[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8771819, member: 6802378"] Somebody after watching "V of Vendetta" in the cinemas might to believe anarchy is cool, but in the real life the lack of authority may means children suffering school bulling by their classmates, and this is only a soft example. You can't guess the missery of living in a "failed state" in the real life. Have you seen "Walking Dead"? A "chaotic group" in the D&D standards couldn't survive a serious crisis as a zombie apocalypse, or raids by warlords. In Star Wars, the rebel alliance was a true army to face the galactic empire. And even in Warhammer 40.000 the chaos and the dark eldars need a lot of hierarchy, coordination, discipline to create those space shipt for interestellar travel. Let's imagine a tree in the forest, and let's remember how the plants use the sun rays for the photosintesis. And all those living cells working like pieces of a perfect machine. That is very complex. Is it order or chaos? And what is honor? The Christian martyrs killed in the Roman circus. They were criminals and traitors in the eye of the pagans, but saints for the Church. And that Michael Moorc**k's conflict between Law vs Chaos is really stupid when you forget something really important, the ethical values of the Natural Law, the respect for the human dignity, for example. I hate that stupid manicheism about a cosmic balance between good and evil. Then in the name of this balance your family has to be eaten by zombies because the halfings living in the valley of the little pony are too happy. The true harmony can't allow the injustice.
