Anarchy

From the Greek prefix an: "without; the absence of" and the Greek noun achon: "master; ruler". Anarchy does not mean "without rules". It literally means "without rulers; without masters". No Rulers. No Masters.

Anarchy is the state of existence where there are no masters and no slaves. Therefore, anarchy means the absence of slavery, or in other words, freedom. "

Yes you are right. That is the true meaning of the word. Although i find it hard to imagine that there can be an absence of hierarchy.
Even in chaos.

Yes i agree

When a psychiatrist sees a patient that is in need of help. Then if it was in some sort of dire situation. Then he could give his opinion about that person. And the authorities would take him seriously. Because he is a Psychiatrist. If people are a danger to society. And an authorized psychiatrist would observe and notify authorities. Then they can be commited to an asylum. Without the consent of the patient. I know it sounds real drastic like this...
But he should have distanced himselve in this debate of giving an analasys of Obama. But by simply pointing out the things in Obama's character. It puts him in the chair of a psychiatrist.
If he analyses Obama on the basis of a political commentator. Then it is a different story. And i have no problems to that.

I agree. But in the context that Krauthammer is a Psychiatrist puts this debate in a whole different light. Krauthammer should have distaned his opinion in the role of Psychiatrist in this debate. I have no problem with the other professions. I think he has every right to critize Obama. But not in the role as Psychiatrist. Because i think that is unethical.

@msharmony

Yet again we are much alike on this point. Because i do not know how
dr Krauthammer wants to be represented at. Is he on FOX as a columnist, author, political commentator, AND Psychiatrist ?

I mean... don't get me wrong. I am not debating that he is not qualified in these professions. But i just want to know what he is represented at there. I think that when he is there as a columnist, author and political commentator. Then he is in the right place to give his opinion.
But as a Psychiatrist ? I find that a bit strange. Because a Psychiatrist should be discrete. And not talk about people this way on tv.
It is very unprofessional. And when he conciders as msharmony says.. that he is treating Obama. By judging him this way. Then it is against the Hippocratic oath. Which he has to abide to. And swore to
In his function as Psychiatrist.

@ Conrad_73

"Sure glad you are against Private Property and therefore Individual Rights!
Exactly in keeping what is going on in the Socialist-EU these days"

Conrad_73 do not think that when i disagree with you on one thing that i disagree with everything. I truely hate the EU.
But the EU is another thing then the Dutch government. I think that
people have the right to property. They have the right to become richer. When people work hard then they should be rewarded accordingly.
My idea of a state that is socialist.( name it anything you like ) Is a state that takes care of
it's citizens in a good and productive way. I never said that because
of this people can just hang in front of the tv. Because the state
will provide them. It is about balance. But it goes for the richer
people too. They should pay taxes accordingly and not be able to dodge
them. Or go to foreign countries to have low waged people manufacture
their goods. Taking all the jobs with them that should remain in the country

Oh i did not know that. But a few months ago i got a free offer from
an affiliate to a newsgroup service. And they had a free VPN tunnel for me. Why they say this.. i do not know. I never asked for it. But when i started to do some research about that. Then i found out that they where not so "private" with information of their customers.

Thanks all for clearing this out :)

@ Leigh2154 quote ".Look around you!...Check out Spain, Greece, North Korea, hell even Venezuela!...Poverty cannot be "cured" by taking from the haves and giving to the have-nots...The only cure is for the have-nots to become productive.."

My friend she lives in Spain. And she had to struggle for a job. Don't tell her that she needs to become more productive.
She has a University degree and raises 2 kids. She had to find a job way beyond her level. And work hard.
Also more people that are highly educated struggle to find jobs here. And have reverted to jobs below their level of education.

Also.. we are talking about my country now. And i can assure you that before the privatisation of things i was happy to live here.
Healthcare was free. And it was mandatory that children got check ups from a dentist that visited the school.
The train would always leave on time. And the railroads and trains where well taken care of.
After they privatised it. The trains did not leave on time. And maintaining the railroads is badly managed now.
Healthcare is very expensive. And there is more and more cuts. People worry about their pensions. Because managers have put all those
funds into the market. And gambled with them. And the result is a deficit.
A government in my country can assign someone in the government to do all kinds of managing duties. And they do not need
a ridiculous salary to do this. So there will be a lot more money to spend on the population.

Trust me.. i would not want to be in the USA in bad health. I know a doctors assistent. And one of her friends is diagnosed with
cancer. She once asked my friend for her gun to kill herselve. Because the pain was so unbearable. And she could not afford medicines.
My other friend she is a university teacher. And she is nominated by the former president. And she does not even have dental coverage.

If you think it is fair that companies like Starbucks can dodge taxes. Then it is your opinion but not mine.
Do those happy 1% provide your country that much ? Not really.. they will go abroad where there is cheaper labour.
I never said that people should not be able to pursue to become rich. I am not propagating that the super rich should maintain
the poor. Because that is a fallacy. No one wants to be poor. But if people do not have the chance of proper education and
healthcare or jobs. Then do not blame them for not advancing in life.

I am not THAT masochistic.

Oh yes. Thank you for pointing this out. I really wonder what it would be like for a person like me. To lie on his couch.

I think that instead of "Get the ****ing Government out of People's Face before the whole world doesn't end up like the old USSR!"
You meant to say "Get the ****ing Government out of People's Face before the whole world ends up like the old USSR!" right ?

I am sure that you do not mean total anarchy ?
There must be some form of structure.
And i do not really see the link between socialism and Government interferance. Communism did not work. But the gap between rich and
poor in the Capitalistic system is a lot bigger now.
In my opinion privatisation is one of the culprits to this problem. Not socialism.

What would be your solution to this problem ? Conrad_73
