What do you think would happen to society/the world if there were no rules, no authority, no government etc.
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

A truly liberal person is conservative when necessary.

Pro-life by choice.

    We'd be like congress, completely immoral, out of control with no compassion for anyone.

    non-stop rioting. The world would be a mess with no order. The intelligent people would be overrun by the people who know how to destruct.
    As in parenting, there must be some kind of order or rules set in place to instill values in people.

    The world would stay the same. Some societies might be a tiny bit different.

    Just to clarify. This is a very stupid question. Humans do not operate without some sort of system of structure, written or unwritten. I'm hoping the poster isn't suggesting this is a case-scenario for his/her imagined "society" to come.

    It would be a helluva a lot easier for me to kill stupid mofos, without those pesky murder laws in the way, that's for damn sure.

    That would resolve the overpopulation problem quickly. Otherwises it would basically still be the same stuff : people on top, people at the bottom and people in between.

    Quite the opposite I for-see a society where there's nothing but rules and regulations. One under constant monitoring and supervision, one so strict one can't take a dump without authority knowing.

    As for the question....After some period of chaos and mayhem some form of structure would be implemented which brings us back to "Same As It Ever Was".....Talking Heads

    what do YOU think about all of these questions you ask? just wondering.

    Actually thats not fair, because I think (cant remember) I've made many of these types of threads.....but I am just curious. I guess a lot of it comes out with replies.

    First things first ...catch and turn all the ex politicians into soap...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
