All it would take for me to rebel is a good weapon supply and a group of brilliant people, create an elite army of people who fell that the country owes them alot. Would start off by killing off leaders of the government, after that is done we simply kill off remnants.
ReplyDeleteI say violence isn't going to do anything in this situation weapons kill people its going to be a non stop war if it came down to a armed battle but some have to do what they need to do get what they want. Nothing will be solved in the end. I say I want equality but in the end its still the same it wasn't a good reason to kill for it.
ReplyDeleteI think i would rebel if the Government would not care of the people no more. Like i would see no change and if they would go to war and just not try helping us anymore. But right now I'm set. I don't want to go all rebellious just yet. Hopefully Obama gets something done so we dont all go all crazy.
ReplyDeleteI think that if I had many people backing me up I would do it. Also having the right weapons. Off tops I would kill the people who lead the government first.
ReplyDeletei think that alot of people are already want to fight against the goverment but theres not enough people ready to stand up and make it happen.
ReplyDeleteI think i would rebel against my government if they don't do anything about what we're going trough. Because people would want equality no matter what and if that doesn't happen then that's when war happens. But hopefully this time it'll change
ReplyDeletei think a lot of people would like to fight against the government but they don't have the courage to stand up to the government and tell him how they feel.
ReplyDeleteI feel that violence will not solve anything. Weapons kill so that will only cause more problems. Even sometimes rebelling wont solve or send a message. Equality should be for all and I feel the government should do something about it regardless.
ReplyDeleteIt will take alot for me to do something against the government. like if there really messing up and prevent from fixing things and helping out then may be yea ill have to do something about it. a good thing to do is create an organization with people that agree with you and go around the country and get others to join. then everyone can go protest or something. send flyers to convince people. but if nothing happens you can take action or try and put one of your own up there with the congress so he or she can try and make a change. i also believe that violence is not the answer but sometimes you have to what you least want to get what you really want.
