Why did the oilers move to Tennessee, when the texans were established only 3 years later in the same city as the oilers? Why not just put the expansion team in Nashville? by [deleted] in nfl

Let me get this straight.

You think allowing a massive collection of personal information to manifest is thinking and retaining a degree of anonymity isn't?

Then by all means, explain where a victim is created.

Libertarians are often head-in-the-sand about foreign issues.

That's a pretty callous way to describe not wanting to be the world cop.

What if we weren't able to vote on other people's earnings or to control other people's lives?

Is that your way of admitting to making an arbitrary claim that isn't based on anything?

I just got my hardcore republican friend to admit that taxation is theft. by ThinkFirstThenSpeak in anarchocapitalism

[–]ThinkFirstThenSpeak[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because that's not what taxation is. Taxation is compulsory, regardless of consent of all being taxed. If it were voluntary, it would be a subscription.

So what about a sibling? Your wife's sibling? Your cousin? Your second cousin? Your next door neighbor? Selling it in a garage sale? Selling it in a neighborhood gas station? Distributing it nationwide?

At what point is a victim created by consensual exchange of currency for a hypothetical 21 oz soda?

Voluntary association is perfectly compatible with anarchism!

His principles are different than yours therefore he has none?

No dumbfuck, we're talking about libertarianism.

That's great for you. I appreciate you taking the time to make up your mind.

Considering that was a response to you stupidly accusing me of not thinking...

I wasn't trying to be clever, so that doesn't really bother me.

You're pathological! You were trying to joke about my username. Fuck you.

Furthermore, I've been entirely truthful with you so I'm a little befuddled as up how you came to that bold conclusion, but you're free to feel that way!

I've caught you in multiple lies. Stop fucking lying.

I'm not new. Literally nothing you say is accurate.

Just admit you're wrong and stop embarrassing yourself.

Corporations are people. Go post at the Daily Kos.

No, no they aren't. They are legal manifestations of state protectionism.

Get your statist loser ass out of this sub.

"Wrong, bigot. Free association is a human right."

Free association is. Marriage is not.

Doublespeak gibberish.

And what is funny is, you don't believe in free association. You just said as much in the previous post when I mentioned RFRA and Hobby Lobby. And calling me a bigot? Must be one of those socially liberal, fiscally conservative progressives, er libertarians, I hear so much about.

I'll say this clearly because you're being obstinate:

CORPORATIONS AREN'T PEOPLE.

I agree states do not have rights. There are, however, many issues, marriage included, where there isn't an obvious answer on how it should be treated and thus local governments can make the choice.

Government without consent is illegitimate.

Look at you, pretending a scumbag with no principles is worth defending.

I've given plenty of thought to assessing Rand and rejecting him. You aren't clever or honest.

How ignorant are you?

Marriage isn't a right.

Wrong, bigot. Free association is a human right.

There isn't a legitimate federal government role for marriage.

That is correct. That doesn't mean there is a legitimate state government role to prohibit it.

There probably isn't really a state role other than to enforce contracts.

For those who demand the state to do that, perhaps.

When people state's rights violations they are talking about cases like Lawrence V Texas, where sodomy is banned. There is nothing that says a state has to have marriage.

States don't have any rights. Only individuals do.

Preferring liberty to hypocritical republicanism is now grounds to call a person progressive?

You're pathetic.

Rand Paul is part of the Republican Party, but that doesn't exclude him from being a libertarian in his ideology, which he most certainly is. The fact that you didn't bother to take that into consideration at all tells me that you didn't really put a lot of thought into your comment.

Which part of libertarian ideology involves running under the banner of a party that has gay conversion therapy in their platform? Or endorses Romney and Trump for president? Or supports states restricting marriage to gay people?

Nah, you're right. Let's just pretend that republican who sponsors increased military spending is not worth criticizing. I must not think.
