Anti-Stephanie stuff sounds like Statist stuff to me...You want her to spout YOUR opinions, it's okay, when she spouts her own, OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!

No.


They are voicing the opinion that they would maybe like to have less Steph on the show. They even said please in the title of the thread. Nobody is demanding it by force.


Hardly statism by any stretch of the imagination.

That was ME, and you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.  Read the fucking thread.  If I was a statist, I'd come up with some silly fucking threat that involved the state.  Go fish, jackass!

Yes, yes. If you don't like listening to someone, then you must be a statist. Ahhhhhhh!





Sometimes I think our movement would be even smaller if the people who supposedly agree with us actually understood what we're saying.

Like...."Football is statist because there's teams and you root for one side. Its just like war where you root for one side. So all sports fans are statists. Bread & Circuses!"

No, no, no. Its not aggressive to watch sports and root for a team because you like the colors or location of their stadium or the players' physique. Seriously, how fucking hard is it to understand the NAP?

Oh, come on. You're mis-characterizing her statement. She specifically conceded that it was in no way a violation of the NAP and that she had no problem with people doing it. She was just making a point about how the thought process of sports allegiances is very similar, and she is right (IMHO). The analogy has been made by others before her. She didn't even come up with it. But I've never heard anyone claim it was a violation of the NAP and therefore non-libertarian.

Long before I even knew what libertarianism or statism or any of that shit was, back when I was in about 8th grade, I recall feeling like the arbitrary-seeming local sports allegiances were ridiculous.

There was a football game coming up between Dallas and Atlanta. I was in school in suburban Atlanta. So many people were rooting for the Falcons, of course, including my step-sister and step-mother. My dad and I bet against them on the side of the Cowboys because we were quite confident that they would win. So we were rooting for Dallas. Why? Because we thought they were the better team and because we fucking had money riding on it!

When I see sports fans with admiration for a team other than one associated with where they grew up or where they're living now or whatever completely arbitrary association, I tend to be a little impressed with their thought processes. Otherwise it just looks stupid. No, not a NAP thing. They just seem stupid, and that's how my step-sister and step-mother seemed to me at that time. And they lost their money for it. But hey, rah rah, local team! Whooo!

Glad you mentioned that.  None of my teams are local.  There is a collectivist aspect to all sports, though, and sometimes it does show itself, like when Tim Thomas decided not to go to the White House with the Boston Bruins, and a whole lot of people said he wasn't a "team player" because he chose to avoid the obvious political scene (to their credit, though the Bruins organization separated themselves from his views, they said he was not and should not be compelled to attend.)

Did I say Stephanie said any of that? No.

My comment was directed toward the guy who thought that we're being "statists" because we disagree with Stephanie. Disagreeing with people and/or wanting them to stop hosting radio shows has nothing to do with statism. Just like football has nothing to do with statism. That's why I brought it up.

By the way, do you want to know who did say that "Football promotes statism"???? It was Ian. That is who I was referring to.

And how is it more "arbitrary" to root for a local team than to buy food from a local seller? I've heard many people on FTL talk about "supporting the local community." If it makes people happy to buy stuff from local businesses, so what? If makes people happy to root for the local team, so what?

The fact that there is a thread titled "Less Stephanie" confirms my suspicion that this chick needs to go. She is annoying, closed minded, and HATES WHITE PEOPLE. She is the bigot she proclaims to despise.

To Stephanie, I strongly suggest you do some reading on what the terms, racist, bigot, and xenophobia means. You sound like fool on the air. Grow up and get a grip on reality. The piss and vinegar that spews from your mouth is repulsive and to say the least irritating. If you even made an iota of sense its down out by your teeth sucking and sighs or condescension.

If FTL cares about it's program they will remove you from the show.

Some harsh comments here...I can't see being angry-hostile about Stephanie. I download every podcast and I simply stop listening when I hear Stephanie's voice - it's irritating to waste the time downloading a podcast I can't listen to, but it's not worth getting angry about.

Mark likes the controversy - he believes it to be good for business...I want more people to be exposed to the ideas of liberty, so I hope he is right, but I think Nemmy would be a far better choice. If Mark keeps Stephanie on long-term, I really hope someone teaches her how to speak into a microphone without gurgling saliva or sucking her teeth.
