Woowee!  This is a doozey.
The big one:
"In other words, 100% taxation would be morally or "effectively" identical to slavery.
       
Except that it isn't. It just clearly isn't. Even with a rate of taxation of 100%, no one would be forcing you to labor, they would merely ("merely") be forcibly extracting 100% of the proceeds of your labor. If you chose not to work at all (and why wouldn't you choose this?), no one would be stopping you."

>>Govco can't force you to work
I smell bullshit.

“The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race.” — Sally Miller Gearhart

"If life is to survive on this planet, there must be a decontamination of the Earth. I think this will be accompanied by an evolutionary process that will result in a drastic reduction of the population of males." --Mary Daly, former Professor at Boston College, 2001.

I'm not sure where the fail is here, but it somewhere

From the looks of it, the fail is she managed to get to the podium while having some sort of break-down. If you subtract her God-tirade, what she said about the constitution is accurate.


I was driving to school and a fucking cop pulled up in front of a green light so that a funeral mororcade could get through without having to actually stop at the light, making me catch the light.

Nothing like honoring the dead--by inconveniencing the unwilling living as much as humanly possible.

QuoteYou see no issue with capitalists restricting people to the binary choices of work or starvation. Oddly enough, you'd interpret the choice between living in a state and living alone in the wilderness, as a depraved alternative that I manufactured. You believe in 100% volunteerism, but you cannot ensure that all of your volunteer states will respect the freedoms of people outside of it. Your philosophy depends on ethical universality, and perfect information.




QuoteWell, civilization by definition is Government. You are free to continue being a part of civilization, but you are also free to leave it behind you. You may claim that is a false choice, but all I'm saying is that the vast majority of people in the world choose the state. So, it's really only a choice that someone with your philosophy is faced with. I can't see why we should be burdened with your predicament, or where you get the right to force it on us.

Counting THREE fallacies so far in that statement alone. First is the old "government is civilization" claim. then "love it or leave it" and finally we have "don't force libertarianism on me!" Really that last one jsut make sme laugh. I kind of want to rebutt with a reductio ad absurdium like. "Don't force me to stop foercing others in to thigns they don't want!"


Oh here we go! I think somebody is tryign to step up tot eh challenge of "name one government in history bnot domianted by rich people" I honeslty odn'tknow anything on this chracter so i'm not sure of the validity of this argument.



QuoteDo you understand how politics works? If a party is elected and enacts policies supported by the masses then it is a government of the people. You fools just want to hand power to the rich without even having a vote on which policies you want.

Nye Beven is a great example of a working class leader, but there are many more.


Oh THIS one is just rich.



QuoteThere is no way to produce anything in society without simultaneously benefiting from government resources. If your kid was living in your home, you'd be justified in demanding that they pay rent and for some of the bills while living under your roof. Once you leave your country, I'm sure everyone would agree that you are no longer bound to pay for services once rendered by the country that you came from. Likewise, you couldn't charge rent to your kids after they left your home.

>Who don't have an interest in paying for the education of poor black children

And why the fuck should they? That has nothing to do with race, that has everything to do with who has the right of their own money you bloated windbag!

QuoteThis week, Paul Thornton, letters editor for the Los Angeles Times announced the paper will "no longer publish letters from climate change deniers," as reported by Poynter.org. Thornton says, "Simply put, I do my best to keep errors of fact off the letters page; when one does run, a correction is published. ... Saying 'there's no sign humans have caused climate change' is not stating an opinion, it's asserting a factual inaccuracy." Really? Is this kind of censorship good public-service policy for the Los Angeles Times? It is a good policy for the global warming alarmist movement because those who are more knowledgeable about climate change are more likely to dismiss the alarm as unfounded.

Capitalism can't work because people won't produce products that last because it isn't profitable. Hospitals just want you to get hooked to medicines

Funny that the very example he used involved the second most regulated (after banking/finance) industry in America.

Quote"Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis)[1] is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality."

if you arent a liberal, youre a prick.

Quotemy position is irrelevant. all that matters is the merits of what i say - for that reason, that is all i care about.

it is true that unless you are a liberal, you are a prick. likewise if you arent a progressive. likewise for myriad other things.
