General / Re: Dllama in the Free State
« on: April 15, 2011, 12:35:25 AM »
By this logic, I shouldn't inform certain people that a person is a conman for fear that the police may get wind of it and investigate? I'm sorry, but this is where the whole potential vs actual happens to meet this issue. And for me, it's possible that CPS may get involved, but only if those involved already want CPS to be so. If a random nosy neighbor calls CPS, that sorta is the problem of said nosy neighbor, but if it's between people who know CPS is more trouble than its worth and they themselves don't contact CPS, then what's the problem? Ian, seriously, you need to parse context in this matter and not a false sense of adhering to 'principle'.

This
*IAN* is not amused! *tsk tsk*
That's what I'm going to do for now one, where I put we, I'll put Ian instead. Lets see how long it takes for me get to banninated by Ian for that.

General / Re: Sweatshop labor, compatible with liberty?
« on: April 14, 2011, 10:37:43 PM »
If we're talking about modern sweatshops which are enforced by state law and treaty (where local govts basically don't allow laborers to unionize or collectively bargain), then yes it's bad for liberty. Like or not, if the market forces on the price of labor go one way only (where the employer gets to set a price, but the employee has no right to set his/her), then it's not a free market.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhh ehehehehehehehehe, he said *hole*.
Who are you? Is that you Brigit?
No, it's your mother. Dinner's done, dear, time to eat.
But, I'm not hungry.
Okay, I'll put it in the fridge ready to be reheated in the oven.

Sourcecode. It's not a bad film, a bit hokey, but wth, it's part of the current crop of hokey, warmfuzzy scifi action films (Adjustment Bureau being one of them).

Bad video is bad. Seriously, by this dude's logic Computer Science isn't a science (hint: it is, if you understand that science simply means an exact ordering of knowledge per some conditions).

How the hell does nipple painting in a public park count as civdis when there's no law against said act intended for titillation?

Don't bother, they even have an issue debating non-Marxist leftists like me. Basically, they're shitheads. If you want to argue more freely amongst leftists of all stripes and not be bullied, then I'd suggest looking to the newspeak dictionary website forum. I use to hang there, it was a pretty good forum.

General / Re: Why I am not a Voluntaryist.
« on: August 07, 2010, 09:25:18 AM »Poor Kenneth doesn't want to stand by anything of substance, so I had to expunge his posts.
Deleting posts in a discussion does nothing to prove that the person doing it is open-minded.
Agreed, that's a shit move.
Don't get me wrong, I totally get why you deleted my first post, as it wasn't relevant at all, but deleting WTFK's posts, despite my past disagreement with his arguing strategies, makes me assume he's right.
He's not, he's trolling. I don't deal with trolls that don't admit their game is afoot. His argument was pretty simple: If you espoused X in the past you must espouse it now, even if it has nothing to do with Y argument in any way. Basically, it's a form of ad hom and it reminds me of how the Bolsheviks were treated by Lenin after the October Revolution: divide and conquer with bullshit accusations. In essence, that is what WTFK does, he assumes himself the grand definer of what is libertarian and what isn't libertarian, much like Communist Party fanatics did. Anyone who deviates or said something contrary in the past must be 'purged'. That's all there is to WTFK's thought process: a false dichotomy.

I never said I was open-minded. Equally, those that claim to be open-minded are often the kind that are easily deluded. Never confuse an active mind for an open one. Also, my thread is fully under my control in this subforum. If you don't like it, whine at Ian long enough, I'm sure he'll do something about it.

General / Re: Is Modern Physics near a working model for "Everything"?
« on: July 27, 2010, 11:39:38 AM »
Short answer: no.
Long answer: much of physics revolves around the concept of static 'elements' or attributes to describe the whole of physical systems and their consequences. Thus, they lead to many theories that seem rationalized, but oftener they're predicated on assumptions that are easily refuted such as M-theory, which is more of an exercise in mathematics than actual experimentation and falsification. Physics today has more in common with astrology than natural science.
