Well that's one thing I agree with, but only one. Being a small business owner I love capitalism. The service and goods I have to offer doesn't do anything for anyone except play on their vanity, or maybe capture a memory. If it weren't for capitalism I wouldn't have a business.
And DLF stop the lazy poor people and health care talk. You've made your point. It doesn't belong here on this thread.
The lazy poor people healthcare talk ties in to liberal ideas. It's the far left wingers that are ok with lazy poor people not having a job and feel we should just take care of them because "that's our civic duty". This whole thread is about liberalism and what makes someone liberal.
Malcolm X yeah.....I don't really have anything good to say about that man. Whoever influenced who isn't important. Bottom line...he spread racism but it was Black Supremacy instead of White Supremacy. King spread equality and so he was a more important figure.
Meatball...why do you have this assumption that Libertarians are ok with anyone doing anything at any time? Everyone realizes that we have to have laws. Just because I'm ok with someone smoking pot or even crack in their living room doesn't mean I'm ok with people who hurt innocent people. We Libertarians are ok with getting rid of laws that try to govern a persons personal life. Of course all of the things gang members do are illegal but have you noticed they don't care? Have you not noticed that they actually believe going to jail is a part of their life? That it makes you a man if you go to jail. I mean how do you control people like that? You make it illegal for them to even belong or associate with a group that promotes violent crime. The idea is breaking up their groups because that is where they draw their power from. You can't educate the children to not join the gang because they are practically forced to join. There is no other way to stop it without government intervention.
