My neighborhood doesn't have one. I live in a good subdivision in a good part of a good town.

I would belong if we had one.

I don't trust the police.

Besides, the police in this area exist to write speeding tickets and investigate a crime after it has already happened.

(I know this wasn't part of the question, but just cuz: on my street are about 20 houses. About 6 of them are owned by latinos, another one by Indians (from india), and 5 by blacks, the rest white. so I don't really live in what one would call a segregated area.)

I'm part of one, but mainly only so I can get the emails and make fun of them.

This is still what I was ultimately going for. To find out about how people feel about their communities. I don't even lock my car doors, and I definitely have diversity in my neighborhood.

That's funny as hell. I know you're joking, but do you feel your neighborhood is safe?

Are you referring to my quick test to see if a cop is honest or not?

That is not why I don't like police. My main problem with the police is that they are the primary domestic enforcers for our statist government.

Odd you are a pacifist.........anticlimatic

Consider. A pacifist is against the use of force. To quote G.Washington 'Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. '

Anyone who accepts pacifism, if they take it to its logical conclusion, must arrive at anarchy. All government action is force. Every law, mandate, prohibition, etc is backed by a gun.

I know you were joking earlier, but why do your neighbors buckle up upon seeing you?

Fear of a ticket. A ticket results in paying a fine or going to court. What happens if I ignore a ticket? Eventually, people are sent to arrest me. If I don't want to voluntarily go with them, it will result in the use of force against me. Deadly force if they deem it necessary.

Because I didn't buckle up.

Anarchy does too. Your argument is fruitless.

(don't mean to be dense, I just don't follow you)

You said, if you accept pacifism as an axiom, then logically you must arrive at anarchy as your idea government because government=force.

If you take anarchy to its logical conclusion, it also ends in force. Therefore, pacifism is logically invalid.

Can you explain the anarchy to force chain? I have never seen that demonstrated?
