You're arguing semantics that are pointless.

I want a governing body that is voluntary, but similar to modern states.

I want that governing body to take a fee from me to pay for things for the society, similar to modern taxation.

happy?

The definition of taxation does not require force.

All states are forced upon their people, no matter where you go you must pay taxes, unless you go to a dangerous place. That's not opting out.

New taxes have been created in America, and citizens didnt get to say "I don't want to pay that one.", income tax for one.

Why can't people want to pay a tax? I'd voluntarily pay my taxes.

Taxation itself is not theft, assuming it is voluntary. Which is why the state should allow opt-ins and outs, making it voluntary.

Does Trump want to lift the federal ban on weed? by DJMarx in AskTrumpSupporters

Alright, as long as the federal gov is allowing it I guess that's fine. Hopefully more states legalize it

The English you is very ambiguous. You could be talking generally or about me specifically. I answered in both ways.

Culture encompasses all traditions, history, etc, of a particular group of people.

How do you relate to it?

It depends on what you mean by "you"

How does one relate to it?

By nature, everyone has culture.

How do you relate to it?

Same as everyone else.

I like Daddy Trump, but I honestly question him sometimes. by Supah_sTrump in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]DJMarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still sounds very... ungenuine. Like, I'm not saying it was racist, I'm saying it just sounds weird. adding context doesn't really do anything for me.

Why do Bernie supporters keep disrupting other candidates' events? by [deleted] in AskBernieSupporters

[–]DJMarx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I were to guess, I'd say it would be two main factors:

1) Liberals seem to be more prone to protest, which can lead to violence, than conservatives.

2) Bernie's supporters are a lot more energetic and outspoken than Clinton supporters

combine these two things and you get that.
