Wow check out this level of bullshit from agentssith

QuoteI am going to let you in on a little secret. It is all but impossible for an anonymous someone to ad hominem another anonymous someone by virtual contact over the internet. Do you know why? Because we can ONLY know each other by our positions!


That being said, you need to stop with the personal attacks and ad hominems against me, and deliberate misrepresentation of my positions. What you claim I claim (strawman) is wholly incorrect. I am quite sure at this point that you think that any of your opponent's thinking is circularly flawed in the way you just described and you are perplexed that folks can hold them. That is because they don't. I suppose there are people that hold those beliefs, but they are few and far between, are usually easy to spot and they make for boring conversations. All it takes is one. Case in point: this discussion/debate (or whatever you think it is) we are having.

I really don't feel like wasting my time listing your fallacies (if I have learned anything, the advent of the internet has come with it the invention of all new fallacies), but I would say that perhaps your most prominent one is 'appeal to faith'. Take this video (of Shane Killian is it?). For this video to forward a positive ideology, it must do much better than "You don't know and I don't know, so we should try it anyway. Because it is based on my assumptions that if you work from principles like freedom and voluntarism nothing can possibly go wrong! My principles are inherently good and there is no way they can be wrong!" See the similarities between that and religion? I do not make such assumptions. I am far more cynical than you realize. I am not a statist, nor a Socialist, nor a crapitalist, nor a fascist nor a liberal nor a conservative. I am not putting forth a positive ideology here. I am attacking and exposing the 'positive' ideology of libertarianism. I realize this makes libertarians angry, feeling like I am stealing their mojo "We are the anti-ideologues, not you!", but the fact is, Libertarianism even with all of its anti gubments and anti-this or that, makes its own over-ambitious a priori assumptions and posits them non sequitur: examples are the concept of property and voluntarism.

As you grow and mature, you should come to understand what I am saying.



As opposed to government-based? Yes, because when government lends student loans like candy, everything is dandy.

Yeah, amazing how they want to ignore the fact that it's been run by big-government central-control Democrats for 50 years...

Oh yeah, They totally lied about it. And their body language will only confirm it: look how that fuck-stick talks in a straight manner and a particularly stiff body, and how his eyes shift in the opposite direction from his dominant hand. That and the faint smile--the subtle hint that he's not even buying it (at least subconsciously). All schools of faraasah agree that these are the hallmarks of lying, which is confirmed by several papers, and a game theory video.

and give me a micrometer, and I'll bet his nose has swollen too--as a liar's does (yeah, that shit is real too, though not like in Pinocchio).
Meh

This is almost so bad it's hilarious.

"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world—'No. You move.'"
-Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man 537

Another case of "I would be a libertarian but we've never seen a pure libertarian society" argument. Because shifting the burden of proof is totally a cool thing for so called skeptics to do!
