First off, just feel the need to restate that I don't believe in forcing any view on anyone with stolen money. That said, my line on what I would label "religion" is fairly unambiguous. I don't just mean really controversial opinions or bad science, loaded with bias (like a lot of global warming science), etc. I'm talking about when the word "faith" is actually used by the adherents as if it were a good and necessary thing, i.e. the belief in something without evidence. Faith is never to be questioned. In fact, that are usually repercussions for questioning it, either by humans here and now or in some faith-based after life.

doesn't help.  I still fear you.  (And think that exhibiting a panicky fight or flight type response in text is completely appropriate regardless of Shaw and Brasky's preffered social conventions so don't be surprised if I get totally hostile when you continue to argue that you would be justified to use any sort of coercion whatsoever regarding people's faith.  

You don't have "faith" in science?  What word do you use?  Who the fuck are you to define that word for me and forbid me from using it?

What scientific basis do you have for the idea that man should be free from coercion?  Not wolves, or cattle.  But man, alone from all other members of the animal kingdom, have the right to life and liberty.   What is that if not a religious belief?  And what is to stop someone with infinite faith in science treating your religious belief in freedom like what it is and coercively prevented you from practicing your faith?  That ridiculous stupid religious belief that man is not morally equal to a rabbit.

I would hire the administrators I guess, like any other manager. No I haven't read most of the thread, it is boring. What part of "agreed on rules." did you not savy?
You move to a place, or set up a comunity, with rules you like (or can live with) and sign off on them, just like HOAs do now.

That doesn't account for people not yet born who have not consented and will not.

These people are costing ALL of us money. They moved to Keene with the intent to infiltrate any local elected office they can, with the intent of blocking progress, disrupting city function and finance, eliminate the tax code, depend on volunteers for key positions, clog the courts by committing intentional violations so they can argue their cause before a judge, destabilize law enforcement as well as other city services, and repeal or eliminate the city charter to eliminate the mayor’s office."

They put this on the internet free of charge to free-staters?  Someone send them a gift basket.

You mean like things that we know for certain are proven false?  like the non-existence of global warming?  I agree.  We need a monopoly to decide who is correct when it comes to science and the science of the mind and everyone should agree with them by law.  That can't be abused. /sarcasm

I'm a non-traditional creationist.  I believe if you find a watch in the woods in implies the existence of a watchmaker.  I believe it is a rational analogy to the miraculous (miraculous means I don't fucking know how it was done.. someone was smarter than me) machine we live on.  I think you're a fucking idiot if you don't see that and I fear you if you would force your foolishness on my children or prevent me from imparting my wisdom on whoever I want.  THIS is why NH and free staters is no safer a place to raise my kid than anywhere.

The month you made this post is the same month John Shaw posted this: http://bbs.freetalklive.com/general/why-flame-wars-won't-save-the-bbs-long-term/msg641287/#msg641287  is, according the forum stats, the month the BBS died.  There was one more 2k post month afterward but it was an anomaly.  August 2011 was the first month with no new members and there have only been 7 since. All 7 registered in March 2012.

They regulated this BBS to death :( 

I heard a rumor that by the end Brasky said he wasn't even libertarian.  Is that true?
