"no man-made government will ever work"

Is this an anarchist view, a feminist view, or an ANIMAL POWER view?

I agree with this. Some governments can work out for a while, but it will come crashing down eventually. But, without government, it could be even worse. So, what's a better way?

neither. Its just the truth. What government have ever brought about lasting peace or satisfying conditions? No such thing...

I didn't say that, the other guy did and I was just quoting.

It has to be one of those... and obviously the above quote shows it's an anarchist view. What I said was mostly a joke (as in, no man-made government ever works, thus, animal power. or man as in literally, a man. so therefore, feminist). However, you have to consider here, what DOES work. Anarchy is the only alternative to having a man-made government (btw, why say man-made government? who else makes a government? what I said was making fun of you... do you mean woman made or animal made, instead?), and personally I believe anarchy would create much worse circumstances than we are in now.

Basically...

Government isn't about making a great system for the people but rather it is the "best of all the evils" in which humanity can live.

Not everyone here is as nice as I once though....

this is basically what i meant...

i believe in a future theocracy to replace man's governments

I believe that God causes evil intentionally.

Why is this?

Burns could tell you for hours probably on why this is a silly view.

I'm a decent person and I'm usually (99% of the time) against prejudice, but living where I live, I can't help but have a nagging doubt about black people in my area. Black people internationally I'm Ok with, but black people locally I really really hate. Black people living near me (I know I'm generalising here, but bear with me) are total bastards. A white person can't walk through an area near my housing estate without being asked "what I'm doing here" or making eye contact with some black kid without someone starting a fight. Racial tension in communities like mine annoys me more than anything else.

Why should skin colour affect how we treat each other? People having different races is simply the result of evolution. Why should anyone treat anyone else differently because of the location their family has lived in for the last 1000 generations? It just doesn't make sense and pisses me off to no end. Why should I have to avoid making eye contact with any black people in my area just because I'm white?
