I know I just posted a fail quote, but this also HAD to be posted.

Well, I'm still Ron Paul 2012 !! My thoughts are, Libertarians need to work on "Objective Morals and Duties". Distance itself from atheist influence. I.E.: An atheist Libertarian cannot explain why he/she deserves 'Liberty'. Facts are, under atheism the opposite is True.

My response:

Really? So Murray Rothbard couldn't have written The Ethics of Liberty because he didn't believe in God? Harry Browne couldn't have written The Great Libertarian Offer and How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World because he didn't believe in God?

"HMOs are for profit! not for the people!" -- A woo I used to know, in response to HMOs

I wonder if he knows of the HMO Act of 1973?  Probably not.  He'd probably say that because they are for profit the law is still capitalism.



As for the atheist bashers, I believe Jacob Spinney put it best:  Atheism is a lack of a belief in a central planner of the universe, while anarchism (or at least libertarianism) is a lack of belief of a central planner of the economy.

I'd say he's borderline troll at this point.

From the video info box:

***** UPDATE E-MAIL FROM MICHAEL (Contestant on the show): Awesome man. This is so random but i am so glad you put this up. Folks are talking. The show won awards in the UK and so they made a US version. This was the pilot episode and the most popular. it was such a success that they got a full season from it. it is an hour long show and we were all randomly chosen. The judges and the contestants. So they wanted to see if the judges could "judge" without prejudice. They would go on to award the winner 25K. I was the winner. Myself and the other finalist were the only 2 contestants that got to actually meet the judges and when i met them, the polynesian guy had a change of heart and actually voted FOR me. The edits don't show that he came from his seat and hugged me. It was a very interesting experience. We had no idea what the judges were saying or doing or who they even were, for that matter. so i had no idea that he was racist when i went out and met the judges. It ended well though. I talked to that guy over a meal and he said that he had a change of heart.

So put this one in the WIN column!

it's not as total fail as the above, but there are some..irksome things in it.

Support the Student Forgiveness Act of 2012

Seriously, they want free college.

frankly though, 22,800 parts of me want me to sing this 

OK, jokes aside: this bill isn't going to solve shit in this country. it'll just give people more excuses to borrow....often wastefully, since c. 3/5 do not complete their bachelors (by my reckoning anyhow, so don't take my word at it). I'm one of the c. 1/5 who do, and on schedule.

No need for that, just remove the special classification of student loans, so that they get treated like any OTHER unsecured debt in, oh, say, bankruptcy.

This next quote reeks of stupid and was part of a debate I am in on that other forum.

"What you fail to realize that in fact a majority supports Patriot Act and those other human-rights violating laws. I personally do not agree with their motives behind their judgments but the people's will is the law. If you do not like, then emigrate or run for congress. "

That poster in the 1850s:

What you fail to realize that in fact a majority supports the Fugitive Slave Act and those other human-rights violating laws. I personally do not agree with their motives behind their judgments but the people's will is the law. If you do not like, then emigrate or run for congress.

Which forum is this, BTW?

It's a god damned anime forum of all places. They have a philosophy section there. All the freaks and weirdos of the internet love to show up there and I'm basically the only libertarian/anarchist there.
