    Default to commit treason?

    under what circumstances would you commit treason and fight against your country?

    Fight against my country? As in, be a soldier? If that's the case, the only circumstances I would fight against my country is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sort of thing, where they're going to blow up the earth unless I fight to stop it.

    Other than that, I would chicken out and flee to a safe haven. *shrug*

    The only example I can think of is if I was living under an oppressive totalitarian regime.

    There can be no argument here. Love and MJ conquers all.

    If my country did something so egregiously and violently wrong it upset my moral standards and the majority of people would progress in that vein, I would fight against it.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Basically I aggree with Fire_of_Avalon, though Dr. K brings up a good point too.


    STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!

    I would not participate in war voluntarily. To participate in war I am forced to join one of the sides, and there are never a side in war sharing my opinions. If they would share my opinions they would not be fighting a war. Fighting against relative evil together with people whom I partly disagree with is just something I do not wish to do. Choosing the lesser of two evils rarely brings a positive change.

    Ditto foa.

    My loyalty to my country isn't absolute. If the actions of the government began to threathen the saftey and well being of it's citizens, I wouldn't stand for that. A draft for the War in Iraq would be one of those actions that would prompt me to go against my government.

    Genocide, or something similar. They'd have to be *actual* nazis though, not retorical ones.
