How my Dad reacted when I came out of the closet...

What's funny to me is that people who oppose Libertarianism/Minarchism/Anarchism are implying that certain activities are so vitally important that society would not be able to function without them and that it is in everyone's best interest to perform them, and that no human would ever take part in those activities unless a gun was held against their heads.

It's just absurd.

“Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.” ― Frédéric Bastiat, The Law
 
Roads?!?! Where we're going (back to the libertarian future), we don't need roads!!!

Telling someone that democracy is just a dictatorship by many, will get you some strange looks too.
 
I still don't identify myself as being 100% libertarian, but I'm far more libertarian than my dad, and we have a lot more disagreements than we used to have. It's gotten to the point where I usually just don't argue with him about politics anymore when I'm around him. He doesn't really seem to be open minded or listen to what I have to say. He still thinks that WWII is what ended the Great Depression, and I tried to argue with him about that, but it just seems like people that age are set in their beliefs and not very open minded about opposing points of view. I've found that younger people are generally more open minded and open to changing some of their political views.
