  “Porque temos de prescindir de parte da nossa liberdade para garantir o bem comum!!! Why should i obey, in the sake of what, in the name of what? Filosofia politica de base, aconselhável a todos aqueles para quem a sociedade e os seus meios de controlo social nasceram espontaneamente. Eu não me lembro de ter passado qualquer procuração delegando parte da minha liberdade em nome de uma suposta segurança...Times are changing!!! ou talvez não, pelo menos para todos aqueles que, habitualmente , assinam sem ler!!! lol”

  “I thought the most interesting parts were when he said that there is not one form of government that is suitable for all countries, so some countries would be better under a monarch than a democracy.
  
  The other part I found interesting but disagreed with was near the end when he talked about how a society of faithful Christians would not be as successful as people think because even though they are all virtuous and obedient and serviceable, they know how to die better than how to live when it comes to war, so they would be easily conquered because they aren't as passionate about winning as those that are fighting for greed and power. Anyway, the book was interesting, but seemed very redundant. ”

  “A lot of interesting things and a lot of crap. Smart, but also naive Mr. Rousseau when talking about how the state first appeared, about bad religions and good religions (those who serve the interests of the state), about the Romans and their perfect (?!) political system etc.”
