I've been over this point twice allready :naturally, it is the people in the respective industries that will be hired by the government to come up with the standards, but some authority (ie. government) will need to ENFORCE these standards so that the private sector is obliged to keep a certain standard of production that does not endanger the lives of the consumers could have been worse. Besides, without massive government intervention in Britain for example, BSE could have wiped out their entire cattle industry. my point?!? Im not an expert on toxins, so I expect my govt to make sure that all goods that I consume are REASONABLY safe for me. If what you say is indeed true, then someone will surelly hang for it. And if its only 'a little less toxic than arsenic' I should expect a LOT of people should have died from it by now. Funny, I use toothpaste on a regular basis and am still alive ...Im tired of going over the same thing: roads are built by private businesses, government standards keep them from building 'sub-standard' (read:unsafe) roads. Police, a private business?! Perhaps, you can explain how that will work..... they are not intentionally killing innocent people.... I've had enough of this repetetive discussion, IMO at the end the government is a NECESSARY EVIL. Could have done (and did) without it in the Stone Age, but fortunatelly we no longer live in that era.

I did not mean regulation in terms of the fiscal markets but in terms of building standards, water standards, food standards etc. You went on a little tangent there, which although not irrelevant, doesnt really need to be covered because it is doubtful such markets would exist in an anarchy. taxes are collected to pay for your roads, police, hospitals, water supply etc. Never heard of the latter two, exclusive to the US perhaps? agreed. mmm....good question. I guess we have no choice. I should also add, I dont really mind my government waging war in a foreign land so I can get my petrol cheaper I am the selfish type in this regard

good stuff....

sure, but whose going to PAY, whose going to REGULATE to make certain the road, bridge, building is built to a certain standard and its not going to collapse tommorow and so on.....or do you think the private business will regulate itself voluntarily? possible, but highly unlikelly since THE fundamental reason for a business to exist is to make a profit/money. its only violent towards those that BREAK the law, which in turn is set by the people WE vote into office - well, in the West at least.

True enough, peolpe left to their own devices could manage to live and co-exist peacefully to a certain degree.....but not today simple example: a citys vital water supply - there needs to be an organisation to run/build the infrastructure, a management to control it and an overseer (ie. local goverment) to keep the management on a short leash: making sure everything is to a desired standard for the 'greater good'. Now if there was anarchy, how do you suppose this would happen?

mmm....an interesting read/theory. Some of the arguments used by the author are a little dodgy. And the whole thing doesnt seem to have a point except for:

have to agree with Sasun on this one, Winston. I have read bunch of posts of your calling 'believers': idiots, brainless etc. And Im not the type that cares, but a lot of Armenians will find that insulting....

kill! kill! kill! kill! kill! kill! kill!

which ones Movses?

wow! those last two pics are awesome!

whats happened to the guys from Enron? There hasnt been anything on the news since their arrest...

move to Armenia for six months.....watch lots of TV. TV taught me english!

I dont understand why the bus was forced to stop.... <_<

its in-game. Check out their website they have a short in-game trailer there that will knock you off!

Armat, My second major in uni is Finance, I am an average student and have almost finished it, but I would still NOT invest large amounts of money in the stockmarket, unless it was my daytime job - ie. I could keep an eye on a very regular basis. Same goes for long term, its all one big gamble. Sips advise is spot on otherwise.

yes, but they (dodi gago et al) ARE the authorities.

sev, Im not much of a gamer, but this game rocks! I prefer the Brent machine-gun, nothing better for mowing down those krauts. btw. there is an expansion-pack coming soon where we get to play as the Germans, and they get a flamethrower

Should have played in easy first - I just finished it btw, after the third death. Its preaty easy (on easy ), just gotta stay alive and let your buddies do the work, putting their arse on the line - the Armenian way! And you wont believe, the mission after the next is awesome (up to it now) - makes the American car chase look ordinary yes, according the the reviews I have read (ive never played MoH). This game is more squad based. My mate is playing it on the hardest setting and cant get past the second mission - the game makes you fully utilise realistic squad tactics: suppressing fire, attack in numbers, flanking etc - Its very well done and realistic, and the AI is top notch. Its so atmospheric, its like being in a war movie

yeah, its awesome game! Im up-to the mission (with British) where you have to hold the bridge for 5 mins - its hectic.... The best part ive played so far is that car chase with the Americans - that was UNREAL! I also cant beleive how smoothly its running on my ancient PC (AMD 600, GeForce 256, 512 ram) - its actually below the minimmum spec, but runs with no probs on normal settings

I got my mits on this game yesterday and I can say this is THE BEST action game I have EVER played: very realistic, absorbing combat with smart AI... check out the site here An absolute must for history fans and computer gamers alike! a couple screenshots Stalingrad http://www.firingsquad.com/games/call_of_duty_review/images/11.jpg Can-openner http://www.firingsquad.com/games/call_of_duty_review/images/63.jpg
