I'm curious to see how all of the people that swear by control would defend themselves. I think their faith in humanity would protect them in those difficult times.

Besides most of you can talk pretty on t3h N3ts but have some pathetic excuse of a moral code in reality, the only difference would be what you choose to let slide as opposed to what the pork let's slide. Let's also not forget all these legal jobs being depleted thus forcing more of the masses into either lower class (Would be in the same class they mostly arrest on petty drug charges that waste our tax money to begin with) or they have to find another job, which isn't likely considering how much schooling is involved in most legal jobs.

A far most interesting topic would be what would happen to our lying government without the law there to allow them to do the horrid things they do i.e. Halliburton, KBR. This is assuming our government doesn't panic & invest millions into private security firms in the very same fashion as the war.

Oooh big shock! Criminals don't consider the consequences of their actions before committing them! And to think my sheltered upbringing conditioned me to believe that criminals were thoughtful, articulate individuals who only embarked upon their criminal endeavors after deeply pondering every single possible outcome their action could produce!

Then again, I'm not a right-minded, free-thinking intellectual like you are.

Furthermore, what exactly did your "criminal activity" consist of? Ripping the "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law" tag off your mattress? If you did anything that was worth busting you for, odds are you would have been caught for it. But, since you're here today, that tells me you're either blowing a bunch of hot air or you, I don't know, made that whole thing up.

Or, maybe your "criminal activity" all occured when you were a kid. What's that? You're telling me that KIDS don't think things through either?!! Oh shit! My white, sheltered, "Leave it to Beaver" notion of the world has now be officially shattered!!1

See above.

Oh, so people can be trusted to look out for their own safety, huh? Well, since you seem to believe that people are so benevolent, you wouldn't think it implausible for one person to find room in his heart to put selfishness aside and start looking out for individuals other than himself, right? Who knows? Maybe this idea will catch on and pretty soon we'll have a small group of people looking out for the safety and security of others by enforcing the norms and practices of the land.

Wait, am I describing (*gasp*) COPS?!!

Holy Hell!!

kind of off topic, but I think we need to bring back mob executions. Instead of sending ken lay to prison, the people should have just risen up and butchered him.

We don't need to imagine a country without police, we can just look at one of the countries that already exists without effective police control. Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti a few years ago and several African nations come ot mind right away. Those are not places I would want to live.

Quite.

Because, until I see that little doughy bastard's dead body, I'm gonna assume he's on a tropical beach somewhere sipping fucking cocktails.

April Fools?

But seriously, does this thread lead to anything more meaningful than a retard growling at a tree?

After reading the op I now know how self-righteous and delusional cops are.

-Hospitals would be over-run by drug addicts because he cant arrest them and toss them in our tax paid prisions anymore.

Good. This is how it should be.

Cops are stupid and worthless, thanks for validating that.

-Rape would go through the roof?

Hardly. Vigilante justice would keep that in line.

-Nobody would pay taxes if there were no cops.

LOL!!!

Exactly. The idiot assumes that with no cops everyone will revert to their base instincts. HAHAHA!!!

He should know it's our belief in JESUS and fear of hell that keeps us from acting a fool...

You think the French Revolution happened because the police quit?

You're just kidding with this assinine analogy aren't you?

Please tell me you're kidding...
