Re: Indy - Librarycop

The difference is that you people discriminate against the very poorest in our society.

We don't discriminate against anyone. We morally oppose the initiation of force. That includes forced charity, but that doesn't mean that we have anything against voluntary charity.

You know you don't have the stroke to attack the rich so you feel as if you can improve your personal wealth by not contributing to the poor.

Yet again you say the same thing. Neither Librarycop, nor I, nor any other libertarian I have ever heard of has a problem with contributing to the poor. We do have a problem with the initiation of force.

Pherhaps you may see me as bankrupt in terms of legitimate criticisms be cause I tend to agree with the majority on issues of how we contribute to the well being of our society as a whole.

If you lived in Communist Russia or one of the current Socialist European countries, would you still agree with the majority on how we contribute to the well being of society?

See you just have a butt ugly, utopian, political agenda and the majority can recognize that fact a glance.

There is nothing utopian about libertarianism. Obviously we believe it is a better way of government than the current system, but we make no claims that life will be perfect. Would you mind explaining how you have come to believe it is utopian?

The "Parrot Boy" reference was in direct relation to Spallz being sucked into this whole politico, socio-ecconomic ideal, when it has such a strong resemblance to the Hitler Youth Movement.

That is an extremely offensive and hurtful thing to say. Just because you and I don't see eye to eye on political issues doesn't mean that one of us is a brainwashed Nazi. It seems like comparing someone to Hitler or the Nazis is always the last line of defense in an argument. Righton often uses it, and Librarycop has already pointed out the similarities between your tactics.

As offensive as your comparison may be, it doesn't bother me that much because it is a ridiculous statement to make. The Nazis were the epitomy of state control and anti-freedom. We are advocating just the opposite. The Nazi's thrived on the initiation of force. We reject that. Nazi Germany represents one of the most tyrannical governments in history. We advocate the most freedom-friendly and pro-liberty governments in history. There are absolutely no similarities between the two philosophies, and you look all the more ridiculous for making it.
