We* have chosen to require clothes in public.


two things.

the first, I don't think there should be public property.

the second, we have not. ask a nudist.

quote:

We* have made speed limits and other safety rules.No one accept the gov.of NJ is exempt for those rules.


we have not. legislators have. perhaps you were asked about what the speed limits and safety rules should have been...but no one has consulted me. and as I remember, there were quite a few people upset about things like helmet laws...I don't think they were consulted either.

quote:

We* have chosen a number of rules and laws protecting us from each other and from the government.We* don`t want those laws tossed.


again, I don't think you know what the word 'we' means.

quote:

We* have also chosen to let states regulate guns,cars,business,elections,markets,drugs/booze and goods.


no...we have not...I chose to have all these things unregulated (by a government). and let's stop pretending these are done for altruistic means. the regulations of weapons through gun licenses hearkens back to jim crow laws where racists used the monopolistic power government has to strip liberties away from individuals. regulations on businesses and markets and drugs/booze and goods all are stained with rent seeking. this is true from the banning of child labor in textile mills to the banning of liquor to the granting of natural monopolies to the process of incorporating to tariffs etc.

quote:

There`s no such place as you describe,accept some parts of Afghanistan and Africa but you do not want to go there.


* as a civil society



there's no place that isn't touched by a government..so there's no place I want to go. I'll just try to live perfectly in an imperfect world.

Yes extremely bourgeois.  Trade has nothing to do with your statement.  You just said it was great for people to own guns if they want them as long as they can afford them.  What about those that have the 'right' to have them who cannot afford them?  One rule for one and one for another hey?  Lovely.

the.dark.


so if I said to someone who can afford a bugatti 'yes you can have it if you can afford it' and someone who cannot afford a bugatti 'yes you can have it if you can afford it'...I am making two different rules? now I know those who espouse the litanies or marx are not prone to using reason...but perhaps you coudl tell me why these are two differnt laws?

how about this. there are two individuals. one is attractive and can convince attractive people to sleep with him. the other is unattractive and cannot convince attractive people to sleep with him. I say to them both, yes, you can sleep with attractive people. am I making two different rules?

The way it works is: you saying you are the good guy and calling him the bad guy doesn't give you the legal right to kill him. That's obvious no? I mean if we lived in your world I could kill you for numerous other unrelated reasons and just claim self defence? You can't circumvent the justice system and if you shoot someone in the back it won't look good for you. No law enforcement officer is going to slap you on the back and say good job for that, I hope.
 
You belong to the wild west era, wanna go back there?



I'm not saying this has anything to do with being a good guy or being a bad guy. all it has to do with is this: they are on my property, I sense a threat.

and let's nto pretend something being legal equates to something being correct or just.

and yes, there are a few policemen who are worth something. my mother had a stalker when she lived in birmingham. he lived a few houses down from us. the stalker was trying to break in the door (my father was working at night) and she called the cop who lives downt he street. the cop told her to unload her gun through the door and he and his friends would find a way to drag the body in (making it ok under castle doctrine). so yes there may be some cops who actually care about things like property rights and individual safety who would slap you on the back. but cops like this (cops who are good people) are very rare.

whenever someone brings up the wild west it is very revealing. it reveals that they think in a very trite manner. a manner which ignores history and takes hollywood as a fact. you do realize that the wild west is a myth...yeah, there were some bank robberies and maybe a shoot out at a corral...but it wasn't what it was made out to be in spaghetti westerns (sorry to burst your bubble).

that having been said, yeah, I'd prefer the 'wild' west.

Actually I see that as anything but being a policeman who is worth something. Not only did he break the law but incited your mother to do so as well. Astonishing that you think that is an aceptable way to behave.

Okay.  You can stay on the island.  At least there would be someone around to talk history instead of Hollyweird.

The problem with that idea is the fact Columbo might turn up and ask why the blood stains lead in from the outside and what these scuff marks are? A crime scene isn't so simplistic as: lets measure how many millimetres the body is from the threshold.

how am I denying anyone a right? denying a right is prohibiting an individual from excersizing an action. how am I doing that? and I think the bugatti is an excellent theme for this as it's extraordinary price puts this in perspective. I say that any individual should be able to own any property he desires. this goes from heroin to fully automatic weapons to cars that drive over the speed limit.

I don't see there being a difference between 'guns for those that want them' and 'guns for those that can afford them'. I am, of course, ignoring your emotional suffix added to the relevent point.

I don't work under the assumption that our government is full of enlightened ubermensch and the law reflects their perfection. the law is more than a little flawed, as are the people who protect it. looking at anything from seatbelt laws to laws against homosexual marriage to drug laws to castle doctrine restrictions...this should be obvious. sodomy is illegal in alabama. I would be inciting an individual to break the law if I said 'sure steve, I think adam's a great guy. go sleep with him.' and I think that's more than acceptable.

ok. why not? do you disagree with self-defense? that is to say that violence is ok so long as you are defending against someone who aggressed against you.

I'd hope that to. unfortunately hope doesn't equate to reality.

he might. I'm not claiming that birmingham's finest would be fooled by the forensic evidence. I'm saying that they may be decent enough men to turn a blind eye.

no. you coudln't say iraq because iraq has a government wheras the wild west was mostly free of such things.

yes, you are. one aggresses against another's body and property whereas another doesn't.

Interesting idea! So how do you walk from one place to another? Who owns the roads you drive on?

Maybe I can put in a bid for the Grand Canyone or I always fancied owning Lake Powell.

yes.
