QuoteWorries about injuries at a Long Island school have led to a surprising ban.

As CBS 2's Jennifer McLogan reported Monday, officials at Weber Middle School in Port Washington are worried that students are getting hurt during recess. Thus, they have instituted a ban on footballs, baseballs, lacrosse balls, or anything that might hurt someone on school grounds.

QuoteThe budget is essentially balanced dude (although it was a terrible mistake to balance it). Check out June's surplus. There is no deficit anymore.

Because they got dividends from Fannie/Freddie and other one-time payments which, if spread throughout the year, would never have made any surplus.

Every now and then you get an anomalous month like that. That does NOT mean the budget is balanced or there is no deficit.

Why don't they figure out what to spend after they've received the income? You know, like pretty much everybody else does? (And don't bring up buying cars, most people figure the payment into the budget.)

Plenty on YouTube When I cited Rothbard, Nozick, Locke, and Hoppe for a consensus on what makes "property" he decides to pullo ut one of his favorites.

QuoteThose are just the scriptures of your religion.

Can we get a tally of how many times this asshat has said "herpa derp libertarianism is a religion!" without actually providing real arguments?

Then there's all the responses I got on this video. The video itself counts too though i've already posted it.

QuoteWould you rather have to take out your credit card before you can receive an ambulance, fire truck, or police support during an emergency? Would you rather build your own roads, build your own schools, and hire your own teachers? Would you like a free military that defenses our country against bombs using sticks off the ground with no wages to put food on their tables? Would you like no regulation of food and medicine to keep poison out of it? Can everyone afford to pay for these things?


I almost feel bad ab out posting this one since it apepars to be a list of arguments we've already seen and debunked countless times.


QuoteTaxing someone and stealing from them are not the same thing. Taxes allow us to live our everyday lives.

Firstly, and I'm pointing it out because this doesn't happen to you often, you got a click on Cool! for that comment.

Secondly, the notion of government starting the budget process with the question "How much money do we actually have?" is broadly considered absurd.  NPR's  "This American Life" did a story a while back where they openly mocked the notion that a government should budget that way.  (They aren't entirely stupid on that program, they also used an entire episode to do a detailed 'mea culpa' about getting taken in by that guy who wrote the largely false story about how bad conditions in the Chinese factories making Apple products are.  MOST of what they do is not too bad.  That particular story, however, is fail from beginning to end.)

Eminent domain is legitimate when it furthers a legitimate public goal... such as the interstate highway system. It has been misused, such as doing eminent domain with a low-ball offer to turn the property over to private concerns for some development.

In legitimate eminent domain actions the owner(s) are fairly compensated for the property taken. As such no theft.

Our society gives you the freedom to come and go where and when you wish. However, driving is not a constitutional right – it is a privilege you earned upon receiving your license. You are obligated to follow Texas' licensing regulations and rules of the road in order to keep that privilege.

This is in a defensive driver course I'm taking.

QuoteOf course "libertarianism" isn't for me. It's for psychopaths who would rather see children die horribly than make the rich pay a dime for their health care. Congrats,you're a horrible fucking excuse for a human being. Troll? No. I'm quite fucking sincere.

QuoteAccess to medicine is most certainly the same as the right to live. Calculation problem? lol The "free market" system in the US has really screwed that up hasn't it? I live in Japan, we have a single payer system here. I pay 40 dollars every couple of months to insure my whole family. Copays are around 5 dollars. What a horrible system, right?

QuoteForcing the rich to subsidise health care for the poor? THE HORROR!! OH MY GOD THAT IS LIKE HITLER OR SOMETHING!! Rich people paying a little extra so that poor people can get the human right that is health care. Unbelievable.


QuoteThe US, out of all nations on earth is the most free market when it comes to health care. We are the richest country in the world, and we can't afford to give our citizens health care, something much poorer Cuba has managed to do.

My responses:How nice, Tim is a fucking idiot who thinks stealing people's money to "help" people is good, those who are against mass theft are psychopaths. If someone doesn't want to fucking help you, they don't fucking have to. Those poor kids you don't actually care about would be better of in a free society where they could afford health care, not an unsustainable clusterfuck subsidized economy so people like you can live with the illusion of caring.

Did you just say cuba has a better healthcare system than the U.S.?

Presenting the great Cuban
health care system, where
poor people can't even get basic medical treatment.
Stop acting like the U.S. has
a free market. It doesn't some areas are freer than others, and are better for it. (i.e. video games) And stop acting like living within the same borders gives everyone some magical connection. It doesn't.
