Describe a scenario where you would take up arms against the U.S. government. - Page 7

**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.

Its no surprise... I wasnt complaining, do I hate the US for helping the UK no, this was a stupid war to begin with that led to democracy and the downfall of our military dictatorship....

Now, a little history lesson,

back in the 1800's, the falkland islands (malvinas) were property of Spain, when Argentina declared their Independance in and around 1816-1820, they became property of Argentina,

For some f'ed up reason back in the 1820's, the US declared the Islands free and the UK took them away....

The US declared them free of Argentine rule because the Argentina gov had captured and jailed 3 US Citizen fisherman on the island.

Am I mad, no, but thats f'ed up...

Meaning that a Felon had the same right as a Legal and/or illegal on the voting issue, I was trying to make a point.

In that time frame the UK and US were still colonial powers. I agree It's f***ed up by todays standards because it would violate various laws but back then if your country was militarily stronger than many times they took the lands of less powerful countries and called it a day. Not fair but much of history is like that.

The Rain Manroe Doctrine specifically prohibits the intervention of non-American posters in this part of the BB.

"Some crazy despot is elected president."

Good thing no crazies have read this post yet. We'd be referring to Trick Cheney as 'pres'...

Hey Mr.Argentine man, what happens if you get caught with a firearm? slap on the wrist, at most. Me, I get 5 years. Even for just holding it. Illegal border jumper gets off scott free, even though they break the law just by being here. Path toward citizenship, welfare, and you ask how they have more rights than an ex felon? Get a clue or go back

If I had to do something for America I would do it, I am American, (South), but if the US wants to go to war vs Syria/Iran/ Russia/N Korea and China...

I will go back home and stay Neutral...

Not sure I blame you, fighting in Iraq is about as wasteful as it gets post overthrow of Saddam. The US seems to not know where it should limit itself. But I would hope that if the US were attacked you would be willing to fight.
