Going out in style

[Maxwell]

going out in style... I say rent a limo and have you and all your freinds dress real fancy then have them drive around to  like the drive thru at burger king or McDonalds and then go and play a round of mini-golf at 9:30 at night(it's ruined if you dont pull up in a limo and wear the fancy clothes)

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

something out of the ordinary, yet cheap.

Limos are expensive.  Suites are expensive.  Putt-putt for a lot of people is expensive.  Not a great budget idea.

[fuzzyoctopus]

Actually it's just not a great idea.

Highschoolers can do that.  She's going to be 30.  That's a great way to make an impression on people in the community, who you work for and with.

I was gonna say something along those lines but I was afraid it would come back and bite me in the butt with a

"I can still be a teenager" route, which I have heard one too many times...

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Host a dinner party (thats what adults do right?) and give it a crrrazy 50's theme. Dress a little like Donna Reed and make lots of finger food and play groovy music. Then screen a movie at your place for all your guests.

[Entsuropi]

Have an anarchist birthday party - start some fires, engage in a riot, loiter menacingly.

[JP Dogberry]

Umm...that isn't anarchy. That's stupidity.

Anarchism is at its very core non-violent.

[Entsuropi]

You've just been mindwashed.

the problem with this communication, actually, is that JP is referring to a very specialized interpretation of anarchy. Most people understand that, while anarchy would not be total violence, an increase in violence would probably increase if there was no law to act as a deterrant.

[JP Dogberry]

Perhaps there would be an increase in violence, but that is not anarchy - that is anarchy failing. Anarchy believes that no-one should have power over another person. Violence is excerting power over another person. Therefore, if you have violence being committed, those people are not anarchists, and the anarchy has failed.

And yes, I do agree that that is usually the most likely occurance.

now, I know what you're talking about, but your choice of words is way off. "true" definition is out.

Here are dictionary definitions of "anarchy"
thefreedictionary.com:
"lawlessness"

dictionary.com

1. Absence of any form of political authority.
2. Political disorder and confusion.
3. Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.

Merriam Webster

1 a : absence of government b : a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority c : a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government
2 a : absence or denial of any authority or established order b : absence of order : DISORDER <not manicured plots but a wild anarchy of nature -- Israel Shenker>

Only one of the three even mentions your definition, and that is not the primary definition. I think you would do better by saying "I use this word as" rather than "the real definition" approach, because the definition MOST people use is the first one I put on here. "Lawlessness." And, as EUOL will tell you, how the word is used determines the definition.

[JP Dogberry]

As opposed to the definition used by anarchists themselves? I think they can define their own political beliefs.

Oh, and of course those definitions weren't accurate. They were illuminati written to discredit anarchy.
