Is anarchy inevitable.

[mark69sheer]

The straw is breaking the camels back. The pigs continue to wallow in the trough.
Is anarchy inevitable?
I am getting a bad feeling, crime has come close to home twice in the last week to me in an otherwise crimefree area praise the Lord I fit alarms.
Will people still pay their fines in the current financial meltdown?
Will councils be forced into sacking all the non jobs?
Has the system become too fat and inflated.
Is this how revolutions start?

Am I paranoid or just spectating history in the making?

Of course anarchy isn't inevitable. It's a financial crisis not the end of society.

Lets see how it pans out the next time someone gets a £250 fine for having a wheely bin open 4 inches too far shall we?

financial crisis

Why do people insist on calling a market fall a "financial crisis", we never had a ".com crisis" did we?

Give it some time for the cost of debt to fall to a more realistic level as banks collapse and it'll become a tidy little investment with a reasonable rate of return. The longer we keep propping up banks the longer it'll take for the market to sort itself out.

I do wonder what would happen if it did collapse, taking the major food stores with it?
By my reckoning, we wouldn't have the power to buy in food, within a month our supplies would run out, topped with a winter coming, and a population that far exceeds the land's ability to feed it.

I shall finish short, since I need to fashion a protective tin hat now.

Anarchy? Why? What's happening?

Oh, you've been reading the newspapers again.

Didn't you know, 20 million people could have died of SARS/Avian flu/AIDS a few years back.


According to them same newspapers......

[speedy_thrills]

Shotgun, that's what you really need. What's a tin hat going to do?

Farmers end up with all the money from what you are saying,
or should I say the banks that own the farms,
or should I say the shareholders that own the banks,
or should I say the banks from which the shareholders will have borrowed to buy food,
or should I say the farms from where the food originates,

etc.

Kent Brockman: Hordes of panicky people seem to be evacuating the town for some unknown reason. Professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?

Professor: Yes I would, Kent.

[Puff Puff]

No, it's impossible.

IMHO it would pay just now to be well stocked up on food and clothes and keep enough petrol in your car to make Dover. Can't do any harm. Personally I have checked out the old Holland & Hollands and given them a quick pull through.

We've kidded ourselves on about quite a lot in the last 30 years and the stability of society might be just another bust bank.

[Munter]

If we keep breeding then yes Anarchy will happen. We do have a bit of a way to go though before that point. We just need to encourage certain people to stop before we run out of space to grow food to feed the people.

It's the same with any population in a finite space. It's self limiting. And in our case what you call anarchy will I suspect happen at the limit.

[Emsman]

It will be reported in the papers as how terrible the whole situation has become, and thats about it?

The cold war never wiped out the planet.

Aids was going to kill all humans, then we has SARS.

The millenium bug would kill everyone in hospitals, and make planes fall out of the sky- the only thing that crashed on the millenium was Q from the james bond films.

Bird flu seems so far to only have killed a swan

Global warming for the bks that it is has become climate change due to the st weather, and now the papers need something else to report on to keep the populous on its toes.


I dont suspect anarchy is around the corner- i wish it was in a way.

[Maxf]

Maybe it's time to stop using the club guns and buy my own shotgun (and 3,000 cartridges, military fatigues, tinned food and as many gold sovereigns as my ailing bank account can afford).

Anarchy is simply not a sustainable state, so no.

I dont think anyone is saying that its sustainable, its just a means to an end.

Seeing as you can't legally have full on assault style multi cartridgw shotguns, whats the best legal to have shotgun out there, obviously with no intention of shooting any more clays than to maybe use up ammunition when the best before dates get close, purely to put in the cupboard on preparation for the day of reconing

I wonder if what the OP really meant is 'Is a revolution inevitable?'

Depends on what you mean by Anarchy

1. "Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder."[1]
2. "A theoretical social state in which there is no governing person or body of persons, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder)."[2]
3. "Absence or non-recognition of authority and order in any given sphere."[3]
4. Without government or law

I think what your hinting at is revolution, because society simply cannot function without rules. A rule-less (I don't want to use the word law as it implies a governing / enforcing body) society would not exist for very long before it destroyed itself.
