That pic is of an organised group trying to enforce their will on another group..... the very antithesis of anarchy.
Why not? I see everything, the peace, the non-heiarchical organization, the self-organization, the independence, the use of bicycles... what's it missing? Molotovs?Changleen said:
Yeah, I have a few minutes before more homework.
They're not forcing drivers to get on bikes, though if they did that would help. The drivers made the choice to drive 4000lb monsters. Besides, it's a once-a-month protest, I say the drivers should get over it and accept a delay once a month to celebrate bikes.DaveW said:
Are drivers not forcing their will on bikers all the time? And the government buiding roads strictly for cars?
The comment about molotovs was sarcastic, directed towards anyone who thinks anarchy is about vandalism and molotovs. I should have included some smileys, and I take it back now that I can tell you're not one of those people.Changleen said:

Roads are not strictly for cars. Motorcycles as well.
I think i am going to go find some Anarchy for teh night . I still have near two and a half hours till the Titty bar closes. True Anarchy Im dropping 20's to see the Girls fight for them......just kidding... but really Im goin to the titty bar... Anyone wanna join me??
Yes, but isn't that selfishness inspired by our highly competitive society? There are countless examples of selfless people, or anarchist revolutions, or co-ops or communities or tribes, where anarchy or extreme socialism worked.Changleen said:
The only reason why it's impossible now is how are you supposed to have a revolution when foreign armies would be waiting outside to conquer your people's militias? In Spain in 1936 during their revolution/civil war Britain posted warships off of Barcelona to protect their assets.
What most people call "human nature" of corruption or greediness I blame on our system that promotes that nature.
I'm going to give this thread a rest, sorry for turning it into a politcal/philosophical discussion. I'm going to go talk about bikes.
edit: Does this give me a custom title?
edit: Does this give me a custom title?
Which is the point of the protest. As I said it's an organised attempt to force their will on others..... They are forcing cars off a road that was designed for them.black noise said:
Yes but they are not claiming this act to be anarchy.......black noise said:
Back to the moral issue. Freshman year of college, I decided to make my trials bike a slalom bike. I saw that a teammate in town was selling a good fork and front wheel. I went over, checked it out, and it was a legit setup. I ended up buying the fork/wheel for about $150. A few months later, I learned that another friend of mine originally sold the fork and wheel for $100 to the guy who sold it to me. So the teammate who I bought the fork from made a $50 profit.
Should I be angry? At first, I was just dissapointed with the team mate. Then I realized that it was still a pretty good deal that I got. We're both starving bike riders. I do think lower of him for doing that, but he still didn't rip me off. When I meet a new rider in town, I usually try to help them out however I can. You could make a case saying he helped me buy not selling it for more than he did, or you can say he made an extra buck at the expense of another team mate. Every story has two sides to it, and I can understand both sides of this dilema. Just an example for this moral debate.

Dammit stop hijacking this fine thread you Capitalistic asshats. 
What about the secret Santa thingy, your giving stuff away for free while you could have made money out of it all under the spirit of helping a guy/gal out.
But since this only seems to works around Xmass I think your either all full of **** or your all a bunch of hypocrites :eviltongu
Now go hijack another thread and let this one die in piece

Seems like Black Noise is a utilitarian; good of the masses over the good of the individual. The problem is, if you hurt enough individuals to appease "the masses", eventually, the individuals become the masses. See-saw, tit for tat....it doesn't work.
Hell, NOTHING works perfectly.

Oh dear god this is still going??? Hey Bikenweed good nab on a fork and wheel for 150 not bad. And good for you for seeing you May have paid 50 bucks more than teh guy you got it from and still being able to say you got a good deal. Truth is, he could have kept it for himself, or sold it even higher. SOunds like 200 still would have been a good deal.
Black noise isnt An anarchist, he isnt a Utilarian, he is young, and lacks life experience is all. But there are alot of people here who lack that certain Life experience also. Some thing you just have to realize Are not going to change, like the law of Gravity wont change.
Oh on the hijacking part... titty bar alst night was awesome.... How come noone joined me, scored a 2 for 1 and got hooked up in the ViP for the last three hours!!!
