I don't think anyone should have to apologize for calling a spade a spade. Barry is a tyrant and a murderer. He should be shown no respect whatsoever. Rand can stick it. Edit: To juleswin Here was your rep comment: "[mod deleted]" Well, if we're going to toss insults around, I'm going to call...

Other people simply saying "no," and there being no "legal" double standard for such a "state" to take advantage of. There's no way for a monopoly to exist without government, and government itself is a monopoly. The beauty of AnCap is that if there someday happens to be another AnCap society...

What is truly unworkable is minarchism.

I really don't think your "sick daughter" scenario in any way designates a flaw in the NAP. You decide its' in your or your daughter's best interests (mistaken or not) for you to break into the pharmacy to get the medicine, consequently invading the store-owner's property. However, he/she is a...

This thread reminds me of Honor's English when I was a freshman in highschool. I didn't really like or dislike any of the books we covered except one: Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. It is the only book I've ever actually hated enough to burn at the end of the semester. And to think...

So, I ask again, why does the government own the roads? The role of government is not to facilitate anything. The role of government is to control. I don't know how they'd work, either. However, I know as a rule that competition is better than monopoly. If that's a given, then handing over...

The question shouldn't be "which traffic laws are good or bad?" It should be "why does the government own the roads?"

What about rogue waves, tsunamis, and Godzilla? Clearly this wasn't thought out too well.

Highway patrol cars should be outfitted with dual front-mounted .50 cal Browning machine guns and heatseeking barracudas that are fired from a launcher in the trunk. That way we're safe. as. ****

I still don't understand why people decided to actually celebrate a goofy, fake holiday from an overrated TV sitcom... It's like the college kids I saw playing Quidditch (yes, with the brooms) on campus.

From Simple Facts and Plain Arguments Let me know what you think! I appreciate comments and discussion.

100% agree. Abe Lincoln has been on our currency for a hundred years now, people. A warmongering tyrant who jailed thousands, killed millions, and took a big ol' dump on that Constitution thing we all like to talk about so much. I think that's worse than some gay "statutory" rapist who may or...

Thousands killed by one man with an RPG? That's a little bit of hyperbole. I'm pretty sure the Iraqis and Afghans we invaded have had a hell of a time trying to blow up single vehicles with RPGs, let alone kill thousands. He is limited by ammo and the fact that he's a gigantic target, easily...

No, she's definitely a puppet. She's a face. Puppetmasters are never faces. It defeats the purpose of being a puppetmaster. She can be brilliant but that doesn't make her less of a puppet. She's just as much a slave to her campaign backers as Obama, and you don't get elected without being a...

Was that the only time you smoked weed? From many of my friends' experiences, they didn't even feel high the first time. Then, the second time, well, I had to kick one out of my dorm because he was laughing uncontrollably. I was getting paranoid/annoyed because I just wanted to watch South Park...
