libertarianism
About us
An open, user owned community for the general disscussion of the libertarian philosophy.
- Libertarianism is the belief that each person has the right to live his life as he chooses so long as he respects the equal rights of others.
- Libertarians defend each person’s right to life, liberty, and property.
- In the libertarian view, voluntary agreement is the gold standard of human relationships.
- If there is no good reason to forbid something (a good reason being that it violates the rights of others), it should be allowed.
- Force should be reserved for prohibiting or punishing those who themselves use force.
Most people live their own lives by that code of ethics. Libertarians believe that that code should be applied consistently, even to the actions of governments, which should be restricted to protecting people from violations of their rights. Governments should not use their powers to censor speech, conscript the young, prohibit voluntary exchanges, steal or “redistribute” property, or interfere in the lives of individuals who are otherwise minding their own business.

And for the record, these attempts at my character are pointless, even if I were everything you accuse me of, that still wouldn't invalidate what I have to say.
Dismantling someone's character, does not automatically dismantle their argument.
You should think before you began makeing pro-pedophilia claims and then pretending you didn't, while also avoiding the responsibility of delivering a proof when called on your bullshit.
But you didn't.
Hence my full right to call you what you are.
Now, would that be all?
Oh for fucks sake. You didn't even understand what I had to say. If you did, you'd be delivering counterarguments, not demands for proof of claims I didn't even make.
Get over yourself.
...cried the guy who contines long past his announcement that it is indeed the end of the dicussion.
Because, once an addict always an addict, right? ALl those beautiful words you say, they need to be re-read, the flow of adrenaline has to continue, long past the logic has left the room, right?
Would that be all?
You're right here with me, though... Don't fall on your sword as you go for yet another ad hominem.
At this point, I'm just trying to leave you with some thoughts, hoping some of them sink in and make you a better debater.
