Libertarianism - Page 19

Last I checked my passport says USA. Part of the liberty I have as a US citizen is the liberty to live and work and raise a family outside of the USA without giving up my birthright as an American citizen. Hooray! Would you take away that right?

You have the right to vote, hold office, speak publicly and publish. That's not enough for you, so you claim to be powerless, instead of admitting that you do indeed have power, just not as much as you would like. Boo hoo.

 

Yes, but you don't actually live here and regularly support laws and policies that would not actually apply to you in your present circumstances. In other words, you're fine making up the rules for a game that others are playing. That you don't recognize this is astonishing.

 

 

 

Where? When?

Yes, and I regularly support policies that don't benefit me directly! I use the power I have in the system for the benefit of our society. The society under which my fourteen year-old daughter will be receiving her last three years of high school education, presumably college and perhaps future career should she choose.

Oh, but I don't live there, so I shouldn't have a say?

 

I don't think so, no.

Wow.

 

It does surprise me at all that it surprises you that someone would hold the opinion that people should not have power over how other people live their lives. I know that you liberals kinda live by the whole idea that you should have at least some control over how other people live their lives. It's in your DNA.

These policies affect me directly and indirectly. It affects my life.

 

I suppose you may* be right. This is one the problem with the hugeness, the power and the long arms of the US.

 

 

*Of course you'll never tell us how it actually affects you so we could have reasonable debate about the truth of that claim and how much it warrants you having a say in how other people live their lives.

Your belligerence should be legend. Just two posts up I mentioned my daughter. And there are other ways.

 

Says the cat calling the kettle black.

 

 

 

Yes you did. But you fail to indicate how this is affected by or justifies the policies and rules you wish to foist upon others.

 

 

 

Do tell!

Tell me one policy you think doesn't affect me or my family. Just one. I challenge you. I bet you whatever you like that I can tell you how every policy I take a position on in fact does.

Yay, another hit and run form Jazz.  The patsy in the skeleton costume was such a pushover and just let all sorts of nonsense fly past him.  What a joke.  

 

Wolfman:  Blah blah blah <libertarian fundy propaganda.>

Skeleton:  But what about <valid point>?

Wolfman:  Ah, but your <valid point> isn't so valid because of <bullshit reason>

Skeleton:  Oh, ok.  I'll accept your <bullshit reason> and stop thinking critically.

 

Yeah, dumb video with no poster commentary.  Yay Spamguru.

Why libertarianism is so dangerous.

 

I agree. What he really needs is more sarcastic images and music videos.
