This is a gross mischaracterization.
Pretty much everybody I've met who's espoused libertarian principles ends up being this shitty.

Perhaps you should consider widening your contacts, then? You clearly have a broad-brush and aren't afraid to use it.

Plenty wide set of contacts as is. And based on what I've studied of libertarianism (I used be quite right wing before I grew up) and libertarians I know and interacted with, I am pretty confident that my portrayal of the ideology and most adherents is accurate.

Libertarianism is the strange belief that rich motherfuckers will be nice if they think that no one is watching them.

Drumpf ain't going to like this.

Perhaps in Ireland. You're wrong about its expression here in America, and I personally don't appreciate you slurring me based on your own limited experience.
You can cling to your notions all you wish, but that doesn't make them correct.

Yes, if you were looking for a blog that paired one ridiculous television character with another, here’s a fun Tumblr thatgives you pictures of Donald Trump with lines from Jenna Maroney on 30 Rock. Maroney, played to perfection by Jane Krakowski, is similarly thin-skinned and self-obsessed, and when you plaster her words over pictures of the GOPnominee, they don’t seem that far from things Trump might say, or has said in the past.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
