I know that you cannot be Liberal and Communist at the same time. What I am trying to say is that many of the people in the government are saying that they are Liberal, but they are actually Communists who are ruining the U.S. Government. Liberals are left winged and so are Communists, but are further to the left, also both Liberals and Communists have socialist views, which I am against.2012 Wont Happen said:

I'm from Belgium, you see. You know, that shithole where everyone hates eachother.

Depends on the invader.
Actually, it's a weird question, because warfare's reached the state where I would be a handicap in a combat enviornment, being a small, pasty teenager with no knowledge of tactics or even the ability to aim and fire a gun.
However, take me to a period in time (say...1870s) where military technology and tactics are such that you can drill a man within three weeks, and hell yes, I'd fight to defend good ol' Britain
If it's a war between England and the Other Nations of the Kingdom, however, I'd probably side with Scotland. England has a nasty taste in my mouth when I say it.

No. I have little faith in my government, their ideals, and ideals of much of the vocal community. Landmass is just landmass, otherwise.
There are certainly some ideals I would stand up and fight for despite the eventual meaningless of it all, but they sure as fucking hell aren't my country. Freedom, and I mean practically total freedom, not the castrated and bondaged cripple it generally is, I'd die for. Close friends, it's a bit pointless because there's no point in having friends when you're dead - but I'd certainly risk my life in the right condition.

Liberals are Capitalist, and do not hold Socialistic views. Liberalism itself, really is not that left. There are people that associate themselves with Liberalism that aren't fully aligned with the ideology, ranging from centre-left to slightly right leaning, but in its purest form Liberalism is pretty much centrist.Dorby5826and360 said:
There is one open Socialist in the United States government, Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont, but I can't think of a single other person in our government with any real Socialistic tenancies. There are people in the government who believe in similar ideals to Socialism and Communism- equality, Democracy, anti-nationalism- but the most far left anyone but Sanders is in our government is maybe Social Democrat, which favors a welfare state within Capitalism.
I don't like being obligated to suck the dick of the country I happened to be born in.
On a grander scale it's analogous to being born into a society where you're kept track of by a police government and the only way you can life your life is if you trade goods with paper that people designate "money".

No way. I don't give a damn what happens to this pile of dirt with all it's emotionless, insensitive and generally unlikeable inhabitants. I'd probably run for it and not stop until i reach Sweden or something if we're invaded (by someone who's not swedish, mind)
I had to say no, as many others have said, I would happily die to save the lives of the people I care about, or even people I don't if I saved enough people, but my country (England) isn't really what I'd be dying for, plus the goverment just uses "dying for your country" to justify the deaths of countless soldiers. Soldiers in Iraq are "dying for their country" (and I have the utmost respect for their dedication to their beliefs and for their bravery) but that isn't true, it's just a perverted manipulation of that dedication to their countries by the government, and I despise the use of lies to justify ones actions. I suppose if the enemy was some unimagineable evil that would devour the world or something like that I'd fight, and if it threatened the lives of those I cared about I'd do it without question, but I'm going to be honest, the thought that say, a stray bullet could take me down, the thought that I could die in an instant with no realisatiom whatsoever, that truly terrifies me, at least with a disease I'll get a chance, or at least the choice, to do something important before I die. On that note I like to think that I'd willingly die for a cause greater than myself, but I don't consider oil miles away to be that cause.
