Would the Purge be effective ?

In real life would the purge be effective?

Also would you participate in it ?

What, like the movie??

Hell no. Now, if you only purged stupid people, or repeat criminals, then that is a different story.

@emequious_swerve: I think it would but not to the effect of the movie

Nope, there are lots of 3rd world countries with barely any law year round, people don't seem to be getting it all out of their systems there.

No it wouldn't help in the least unless it allowed me to hunt down the pepole that implemented that law and open a can of self fulfilling prophecy on there asses

Nah I haven't seen the movie but from what I saw in the trailers, it sounded like a pretty stupid idea. I don't think after a night of killing, everyone would just go back to normal. But it would be ideal for saying "You got red on you" the next day.

it would make things escalate

It depends on what country..

If the purge happened in our country..

Our whole country would be reduced into a barren wasteland in a single night.

No and no.

Honestly all it would do is let criminals and psychos stop hiding what they do for a night, the next day they'd just go back to trying not to get caught.

The Purge was a dumb idea, there's no way that letting people kill for /one/ night will suddenly cause nationwide peace.

Not at all.

But I may loot my local Gamestop if I had the chance

We are getting into really dangerous territory. On another note, the movie was too short for the price I paid to see it.

I know of probably hundreds of purges, be more specific.

If anything it will just leave more people pissed off the following day.

"Just murdered your daughter last night but it was for the purge so we're all good bro."

The Purge was my favorite Aeon Flux episode........

No

I would kill the president
