Legal Murder: Is It Time?

Hello folks, my name is Psy. You may refer to me as Omni if you wish. Now, about the subject...pretty bleak, eh? My point: the human race is made up of two groups; group one is comprised of world leaders, decision makers, coporation heads, religious leaders, celebrities and anyone else with a loud voice; group two is everybody else. Group one has systematically fucked group one, this planet and every other living thing on it past the point of repair ever since man discovered fire. Think civilization is a good thing? Bullshit. Human society traditionally solves problems the easy way (violence is #1 on the easy list) and said easy way usually (but not always) ends up causing even bigger, harder to solve problems in the future.

So what's the solution? Legal Murder. Not just legal murder, but the encouragement of it. Hell, we could have a year-round human hunting season! Anything to get us off this planet, and fast. I am looking forward to your responses. I know most of you will not agree with me, and that's good. At least some people have hope.

The legal murder is the death penalty.

You couldn't sleep with your idea. A bomb might just crash through your window...There wouldn't be trust, love...It "fuck" as you say this world even more. This world would be a war. You couldn't go around a cormer without fearing a guy with a bazooka.

Imagine if one or more of your family members were murderd and it would be legal, I think you would agree that you would want justice.

I don't see how that solves anything. I think you're forgetting the logical progression from premise to conclusion.

What NationStates are you reading? Logic seems to be seriously underrated here.

In his proposed society, you could go and kill the person who killed them. Unless the person's makeshift gun batteries and bunkers were superior to your looted tanks.

Basically, if you legalized murder, the people with the biggest guns would win. Then you'd have a new elite to "fuck" everybody else, it's just they wouldn't have got power by election, economic shrewdness or popular opinion, they would have got to power by killing everyone.

I agree with the idea of "hunting humans," but not the method. Instead of legalizing murder, which could only be done if it was "in the best interest of the public" so sayeth the U.S... I propose we destroy the entire planet with one fell swoop. Nations around the world have the power, why not use it? And hey, it's not like we'll miss this forsaken Earth, we'll all be dead!

As a friend once said...

They would win, they have the guns.

Not really. Logic is over-rated, but under-utilized. Kinda like that kindness crap.

I think that the solution you are really looking for is a policy of mandatory suicide, as proposed by my friend Andrew for NS.

Remember: It's only illegal if you get caught.

We could have like a month for legal murder every year. Y'know, one month to seperate those with big guns and those who dont have a chance. In the end we recruit those who've done the most killing and have the biggest guns into our Nations armies. It would make our nations stronger the way i see it.

There you go, now you got the right idea. But don't get me wrong my friends, I'm not really an avocate of violence. In fact I am a pacifist. I don't believe in being crule in any form.....However, I hate the human race so very much....it's kind of a circular argument I have with myself.

Anyway, thanks for your responses and I appreciate your oppinions.

I'm the same way. I also like the idea of mandatory suicide, that sounds fun.

"'Tis would be"?
That's two forms of the verb "to be".

Ah, the wonderful post of an anarchist. One who doesn't think of long term effects.

As law disintigrates and chaos ensues due to the anarchy your 'wonderful' proposal, eventually despots would rise over regions. These despots would eventually become monarchs. These monarchies will then, over time, evolve into constitutional monarchies and then democracies/republics. That is the way of things.

There is a reason anarchists are in the planet's minority.
