Whatever you may think of Rand Paul...

RE: Whatever you may think of Rand Paul...
Quote:I'm openly opposed to most types of government both as a nihilist and as a Libertarian (minarchist). You should be aware by now that I support capitalism as an economic system, not as some government mandated and controlled entity (i.e. crony capitalism). I am completely against the government interfering with the economy. People should be able to interact with the economy in any way they want to; whether they set up small socialist / communist communities, or embrace the free market.
I agree 100% with your concepts posted here. Im still a bit off on how you equate nihilism with even a little bit of government, but I am willing to nod my head at it. I agree that a LITTLE bit of council is required for humanity to get along and for progress reasons.
Im wondering how you feel about these topics: Monopoly, land ownership, and enforced safety measures (such as Osha, fire codes, etc..)

Quote:No citation; just common sense. If you have a community that lacks any sort of moral compass, then whoever can kill / enslave the rest of the community fastest wins. You cannot prosecute thieves, rapists, or murderers without resorting to some sort of moral argument in order to back up your reason for prosecuting.
To be honest with you, I usually have no problem with "common sense" as an answer. I realize it is very difficult to discuss such things...especially the way you explained "common sense". I agree 100%. Im not sure if it could be called "morality", but calling it "common sense" I am willing to nod my head at. You cant have a community if people steal, rob, kill, and cheat with no boundaries.
Quote:Agreed, and I look forward to it.
Ive already got an 800 word intro and still working. I promise you that I will be a good boy during the debate.
Quote:Them being an anti-racism activist has nothing to do with the jail term, or the reason why they were jailed though. This would be like arguing I'm being sexist or supporting sexism because I threw a female bank robber into jail.
Thats the point, and that is why it is racism being supported through the back door. Here in America many of the racists work on these angles. Im not calling you a racist, but they use the same angles: "Im not supporting whites only signs *wink wink* Im supporting property rights"..BTW, your example wasnt a good example. Throwing a black man who wants a sandwich in jail for walking into a "whites only" restaurant is clearly a more refined argument than the one you posted...at least respond to that fact.
Quote:I find it very hard to believe that the majority of white people in any civilised country would come together and oppress the minorities. A lot of the reasons "racists" give for hating minorities is that they take all their jobs and get special status by the government. One could argue this isn't true racism, and whether a fairer society where the government doesn't rule on race would encourage them to be more accepting has yet to be seen.

I should also point out that black people in America won their freedom and their rights not by becoming the majority, but by convincing the majority that such treatment was wrong. It was white people who gave blacks their freedom and rights, and yet somehow you think it will be white people who take them away again? I severely doubt this.
You dont live here in southern USA. Racists down here have all sorts of looney conspiracy theories and it is hard to keep up with all of them....more to come later...
