Which is what I meant when I said:

The government is NOT the determinant of what we know! First of all, there's one and only one ingredient from cigarettes: nicotine, and nothing else in the e-cig that's known to be harmful, and it's WITHOUT all the harmful chemicals in tobacco! So even without looking at the evidence, there's pretty much no way these things aren't MUCH safer than cigarettes.

The government is NOT the determinant of what we know! First of all, there's one and only one ingredient from cigarettes: nicotine, and nothing else in the e-cig that's known to be harmful, and it's WITHOUT all the harmful chemicals in tobacco! So even without looking at the evidence, there's pretty much no way these things aren't MUCH safer than cigarettes.

Firstly, while the gov't isn't THE determinant of what we know, the FDA is the de facto primary source for medical/nutrition information in our culture. Whether it *should* be or not is another topic.

Secondly, Yes, logic dictates that they would be safer... Although there was a study that suggested that inhaling second hand vapor might deliver MORE nicotine than inhaling second hand smoke, that study also pointed out that you'd have to be right up on me while I was exhaling to get any. Unlike smoke, vapor doesn't hang in the air for any amount of time. In the OP's argument, you'd be to far away to have any health concerns sitting in a theatre behind me. Also nothing is being released from it if I'm not actively drawing on it, so there's no passive vaping.

I'm hoping you weren't under the impression I was defending the OP, because I wasn't. The world would be a much more amicable place if people like him stopped swimming in other's soup. Especially when you can't even smell the soup.

income tax is designed to pay for the goods and services we enjoy. when you fly, someone has to pay the FAA so they can continue to manage the industry. where do you think the money comes from to pave new runways and maintain the infastructure of the various airports so business can commerce and people can travel. when it comes to state income tax, where do you think that money comes from to pay for the goods and services for the state? where does the money come from to pave roads and maintain public schools? it comes from us the taxpayer. that is why we pay taxes, so the various infastructures can be funded and maintained. would i like more money to go towards maintaining America? yes. we piss away about $1 million a day to Israel. why are we throwing that money to them when our nations needs it. are there some things that the government mishandles, yes. but that doesn't mean ALL of it is bad.

yeah, how dare they regulate how we do business. companies should be allowed to do whatever they want to do eh. so if they put an ingredient that is harmful to humans in their food, purposely, and someone dies then they shouldn't be held responsible for it...or prevented from doing so in the first place. when my dad was in high school, there was little regulation on companies and a company in mid-Michigan was dumping their waste into Saginaw Bay. it got so bad that the lake itself started on fire. oh but regulation is bad. libertarianism is a fucking joke. wake up to life.

what type of arms: well you do know the 2nd Amendment does start off with "well regulated" don't you? probably not. conservatives like to ignore the first half of the amendment. so you think anyone should be able to get whatever arms they want? i'm a pilot, i should be allowed to buy a stealth bomber. it counts as "arms" so i should get it. and i should be able to buy my own nuke too. right? this isn't the wild west. regulation does need to be set in place so idiots don't take advantage of things and harm others.

(Not to TNU, but the guy he quoted.)

Funny how they don't say the same things about corporations that don't have anywhere NEAR that level of corruption...

what type of arms: well you do know the 2nd Amendment does start off with "well regulated" don't you? probably not.

You do know what the word "regulated" meant at the time, don't you? Probably not. It didn't mean "restrict," it meant "to make regular."

Also, READ ROTHBARD. If you'd just take time to read the fundamental books on libertarian philosophy, like "The Ethics of Liberty," you'd be able to discuss these things with us without looking like a complete moron. For example, he says PRECISELY where the line is drawn with what weapons should be allowed and why. As it is, all you have is a bunch of strawman arguments that NO libertarian agrees with (e.g., OF COURSE if someone causes damage to others they should be held responsible, and who was it that owned Saginaw Bay?).

He acknowledges his efforts were wasted.  He just wanted to give it a shot.

Ohh boy the folks at Cracked REALLY don't understand contract law the worst example is #2 in this list


This confusion would've been resolved by reading the actual opinion AT&T v Concepcion:

Section 2 of the Federal Arbitration
Act (FAA) makes agreements to
arbitrate "valid, irrevocable, and enforce
-able,save upon such grounds as exist
at law or in equity for the revocation of
any contract."

Meaning "you'll have to take it to arbitration, unless they (the company who wrote the contract) defraud you or commit other criminal acts under the guise of or while breaking said contract."  Even if said criminal activity didn't occur, it can still be taken to court albiet after a court ordered an arbitration for which the guilty party didn't show up for.
