Not really. We keep ourselves entertained.

I don't like being opressed by the government. But an armed conflict will not help unless I am cornered and will have no other choise. It will definetly not help to enlighten the public about the opression they don't recognize. Come on, in the dark ages the tenants had a 30% taxation or if they would not manage a 30% taxation as much as their masters could take and still have the tenants survive. What do we have today? How many more rules are there today? So I did vote yes even though I personally wouldn't initiate force, nahaa! Never!

It is ridiculus and the government is from my perspective not even trying to keep to their constitutional limits and that makes me sad but not suicidal nor angry... Just sad and helpless.

Killing (for the most part) innocent people is not going to change anything

Say's the aspiring SWAT member.

He got a gun an' he gonna ude it! Remember, you consented!

Then why not find a peaceful solution? How about some leaders in the libertarian party get elected and have voice in Congress? Killing (for the most part) innocent people is not going to change anything or help your cause. Most people in the "Government" are just people with normal jobs. My friend's mom does accounting at the local city hall. You're going to shoot her? Get real people.

The people you need to focus your energy on are the people in the upper ranks. The people calling the shots. And those people are not local officials, not cops, not anyone at the city or even state level. It's the White House, and Congress. Those are the people you need to lobby and get your message through to.

The government is making the prospects of a peaceful solution more and more difficult every day.  Everyday they are cutting off the avenues of peaceful change and they are becoming more despotic.

If anyone is involved in the government, we may as well hang them from the nearest tree because they're "part of the problem, not the solution."

Now you're getting it.

Wow, I'm glad you guys don't know where I live. You're some scary SOB's.

If someone wanted to find you, they could.  For example, your school address and phone number were very easy to find with just the information you've provided on this forum.  I'm sure someone with a really strong interest could find a lot more.  Be safe, my rule of thumb on the internet is don't put information out there that you wouldn't want someone trying to kill you to know. Also be very weary of social engineering.  A quick hop to hotmail.com tells me that an attacker would only need to know one more bit of information that you haven't given out (afaik, I haven't read your myspace) already to get into your e-mail.

But people here seem chill, I'm not saying this as a warning or anything, just a general caution about private information.

And which high school did I go to? Is "Zachary Bohlman" my real name? Do you think a law enforcement professional needs preaching on confidentiality and online safety? Sorry, nice try.

Dude, you have your picture on your eBay profile.  Your myspace has your pic.  Your school RHA thing has your pic.  Unless you've completely jacked this "Zachary Bohlman" guy's picture, then you *are* zbohlman.

According to your myspace, you went to  Lakeville Sr.  2002-2005, clubs including Track, Latin Dance Club, Spanish Club.  You might be making this up or recently chagned your myspace, but I'm willing to bet there aren't many high schools in Lakeville MN. 

You currently go to MNSU and at some point worked currently work as an RA. http://krypton.mnsu.edu/~rha/people.htm

According to your e-mail address on the above page, it was trivial to search your school directory for your personal information (address and phone #).

I suppose it's possible that you've either made up an entire fake online persona, or that you've stolen your information (and profile pics) from a real Zachary Bohlman, but I don't think that's likely, considering your information on your school's webpages.  Everything on google matches up to the same kind of authoritarian religious person that you portray on this site, not to mention your picture splattered all over everything.

All I'm saying is that if you put enough info out there, people can figure out who you are.  You were easy.

This is what we call 'owned'.

I could only find my legal name popped up on an online petition for American Atheists. LOL!

The top results for my name in Google are half news articles about my 6' tall fake bong I built and used as part of a drug legalization protest in my campus' central square (Red Square, ironically enough) on 4/20 last year, and half changelog entries referencing a spelling error I corrected in a fortune-mod package. I'm sure once I graduate potential employers will have a field day with that.

[ladyattis]

That's why you use fake names. I'm so evil because that's what I do. I add noise to the 'Net.

[bonerjoe]

Fake names sux.

[Evil Muppet]

[bonerjoe]

D'oh.
