In Nicaragua the contra war had more deaths per capita than for Americans in any US war including the Civil War. That's still not a vice?

He kind of couldn't help it, since there were a lot of communists trying to hijack the civil rights movement, so naturally he had to work beside them.
There's no doubt in my mind though, that if King saw the damage that the "social justice" crowd has done to American blacks, he would go on the war path.

Freedom?
A simple understanding of Liberty in 8 Minutes...
This is liberty as intended by America's founders, and perpetuated by Ayn Rand, Anarcho-Capitalists, and Libertarians. Liberty is liberty. Period.

I don't think ... By: TableWolfMusic. on 17 Feb 12, 11:05:35 I don't think people should have debt thrust upon them. If somebody is born into a societal environment, that? is something they cannot control. An inheritance of debt is not liberty. I myself do have a problem with this video TBH. The definition of an individual's place in time can be seen in the contemporary sense that we travel forward into time, or the older (greek) sense that we stand still as the future hits us from behind, so we "see" in front of us, the past.
@TableWolfMusic You ... By: midsummerssun. on 17 Feb 12, 02:07:40 @TableWolfMusic You are completely missing the point. Please read my post carefully before you comment such trivial thing. Individually, no one "owns" anyone in the sense of owning properties. However, collectively, the society owns any member? of said society, and it is one's responsibility to pay back the debt they ow their society.
Somebody's parents ... By: TableWolfMusic. on 16 Feb 12, 17:12:01 Somebody's parents don't own them. They can have responsibility for them while they are a child and unable to make? adult decisions, but once they reach adult, they own themselves and their own ability to consent.

Do you have a friggin clue how many cars it takes to consume the oil produced by? BP ( or any other company )?
The reason you have ... By: fhellstrom. on 12 Aug 11, 00:08:23 The reason you have valuable property is that you deferred consumption to accumulate capital, something I am able to do as well. Or, this would be the reality, if it weren't for government intervention in the form of corporatism benefiting you, and taxes/regulations etc. making it artificially costly? for me to become a capitalist in my own right. THAT'S a class system. Besides, in a market economy, capitalists must direct their capital to its most valuable use or they will lose it.)

By: Incrue. on 17 Apr 11, 09:27:19 One have to be very naive to not see how anarchy is convenient to the big corporations.'but if they do bad things? the market will punish them', Nops.BP, can do anything, if one guy needs oil for his car he don't give a shit for were this oil came from.
Do you actually own ... By: midsummerssun. on 17 Apr 11, 03:26:12 Do you actually own yourself? Had it not for your parents, you wouldn't be here. Had it not for your society, you wouldn't be the person you? are right now. Humans are sociable animals, we depend on our societies to survive and thus, are in debt with our societies. Absolute 'liberty', if it could be called so, would be the utmost destruction of humankind.

Actually, if I have ... By: infikitsune. on 21 Feb 11, 23:30:19 Actually, if I have property and you don't, I'm better off if I merely rent my property to you in exchange for labor, instead of trading? it. That way, I always have something that you want, without having to expend any labor myself. Then I can pass my property on to my children, and you can pass your nothing on to your children, and we have what's called a class system.
1:58 - OR, we don't ... By: Altik0. on 17 Feb 11, 06:06:44 1:58 - OR, we don't need to take control of nature in order for it to be worth something. I think National Parks are wonderful and valuable BECAUSE people haven't "put them to valuable use."
I find this outlook on liberty to be demeaning to its very premise, and a blatant monetization of all existence. The idea that life is only worth anything as a property? is absurd, and gives way to the justification of complete atrocities to any reasonable perspective of justice.
I? understand that ... By: tgillet1. on 15 Feb 11, 21:00:49 I? understand that this is a simple/basic explanation of Liberty, and so I think it is effective in that light (though a bit slow going), but ultimately it raises some very important questions that form the basis for conflict between those who generally support the philosophy of liberty. For instance, what is "force" and "theft" with regards to using the power of money as influence or in the case of pollution?
This neglects the ... By: Viperzka. on 14 Feb 11, 23:27:13 This neglects the concept of the social contract. We all give up certain rights in order to be a part of society. To gain access we are forced to perform a plethora of actions and to refrain from actions.
Additionally it does not take into account the unequal acquisition of property, nor how that property is acquired.
John Locke stated? it best when he mentioned that property is the combination of freedom and nature. However, what happens when all of nature is owned?
I have a question:
... By: Jizzynuts. on 14 Feb 11, 15:44:23 I have a question:
If 'x' was abusive of the rights of 'y', how could 'x' be compensated and what would be done to 'y'?
This depiction of liberty suggests that if our rights are not respected, there is nothing we can do to stop it since we don't have the right to force the oppressive 'free agent' to abstain.
Further, it gives no incentive for people to respect others' rights, because there is no fear of punishment or retribution.
Is this the case or am I misunderstanding? something?

In Canada, you can still choose your family doctor and --when? you get quite sick and need to visit a tertiary institution for help-- choose your MD's and surgeons, the vast majority of whom are accomplished professionals.
It is affordable and very helpful! I hope you guys can figure this out and join us with a public option! Holla!
