Picking the right master. How has that been working out?

What are the qualifications to be The MASTER?
There are so many that want to be The MASTER?
Who will consent to The MASTER?
Who will say NO?

Nope. We all have one life to live...live yours as you wish, as long as you do no harm to others or their property.

Nobody wants to have to listen to a loud stereo at 3 A.M. or a barking pit bull in an inconsiderate ingrate neighbor's back yard. On the other hand, lots of people DO want to have the right to do as they wish ASSUMING it is not negatively affecting others. There is a difference. The first is a sociopath, the second is a person who believes in the concept of individual liberty.
So what are you suggesting then, if they negatively affect others, and there are no laws to deal with it? Track them down and shoot them?

I bet I am not in the minority here.

Why in the hell, do you allow other people, looking out for their own best interest, think and make choices for you?
Serious question?


We debate, argue and attack the thoughts of others here daily.
You can tell who is here to educate with facts and who is here to think for others driven by emotion.


I don't need you thinking for me. I'm positive the feeling is mutual.
You sound awfully triggered

It seems you do not like laws.

Should people really be allowed to do whatever they wish? Maybe some local junkies would like to camp out in your back yard.

Clearly by that, I don't need you thinking for me.
Do you really want me thinking for you?

I am not thinking for you, and since you are not thinking either, one must conclude no one is.

What triggered you?

I’d say it’s easier to create a list of what aren’t triggers....

Hahaha.
