That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM
The entire philosophy of your post rests on the absurd assumption that there exists a right to economic freedom that is somehow more true or tangible than the rights which you summarily discarded.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

I don't completely agree, but this is similar to everyone retroactively hating Tom Cruise's movies. Zalis - 05/01/2010 08:47:19 PM 927 Views
Which is just as silly, yes. *NM* ironclad - 05/01/2010 08:48:55 PM 415 Views

Actually, it isn't. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:46:30 PM 785 Views
ah I wasn't aware you were referring to a legal term LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:37:10 PM 845 Views
Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM 811 Views
what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 755 Views
Who has the right to say a parent is abusing the child, and what prevents abuses the other way? Cannoli - 10/01/2010 09:13:45 AM 1006 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 822 Views
Re: trespasses against persons is subjective. Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:12:57 PM 827 Views

What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 751 Views
He's such a parody of himself, one wonders if he's not a fake identity created by rightists. *NM* LiterateDog - 10/01/2010 05:14:31 AM 419 Views
uhm...nothing in nature shares with all. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:28:04 AM 806 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 841 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 937 Views

would you have felt better if they were albino aliens? LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:16:20 AM 819 Views
You really have a habit of missing the point of my posts in the name of snide remarks. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:47:36 PM 869 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 909 Views

I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 693 Views
