My take on the two... To me, libertarianism is a personal value system and anarchy is a political classification. Libertarianism is a personal philosophy respecting principles of non-aggression, self-ownership, private property and contracts. A political system can be derived from libertarian...

"12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations." And they'll even provide the active shooter.

A depositor is considered an "unsecured creditor" to the bank. What I get from the doc is that as an unsecured creditor, if the bank goes under then the depositor funds will be taken to pay secured creditors. The scam though is that the depositor has "deposit insurance" provided by the...

Why would you believe anything from the government or MSM about SH (or on anything for that matter)? We've seen no evidence placing Lanza at the school - but we've seen plenty of evidence indicating multiple perps. Same with Aurora.

I'm not commenting on the case. This has been a hypothetical NAP vs personal responsibility discussion using the case as an example. I'm not on the jury. I don't know the details. We have a near dysfunctional legal and penal system in the US. Bottom line is that no matter what the outcome of the...

I don't agree. If you're not of sound mind, then by definition you cannot make an informed choice. Again, I disagree. The drunk might have made herself more vulnerable but that does not imply consent to anything. As I posted above, if you leave your door unlocked, that doesn't imply you are...

I agree. The difficulty is the vagueness which is where the personal responsibility comes in. I think the courts should exist to determine the matter of NAP but that we all have a personal responsibility to mitigate personal risk. Does that mean she might have been "asking for it?" Which is to...

That is a distinction I'm not willing to make. What you're suggesting is that the potential rapist be the one to decide whether the woman is capable of giving consent or not. What I'm trying to get across here (badly I guess) is that it doesn't matter by what mechanism someone is rendered...

No, you don't. If the girl accuses the guy of rape, then the court must sort it out. The court should determine if she was of sound mind and if he was of sound mind. If she was and consented and he was and consented, then she has made a malicious accusation and should go to jail. If she wasn't...

I think so. The presumption here is that she called the cab *because* she knew she wouldn't be able to drive. She gave her consent by calling the cab. What becomes more difficult is if the cab driver then drives an extra 20 blocks and takes advantage of her condition. A jury though should rule...

Right, but that's the difference between what we should have with our legal system and what we do have. Rape is possible in marriage but by being married both individuals have given consent to sexual activity. It should be much harder to prove rape in a marriage.

That's not true. You don't understand what I'm saying. If you can be civil, I'll help you to understand. If you're just going to be an ass, I'll do something better with my time.

At the end of the day, only the jury is in a position to rule on a person soundness of mind. Impairment can be caused by many factors, not just alcohol. And alcohol affect everyone differently. Since there is a risk though that sexual activity could result in charges of rape or other serious...

Not replying to you anymore. I intend to respect the rules on the thread and post in a civil manner.

What if the person lied? Then you're saying everyone should take a blood test before having sex... I'm not.
