He lived there for years and no one bothered him. It's also Japan which is not relevant to the argument here.

Good pic rebeldor...

I'll ask as I have before, if someone didn't want to pay to be 'defended', just HOW would the defensive forces know whom to defend?

Forgot how unhinged the statist cons are though.


It's amazing how left-leaning posters like burdell's and pknopp's posts are almost word-for-word identical to those of right-wingers like golgi.

I asked HOW would the defensive forces know whom to defend if some opted out?

Why should I have to leave? I was born here.

Isn't it a better idea to try to make the place in which you live freer?

Which is really a useless argument. Taxes are nothing more than a user fee. Those like yourself will argue the same when someone wants to institute a fee. They will argue a fee is just another word for a tax.

And why do you people always use the wilderness fallacy? Most wilderness is "owned" (really claimed) by the federal government. If I homesteaded a plot of publicly-owned land I would be arrested.

Even so, you told us a man who's done nothing wrong has the right to be left alone.

So, once again, your wife comes home and says she was raped by a man whose address she knows. You report it to the police, they go to that address and the man says he's done nothing wrong. Would you be happy to end it there and say the man has the right to be left alone?
I'm only subject to natural law. The Constitution is a man-made document enforcing man-made laws.

So, once again, private courts and arbitrators--the way it has been done for thousands of years.

I'm sure someone beat me to it, but search engines are useful.
