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 981 Views
Which is just as silly, yes. *NM* ironclad - 05/01/2010 08:48:55 PM 446 Views

what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 805 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 1064 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 876 Views
Re: trespasses against persons is subjective. Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:12:57 PM 883 Views

okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 805 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 834 Views
Duh. Cannoli - 14/01/2010 03:00:56 AM 841 Views

What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 808 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 452 Views
uhm...nothing in nature shares with all. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:28:04 AM 861 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 897 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 1013 Views

would you have felt better if they were albino aliens? LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:16:20 AM 874 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 922 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 976 Views

I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 746 Views
