On this 4th of July, let's take a moment to reflect...that you're not really free. (economic, permit)

We will call these people the good people.

Those islands are all under the jurisdiction of governments. None are self-governing.

I'm pro-life. I fully support the 2nd Amendment even further than the country does. I believe an individual has the right to own anything the government does. I believe we need a balance budget amendment.

What makes me "left"? I don't argue fantasies?

He killed people in an offensive manner. Should he have not been held accountable for that?

I don't wanna be a daddy.

You are free to deny fatherhood. It’s part of your first amendment rights.

Happy Fourth of July.

We can do better!

We’re the land of the rock and the home of the roll!

The right to counsel is a human, and therefore a natural, right.

Just HOW does something like property rights or freedom of speech exist inherently?

An arbitrator to determine guilt or innocence? Or a pay for play court?

Both. You're acting like things such as charity/free courts wouldn't exist.

But THANKS for giving me something else to celebrate today, the fact I don't have to live in a society run by you!

Neither I, nor any other libertarian, wants to "run" society or anything else. We want to leave you alone to live your life.

You're a unique statist. You have put a lot of thought into the specific causes and people you'd like to bully at gunpoint.

They absolutely do. We have a system to address that. It's not perfect, we do need to make it better but to overthrow it you need to come up with a better system which you have not done.

If you believe in the Bible.

Ireland had anarchy for 2000 years.

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

Oh? Please do regale us with stories of private courts and arbitrators thousands of years ago.


But, if you really believe in natural law I guess you'd be happy when someone bigger than you with a bigger gun takes everything you've ever worked for in the way nature works, eh?
