I think that lots of things aren't fair in the world.
How about you?

I'll just go ahead and answer with a blanket statement.

Life.

That is what my mother always led me to believe at least, given that her answer to any argument on my part was "Well life's not fair!" She always won with that one.

I think that in such an insignificant word, it is utterly ridiculous, as well as unbearably unfair to believe that one person is more significant than another. We are all human being on a planet that is one in billions. There are billions of galaxies out there. Why should we hate each other when we are so small that the life on other planets do not even know we exist?

Government is not fair. It should not exist. Government is just a group of elites who do violence upon the commoners.

Government is not. Government is a necessary part of life. It keeps order. Without it life would be war. As long as the government is not corrupt, it is fair, and is indeed needed.

You are so right! I mean, there should be no government, only anarchy. That way the strong can assert their will over those weaker than them and just take what they want, and force others to do as they please!

Oh... wait.... isn't that what you are saying government does? You know. As opposed to protecting the rights of the individual against those who would take it from them due to their superior station.

I agree with Cholokid without goverment there would be anarchy which is not actually a bad system but for it to work everybody would have to be ethically ok not steal, not kill, not take advantage of anyone. So for the time beeing and knowing tha people aren't and probably never will be perfect we need a goverment to keep the order.

This is the kind of society we need. People make the rules, and enforce them. Just because there is anarchy does not mean there is no law enforcement. People can freely distribute goods and services without government interference.

The spirit of Christiania quickly developed into one of the hippie movement, the squatter movement, collectivism and anarchism, in contrast to the site's previous military use.


Interesting stuff. Collectivist anarchist community, eh?
I really didn't find some information on how well it is doing.

"fairness" is an imaginary concept. Nothing is fair. Ever.

Ya I agree, there is nothing that I have seen to be fair. Fair can be applied to single minuscule things like "can we fairly split that candy bar"? I think of fair as having all party's involved leaving happy. Because if you define fair as being equal, nothing is completely equal no matter how we try to make it. We are humans, there is no such thing as equality and perfection among us.
