I'm well aware that government will continue if Ron Paul is elected. In all probability, I think it'll likely increase, despite his best efforts.
What I find disgusting is this tacit approval of having violence afflicted against you. If more people would just start saying "I will not be a...
You guys sound like a bunch of slaves arguing over which whip the slave master should use..
Slave 1:"I prefer the bullwhip"
Slave 2:"No, no, no, the cat o' nine tails is better"
1:"Well the bullwhip leaves fewer marks"
2:"Yes, but the cat o' nine tails' marks are not as deep"
etc.
Gross.
So your position is not all taxes are theft because the ones that we'd pay if given a choice are moral?
Well, I wouldn't choose to pay any of the taxes currently offered because I think a free market solution to every need I have would be better because of efficiency and morality. So, with...
I'll be quite clear, I'm not agreeing to disagree. There is no disagreement in this issue. There is truth or falsehood. Based on logic and empiricism, I am quite convinced that my point of view is the truth. However, if using the same methodology (logic and empiricism) you can prove to me...
When talking about ownership of ones body, it is important to remember that ownership implies control. If you wish to argue that you don't own (i.e. control) your own body, it is a self-denotating argument, unless you wish to argue that someone outside of yourself is controlling your vocal...
A "reparations policy" implies a governmental program. Government can only get the money required for such a program through taxation, or theft. Do you think the problems of slavery run so deep that it demands a huge increase in the government mandated theft that is going on in this country...
I'm a little confused by these highlighted sections. I see a contradiction, so maybe you could clear it up for me. The acquisition of power will be kept in check by competition, yet in a stateless society, you say the acquisition of power is unchecked. If there is no organization that already...
I could contribute to this debate, but I chose not to because you never told me how you determine truth from falsehood. If you don't have a valid means of making that distinction, then there is no point in debating. I'm not saying you don't, I'm just saying from your posts I haven't been able...
jon_perez, bradley just said the same thing I said to you before in kinder words:
1. Accept your opponents argument,
2. Disprove your opponents argument,
3. Or GTFO of the debate!
These are the basics of debate. If you can't handle it, then just don't enter.
I listened, I didn't hear anything but a mumble at that time. I didn't hear "time" clearly until 29-30 seconds after Ron Paul started. Mountains != Mole Hills.
My thoughts exactly.
Are we going to give up here?
Republicans are getting crazy trying to stop Ron Paul.
I think we have a good chance.
All of you seem to agree with me!
How about a new plan?
Attack those bastards where it hurts.
Stop supporting their wallets!
Bring back the Constitution...
Alex Jones is a bit off... Ron Paul got 30 seconds to respond, it's pretty clear if you look at the time stamp... maybe Cooper called time 1 second early, but honestly, Jones is making it look like it was a big deal.
What else would you expect from a fearmonger.
