Describe a scenario where you would take up arms against the U.S. government. - Page 3

**Rain Man** · 07-26-2006, 02:50 PM

What would it take for you to start up a rebellion group? What events would have to happen for you to think that you should risk your life to change how America is governed? Please be as specific as possible; I don't want to hear, "Some crazy despot is elected president." I want to hear, "The President disbands Congress at gunpoint" or "The President orders an invasion of Canada" or "The president has made it illegal for me to own slaves" or "The government is killing everyone who wears glasses and is sending the rest to the countryside" or some such thing.

I think it's a little late when that happens.

I hear ya. That's why I'm so mouthy now. I'm hoping the tide of public opinion will turn sharply before we get to that point. But make no mistake about the fact that they're coming.

Actually, it was a reference to the Clash's "Guns of Brixton."

"When they kick at your front door, how you gonna come?"

"With your hands on your head or the trigger of your gun?"

"When the law breaks in, how you gonna go?"

"Shot down on the pavement or waiting on death row?"

Great f'ing screen name.

Are you crazy? I don't want you in my work place.

Scarlet letter legislation bro. Sales is the best way to go. Someone will always hire a good one. When you have enough money run your own business do it. I used to hire ex-felons all the time in health clubs. Many of them turned out to be excellent long term upper management types. I never really had to worry about them being hired away.

No, they named that stadium for the Chiefs QB coach.

Lord I was born a (overly verbose) rambling man, trying to make a living and doing the best I can...

Uh well it was an example and last I checked Clinton is no longer in office so it would not work using him.
