Government is Irrational.

False, free people have made their country flourish, not the criminals.

(July 2, 2013 at 9:52 pm)bennyboy Wrote: No. You have the mindset of a free man-- and that itself is one of the best products of government.
I was born free.

No, private entities provide me social stability. The food is farmed by private farmers, the food is bought at private stores, the fridge is made by a private manufacturer. The Government just raises those costs for me with taxes and regulations on the companies that want to help me.

So if something is not bleeding everything is okay and it is not worth analysing?

I like society, I don't like criminals.

And don't tell me to do anything, you do not get to speak to me like that.

(July 2, 2013 at 9:52 pm)bennyboy Wrote: no roads that you are forced to pay for, no hospitals that you are forced to pay for, no police, no nothing.
False, private entities can provide all of that in better quality and service.

(July 2, 2013 at 9:52 pm)bennyboy Wrote: You are like the dumbasses who are against vac

If you are going to insult me, I'm just not going to pretend that you are at all interested in peace. I won't enable your bad behaviour.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
