them the right to do that.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

One could argue that they had no choice in being a citizen

Then they can leave? By using anything in my country, one is agreeing to be governed.

Calm down I am on your side. Just playing Devil's advocate

Nothing indicates that I am not calm.

No government is ever perfect. And while I have issues with ours, I'm pretty damn glad I live here, because there are a helluva lot worse places. And there has to be a government, or some form of leadership, or things would be a crazy mess. Someone is always going to have to listen to someone else, whether they agree with them or not. I mean, yeah, I understand why it sucks, but it's fucking life. And I just spent almost an entire semester reading and overanalyzing these dystopian books in my English class so I am so tired of this message.
