Response to taco's ethical question. 1st approach - The Thirsty man: The dying man should either accept the offer or, if possible, fight the other man and take his water by force. Now, whilst I believe in property rights, they are not absolutes, property rights are a derivative of life being...

He always wins in the sense that he is correct. He never wins in the sense that he is accepted to be correct. A subtle difference. Yea, by far the #1 obstacle to argumentative success is that dreaded being the hippie. Like you said, always applying some arbitrary ethic to the situation that...

Are you telling me you have no morality? That would be interesting seeing as you advocate a political philosophy and yet deny morality. It seems you leave out a necessary stage in the philosophical hierarchy Metaphysics > Epistemology > Ethics > Politics However, I do agree with you that...

LOL YES, haha, I remember that guy, god damn there are fuckwits in the world. Im cracking up so much right now I totally forgot about that guy. How you deny all physics and chemistry I'll never know. And yeah he's is a passionate arguer and always speaks his mind, I dont think i've seen...

no no, one day my friend came to one of our young lib meetings and he had his jersey on and we were talking about jerseys in general and I asked what some of the slogans were that others had and in the course of that convo he told me that his best mate had scuba steve

Cool, Ill have to tell my mate I met you online. He talks very highly of you. My name is Danny Haynes

Hey Taco, read the last line of my above post

Irrelevant (spelling) I was making a point in the abstract, not to do with the accuracy of the specific graph

lol at 'independent experts' Im sure you researched extensively their qualifications to perform the supremely intellectual task that his graph construction Yeah, you didnt just read "independent experts" and stop your own independent thought, you really researched

By any chance do you go to carlo? My friend from the young libs go's to carlo and he talks about his friend at our meetings and going off your views and what hes told me about his friend im guessing you might be him. His friend is named steven and has scuba steve on the back of his jumper...

Jeez what a moron Are you gonna let someones home made graph dictate to you how far someone leans politically? You can tell yourself by observing their actions that they are not that much right leaning. If I make a graph showing the liberals to be as far left as possible would you say "ooh...

What a punk ass little prick thing to say. You'd go in the booth and tick the greens box and walk out like you've done something or made a difference or "fucked with the system", why dont you wise up and realise that is just throwing your vote away. If anything doing that would be immoral as...

Anyone that got in the bottom left or top right are fucking retards. If you dont see the contradictions in your views then you are beyond help

Replace intelligence with education. The two are not necessarily correlated

@Taco Terrorist 1. Please note that Capitalism is a political philosophy, not an economic state of affairs. Capitalism is the political philosophy of private property no less nor more. Capitalism of itself makes no reference to how someone should live. It does not tell them to go into...

I understand the theory very well. You believe in private providers of security services in the belief that this will provide greater liberty. A belief which has its roots in economics where competition of companies produce better products at a lower price, a 100% true statement. However, the...

quick note to sylvester's comment: government is not a situation where people wth human nature try to counteract human nature, it is people with human nature trying to counteract ethical wrongs ie rape or murder (we are talking about a legitimate government not the type we have today). So...

Lol at people who advocate private security firms as a replacement for government

A lack of metaphysics translates into a lack of respect for reality. In the course of your intellectual development you have somewhere made the choice to disregard facts and assume truth to be whatever you like it to be. Again, you say AC is a social system with a lower 'human toll' (something i...
