Well, isn't that too sweet! I vote for sending her to another country.

The girl is actually a pacifist. Anarchists aren't necessarily pacifists. Many do actually believe in organization (contrary to the common joke about that.)

But anarchists want a sort of spontaneous order which I think history has shown is not particularly robust. Hence I myself am a minarchist -- minimist government, police, courts of last resort, and national defense.

Clearly we have to kill the terrorists before they kill us and impose Islam on the survivors. So even us miniarchists say "bombs away!" We are not pacifists. We believe in self-defense.

I know lots of youngsters are pacifists -- its a fallacy of thinking that they can grow out of. :-)

"I think that what we're doing to them is just as bad as what they did to us, and I think it needs to be stopped."

Katie, they stole the silverware and we asked for it back- then they stole some antiques, and then we wanted those back, ...

and if Bill had a chance he would steal a mummy about as old as you and go out with her--it really needs to be stopped, don't you agree?

[Random Access]

Would an anarchy club elect officers and vote on by-laws? Would they have rules and a sgt at arms to enforce those rules? It seems to me that an anarchy club is an oxymoron.

[goodieD]

This little clymer needs to get her terms straight first of all, and realize that peace requires more rules than she would want.

"She shouldn't be singled out," said Amy Sierra, who wore an American flag sticker on her shirt.

She singled herself out.

This is one of the most backwoods places on earth. Even by WVa standards. Sissonville is, well, the butt hollow of the world. No offense to those I went to high school with who lived there.

[E=MC²]

A budding soccer mommy???

[goodieD]

I went to high school in a real "backwoods" kinda place for awhile.. (Francis Oklahoma, pop. 200) Actually I didn't go to high school there...we didn't have a school... went 10 miles away to Byng... at any rate.. I loved it there alot more than here in urban Fresno, CA, pop. 500,000... Some day I'll get back to Oklahoma!

[WVNan]

Agreed, so how in the world do these far-out ideas find their way into those backwoods? Oh...they have computers now. She must be above average intellect or she would never have latched on to this stuff, because WV has to be the most patriotic state in the union. We provide more service men and women per capita then any other state.

[goodieD]

If anyone had tried to start some anarchist, socialist, pacifist BS where I went to high school, they would have been taken out back.

[chuckles]

I'm an anarchist. I don't believe in anything. If you won't let me have what I want, I sue you in a worthless, nazi, pig court, that I don't believe in or want.

Makes sense to me!

[Protagoras]

Well, isn't that too sweet! I vote for sending her to another country.

I guess it's a good thing we don't have a democracy in this country where the majority could vote to send a person to another country for holding views contrary to theirs.

The girl is fifteen years old and thinks like it. She is wrong, IMO, but her views should not subject her to the loss of her first amendment rights. Whether or not she is allowed to do certain things on school time is an entirely different matter.

She is just looking for attention and is almost certainly apeing the views of one or the other of her parents. My guess is that very few would join her club in any case.

People have died to insure that unpopular opinions can be expressed. I would assert my second amendment rights in defense of her uninformed and wrong-headed opinions.

[Paul Atreides]

Let me guess: she wears grimy hip-hugger bell bottoms, clunky Herman Munster shoes or Birkenstocks, a ratty t-shirt with her own idiotic sayings written on it, a face full of piercings, greasy hair, pale as a cadaver, no original thought in her head, and the disposition of someone weaned on a skunk's tail.

[goodieD]

Hey you've got the rant down pat! In fact, you could substitute liberal and/or socialist for anarchist and you'd have it right there too! They don't actually have valid beliefs, they just play one on TV!

[Rightwing Canuck]

Don't forget that she wear all those things when she discusses the evils of capitalism with her friends...over a coffee at Starbucks.

[KY Dittohead]

Maybe she has been down to UNCW...

Witch hunt at the University of North Carolina

This is all this country needs, some 15 year old kid that thinks they have it all figured out running around pushing their pamphlets in our faces.

Can't help but remember a kid putting a picture of a fighter plane dropping bombs in Afghanastan in his locker and he was made to take it down. Now someone like this wants to be allowed to run around at school, no doubt tossing flowers everywhere shouting "Free love, peace man".

If she was to be allowed to do this the school system should allow the plane pictures back. Because he was just expressing his own feelings, what about his rights under the first amendment?

[Paul Atreides]

And she either has a crush on a homosexual male classmate or is a lesbian. I forgot the shaved pits and legs.

Pacifism only works when you are dealing with an enemy that will allow you to set the level of violence. Pacifism against a brutal foe who would just as soon murder you as not is a foolish ideal. Look what pacifism did for the Jews.

[Paul Atreides]

I'm sure the little geek would just sit back in silence if someone formed a Get Bin Laden club.
