Everyone should note that you've not done anything to comment on or refute the article that was posted and the claims it makes. In stead you've simply ignored that and gone straight to ad hominem, straw men, non sequiturs, etc. How nice.

The story is absurd. First of all, savings is not investment, in fact its exactly the opposite. How many times does the story reference "savings and investment" as a unit? Second, investment in and of itself does not guarantee production.

You are wrong. You are especially wrong about them being exactly the opposite. 1eek.gif Read an economics book or two.

If you had been paying attention, I've said time and time again that if you don't like the politics of where you live, then you should use your vote and your voice to change it. If that's not enough for you, then you want to be a dictator, and yes, perhaps you should leave. But use your vote first.

I want individuals calling themselves a government to stop forcing peaceful people to do what they want under threat of violence. And that makes me a dictator?

Elected individuals. Individuals who can be elected out. Don't like the choice, support your candidate and develop new candidates from the grassroots. Everyone has a beginning. Ron Paul became a Senator, and a presidential candidate because of people like you who supported his ideas. Good on you! That's the power of our system. Keep working with the system, and some day more people like Ron Paul may have a better chance at making even more of an impact.

 

What makes you a dictator is that you want it to happen NOW, and if that doesn't happen, then you claim your rights are being trampled, and you call people who don't support your ideas stupid.

Except the election process is corrupt to the core. Votes and politicians are bought and sold to the highest better. Stories like Ron Paul's are the exception, not the rule. Most of the time we are presented with a false dilemma and made to believe that we are doing our "civic duty" in supporting and perpetuating the illusion of choice.

 

Ron Paul and his supporters tried to "work the system". They were systematically disenfranchised and defrauded by that system. The system is broken and is long past the point where it can be improved through reforms. It is fundamentally flawed. It's time for a new, different system.

 

I embrace the non-aggression principle, and I am working to bring about positive changes peacefully and voluntarily, and you call me a dictator. Amazing.

Of course I want it to happen now. I think we should give freedom a try. Let people enjoy their naturally endowed, Constitutionally guaranteed rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and see what happens. I believe it's the only way to achieve lasting peace and prosperity.

 

But I still don't understand how the mere expression of my views and my desire for the changes I believe are necessary makes me a dictator.

 

Dictators want absolute power. Dictators wand to forcefully impose their will on others. That is the opposite of what I want.

 

I want people to be able to mind their own affairs, enjoy the fruits of their own labor, and interact with one another peacefully and voluntarily. In short, I want freedom.

Well, what the bast majority of the people want now is not to live in anarchy. Do you really support what the people want? You may not want to do so forcefully, but you do want to impose your will on others.

 

And you claim the system is broken simply because you are in a vast minority and things don't go the way you want them to. The US system is still, despite recent problems with fundamentalists, among the best systems in the world.

No he doesn't. You are very, very confused on this point and are quite lamely trying to invert the reality.

 

The people who want to impose their wills on others are people like you, BR, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, pretty much most people actually.

If the "vast" majority of people want to use the government to engage in violent aggression against others, then no, I do not support what they want.

 

How can you impose your will on another without using force?

Let me be as clear as I possibly can:

 

I believe that almost 99% of the elected officials (and most citizens for that matter) of all political stripes desire to impose their will on other by force. However, most people who are true libertarians and/or anarcho-capitalists do NOT wish to impose their will onto anyone by force. That I happened to list only a few is irrelevant and further discussion of it simply willful derailment.

 

Do you wish to return to the topic? If you wish to have a discussion about me, perhaps you should start a new thread.

Bullshit. You have a strong conservative streak, even if you don't want to admit it, as evidenced by who you consistently call out by name. I hypothesize that if you truly disagreed with 99% equally, we'd see a more balanced distribution of those individuals you publicly rebuke.

How interesting.  I admit that I made too strong a statement and back off a bit.  You respond with a pathetic attempt at humor.  I make a gesture that recognizes you have a valid criticism, and you respond with hygiene jokes.  A man offers out his hand and you spit on it.  Is this part of the overall "**** you, I've got mine" libertarian mindset or are you just incapable of handling an adversary who admits a mistake, makes a concession, and revises a statement?

Seriously, MJ. With the amount that you patronize, ridicule, dismiss and too often ignore others' valid points, someone, some time needs to call a spade a spade. BR treats you like an asshole because you (first) treat him like someone inferior or childish. You are the primary aggressor.

Oh, come on, please. If you look up condescension in the dictionary you'll find your own smirking face.

Consider the title of this goddamned thread. It's a backhanded insult that people who don't agree with you don't "understand", i.e. are stupid.
