Duh. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 03:00:56 AM
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.
What is the basis for those other rights? Whence derives the authority to stop people from doing what they want with what is theirs? On what basis does the absurd and novel idea that property ownership is invalid pre-empt economic freedoms?

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 928 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 787 Views
ah I wasn't aware you were referring to a legal term LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:37:10 PM 846 Views
Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM 813 Views
what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 757 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 1008 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 824 Views
Re: trespasses against persons is subjective. Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:12:57 PM 828 Views

okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 758 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 787 Views
Duh. Cannoli - 14/01/2010 03:00:56 AM 781 Views

I'll agree to the trespass against persons imlad - 09/01/2010 06:07:29 PM 851 Views
What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 753 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 808 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 843 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 938 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 06/01/2010 04:45:58 PM 432 Views

would you have felt better if they were albino aliens? LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:16:20 AM 820 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 870 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 911 Views
It's just simplistic. Like a Disney movie, but no songs. What really bugs me is that the Company beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:48:32 AM 883 Views

I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 694 Views
