    I get what your saying but that's not a correct characterization of anarchism, that is anarchy in the demonized sense of the word :pac:
    You should read that essay, it's interesting & if you ever meet your christian anarchist friend I'm sure you could school him with some basic facts in an informed way :cool:
    Is that not the same as Satanists saying the devils just misunderstood and he's really a nice guy?

    TBH Anarchy is so widely misunderstood and misconstrued to mean a state of lawlwss chaos to the extent that the term is really beyond reclaiming and the original concept is in need of a complete rebrand and its about time that someone told this to the leader of the Anarchist party :pac:

    She said she also wants to see if he gets into a degree course he is planning to do.

    Typical, greedy capitalist pig oppressing the common man as always.

    What a knacker. Having a gripe with capitalism is all well and good (who doesn't these days) but the vast majority of these cars were probably owned by good hard-working people who don't own any banks or anything of the sort.

    anarchism is ****. Anti-Captialists have some points but generally no solutions.

    Ah Pittens, I'm still waiting on a response to all of the nonsense you posted about Religion earlier ;)

    I don't know how many things you've called **** at this stage, funny how you couldn't defend this slanderous characterization.

    Excusing justice at the expense of money, that does sound like a right-wing ideological stetement alright...

Nor was it breaking and entering - which is more serious as it reduces people's confidence in their home, nor was violence threatened or implied against a person - which is always the case with muggings.

    You can't be serious, look how misguided the fellow was, he went out and slashed tyre's after watching a youtube video. That is psychological insanity & screams out for a better explanation.

    That is hardly a political matter, it was frustration & extreme stupidity.

    I'm sure it seems that way to somebody who knows absolutely nothing about either Satanism or Anarchism as a political ideology.

    caused €22,314 worth of damage to the vehicles .....adjouring the case for over a year to let Somers "put his money where his mouth is."......has already paid over €1,000 in compensation.

    Seemingly its being repaid over thirty years

    Looks like 77 were owned by a car Dealership and the rest (51?) were private cars along the route..

    I know that place, got some nice cars in the yard sometimes.

    30 years is a long time, that would be such an annoyance but it's good that he's doing it & paying that back will be a constant reminder to cop the ƒuck on :p

    Ah Pittens, I'm still waiting on a response to all of the nonsense you posted about Religion earlier

    i get daily email alerts which stops me replying to threads as they happen, anyway i won that argument, in my own little mind.
    That explains why you accused me of being a liberal in a derrogatory manner. I suppose Milton Friedman & his Chicago Boys absolute destruction of Chile would be more to your liking


    I used the term "liberal" too loosely in that thread. However am not a libertarian, nor a Friedmanite at all - centre right I said. I am, after all, defending the non-jailing of an anti-capitalist anarchist in this thread.

    Excusing justice at the expense of money, that does sound like a right-wing ideological stetement alright...

    Plenty of left-wingers make that case for non-violent offences.


    You are right about my over-use of the word "****". I will stop that right away.

    All political ideology is deeply flawed when it's put forward as an ultimate way of doing things. I wouldn't ever constrict myself to one or two ideologys I think it's absurd to do so. It's what annoys me about politics in general "we have this book, so far 60% of it's been either inefficient or just counter-productive but we're sticking with it anyway".

    Satanists I just don't get, it's rewriting the rules to suit your fashion sense.

    I'm not sure but do Insurance companys cover tyres? If somebody slashed my tyres I'd be out of business cos I couldn't afford the replacement cost. I think the moron who committed this crime should meet some of his victims, not in a violent manner, just so he can see how much damage he has done to ordinary people.

    should also have to pay for taxi's , loss of earning and other losses arising from his selfish action

    The big capitalist tyre companies win.

    if you hate cars, get a bike and cycle slowly blocking traffic :rolleyes:

    if you take drugs voluntarily then you should accept the consequences of taking them. IMHO a drunk driver that kills someone should be up on a manslaughter charge

    The cannabis mention annoys me. He didn't do this because he was drunk or stoned, he did it because he's an angry immature know-nothing who thinks it's somehow cool to victimise people who have committed the crime of buying a car.

    When I'm drunk and stoned all I want to do is dance and frolic or get sick.
